could be saved by canning? How
many farmers buy canned corn, peas

planted gardens. sold or canned all
the products. They practiced inten-

Alfalfa Seed Production.

There is a general interest in the
question OF alfalfa seed production.
many are attempting to grow the crop,
but with varied success. II is evident
that there is need OF much more In
formation and experience with the crop
to determine the underlying factors
that influence the results.
For n number of years the Erperi-
ment Station has devoted efforts to-
ward the solution OF the alfalfa seed
growing industry. the results Indicate
that seed yields can be Increased by
systematic seed selection. and improv-
ed cultural methods where moisture
can be partly regulated or controlled,
by selecting certain fields, and types
OF handing each individual field. The
experienced alfalfa seed grower soon
realizes that withour present informa-
tion there is very little certainty about
the crop.
One grower In recent letter ex.
pressed the opinion common to most
all growers, who have tried to handle
the crop. He says. THE longer I

The One Crop Of Land.

The fandless man and the manless
land are becoming popular problems
and rightly too. Alone either can do
little: together they can do every
thing. Persons In all walks OF life
are interested In land. Did you ever
stop to think that we are harvesting
our land crop every day? While 1t
may not be very preceptible now. the
supply is gradually diminishing and
innumerable carloads Of immigrants
are arriving In Colorado every day to
settle upon the outlying sections. II
Is only matter OF time when land
values In this country will be as high
as in the agricultural sections OF Eu-
rope. Then well titled acres will be
veritable gold mines. Our population
has already passed the hundred mil.

lion mark and the increase will be
more rapid during the next decade
with the great outpouring that is sure
to come from Europe when the cruel
war is over. To feed and clothe all
these people will require more OF ev.
erything that man consumes
comes out OF the ground, even the
clothes we wear, as the cattle and
sheep are dependent upon what the
soil will produce. Is 1t not sensible
to infer that man will profit more
as a producer on the land than as a
consumer off the land? With our
growing population year anfter year
the demand for the land will keep up
in the same ratio and with gradually
diminishing supply. for we surely are
passing out of the period OF cheap
lands suitable for general agriculture.
This is a condition and not a theroy.
Ten years hence conditions Will have
very materially changed and all land
values will be on higher plane. II
will become a question of supply as
the demand will always continue to
exist. One is limited, the other is un-
limited.
Through the various ports OF entry
about one million foreigners have
haan In
with another. Possibly forty per cent
or more have come from the agricul-
tural sections of Europe and within
year find their way to the farm lands
OF the country. The easterner is push.
ing towards the middle west and the
people from those states are pushing
to all sections OF the Rocky noun
tains. the Pacific coast states and the
northwest With new railway lines
and with efficient transportation, dis
tances between the east and the far
west have been annihilated and con-
ditions are constantly improving.
The hardships and pioneering OF the
early settlers, who have made our
great west, now rest in history. They
are not facts today. and the railway
makes the difference In most cases.
Life in the agricultural districts is
much pleasanter than 1t used to be.
In the last ten years the farmer has
annexed to himself many city com
forts. Everybody seems to realize
that the day of cheap lands Is passing.
Like any other commodity. supply and
demand is regulating the price and as
the supply is becoming lessened val
ues will keep or rising. The wise
man. whether his capital be large or
small. is taking advantage OF II and
