BETTER FARMING
Campaign of Education for Farmers
Alfalfa Week in March

Supplementing the better farming
seed sown in the Pacific northwest
last fall by the Holden alfalfa cam
paign, follow-up campaign has been
launched in Washington, Idaho and
Oregon by the Holden Improvement
committee
The formal launching of the follow
up campaign in the interest of more
alfalfa, corn, live stock and diversified
farming will revolve around
alfalfa week in all schools of the three
states. The week beginning March 8
has been set aside for this purpose,
and the state superintendent of public
instruction-Mrs. Josephine C. Pres
ton of Washington, Miss Grace M.
Shepherd of Idaho and ]. A. Chur-
chill of Oregon have taken charge
of the part to be played by the schools.
During that week" states Secre-
tary Farr of the Holden Improvement
committe, "the pupils in city and coun-
try schools will find their work CEN
tering around corn and alfalfa. The
language work, oral and written
story work and quite largely the num-
Der work will deal largely with these
great crops.
eve are sending out 5000 rag doll
seed corn testers which will at once
enable the children to make accurate
germ selection of seed and interest
the members of their families as well.
With the aid of these we hope to have
the children take part in the selec-
ton of proper seed for their fathers
farms. In addition, we shall distri-
butte through the schools two thor
oughly instructive pamphlets entitled
Studies in Alalfa' and Alfalfa on
Every Farm.
The state grazges and farmers
unions are cooperating with the COM
mittee and state superintendent to
make alfalfa week successful. Pro-
baby on Friday night, March 15,
these organizations will conduct al
falfa rallies in schools in every part
Of the three states.
