Investigations following recent

Paris has spread through every class

SOWING TWO POUNDS TO ACRE
Practical Dry Farmer, opnratIns Near
LethbrIdse, Alberta, Has Sur.
prisin9 Alfalfa Stand.

That alfalfa will grow prolific on
seeding Of only two pounds to the acre
Is the opinion Of L. A. Felger. a prac.
teal dry.farmer operating very large
acreage eight miles south of Leth-
bridge, Alberta. The use Of this sur
prisingly small quantity OF seed Is in
marked contrast to the opinions Of
many experts who have been making
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
12 acres. which was seeded with only
four pounds to the acre in May. 1911.
on fall plowing that had been cropped
the year before. His plowing was
done to a depth Of five and half to
six inches. and he believes that II he
had plowed deeper he would have re-
quired less seed. His seed bed was
well prepared and he used a twohorse
cultivator four times. and narrowed
early in the spring. He inoculated the
soil with soil from a neighboring al.
fnlfa field. and despite the fact that 1t
was a severe winter he noted no loss
through winter killing. He expects
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 a
good stand. Mr.. Felser has sent to the
Lethbridge headquarters Of the Inter
national Dry-Farming congress a
sample dug up on May %. which
shows a 15-inch stand and a root sys-
