ALFALFA THE
MONEY CROP
A Great Increase in Yield
of This Product in the
Snake River Valley

A large acreage has been planted to
apples in this vicinity within the last
eighteen months. In fact the apple sp
pears to be a fayorite crop in this Sec
ton. Yet while apples, as CONNER
cial proposition has many advocates, it
is also matter of note that alfalfa is
receiving greater attention in this local
ity than heretofore. and by men who
understand the trend offarming thought,
this crop is destined to become the
reliable money-crop of the valley. The
feeding OF alfalfa TO hogs is matter Of
surprise to visitors from the East, as
this forage has always been regarded as
feed for cattle only. In California five
crops OF alfalfa are usually produced
each year, averaging in price not less
than 80 to " per ton. The farmer is
guaranteed this price by the alfalfa
meal mill man before the seed il plant,
ed, and the farmer knows in advance
the minimum price he is to receive. In
that state these mills are to be found in
every locality, and are an encourage
ment to the production Of this crop. |
mills OF this character should be estab
lished here as in California, no doub
the investment would prove profitable
one. The meal commands better pric'
and finds reader market than doet
he raw hay. That it is profitable
business is attested by the large mum
Der of mills in operation throughout
the agricultural districts OF California
The meal is coming into general use il
the coast country, and when combined
with other food stuifs nothing is more
nutritious and palstable to stock.
