1t was brought out in the alfalfa
meeting at Pierre last week that last
year Stanley county raised and sold
$44, 900 worth of alfalfa seed beside
the amount held for home use; that
the hay raised on the same ground
was vauled at $4,000. For the same
year Sully county sold $4,000 worth
OF seed, and Hughes county $4,000
worth. The hay in these counties was
also a large item in the alfalfa pro
ductiOn. These figures in part show
the development of alfalfa in the west
ern and central parts of the state.
Many men along the Missouri river
who have made the raising OF this
crop their main work for several years
are not only helping to build up the
country, but are making good annual
incomes for themselves by the sale of
alfalfa seed, that from the central and
western western part of the state hav-
ing secured a name for itself among
the dealers in this class of seed.
