A sample Of alfalfa is being exhib-
tied here which was set out a year
south Of Tucumcari, the farmer after
ward having left the country Since
then the plants have grown and made
a good stand without attention and
with only the natural precipitation
Good reports come from all over the
country from those who have cared
for this crop and each year is seeing
an increased acreage.
