KEEPING "CHEAT" OUT
OF ALFALFA FIELDS
BY Lee M. Lampson. County Agriculturist

Growing fall grain in the alfalfa
to ill up the space between the
plants is the best solution thus far
found for the problem of the so.
called cheat" in the alfalfa field.
1t is found from a careful study OF
methods employed on a great many
farms in Benton county to get rid of
OF the cheat, that narrowing is not
a satisfactory solution. With the
exception Of a very few cases, har-
rowing two or three times has not
kept the cheat out. And harrow
ing four or five times adds a great
cost to the hay crop without any
increase in returns. Another method
is to cut the first crop of alfalfa be-
fore the cheat is ripe, so it will not
go to seed. This, of course, means
considerable sacrifice on the first
crop, because of cutting it before it
has commenced to mature. Fur
thermore, it does not prevent the
spread of cheat from seed which
blows in from roads, from the open
land around and that which comes
in the water. The cheat seed which
comes from these three sources is
enough to seriously harm the alfalfa
field in most places.
1t is claimed with the exception
OF a few places that narrowing or
cutting are not satisfactory solutions
for this problem.
In the few places where the plan
of sowing grain in the alfalfa has
been tried, it has proven very sat-
isfactory. 1t very materially in
creases the tonnage; it fills up the
space between the alfalfa plants so
that thera is no place for the cheat
to get started, and it will keep the
first cutting of alfalfa from lodging
as it does very badly in many places.
The field should be narrowed with
a spring tooth harrow and about
thirty to fifty pounds of winter
wheat to the acre sown, depending
on how thick stand of alfalfa you
have. This seeding should be done
early enough in the fall so the grain
will get well rooted and a reasonably
good growth before cold weather.
While this plan has not yet been
tried out on a large enough scale to
warrant positive conclusions, it is
believed that it is an entirely salts
factory solution for the problem.

The camel responded with a cough
and quickened gait.
Presently George became aware OF
singular fact: that he could see out
or one eye better than the other;
and that the semi-useless orb shot out
| little stars with every beat OF his
heart. One Of his ears, too, began to
throb and burn. He felt OF It. II was
less like an ear than a mushroom. II
had been a rafting good mix-up, any
. how; and he accepted the knowledge
rather proudly that the George Perci-

tered the English-Bar sprucely and
had made his exit In kind OF negli-
gible attire, had left behind one char
acter and brought away another. New

tame tiger, as It were, had had his

Dawn, dawn; II only the horizon
would brighten UP little SO that he
could get his bearings. BY now they
were at least fifteen or twenty miles
from Cairo; but In what direction?
Hour after hour went by; over thfs
huge grey roll OF sand, down into that
cup-like valley; soundless save when
the camels protested or his stirrup
clinked against buckle; all with the
somber aspect OF a scene from Dante.
Several black spots, moving in circles
far above, once attracted George; and
he knew them to be kites, which will
follow a caravan into the desert even
as gull will follow a ship out to sea.
Later, a torpid indifference took DOS
session OF him, and the sense OF pain
grew less under the encroaching
numbness.
And when at last the splendor OF
the dawn upon the desert flashed like
a sword-blade along the sky In the
east, grew and widened, George com
pretended one thing clearly, that they
were in the Arabian desert, out OF the
main travelled paths, in the middle OF
