Alfalfa on Dry Land.

There Is wide interest in informa-
tion for growing alfalfa on dry land,
ind many attempts to seed alfalfa are
made each year, but with almost as
many failures. Quite often, due to
poor preparation of the soil before
hand and trying the ordinary thick
seeding method which over pastures
the soil moisture, the result is fail
ure, but there are, however successful
attempts in growing alfalfa on dry
land.
The experience OF q dry land farmer

Where can buy the Grimm seed, and

"My land is not irrigated, the alti-
tude about 5, 300, the soil clay loan
originally covered with buffalo sod. )"
The above inquiry was answered as
fully as possible by letter, advising
that from description his deeply plow-
ed piece would be safe, to try alfalfa
on, and his plan outlined should give
success.
| Under date of February 2. 1913, Mr..
Hess again writes as follows:
| After receiving your letter decided
i to try Baltic alfalfa, as you seem to
think it equally good for hay and bet
| ter yield than the Grimm.
bought two and one half pounds of
the Baltic alfalfa seed from the Dakota
Seed Co., and, after disking the IA
acres piece several times and harrow
ing it twice, on May 18th, in. the eve
ming I sowed in rows 3 feet inches
apart, using about one and three
fourth pounds per acre Iused gar,
den drill to seed it, and on the morn
+. ing of May 23rd. less than five days
the alfafa was up thick.
| clipped it July 18th when it was
to 9inches high, and again August
18th, itwas clipped, averaging little
taller than the first time it was clipped.
The alfalfa made nice growth until
the ground froze up solid. 1 was sur
priced that it grew SO late in the sea-
son and during such unfavorable
weather.
The clippings were lefton the ground
for the mulch, and, although did not
. cultivate last season the ground did
not crust over but remained loose,
which suppose was due to the deep
plowing I gave it the year before.
I am glad you advised me to plant
the Baltic. 1 know it will do well next
season because it is deeply rooted and
there are several feet of moisture to
keep it growing.
From what I saw here, came to the
conclusion OF the following points:
1st. Alfalfa will not grow very tall
the first season.
Ind. Alfalfa requires deep plowing
and thorough preparation of the seed
he'd.
3rd. Each plant requires plenty of
room to grow well.

Miles of Track Buried in
Gravel, Sand and Snow.

NoSSA, OIAuA atlu 0ilOWe
MARCH Is, Driven before a
fifty-mile wind. miles of railroad
in eastern Colorado yesterday
were buried under a mixture Of
sand, gravel and snow, effectual-
ly blocking traffic over the Dem

moralizing on the lines of the

again annulled all trains between
Denver and Akron, Colo. y1ll
trains on the Rock Island this,
morning were marked indefinite
ly late. The Union Pacific Kan
sas City line trains were running
seven or more hours late. The
Burlington was the hardest hit
by the storm. The last train in
to Denver from the east arrived
at LII O'Clock yesterday after
neon According to passengers
and trainmen, the driving force
Of the wind responsible for the
blizzard of the night before has
seldom been equaled in eastern
Colorado storm history.
All passengers occupying
berths or seats on the north side
Of the sleepers and coaches were
compelled to abandon their
places and take refuge on the OPP
posite side Of the cars. Passen-
gers in the sleeping cars awoke
to find the snow being forced ill
to their berths, while the double
windows of the day coaches eon
the side of the cars receiving the
full blast of the wind afforded
no better protection.
The last,train over the Union
Pacific from the east arrived at
1856 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Trains over this line are expect
ed to reach Denver this after
noon. Wherever possible all
trains were "tied up" at stations
in order that the delay might
cause the passengers the least
inconvenience.
Hundreds of passengers with
tickets for eastern points
thronged-the Union depot last
night and this morning were un-
able to start on their journeys.
Arrangements were made by the
railroads affected to extend the
time on all tickets until traffic is
again placed on a normal basis.
Because of the sand and grav-
ell carried by the wind into the
cuts along the right of way the
operation Of snbw-plows alone
has proven insufficient to clear
the tracks. Today hundreds of
laborers with shovels and other
hand tools are working at points
where the rotary plows have
found it impossible to clear the
heavy deposits Of sand, gravel
and weeds that prove far greater
barriers than the snow. Denver

SOME REMARKABLY LONG voY.
AGES ON RECORD.
Recent Cruise OF italian Ship Brings
70 Mind Some Queer Passages on
the Bounding Deep-cireIed
Gulf Of Panama.

The other day there was reported
an Italian ship in the English channel
1876 days out from Astoria Bar. that
had been spoken by no other ship in
all that time Within the experience
OF the deep-sea sailor such passages
are nothing unusual, particularly on
the outward voyage to the Pacific,
when Cape Horn vas to be weathered
and its prevailing westerly winds
won through.
On March ?, 1910, the four-masted
bark Invernesshire sailed from Ham
burg, bound for Santa Rosalia. in the
Gull Of California. During a passage
that included such incidents as her
temporary abandonment by her crew
ia dread OF her laundering she was
forced 10 put into the Falklands to re-
81. and sailed away again on her in
terrupred voyage on September 27.
From that time she was neither seen
nor heard Of until She arrived safely
~ her destination On February ., 1911,
536 days out from her original port
OF departure.
The voyage OF the Inyernesshire al
most compares with the performances
OF the cumbersome craft Of earlier nav
igators
on November 10. 1857, the Desire,
under command OF one Thomas Cav
eDdish, a gentleman of Suffolk, Eng
land, set sail from the headlands OF
California for the English channel
AT break of day on June of the fol-
lowing year she fell in sight Of the is
land Of St. Helena; on July 3 she
rossed the line, and after holding
the brave trade winds to the limit of
30 degrees north latitude, recovered
the long-wished-for port of Portsmouth
on September z, 1888
The sailing master of the Desire
thought il worthy of record that. rum

compassed 40 miles between noon

Among some extraordinary voy-
ages made by deep sea sailing craft
within recent years, there may be
mentioned that of the Beacon Rock,

all hope Of her safe arrival had been
abandoned, she turned up at ralca-
huano, Chile, some G,OOO miles from
her intended destination

after her election began to urge that

INCREASE IN THE NAVY.
President Expected 10 Approve Sec
rotary Daniels Plan for ; Battle
shiDs.

The President had a conference last
week with the Secretary of the Navy
regarding the recommendation which
hall b made by the latter in his
annual report and the former in bis
message to Congress on the subject
Of thu increase of the Navy.
While no official statement on the
subject is vouchsafed from the Navy
Department, il is believed that the
President has approved Mr.. Daniels
plan to ask Congress at the next ses-
sicn to authorize the construction of
three battleships IL this is done, it
is probable that the Navy Department
will not rec )mmend the constructitn
of any other ships. A recommends
tion of this sort, having the indorse-
ment of the President, will have
much weight with the House naval
committee. All of the Republicans,
of ca urse, will vote for a three-bat-
tleship program, and it looks now as
if there would be enough Democrats
among the majority membership to
stand 10y the admins tration in this
matter
It will be altogether different
when the naval bill, with the items
for increase OF the Navy, comes up
in the House for consideration. There
will be- vigorous and vociferous oppo-
sitiou 20 providing three battl' ships
in the next session; there would be,
indeed. an equal amount of resistance
