TurkaStan Alfalfa
 Seed Found Inferior

to avoid the use or cOmmerclal
 Turkestan seed is contained in
 Department Bulletin No. 138, of
 the U. s. Department of Agri-
 culture, which is shortly to be
 issued under the title "Commer-
 ciaI Turkestan Alfalfa Seed".
 Specialists of the Department
 have been Investigating the
 comparative merits of different
 kinds of alfalfa seeds and have
 reached the conclusion that there IS nothing to recommend the Turkestan variety for general use in thls country. It is. they say, particularly unsulted to the humid climate of the East which. as a matter of fact, uses most of the Turkestan seed imported in- to this country. This seed is al- so not sufficiently hardy to war rant it's general use in the upper Mississippi Valley, where hardi- ness is an important factor. The investigators, however, are care ful to distinguish between com mercial Turkestan alfalfa and special strains of hardy alfalfas that have developed from cer- tain introductions of seed from Turkestan. Valuable varieties of alfalfas unquestionably exist in central Asia. but these are at present only fitted for use in ex- perimental work Tn breeding.
 At the present time, approx1- mately one-fifth of the alfalfa seed used in the United States is imported. Of th1s quantity practically all---95 percent in the last twelve months---comes from Russian Turkestan. In the Eu- ropean market, commercial Tur- kestan is the cheapest seed available: in this country it's wholesale price is less than that of domestic seed. In spite of this fact, however, a mistaken belief in it's superior qualities has resulted in raising it's retail price to a point frequently above that of domestic seed. No such preference is shown in the alfalfa growing regions of Flu rope. There French seed is con- monly considered the best, with Italian ranking next. and Tur- kestan last. Under these cir cumstances. very little French and Italian seed finds it's way to the United States, the bulk of the importations being, as already stated, the cheap com mercial Turkestan.
 Fortunately, growers who wish to avoid this variety can readily identify it by the pre- sence of Russian knapweed seeds. These seeds have not been found anywhere except in commercial Turkestan seed, and here they are practically always present. Russian knapweed is in some ways similar to quack grass. Johnson grass and Cana da thistle, spreading both by seeds and underground root stocks. The seeds are slightly larger than those of alfalfa and cannot all be removed by any practicable method of machine cleaning. Thelr chalkly white color makes them especially con- spicuous, and their symmetrical form-slightly wedge shaped dis tingushes them from the notched seed of other species often found | in varieties of alfalfa from other sections. The knapweed seeds, however, are not usually found | in large quantities and any lot of alfalfa should. therefore, be ex- amined in bulk. The examina- tion of small samples is Hot suf- ficient to show whether the comes from Turkestan or

$4,000 for Roads.
While Henderson county at the first of the
year had approximately $4,000 to spend IN
road building and now has 125 men inprov-

first important move for better roads when

mile of graded road and its thoroughfares
were about sixteen feet wide, mostly uneyen,
rough and muddy trails. Mr.. Patton dill
gently pushed the work for about three
years, after which George W Justice sue
eeeded him. Road building continued and
about year ago Mr.. Patton resumed the
road work Until the first of the year a total
of $4,000 had been spent IN road construc-
ton, bridges, etc.
