farmers GOING !.
~ ~~reyrwa- r.. IA

.tf..F ' o..
There has been considerable inter
est aroused over the state in the bust.
ness of alfalfa raising and, since l;
has been demonstrated that it can be
successfully done, many farmers have
gone into it. That the growth has
been an exceptionally healthy one is
shown by the report that has jus:
been compiled by Commissioner of
Agriculture and Labor W. C. Gill
breath. The report for 1911 showed
that there were 4,744 IL acres sown
and the same report for 1912 shows
an increase to 1923 -4 acres. In
every county where there has been a
start made it has become a favorite
crop and the farmers who have gone
in for it have become enthusiasts.
