four thousand sheep which had been
brought there from Oregon. 1t took
us some little time to pass them on

had to get out and divide the flock

The sheep cost all the way from ten

fruit. This valley resembled our own

Then we crossed another range and
into the San Joaquin Valley. This is
also a fruit country. Wheat is also
raised in the San Joaquin on very
large scale. We saw, where they had
threshed, great plies of the grain,
sacked and corded up as high as our

stand of Grimm alfalfa the middle of
June was 1876; of common alfalfa, 100.
These tests indicate already some diff
ference in favor of the Grimm whose
superiority lies in its characteristic
spreading or branching root system as
compared with the usual single tap
root OF the common. Like all hardy
strains its early growth is not as large
or as rapid as that Of the common, but
fits better staying qualities which
have been repeatedly proved have earn
ed for it the name everlasting clover"
given by Wendelin Grimm. who orig
mated the strain The only unfavora-
ble thing about the Grimm seed at
present is its scarcity and high price.
Sixty cents per pound is the usual price
asked
AS 10 the necessity aud value of in
oculation there seems to be little doubt.
In nearly all OF the best plots the eff
feet of inocuiation was very marked.
while only in the poorer ones was no
difference noticeable. incubation may
be accomplished by careful use OF
the commercial cultures. like "farmo-
germ" "nitragin" and others, but In

surest way Is 10 take soil from an al
falfa patch where nodules are found
on tbe roots and SOW five or six bush
els of this broadcast IA you would fer

the evening or on a cloudy day.
Although the effect OF lime alone
was not as marked as that Of inocula-
ton. the best sections OF alfalfa were
always found where the ground had
been both lined and inoculated. The
lime should be applied soon after
blowing at the rate OF one ton per
acre OF burnt lime or two tons per
acre Of agricultural lime" mari or
ground limestone.
The best stands OF alfalfa have been
secured on well drained. stony or
gravelly loan soils with a southern
exposure. Great care must be taken
10 secure well ,pulverized but com
pact seed bed for alfalfa. Plenty OF
stable manure Is the best fertilizer.
