 RECEIVE AWARDS TODAY
Expert Fowl Judges to Appraise Boys Stock at ~" This
 Morning

Six weeks ago, under the auspices of the Sturges Hay and Grain com pany, the Y. M. c. A. started a chicken raising contest among the junior boys. Today the said chickens having been successfully lifted" the required distance, judges will look them over and discover which of the boys has performed the operation in the best and most scientific way.
 Nine o'clock this morning will be the time for judging the fowls and awarding the long list of prizes. Consequently at about eight there will be the awfullest flock of young sters with their pens of middle aged birds that ever assembled at the Y. M c. A. building.
 TWenty-one boys are in the con- test To each of them was issued a brood of five just-hatched White Leghorn chicks together with instruc- tions to care for them for six weeks and then get a nice prize. If the supply of chickens had been five times as large, all would have been distributed, for there were more boys than chickens.
 H. W. Clark, Dr. E. Munson and A. F. Jones are the judges who will decide on the merits of the exhibits.
 The prizes will be awarded as fol- lows:
 For the finest pair of chickens, a years membership in the Y. M c. A
 For the finest rooster (not includ- ed in the finest pair) a six months membership in Y M. C. A.
 For the finest bullet (not included I in the finest pair) a three months membership in the Y. M. C. A.
 For the finest flock of chickens raised the Sturges Hay and. Grain company will give cash prize ol one dollar.

close to the surface, for while at
least, during the early summer. The
land was ploWed and narrowed and
rubbed down three times, making five
operations in all. The sveu was drilled

pose, which planted a Swath ten feet
wide The machine was set at the

strip with seed diluted with sand at
the rate Of two measures OF sand TO
one Of seed. The planting was done
on the 10th and nth Of April, as soon
after rain as we could get the land
narrowed. Three or four days after
the last was planted a thunder shower
came up, followed Immediately by
hard north wind that put stiff crust
on the ground. The seed was planted
on an average of one and half inches
deep, and the rain was not heavy
enough to wet down to the seed. The
seed sprOuted well and on the land
planted the first day good stand was
secured, but only partial stand on
that planted the second day. Had no
rain followed planting a good stand
would have been secured, for nearly
all the seed sprouted and curled up
under the crust.
The strip of land planted with two
measures OF sand to one Of seed was
planted the second day and produced
perfect stand, but il happened to be
on lanu that gave perfect stand with
pure seed and only showed that six
pounds Of seed gave Just as sufficient
stand as 16 pounds.
The year following another lot was

of mustard, poppies and burr clover
was plOwed under and rolled down
with flexible iron ring roller. This
blowing was eight to nine inches deep.
The corn was cultivated during the
summer and pastured in the fall. The
following March the ,drld was plowed
smoothed with a Ieveler, narrowed and
leveled again and then rolled. Every
morning after this, moist soil would
show over nearly the whole lot. The

One point about the July sowing
mentioned above. The seed was soaked
in water during all Of the night before
it was sOwn, sufficient water being
used to cover the seed after having
soaked ten hours. We had prepared
some dry, clean sand to take up the
surplus water from the seed so II
would not stick to the drill. This we
did by sitting sand through a sieve
with a mesh small enough not to allow
alfalfa seed to pass through. After

THE ART OF PLANTING
ALFALFA FOR BEST RESULTS

j. w. Mills in California CutiyatOr
Improper preparation Of the soil has
caused more poor stands and more fail
ures in starting alfalfa than any other
element. No gardener would think OF
pianIlnS onion. cabbage or carrot seed
On land that had been given no more
preparation than perhaps 80 per cent
or the land prepared for planting al
talfa. 1t is good policy to plant 20 to
80 pounds OF seed per acre SO as to
allow for at least 12 to 20 pounds to
be lost. due to improper preparation
OF the soil and unfavOrable weather.
Five plants to the square foot make a
first class stand. Allowing ten seeds
TO produce this, which is allowing for
30 per cent less, it would require less
man 3oo,0oo seeds an acre to produce
a good stand. This, remember, is after
allowing 80 per cent or the seed to fail
Now, there are about 25O,OOO alfalfa
seeds to the pound, consequently if
Two pounds OF seed were planted to
The acre, evenly distributed, and half
OF them grew to be useful plants, a
perfect stand would be secured We
admit that this calculation is about as
theoretical as sitting down and figur-
ing out that as one kernel of wheat
VIII produce 100 kernels, one sack Of
seed under proper conditions would
give 100 sacks in return. Still, the
theoretical statement above relating to
The alfalfa has more rational bearing
on facts than the comparison warrants.
1t has been demonstrated that less than
eight pounds per acre will give a good
stand.
Now. where is the troubIe9 What
becomes of all the seed, granting that
it is pure and Of high vitality? There
are just two elements that control the
season OF planting. Moist bottom land
can be prepared properly with the least
work and will give good stand with
almost any sort Of care provided the
seed falls on fairly smooth ground and
receives moisture enough to SprOut a
month or so before fall frost comes
on after heavy spring frosts are past
II IS common dry upland that takes
the work and care to secure a good
stand Of alfalfa, and while it appears
to be difficult task, it is as simple
as securing the desired result on bot
tom land. The only difference is, the
first years alfalfa on the latter will
be heavier, due to the abundant and
ever present moisture and loose soil.
The way to make the task of securing
the good stand on dry upland as easy
as on the bottom land is to secure
~ It the same moisture and tilth.
If what we designate as dry upland is
manipulated so that it will show mOis-
lure on The surface on mornings after
4 Windless night, and the alfalfa seed
is drilled into this soil to a depth of
one-half inch TO an inch and half.
