number of years ago, when the

through it. One corner in particular

alkall salts that it seemed impossible

man tried repeatedly to start alfalfa
ON the same sort of land adjoining and
failed. He sOwed it in the fall so as
to get it up before the frosts would

alkali Killed the young plants both
years. We were confident that if the
alkali could be kept down an excellent
stand could have been secured We
also knew that diligent cultivation after
each rain in the spring would keep
the alkai evenly distributed in the
lower depths Of the soil and prevent
its collecting on the surface. AS alfalfa

shower Of rain would bring enough
alkali to the surface to kill the last
plant in HAT length Of time, it was
either n"cc SSary to gamble on the
weather or postpone planting until the
rains We're over. We decided to try
the latter method. We ran over the
plot of land with a harrow twice after
every shower as soon as we could get
a team on it, also as soon as weeds
SprOuted, and on the 7th of June SOwed
the alfalfa seed broadcast at the rate
OF about twelve pounds an acre and
harvested it two or three times just as
if it were grain. Within weeks time
the alfalfa showed green all over the
lot and the stand was perfect. The
weather came on hot, the soil was
loose and warm, the alfalfa had all
the ground for itself as all the weeds
had been killed as fast as they sprOut-
ed, and the way that alfalfa grew was
very gratifying. We cut two good
crops Of hay from the lot that same
summer and fall. Aftcrward we made
experimental paintings in July, follow
ing the same method, and secured like
results.
A few years later we came to the
Sacramento valley and found ourselves
on a dry upland ranch. We wanted
an alfalfa patch and decided to follow
the same methods as we had in PO-

rick In the sixth district lies in the
continued division in the ranks of the
republican party. Without a bull
moose candidate In the field, the or
ganization does not contend that
either of the democratic representa-
tives would stand the ghost of a

Republican members of the Iowa
delegation believe that the bull moose
movement in Iowa will not amount to
much a year from now and that the
democratic tariff bill will have the
effect of the state once more sending
a solid republican delegation to the
national legislature.
