ALFALFA is A HARDY PLANT
Pure Seed-All Factors In Get
ting a Stand Of Alfalfa.
BY =. ]. DICKSON, Fordvllle. N. o

BY r. J. DICKSON, Fordvllle, N. o.
I do not think there is any doubt
regarding the growing Of alfalfa with
us. providing there is a chance for
the water to run of in a short time.
as standing water will kill 1t. | be-
lieve that good blowing. along with
plenty Of manure, and a little extra
work on the ground before seeding, Is
about all that is essential to get a
start In alfalfa. that is. with good
seed.
There seem to be a notion that al
falfa ought to be mostly in bloom be-
fore II Is time to cut. Now, I find
that il you let the little shoots get
much OF a start before cutting. It win
set the alfalfa back. while II cut as
soon as those shoots start, il seems
to grow faster than ever. The patch l
have Is on the poorest land on the
farm. and | have been seeing how
much grief 1t would stand; now at
four years II 10 better and stronger

eWEET CLOVER
Once Considered Weed-But Now
Valuable Plant-Good Soil Build
er-White Variety Best.

BY J.. q. HANEX, Grand Forks, NJ. D.
clover that are gaining favor as hay
and pasture crops, the white and the
yellow Powered. These plants are
closely related to alfalfa, but they are
biennials, that Is, q single plant lives
only two years. However. the sweet
clovers are such persistent seed pro-
ducers. the seed of such high vitality,
and the young plants SO vigorous, that
when once established, 1t appears to
live from year to year. The ordinary
methods Of moving 1t at random along
the roadsides or on abandoned oil UNI
occupied lots or fields, has little ap-
parent effect.
Sweet clover is considered by most
farmers as a bad weed. 1t, however,
has long had friends who have learn
ed Its value, and recently. especially
in the drier sections and on poor soil,
1t is gaining much favor as a pasture
and hay crop. The fact that 1t has a
rather repulsive odor and taste, and
that stock do not eat ii to any great
extent are the faults usually placed
against IT. However when stock are
confined to sweet clover pasture, they
soon learn to like II and fatten very
rapidly, and there seems to be no
trouble from animal bloating on
clover as there often is with alfalfa.
In Colorado, along the railroads, there
are many plants OF sweet clover that
have been eaten off by range cattle.
In feeding vague. alfalfa and sweet
clover are very nearly equal.
The white sweet clover seems TO
give best satisfaction for both hay
and pasture. For hay, the plants must
be cut early-about the time the first
blooms appear. At this time the re-
pulsive odor and taste are not S no.
ticeable as at later stages of growth.
Early cutting is best. because a sec
ond growth will come Immediately
and produce a second cutting or a
seed crop. The yield OF hay is re-
ported to BIO equal TO or greater than
alfalfa. The handling OF a seed crop
is somewhat more difficult than alfal-
IA, as 1t skaters very badly. It is also
essential that sweet clover be cut
high-about four inches--the first
time or there is danger of killing
many OF the plants.
The requirements of sweet clover
as to preparation of seed bed, method
of seeding, amount of seed per acre,
etc, are practically the same as for al
falfa. 1t is not probable that sweet
clover will be found better than al.
falfa, where the latter can be grown
successfully, but in the drier sections
or on land that does not grow alfalfa
readily, 1t certainly is worth while
making a trial OF sweet clover. The
agricultural papers lately have pub
lished many instances of successful
trials of sweet clover. For lack of
space these are not reproduced here.

Democratic factious at War

BY United Press Petitions bear,
ing the motto, Loyalty to Wilson;
honor in politics; faithfulness to
friends and party" are being cir
culated generally throughout the
state by democrats to have II. +
Hitchcock of Mitchell placed in NOM
nation for member OF the national
democratic committee to succeed
Thomas Taubman of Planklnton, and
X. h. Danna Of Armour, nominated
for state chair man to succeed James
Coffey Of Aberdeen the incumbent.
The petitions are being circulated
following a conference of democrats
at Elk Point recently. which ex-
pressed itself as opposed to the
Johnson Coffey methods in this state
and therefore decided to place in
nomination new mar for state chair
man against DR.. Rock of Aberdeen.
Taubman, it is understood will be
appointed United States marshal
and would then become ineligible to
serve as a national committeeman.
Those in charge of the move as.
sert that it is not a movement of the
Lyons, Wickham and Clark faction
of the party but that it is a move
ment of the Bryan-W Wilson demo-
Gratis who are opposed to the man
ner in which +. s Johnson and
James Coffey are conducting the
affairs of the democratic party in
South Dakota.
