 Below is a copy of one story written by Allison Gould. Fourth Grade, from the above outline.
 "The Story of an Alfalfa Plant"
 "The alfalfa plant grew beside a l small ditch, where the water was run ming about every other day, I think it was about six months old. The roots | were between four and five inches long. It would be about one and one half foot high in six months more If it not eaten off too many times in six months one hundred plants like that would make pasture for two or three calves. This one plant would have time to produce seeds for one hundred plants
 The plant had very good moisture tc | grow in, not what you would call sandy loam but about one half sandy loan and half mud where it could be damr all the time. When I pulled the roots out ef the ground, there was moisture about them.
 There was quite a little sunlight where it grew, it had shade up to about half past ten in the morning, so there the plant had both sunlight and shade which does not hurt it any. It would be better for it to have sunlight thar shade because the sunlight keeps i warm during summer and winter.
 The soil was warm all day long. Al falfa grows in sandy loam or adobe pretty well.
 The neighbors that it has are mostl! grass and wheat, barley, another i
 Bermuda grass The Bermuda gras
 will spread and crowd the alfalfa ou if you should let the Bermuda gras
 grow, it would kill the alfalfa.
 The veins in the leaf were paralle veins.
 The plants roots spread out just lik
 the stems except two big ones that g
 straight down.
 When the plant gets big enough tn
 roots will be four or five feet long an' they may grow about eight feet long
 The color of the alfalfa plant i green, sometimes the leaves get partl! yellow in winter. When the alfalfa i : green a COW must not eat too mucl . of it and then drink water or it vii bloat the COW, it will not bloat horse . The alfalfa will live for forty-fiv years if it is taken care of, finally tn
 alfalfa will be eaten off or discked ul
 or not get water and die.' , The chart class has finished tn
