IOWA ALFALFA.
IOcheydan Press.l

C E. Benson, who resides fve miles
east of Ocheydan, Is one OF the few
farmers In this section who have come
to realize the fact that we must not ex-
pect to make much money on high
priced land if we persist in raising the
usual crop of corn and oats.
In an interview with Mr. Benson the
other day. he informed US that alfalfa
is the best paying crop that ne mas
ever raised and that It is safe crop
in this section He has in a small patch
of eight acres. part of which he seeded
three years ago. part last year and the
balance this spring. The part that was
seeded three years ago was cut aooul
the middle of June and went better
than three tons per acre. while mat
seeded last year cut better than TWO
tors per acre. And that is not all. as
Mr Benson says it is again over foot
high and that he will get two more cut
tings this year. He figures on close TO
nine tons per acre this season. Ailaila

HOW CESS GROWS ALFALFA.
lGraettinger Times.1

z. H. Geiss probably owns the larg-
est acreage Of alfalfa IL Iowa. Up to
two years ago his stand embraced six
" acres. but the yield was SO great
that he found 1t impossible to take
care Of it properly, even with the at
dition Of three extra hands. besides
himself and son. He plowed up forty
acres of it. but last year again sowed
twenty acres more. Mr. Geiss cuts
from three TO seven tons an acre His
land is rolling, typical of central Pot
tawattamie county. He has never had
to spread lime or inoculate. Ten years
ago he started with ten acres, being
the first man in his section to raise
alfalfa. He sowed in the spring with
out nurse crop, and cut the weeds
two or three times. He used only Ne
braska seed grown at Ewing. He urges
every farmer. no matter how small his
farm, to raise at least five acres Of al
falfa.

The Washington correspondent OF

usually of Washington matters with
