Death of Mrs. Dettie Page.

Through Mrs. Mary A. Gum we
are in receipt of the sad news of the
death of her sister, Mrs. Dettie Page
which occurred on January 20, al
Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, and
was caused by cancer of the stom-
ach. Mrs. Page was once a resident
of Parowan, being born and reared to
womanhood in this place. She was
the daughter of Daniel and Mary Ann
Richey Page, and was 81 years of age
at the time of her death.
For many years she, with her hus-
band, j. d. Page, lived in Mt. Pleas
ant, Utah, moving to Canada fifteen
years ago. She was the devoted
mother of nine children, eight OF
whom survive her. Through her gen
tleness and kindness of disposition
and ready response to the call of need
she had endeared herself to host OF
friends, who in turn have rendered
every assistance possible to those
called to mourn the loss of wife and
mother.
She also leaves two sisters, Mrs
Mary A. Gum of Parowan and Mrs
Lettie Lowe of Ogden, also two
brothers, Robert R. and Daniel R
Page.

ROOT SYSTEM WITH BACTERIA tNITRooEN)

members reporting grew total of
1924 acres. or an average Of 90 acres
each.
For instance, twenty years ago al
falfa was practically stranger in
Wisconsin, but its introduction and
dissemination have gone on at such a
rapid pace that 1t seems safe to esti-
mate that there are at least $4,000
acres now grown In the state.
Ex-Governor Hoard Of Wisconsin
was the first man In his state to recog-
nize the great Importance of alfalfa as
a forage plant, and he has grown al
falfa and disseminated knowledge re-
garding 1t continuously for the past
twenty years. 1t Is safe to say that
Mr.. Hoard has grown more alfalfa
than any other man in the state.
Alfalfa is noted for its high feeding
value and the great fondness farm ami
mails have for 1t. 1t belongs to the
legume family, or leguminosae, to
which the common red clover belongs.
Alfalfa through its large root growth
exerts beneficial effect upon the soil
on which 1t grows and through Its
power to feed on the soil elements and
secure moisture at great depth below
the surface is able to stand severe
droughts and maintain itself upon the
soil for many years without the neces-
sity of reseeding.
When II Is desired to pillow an alfalfa
field the strong root growth Of the al
falfa will severely interfere with the
blowing unless the plowshare Is kept
sharp.
Except where alfalfa has become
thoroughly established upon the farm,
no attempt has been made to encour-
age q regular rotation with other crops.
On account of the special care given
to the selection and proper fitting of
the field for alfalfa it has seemed ad-
visable to leave the alfalfa on the same
field as long as It produced well.
AS soon as conditions are unfavore-
BILE and the field becomes patchy and
crowded with June grass and white
clover II is best to cut the alfalfa late
In the season and then plow. The field
the following season should be put into
corn or some other cultivated crop and
intensive cultivation practiced to sub
due weeds. The year following the In
tensive cultivation the field can be
sown to alfalfa to advantage.
The weight OF green forage obtained
per acre from alfalfa for the season is
approximately double that OF clover
three times the weight OF timothy and
five times the weight of bronze grass
The proportions for hay are nearly as
great In favor OF alfalfa as In the
case Of green substance.
Alfalfa yields three times as much
total protein per acre as clover. nine
times as much protein as timothy and
twelve times as much protein as bronze
| grass.
At $40 a ton for the hay good alfalfa
will yield forage valued at 500 an acre
Land that will grow alfalfa is readily
worth 5000 an acre AS alfalfa is 6
perennial plant. II established under
the proper environments. II will con
tinue to grow and give three or -four
cuttings year for many years.
The seed is somewhat like red clover

ALFALFA AS A FOR
AGE PLANT.
BY r A. MOORE of the University OF
Wisconsin Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station.

A LFALFA can truly be called the
~ queen OF forage plants. No
IA other forage combines so mahy
essentials OF merit as alfalfa.
No other plant has carried with 1t
more qualification to the dairy farmer
nor fills such long felt want. No
forage plant is more readily relished
by farm animals or exercises a more
beneficial effect upon the soil
To determine how extensively al
falfa was grown by the Wisconsin
Experiment association requests were
sent to 500 to report on the acreage
grown by them in 1911. A summary
of 240 reports received shows that the
