IS HOPEFUL OF ALFAI.FA

Some large and healthy looking
punches of alfalfa in the Board Of
Trade window the past. few days
have attracted notice and Favorable
comment from the passers by.
A Star reporter, stopping into the
Board of Trade room Saturday,
found County Demonstration S. J. Nc
Gully, who was busy figuring on al
falfa and other agricultural possi-
bilities.
Mr.. McCully believes alfalfa is
one of our great coming crops, and
says Marion county soil is particular
" well adapted to raise it. Plenty
of alfalfa means plenty of fat cattle.
which means plenty of money in the
surest sense of the term.
The reason the county hasn't gone
more heavily into alfalfa culture has
been the absence of an incubation
process to acc1imate the plant to our
soil. The government is now fur
nishing this incubation, and during
the past year over thirty farmers
have had demonstration patches,
some of FIVE or six acres, under the
tutelage of Mr.. McCully, who is
greatly encouraged by the result.
Our farmers should bear in mind
what alfalfa has done for some OF
the western states and prepare to
begin its culture as soon as posi-
ble
Jack iMcCully is an incurable op-
timisty Looking at the pouring rain
Ioutside, he said it was mighty fine
for sweet potatoes, cane and fall
gardens. He says sweet potatoes
may not do so very well this year
but the acreage is large. and there
will be plenty of the saccharine tub
Iers.
He also said that the corn cror
was pretty good, all things consider
ed, and there will be lots of hay
i Jack wants to see the day come wher
Marion county will not buy corn
hay nor meat, and believes we are
progressing toward it.
