RED CLOVER OR ALFALFA?

While alfalfa is being praised to
the skies in the East and by every
land boomer of the west, very large
number of ranchers in southern
Idaho are abandoning it in favor of
red clover. There are more reasons
than one for this change of senti-
nent concerning alfalfa. The fact
that it, is perennial and lasts in
definitely, once it is established, is
one of these reasons. 1t is very
hard to subdue once it has a good
hold on the soil. Breaking and kill
ing an alfalfa sod is a mans job at
not succeed the first time trying.
Alfalfa yields three cuttings in a
year, two good ones and one light
one, but ranchers can not see where
they make any money producing alfal-
ia to sell at IS per ton or loss.
Red clover grows we'll in southern
Idaho, makes one big crop of hay
and sure crop OF seed, which is
worth more per acre than three crops
OF alfalfa. Alfalfa seed growing is
profitable, but SO far no one knows
what to do to get alfalfa to produce
seed. Treatment that is successful
one year fails another or fails per-
haps the same year ON a nearby
ranch. The soil of southern Idaho
is very deficient in nitrogen, while
it has an abundance of lime, potas.
and phosphorus. Thus it is very
necessary to get nitrogen into the
soil after one or two crops have been
produced on raw land. Clover sup
plies this as abundantly as alfalfa,
is easy to pillow up and easy to kill
after it is plowed. 1t dies after the
second year and leaves the soil in
shape to produce immense crops.
have heard dozens of ranchers say
within the last two months that they
were going to grow clover instead of
alfalfa after this.-Miller Purvis.

GOVERNOR WILL
ASK FOR TEST OF
NEW STATE LAW
Construction of Act Prohibiting the
issuing Of Deficiency Warrants De-
sired by Executive.

The attorney general of this state
wiz be requested to place a construc-
ton on the emergency provision found
In the law passed by the last legisla-
ture making it an offense to authorize
or to issue deficiency warrants in pay
cent Tor state expenses, by Governor
Hatnes, according to the plans the
governor is now making in order
give as much relief as possible to the
crowded condition OF the Blackfooi
asylum, condition said to be partly
responsible for the terrible tragedy
that took place there last week when
Peter Bradovitch killed five inmates
with the top of table because IL
said they bothered him.
The board OF trustees of the institu
ton urged that something be done to-
ward enlarGing the quarters of tn
asylum in order to give more roon
for the proper care and protection of
the inmates. In its recommendation
to the governor the board set forth
that the biennial appropriation for the
asylum is not sufficient to make it
possible to erect the needed buildings
and its members declared they be-
loved that the people and taxpayers
OF the state would justify any action
toward creating deficiency if neces-
sary in order to give relief
The last legislature passed a law
making it a serious matter to author
lie the issuance of deficiency war
rants. The lawmaking body wished to
strike at what had commonly been
referred to as an "evil' in the pc
sistent issuing Of these warrants when
state departments or institutions ex.
hausted their appropriations before the
biennial period was over and then
proceeded to issue warrants known as
deficiency warrants, which the respec-
tive legislatures have always had t,
authorize paid
The new law, however, carries on
emergency provision which may give
relief to the present condition as ex-
lists at the Blackfoot asylum It is
said to make provision for the auth
orization of the expenditure Of money
for state institutions where an emer-
gcncy exists, the idea of the mea-
sure being, it is said, to make it pos
sible for the state to meet emergen-
cies and at the same time only per-
NIT deficiencies when there is an
omergency.-Capital News
