project which he has had up for

Young Clark, now a promf-

In the proposition.
Gillies Is back in Tacoma now
and the connections he has form
ed since he left last have caused
some Tacomans who were skepti-

ably on his plan.
The city council will probably
soon grant an extension OF his

SOWING ALFALFA

The work of Delaware Experimen
Station the past year has demonstrate,
that Alfalfa can be grown successfully II
every section of the state, provided Ger
tain cultural methods are followed. Las
summer more than fifty farmers began al
falfa culture under the direction of tht
Experiment Station, and in most case
the results were 50 gratifying that thu
grower is planning to increase his acreage
Of that crop. In view of the general in
terest manifested in alfalfa culture at thi!
time, the Agronomy department of the
Delaware Experiment Station gives the TO
lowing hints to the prospective alfalfs
grower.
Select the richest and best drained land
on the farm for alfalfa. Avoid land where
water tends to stand during the winter
and spring months. If the land is carry
ing no crop at present, plOW at once.
Wheat or oats stubble ground may be
disked. After potatoes or other food
crop is removed, the ground should be
pIowed or disked. Harrow the land after
every rain, or once a week, until the mid
die of August. The soil should then be
rather firm with fine earth mulch of
two or three inches in depth.
About 10 days before seeding lime
should be applied at the rate of one ton
Of prepared lime to 2 tons Of ground lime
stone (unburned) per. acre.. Harrow
lime in thoroughly, Just before seeding
use at least 900 pounds per acre of fertii
zeT of a 2-8-s mixture. Or, if home
mixed goods are used, apply 500 pounds
per acre of mixture of 400 pounds of
acid phosphate and 100 pounds muriate
of potash. The latter mixture is perfer-
red on land where food crops have been
removed. Soil from an old alfalfa field
should now be carefully distributed over
the field. Two or three hundred pounds
of earth per acre is sufficient. To facili-
tate better distribution the inoculated soil
should be mixed with an equal quantity
of other soil in order to give more bulk.
Harrow in the -inoculated soil at once Soil
for incubation may be secured from the
Experiment Station. Another method of
inocultaion is by means of cultures which
may be secured from the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. G. The cultures, together
with directions for use, are sent free upon
request.
Sow the alfalfa about the 10Th or 10th
Of August. Be sure that there is plenty
of moisture in the coil an inch below the
surface of time Of seeding. Sow 20 pounds
of seed per acre, 10 pounds each way.
Harrow in lightly. Ii the land is rather
dry, roll.
If the above directions are carefully
followed, there will be little difficulty in
getting stand of alfalfa. The Depart
ment OF Agrol omy of Delaware Station
will cheerfully answer any questions re-
Iative to methods OF culture for this vaIu-
able legume.
