corn-Orowing Contest.

County Superintendent II. H.
Hanson and Tom O'Brien. the Lin
ton Scotsman. have recently COM
pleted the mailing Of seed corn to
the school children throughout the
county. the seed to be used in the
annual corn-growing contest. This
year the commissioners made no APP
preparation for prizes for corn
grown by school-children; but,
through the efforts of the first-men-
toned gentlemen, the Quincy seed
house of YaEkton. S. D, was pre-
vailed upon to contribute the seed
and provide the prizes. The holding
of such contests each year tends to
interest the growing generation in
matters pertaining to the growing
of farm products. an interest which
it is necessary to foster if this Sec
tion of the Northwest is to prosper,
and Messrs. Hanson and O'Brien are
entitled to great deal of credit for
using their efforts in this way.

siderable moisture after corn or 20
tato crop. Herein lies the value Of q
previously cultivated crop or summer
eallow.
Under favorable conditions the root
development the FIRST season Is quite
remarkable. In Colorado. alfalfa plants
only 9 months old have been found
with roots nearly on feet long. At
Dickinson plants Is months from seed.
ing have been dug with roots 8 feet or
more long.
II alfalfa IL sown in q soil having no
excess water stored In the sub-soil,
chances for the development Of good
root system the first season are not
good. The shallow roofing weeds.
which are bound to appear to great
or or less extent. will take up much
Of the moisture a. II falls. allowing
but little to penetrate into the deeper
layers Of soil to benefit the young al.
falfa plants. When no moisture has
been stored from the previous season.
tho flrst years alfalfa growth is
stunted. and the condition Of the stand
may be permanently injured.
When sown on land with dry sub
soil. the roots penetrate for few
inches through the moist soil and then
reach the dry. hard sub-soil, located
perhaps at the bottom Of the furrow
slice. Being unable to penetrate the
dry soil. the roots stop growth en-
tirely. or perhaps run horizontally in
the bottom Of the furrow. Alfalfa Is
thus changed from q deep roofing to
shallow roofing crop. 1t 10 changed
from drouth resisting crop. which
1t normally Is. to crop unable to re-
sist drouth. The root system Of alfal-
IA is the life Of the plant. and Of the
crop. and the best Of conditions
should be afforded for the develop.
ment of the ROOFS.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the necessity Of sowing al
falfa on land with moist sub-soil. i!
the sub-soil is naturally moist, lesi
care need be taken in conserving mois
ture the season previous. II one does
not have land with q sub-soil moist
to moderate depth. then the plant
ing Of alfalfa should be postponed un
til the soil is put in at condition in
this regard.
Alfalfa is poor weed fighter the
first season. Weeds injure the young
alfalfa plants by direct smotherine
effect, and also Indirectly by drawing
the moisture from the soil that would
otherwise be available for the alfalfa
There is an added advantage In hav
ing the root system develop as much
as possible the first season. Alfalfa
we'll rooted the first summer 10 les'
liable to be injured during its mrs
winter. 1t 10 generally believed tina
alfalfa is more liable to winter XII
during the flrst than during subse
| Quent winters.

Watch the Thumbs.

A physician in charge OF we'll

it stand out at right angles from
