alfalfa IN ROWS
FOR A Seed CROP
SHOULD BE PLANTED IN ROWS
ABOUT THREE FEIT
APART.

II you have sowcd alfalfa In rows
ana cultivated the crop tho same as
corn for the production of seed, etc,
what success have you had? pid you
SOW TurkesIan, or hardy, dry-land al
ialiu and what time in the year or
month, would you advise one to SOW?
what preparation would you make
win soil before planting
We have just begun 20 experiment
with cultivatlng alfalfa In rows. We
sowcd ten acres last spring which has
made good stand, but there IS some
danger that grasshoppors aud dry
weather may destroy H. We planted
In rows three feet apart Boy stoppng
part of the seed cups in the drIll,
drilling the alfalfa about the same
thickness in the rows as when soWu
In close drills. This requires about
Two pounds Of seed per acre. We
sowod common western Kansas alfal-
ia. Western Kansas dry-lund alfalfa
is hard To beat for Kansas planting.
The Grimm and Turkostuu also are
hardy varieties ana adapted for west
crn growing.
Prepare the secdhod as you would
for seeding alfalfa broadcast or in
close drills, The soil should be free
from weeds, well settled, wen puly-
cri2ed and wen stored with moisture.
Sow In the spring n your section oi
the state, after good rains when the
soil is moist enough To gcrminate the
seed at once.
As stated, we are just beginning
the growing Of alfalfa in rows by cul-
tiyation AT this station, but consider
able trial of this method has been
made by farmers in western Kansas
and western Nebraska. The United
states department of agriculture has
published a bulletin on this subject.
Write for copy to j. W. Wcstgatc,
assistant agrostologist, United states
department o agriculture, Washing
ton, -. c.
The yield may vary with the sea-
son. one cutting for seed or some
times one crop of hay and one Grip
of seed may be harvested, or from two
20 four cuttings Of hay, depending on
the season ana moisture supply. Hay
yields are usually light; one ton per
acre per year is perhaps an average
yield. Seed yields are sometimes very
large, yilds Of four and five bushels of
seed per acre being reported Per
haps two bushels per acre would be a
good average.
In my judgment this method Of
growing alfalfa may be practiced sue
cessfully on the highest and driest
land in our western counties, the pro-
duction Of seed being the main OBJ
ject. | refer to Kansas seed men for
alfalfa seed.
We are sowing about forty acres Of
our second cutting for seed and hope
to have some good seed for sale next
winter.

pnhllc scrNlcc Commissions.

The members of the public service
commissions in the various states as
factors in the Investment markets,
are Of much greater Importance than
frequently realized These commits
sions. almost uniformly, are com
posed Of high-minded, broad gauged
men and the fairness Of their atti-
tude has gone a long way toward
tustifying the confidence of both
bankers and private investors in the
securities of public utility companies
which come unde rthe supervision OF
these commissions. In the first place
they supervise security issues that
Is regarded as a strong assurance
against excessive capitalization. Thus
they become obligated TO a certain
degree to the investor, while on the
other hand. it is equally their duty
to enforce their rates to the con
suming public. This combination of
influence acts as preventative to eX-
tremes either way; consequently the
rates are adapted to basis that
makes for the entire safety Of the in
vestor and that gives the communl-
ties satisfaction. This Is one of the
main reasons for the great popularity
that public utility investments have
enjoyed of late years.
one of the few public utility securi-
ties listed on the stock exchange Is
the stock Of the North American
company. 1t pays per cent and
earned about 6 IA per cent according
to the last statement published. AT
current prices, It nets the investor
about 5 "a per cent on his money 1t
is interesting to compare these iea-
lures of a listed market with securl-
ties Of similar properties on the un-
listed market Many of these latter
net from 6 to ~ per cent, but show
earnings Of two or three times their
dividend requirements, Such rates of
income backed by surplus earnings
OF these properties render securities
exceptionally immune to the inhu-
ences OF sympathetic weakness at the
time Of liquidation This comparison
is an Illustration of why purchases Of
OF unlisted investments have reached
a great volume Of late years.
