irrigated land, it abideth forever.
Alfalfa is not transient grass, its
roots may not take hold on the CEN
ter of specific gravity, but they do
have keener sense for hidden water
than the magic water finding hazel
rod of my boyhood.
Recently. when telling of an old
Colorado pioneer. who had followed
an alfalfa tap root ninety feet, Judge
Bell remarked that he knew it to
be true, and that in his section the
alfalfa grew so high that it BIOS
somed above the clouds, and the bees

wives and blesses where other varie-
ties perish. As the bluegrass has
made Kentucky famous. so will alfalfa
become the pride and glory, as it will
be the profit and redemption of our
western arid empire. Every year the
possibilitions OF alfalfa are being
widened. American scientists arc
studying the plant varieties being
brought from every arid land by Sc
lection and mixing. new qualities are
being developed. new varieties
grown. In connection the soil and
:ondition of every section are being
studied. The day will come when
there will be no CRASHES land in our
country. any more than there is

can place its members upon an acre
of land with the plow. the hoe and
the water to cultivate it, converts will
come and all the denuciation of Pro-
testantism. all the anatheme of Cath
olicism or even the senate and courts
of the United States cannot destroy
it. They were first to drive out the
myth of the American desert, and
make it mirage on the map of the
west. They were the first to plant
alfalfa and apples and peaches in arid
America and today our minds turn
to these irrigation pioneers when we
consider the Gunnison tunnel and the
other government projects that are
Transforming the west. In days to

Careful Study Given
Growing of Product

Or. w. E. Taylor, director of soil
culture department of Deere & Co.,
has recently issued a bulletin on
Alfalfa" He deals with every item
there is to the raising of this crop
and much of it can be directly ap-
piled to the crop as grown in this
state. He says:
With view of encouraging farm
crs east of the Missouri river to grow
alfalfa. am prompted to offer few
suggestions based upon experience
which. is strictly observed, will pre-
vent many failures.
The value Of alfalfa as stock feed
and soil improver long since passed
the experimental stage. For many
years it has been successfully and
profitably grown throughout the west,
and for number of years it has
been produced quite successfully. but
not generally, on Mississippi valley
farms and to limited extent east
and south.
Alfalfa is a legume. and, like other
legumes, such as clover. COW peas, soy
beans, vetch etc. it has power to
take nitrogen from the air and fix j,
in the soil. Alfalfa roots are very
abundant and grow very deep. mall
ing the plant very drouth-resisting
Owing to the large quantity of or
ganic matter in the roots. the soil is
greatly improved physically and dor
mant plant food elements are made
available which are subsequently util-
lied by succeeding crops, as is evi-
denced when alfalfa is grown in ro-
tation with other crops.
When the roots decay they are
finally resolved into humus, sub
stance lacking in subsoil and very apt
to be deficient in the scedbed. Alfalfa
roots loosen compact soil. facilitate
the absorption of water and the ciren-
lation of air through the soil, and arc
very beneficial in binding and giving
consistency to loose soils. In short,
there is no crop grown on the farm
which will so effectually restore
worn-out land to a high state of fer
tility SO rapidly as will alfalfa.
Alfalfa grows rapidly. producing
from two to six cuttings. depending
upon the latitude. water supply and
character of the soil.
A fair annoual yield in the middle
west is three and onc-half to five
tons per acre.
A good stand will produce abunL-
antly for many years if conditions at.
right. 1t is not advisable. however.
to permit the plant to continue for
more than five years before plo~-
ing under and seeding the land to
other crops. -
Alfalfa is a splendid stock fecd-in
fact. it is superior to any Of the L.
gumes. 1t is rich in protein, one
pound Of hay being equal to the sarns
weight of wheat bran. When fed
with corn, it makes an ideal ration
for all kinds OF livestock.

Apples and Alfalfa
Make State Famous

The following address was delivered
by former Governor Alva Adams at
the National F arm Congress in Chi
cago in 1909. 1t is produced here be-
cause it deals withtwo of Crowley
county's great industries. 1t should
be placed in your library of farm
books and pamphlets and if the read
ers have no scrap books this would
be an incentive to start one, with
this article as its first contribution.
This address deals with rural life
and in his introductory Governor
Adams said that he took the subject
as text from which to preach a
sermon on rural life. For Back to
the Land" he said means independ-
ence- and self respect for the individ-
ual and safety to the nation:
Every idle, jobless man that shuffles
along city street becomes menanee
to free government and liability to
the community. Every home builder,
every man who by honest toll, pro-
vides for his family, is a positive as
set, true asher in the fabric of the
republic, for of such Is the kingdom
of liberty. To those who seek
new home-who would have their in
dustry guarantee for independence,
would make bright and fair the
road that leads to Colorado. A land
over which bends the bluest, clearest
sky under which the flag of our coun-
try floats. There the air is sweetest.
the sun is brightest. There men can
live longer. have fewer annoyances
and more natural delights. 1t is
mans playground and Gods hospital
for His Afflicted children. 1t is to
be the seat of homes, schools, pros

are not in one basket, but in many
So diversified are her assets that the
bent of every honest, industrious man
can be gratified. 1t is the state of
destiny-the land of opportunity.
In some eastern states there are
more people than land. In Colorado
there is more land than people. A
sensible migration will help both.
will keep to the agricultural posi-
bilities and not parade the other
manifold resources of Colorado. The
certain and oppulent production of
her irrigated fields and orchards
should be attractive to those who
have played the hazard Of alternate

ideal method of agriculture
