Why the Alfalfa Winter Kills

During the last few years careful
hundred alfalfa plants to determine
the cause of the loss of plants in one
field and not in another. Several
seedlings have been grown and plowed
mn in order to study the relative diff
ference. if any. between the crowns
where winter killing occurred and
where it did not. 1t has been OBJ
served that a marked difference ex-
lists between the type of the crown
or tie stooling habits of the hardy
and non-hardy strains. The non-hardy
type has a compacted upright grow
ing crown with comparatively few
buds or shoots below the surface of
the soil.
The buds are thus exposed to freez-
ing. thawing. and drying out which
: eventually weakens and kills alfalfa
in this arid region. The hardy type
is characterized by more spreading
crown with numerous buds and shoots
springing from the crown below the
surface of the soil These under
ground shoots in some of the best
plants of this type have been found
several inches below the surface.
The bud area in this type OF plant is
thus protected by the soil from dry
ing or freezing The seed that pro
duced this grim plant came from a
field in northern Minnesota over forty
years of age,
The building area of such plant is
enormous. 1t will stand the loss OF
many buds without apparent injury
and the soil protection will insure it
against the usual winter cold. There
is also a tendency for the underrround
shoots to take root at some distance
from the old center crown. In old
stools OF alfalfa Of this type the origi-
nal plant has been found in some
cases TO be dead. but it was surround
ed by ring of secondary crowns form
ed by the underground shoots that
have taken root and formed indie
pendent plants. Thus the hardy type
win maintain a permanent stand of
plants. while the nonhardy kind which
has the upright compacted crown
with the buds exposed has scarcely
any tendency to take root from the
crown. This will result in serious
injury. in time weakening and even
tuallv destroying the plant. Thus the
lstand of plants in the nonnardy type
is bound to become thin.

GROWING SEED POTATOES IN
MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO

The Agricultural college has done
ing of seed potatoes in our higher
mountain valleys at Carbondale, and
has worked out machinery and meth
DDS for planting potatoes close
enough in the row and between the
rows SO that the product may be
largely of seed size.
The potato disease situation in
the Rocky Mountain region is now
such that there will be better de-
mand than heretofore for healthy
seed potatoes. We find that the
potato disease becomes more des-
tructive with every added year the
same seed stock is grown in the di-
seased regions and that. therefore.
is sure TO secure a higher average
crop. The west slope has fine
market in Denver and Pueblo for
Peachblow or Mcclure potatoes and
for Russets and other non-standard
varieties. but they find it impossible
to secure a market for the seed po-
tatoes of these sorts. They will
find that standard varieties, such as
the Pearl and Rural will produce
them larger crops than the non-stand-
ard sorts, which will sell for just as
much money. and that the smaller po-
tatoes of these varieties will be easy
TO sell for seed throughout the Rocky
Mountain region.
The above recommendations are the
result of several years of careful ex-
pertinent on the part of the Agricul-
tural college and are true beyond any
question. The mountain regions need
the market for the seed potatoes and
they need the larger yields that are
produced by the standard varieties,
and the lower. or more moist. and
therefore. less healthy regions. need
the supply OF seed stocks of standard
sorts. c. L. FITCH

There are several ways in which
