Leveling land for alfalfa has al +
ways been one of the biggest eX- 7
penses of alfalfa planting, says the
Orchard and Farm. At the same ,
time poor job of leveling is one of
the worst things there is in spelling
some parts of the checks, giving too
little water to other parts and letting
only portion grow as alfalfa should
grow.
On the Stanford Vina ranch in
! California, alfalfa is now being |
grown on land that has not been lev
eled and is not checked. The cost OF |
leveling is saved and the cost of the
checking At the same time the fields
are far beyond the average in uni
formity of growth and in general ap-
pearance In fact the alfalfa is in
quite perfect condition all over the
field and in addition there is not the
waste of land on account of the
checks that exist on all alfalfa fields

certainly do show on the alfalfa fields
irrigated in this way. 1t is not only
a question of small expense In fixing
the land for irrigation and planting,
but of very satisfactory irrigation

On the first irrigation, when there
is little but the bare land, there is
difficulty in getting the water on ev-

stimulation may threaten us, condi-
tion that is somewhat symptomatic
of the American temperament. The
four months record, however. can be
summarized thus: While European
countries have been mobilizing their
armies and calling to the field of bat
tie their reserve soldiers. America
has mobilized its credit and begun to
send forward to the market place its
vast reserves of food-stuffs and min
eral products.
To increase industrial prosperity
this country needs to export finished
rather than crude products and to
import raw materials rather than
manufacturers. Betterment OF in

miles an hour, completing the first
lap of the run. The remainder will
be run tomorrow.
The test is not for speed but to
learn the lasting qualities of the fuel
and whether the chemicals will be
harmful to engines.
This test is being made with
view of manufacturing the fuel at
once if it is proved satisfactory.
Tomorrow after the second days
run the engine of the car will be TAX
en- apart to learn if there are any in
furious effects from the chemicals.
The test today was highly satisfac-

The new fuel, which consists OF
nine-tenths rain water mixed with q
chemical solution is said to cost les:

The fuel was mixed at the pits un
