Alaska Needs

Secretary Lane's recent assurance of speed in Alaska railroad construction work is decidedly encouraging to Alas kans and friends of Alaska who sense the greatness of the period of develop ment now beginning, says the P.-I.
 The first insistent need of the terri tory is coal, of which it has plenty, but in fields detached from transportation facilities. Secretary Lane voices this need in his annual report aud gives as surance that railroad construction will be directed to this end. The rails are now approaching the Matanuska fields, not far from tide water, and the coming summer will make delivery of coal from this district possible at Anchorage and Seward.
 The call from Fairbanks for rail con- nection with the Nenana coal fields is also to be needed. If the present diff fculty of transporting heavy construc. ton supplies can be obviated, railroad construction south from Fairbanks will be undertaken next summer.
 Secretary Lane also stimulates hope that the entire government railroad from Seward to Fairbanks may be completed at an earlier date than had been expected, possibly by the fall of 1917.
 There is also encouragement in the expressed desire of the secretary of the interior to simplify Alaskan govern meut and to obviate much of the existing red tape in the territory's pub- lie business. What form these i'm provements may take is, of course, conjectural The assurance is that there will be sympathetic co operation on the part of the government to this end, aud if this is fully bestowed it will be a great improvement over existing conditions. Simplihcation is urgent.

Alfalfa Yields and
 Water Requirements

The total consumption of water by alfalfa can be controlled to a consid- erable extent by pasturage or frequent clipping without serious injury to the plants, according to the U. S. Depart nent of Agriculture Bulletin No 228,
 Effect of Frequent Cutting on the Water Requirements of Alfalfa. and Its Bearing on Pasturage-' With 3, limited amount of stored moisture in the ground often the greatest amount of alfalfa can be obtained by allowing the crop to grow when the water requirement. is the lowest, in the fall or spring, and by keeping the leaf surface at minimum during the summer through clipping or pastur- age. The efficacy. of thus conserving the moisture during the periods of drought, has been observed many times.
 Whenever the moisture supply falls short of the amount necessary to pro- duce normal crops throughout the season, summer grazing appears to afford simple and practical means of obtaining a return from alfalfa commensurate with the available moisture, and at the same time re- duces the danger of drought injury When the moisture supply, is adequate for continuous crop production throughout the season, close pastur- age or clipping would result in a marked reduction in the amount of alfalfa. produced, is the opinion ex- pressed in the bulletin.
 When grazing is practiced greater production can be secured by inter mittent grazing; that is, by employ ing several fields which are pastured in rotation. Summer pasturage with alfalfa, is extensively adopted in Aus tralia and the combined system of hay and pasturage has found much favor in New South Wales. It is carried out in the rolling plains country on 1oam or sandy soils where there is no possibility of sub-frrigation
 Tn the management of Australia alfalfa fields it is the practice to grow a crop of hay early in the spring and to pasture the alfalfa, dur ing the remainder of the year. For grazing purposes alfalfa. is considered very valuable because it responds to summer rainfall while the native grasses, being annuals, afford no late pasturage. Tn New South Wales bined system of hay and pasturage on some of the large ranches, and as high as three sheep per acre are car rfed during the summer, autumn and winter months During early Sep tember in Australia, which is the early SprJng season there, the sheep are taken eff and the alfalfa makes a 1uxuriant growth. affording g. cured hay crop of Approximately a ton per acre. Thus the hay is procured l when the weather is cool and the amount of moisture given up by the plant and soil is small. The crop
 being handled in this way makes the
 most efficient use of the water sup ply. Normal rainfall in this region is about 21 inches and is rather uni formly distributed, each month shav- ing more than one inch of rainfall and only two months, June and Octo- Der, which correspond to our Decem-
 Der and April respectively, more than two inches.
 Bulletin No. 22s shows by a large number of small area experiments that the above outlined methods of
 handling alfalfa might prof1tably, in some years. be adopted here in the United States.
