It has been found that the plants
produce seed best when they have
plenty of room. Thin seeding is one
way to secure this result another is
to SOW in rows. The cultivation can
be given almost entirely with the

Alfalfa for seed is proving a

there is much to learn yet. The map
shown herewith gives the number Of
bushels of alfalfa seed raised in the
different states. North Dakota is
credited with only So bushels, while
other states with practically the same
conditions are raising thousands of
bushels.

son is wet 1t grows to stalks in such

NV Boy


My boy, you cease to come at night
To gladly climb upon my knee;
Your childhood days have taken flight
And soon you will be leaving me;
i may not greet you with a kiss
Lest ] your manhood should offend,
But, oh, my boy, remember this;
That remain your stanchest friend.
Your work is waiting for your hand,
The world will call to you ere long
To serve or to assume command,
To show if you are weak or strong;
Upon the rung your foot is set;
God give you courage to ascend,
But, well or i'll, do not forget
That / remain your steadfast friend.
My boy, your playmate soon shall be
A pleasant memory, no more;
But in your need come back to me,
Nor pause to knock upon the door!
The world will strive to break your will,
Your trust in sorrow oft will end,
But, come what may, remember still
That ] remain your faithful friend.
