z POUNDS ALFALFA
SEED TO ACRE
Farmer of Canada Gets Good
Stand from Surprisingly
Small Quantity of Seed.

That alfalfa will grow prolific |
on seeding of only two pounds to |
the acre is the opinion of l.. A.
Felger, manager of the Ohio-Al-
berta Farms Co., a practical dry
farmer operating a very large
acreage eight miles south of
Lethbridge, Alberta. The use of
this surprisingly small quantity
of seed is in marked contrast to
the opinions of many experts
who have been making a study
of alfalfa for many years. in that
opinions as to the quantity of
seed to be sown have varied from
13 to 20 pounds to the acre.
Mr.. Felger has an excellent
stand of IL acres, which was
seeded with only four pounds to
the acre in May, 1911, on fall
blowing that had been cropped
the year before. His blowing
was down to depth of five and
a half to six inches. and he be-
lieves that if he had plowed deep
er he would have required less
seed. His seed bed was well pre-
pared and he used a 2-horse cul-
tivator four times, and narrowed
early in the spring. He inoculat-
ed the soil with soil from a
neighboring alfalfa field, and
despite the fact that it was Sc
we're winter he noted no loss
through winter killing. He ex-
poets his field will yield two and
possibly three cuttings, but he
plans to use a portion of the field
in raising seed.
To prove the success of his
theory of planting in rows and
using only a small quantity Of
seed to secure good stand, MIR
Felger has sent to the Lethbridg,
headquarters of the Internationa
Dry-Farming Congress sample
dug up on May 22nd, which
shows 15-in III stand and a roo
system of 314 inches before j
was cut with a knife, and it il
plainly shown that the root wa
still longer.
Il am going to seed only tw
pounds to the acre next year,
says Mr.. Felger. 81 find tina
four pounds makes too thick
stand, and | am going to stop u
all the holes of my drill excep
two and thus reduce the amour
of seed used, and at the sam
time mix my seed with groun
feed. l sowed some alfalf
where used every hole of tn
drill and it required Is pound

which were features of the Co
lumbar Exposition of Chicago
in 1893 and which have been in
| the Lake at Jackson Park, Chi

teresting features of the Worlds
Fair.
The hotel men of San Francis
co have pledged themselves tC
raise one hundred thousand dol
lars in addition to the one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars
they have already subscribed il
aid of the 1915 Worlds Fair. San
Francisco has twelve hundred
and thirty seven hotels with six
ty thousand rooms. Ninety pc
cent of the hotels are less thar
four years old and are modern il
every respect. Before 1915 tn
