1noreasi1sg the Production of Alfalfa


The results of experiments with
alfalfa have clearly shown the pos
sfbility of improving this valuable
crop.
Comparative tests and systematic
methods of seed selection have been
carried on to fix. combine and de-
velop the superior traits that have
been found in some of the best
strains of alfalfa from different sec
lions OF the world. But to do this,
and increase the progenies of these
types for commercial use, will re-
In the meantime, present results
seem to fully Justify the advice to
farmers, to SOW the Baltic or
Grimm's alfalfa seed, especially if
the seeding is done with view to
seed production as these two strains
have proved to be among the best
There are points of decided merit
in these over most of the imported
and ordinary strains of alfalfa.
Some of the points of superiority
found in these hardy northern
strains can be enumerated as fol-
lows:
/. Hardness and frost resist
ance. They have the ability to sur
vive winter conditions where Grid
nary alfalfa has failed or has been
seriously injured. This Is due to
the difference in the stooling hab-
its, the hardy strains having pro-
tected underground buds and shoots
spreading beneath the surface of the
soil. while the non-hardy types grow
more upright with their buds more
exposed to frost.
2. Better Quality of Hay1These
strains having heavier stooling hab-
Its form IL rger crowns. which send
up a greater number of stems that
tend to produce finer and more
leafy hay.
3. More adapted to different
soil conditions heavy stool
ing types have more branched roots
near THE surface of the ground
They also have a tenedncy to take
root from the lateral branches of
the crown, thus making this type
of alfalfa better adapted to shall
low soil. or soil with ground water
near the surface. They are also
hot 10 a hor
the root development must be nee
essarily near the surface as the
plant must develop from superficial
moisture. Yet under irrigation
these strains seem to have the same
deep root system as other alfalfas.
Early Blooming habits-This is
doubtless an advantage in several
respects. For instance. lengthen-
ing the period for honey flow. and
earlier maturity OF the first crop
OF hay, thus frightening the time
for subsequent crops to develop.
Early blooming is also an advantage
in seed production.
1t Is the aim and plan of the Col
Orado experiment station to foster
the Improvement and production of
better alfalfa, by encouraging farm
ers who are favorably situated and
otherwise qualified to specialize in
growing alfalfa for seed production.
thus developing an alfalfa seed
growing industry to produce improv
ed alfalfa seed.

'. RAY
 PRAISES WORK
Believes All Mem 1erS of First Legislature Were True to
 Pledges.

Senator Ray of seward. when interviewed by a representative of the Prospectur, gave the fol- lowing account of the work done by the. members of the legisla- ture:
 "The one most important fea- lure. in my opinion, with refer rncr lo the legislature now gone down in history, was the fact that party lines and sectional diff fercnceS were eliminated.
 "The members of the legiSla- ture were from many different walks in life, and brought to the deliberations had by that body the standpoint and viewpoint of men who were successful in their chosen vacations in Alaska.
 "To the Third division c0nsid- erable credit is due. About 70 per cent of the bills that became laws were introduced by members from the Third. Both Boyle and Ingram were hard, consistent workers <and faithfully attended their duties upon the various committees to which they were assigned. Bob Gray didn't have much to say. but what he did say counted. Both the work of MT. Gray and Milo Kelly was high class. intelligent effort well di- rected and accomplished results
 II am sure we are all glad the session is over. The men who made up the first legislature have parted good friends and will so continue:
 ..'l think congress does not and will not regret the granting of home rule to Alaska. The Session Laws will De printed in about 30 days and the people can then judge as to whether it's legisla-- tors have been true or false to the trust imposed upon them.

INGRAM PRAISES FELLOW WORKERS
All Members from the Third Di- vision Work for the Good
 of Alaska.

Representative Ingram, who returned from the capital on the Mariposa. in speaking to a re- porter for the Prospector, said that the Third division has just reason to feel proud of the rep rcSrmlaiiNrS sent tu represent this Judicial division.
 Pres ident Ray, of the senate. had made one of the best presid- ing officers of any legislative body and had enjoyed the conti- dcnce and respect of the mcnI- bers of the legislature.
 He spoke of Robert Gray of ka- talla. as one of the best men in the House, who could be depend- ed upon to do the right thing at the right time, and while rarely speaking, yet when he did talk he was listened to with respect.
 Representative Boyle had also done cd work for his constitu- ents, voting and working for the best interests of the people.
 Milo Kelly was power in the House and could be depended up- on to do the right thing.
 Mr.. Ingram said that as for himself he did the best that was in him to secure the greatest amount of good legislation for this division and for all Alaska, all the members putting aside sectional feeling and working for the general good.
 Senator Willard, he declared. was. one of the most industrious workers in the entire body and has the credit for introducing the largest number of important measures of any member in eith- CT house.
 My only regret" said Mir. ln- gram, "is the loss of the Austra- lian ballot bill, which would have provided a complete election law. The law was comprehensive. dealing with the nominations of the candidates, the party primar- lies, the method of holding the election, the canvassing of the vote, and provided heavy penal- ties for the violation of the law. It was the purpose of this meas ure to secure fair and honest elections in the territory"

London, May 5.--The Austri- ans have placed the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in southwestern Austria, in a state of siege. The SlaVS who reside in these two provinces have be- come very restive under the re- peatcd threats to invade MOnte- negro, and as the population is composed mostly of Montencgrin Slavs, it was found necessary to concentrate d large force to keep order.
 Loyal troops are being rushed to the frontier to prevent an out break against the government.
 It is semi-oflicialIy announced thai the Italian government will send troops to southern Albania to police the province until such time as final arrangements for the establishment of the new state have been completed by the powers.
