By Willard H Denis, of the Peoos Valley of Texas.

to call for an irrigation, until the last
Of the following May.
Don't Hurry the Water.
We would here utter word of eau
tion as to the most frequent and seri-
Gus mistake that is made. l. e.: apply
Ing water when the plant is too small;
because the ground appears dry on top
1t is frequently irrigated before it is
four inches high; unless the weather
and water are quite cool, this will be
apt to injure the stand seriously. There
Is. however, an instance or two where
harm has been done by irrigating when
the water was so cold 1t subsequently,
formed ice over the field, to the con-
siderable injury of the stand; however,
1T is never really needful to irrigate
IN cold weather.
Clean, plump and even colored seed
should be secured from a reputable
seed house; grown as nearly as may be
under the same conditions as to soil
and climate as obtain where it is to
be planted; seed grown under very
dissimilar conditions does not make
as vigorous a plant. even If 1t comes
up. That 1t Is a year or so old is a
matter Of no Importance as alfalfa seed
rktains good vitality for five or six
years or more.
Best on Light Soils.
Alfalfa can be grown on almost any
kind of soil that has the requisite
depth, but IT is more profitable and
the stand endures longer on the light
er soils, especially if they have some
sand in them That is, any soil con-
tanning lime, which seems to be the
one Important constituent for this crop.
That 1t fleurishes exceedingly in all
portions of the Pecos valley is proba-
bly, largely owing to the liberal supply
of lime in these soils in a condition
to be readily assimilated.
On soils where alfalfa or Melitotus
Alba have not been grown, there is
often a marked advantage in treating
the seed with the proper nitro-culture,
or else securing soil from an old inoc-
ulated field. This is not Indispensable
but 1t tends to the vigor of the plant
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-07-22

" HE vital matter for the man who
is considering any kind Of plant
ing is the amount and certainty
OF results. in other words. What there
is in it"
AS regards certainty OF production
{when under irrigation), the element Of
doubt is practically eliminated; given
a piece of ground that water will flow
over with a reasonable amount OF wa
ter. the rest is easy and sure. The
vigorous root system of this plant goes
10 a great depth quickly and gives the
needed support for many years of pro-
ductien.
Seeding.
In the Pecos vale, alfalfa has been
planted successfully nearly every
month in the year: less seed. however
is required, and probably a more Wig
orous plant secured. when it is put
IN the ground the last Of August or
during the month of September.
Any field that is in reasonably good
condition say for the planting of
wheat is all right for seeding alfalfa;
the one all important point Is that 1t
should water evenly and quickly.
The width between minor sub-latey-
ais width Of borders or creases, ETC..
are matters that must in measure be
determined by the class of soil. natural
grade of the land. and the nature Of
the water supply.
One Of the best methods Of planting
is TO use press drill. which has an
alfalfa feeding attachment The weight
of this machine is sufficient to firm the
seed well in the ground. The best
time is after a thorough irrigation and
when the ground has BECOME firm. 1t
IS well to harrow disc or use an Acme
harrow ahead of the drill so a dust
mulch OF about two inches may be Sc
cured, so the firm soil beneath may be
retentive of moisture. The proper
depth must depend in a measure on
the nature of the soil; varying from
half an inch to / IL inch.
Surprising this is done In September,
no further attention will be required,
unless the ground becomes dry enough

fertilization; in any event. they do no
injury and are highly profitable.
More seed Is being raised each year
in the valley; with a production OF
from 800 to 500 pounds per acre, with
prices ranging from IA TO II cents per
pound, 1t Is a most valuable crop.
The threshed hay pays the cost Of
harvesting the seed crop, bringing $40
and s11 per ton when baled. 1t is IN
good demand and is liked by stock
The seed raised in this part of the
valley is very high grade, generally
plump and that golden color, with
few dark specimens in it, indicating a
high percent Of vitality.
1t. is also free from dodder, yellow
trefoil, ETC., which makes comforta-
to plant.
Makes Soil More Fertile.
The alfalfa grower occupies an envi-
able position in one marked respect.
l. e.: the continued Improvement Of the

continued planting Of other crops with

unappropriated to its own uses. togeth
er with the great depths the roots
penetrate make for conditions of the
highest fertility.
With proper care the stand endures
for many yeart. where hay is the sole
product and undue pasturing is avoided.
hence a well set field is an investment
of the most permanent type.

sive Operations on several properties in
the district While fairly good
amount OF work is going forward and

general tendency seems to be to wait

WRESTLING NOTES.

Zbyszco, the Polish wrestler, who Will
tackle Or. Roller in Boston in few
weeks, is a lawyer by profession and
took up wrestling as a means OF eXer-
else. The game got a firm hold on him
and he deserted his briefs, declarations
and written opinions, for the wrestling
mat. ZbysZco is not the correct name
of this Polish athlete.
When Jack Curley, Hackenschmidts
manager, was last in the Hub the Rus
sian Lions manager stated positive
ly that his charge would not meet
Mahmout for the wrestling honors.
Curley gave no real reason why such
n match would not take place. but in
asmuch as Frank Gotch considers NAH
mout worthy successor to the title,
Curley looks to have a little more to
explain.
