chapter in the long fight that has been
made by postal employees for the
protection of their rights under the
civil service laws.
For number of years the post Of

any postal employee to take his COM

Finally, conditions became 80 unbear.

the gag rule. AT the recent meeting
Of postal employees at Omaha, Mr..
Roper said, among other things. that
"the origin of the Association Of pos.

for resisting the selfiesh aggression Of
employers, and its ideal can not be

Soho Square, London.

Soho is perhaps the most curiously
derived place name in London. Ac-
cording to Samuel Pegge. the an
tiquary, Soho square, which has given
a name to the district. was first called
Monmouth square when the Ill fated
Duke of Monmouth had a house there.
Upon the dukes defeat and execution
in 1856 the square was ordered to be
called Kings square, and a statue of
King Charles IL. was set up in the
middle of it. But the partisans of the
Duke Of Monmouth, wishing to pre-
serve a distant remembrance of their
leader. called it Soho square. from
'Soho!" a hunting cry adopted by the
duke as his watchword at the battle
where he vas taken prisoner.-London

around 10 inches probably 10 inches
would be better. This applies to
growing the alfalfa for hay. AS to
the best way of growing it for seed
we are not as yet quite decided. A
large majority of those who give adj
vice on this subject urge the farmers
to grow it in rows three feet distant
in the areas referred to, even when
growing it for hay. 1t is my con
viction that their advice is not good.
It may be, however, when growing
seed. The wisdom of their advice is
doubted for the following reasons:-
(1) When the alfalfa is grown in rows
IL to Ia inches apart, our experience
has shown that in a majority of in
stances more hay has been obtained
per acre, though in exceedingly dry
years this may not prove true. ~
A better quality of hay has been OBJ
tanned as it does not gather dust in
the raking as in the other case, and
it can be cut more clearly, since none
of the stems lie along on the ground
(3) It is cared for with less labor
The disk or renovator will take care
of it in the m case whereas in the
other the cultivator must be used.
Many are anxious to grow alfalfs
seed. Our suggestion is don't 60 to-
quickly or extensively into this bust
ness. It is one of these lines tina
may be easily %overdone. In wet sea
sons growing alfalfa seed is not
good paying business.

THE BEST METHOD
OF GROWING ALFALFA
BY Prof. ThOs. Shaw


No one method Of growing alfalfa
in the Northwest will prove the best
for every part of the same, owing to
the great difference in the soil and
climatic conditions present in differ
ent areas. There are certain gen.
eral principles, however, that will hold
good practically in all parts of the
Northwest.
Among these principles are the fol-
lowing: ~ Don't sow alfalfa on
new land until two or three crops have
been taken from it. (2) Aim to
SOW it on land that has been deeply
plowed and that has been carefully
summer fallowed the year previous to
sowing the seed, or that has grown a
cultivated crop we'll cared for. (3)
Sow pretty early in the spring if the
ground is clean, but if foul defer
sowing as long al it will be safe to
do this and be sure of a stand, as
this gives time for further cleaning
of the land. az Sow without a
nurse crop where the rainfall is not
more than Is inches in a year, but
where more than that, to SOW a nurse
crop thinly is admissible, more es-
pecially if it is cut for hay. (5) Sow
with a drill and bury as lightly as
the moisture conditions will permit.
(6) If say 10 loads of good farmyard
manure are applied to each acre before
the preparation of the land begins, no
further steps need be taken as a rule
to secure incubation.
Regarding the above there will
probably be no difference of opinion.
Regarding the following, however,
opinions differ somewhat even among
those who are recognized as author
tiles on growing this crop:-First,
with reference to the kind of seed to
sow, second with reference to the
amounts to SOW, and third with re-
ference to the spacing of the rows.
With reference to variety some fav-
or the Grimm, some the Baltic and
some other varieties, with reference
to hardness we have in all u ex-
detrimental work found the common
alfalfa when the seed was grown as
far north as the Dakotas has proved
sufficiently hardy. By sufficiently
hardy l mean that it has winter
killed worth speaking of during the
six years that we have been growing
it in many places in the Northwest,
extending from the border of the Red
River Valley to the Cascade Noun
tains.
With reference to the amounts ia
sow we favor l to IN pounds of seed
per acre, when it is sown in rows !
feet distant, when sown in rows IL to
Ia inches apart we favor sowing not
more than 3 pounds per ace of gooo
seed where the annual rainfall does
not exceed IL inches, not more than
pounds where it does not exceed Il
inches, not more than 5 pounds wher'
it does not exceed 18 inches and no
more than 6 to 8 pounds anywhere il
the absence of irrigation in the North
western states. The old time advic
to sow Is to 26 pounds per acre wa
almost a crime.
With reference to the distance be
tween the rows that will give the hes
results when the rainfall is above l
d inche sand under, say IS, we hav
found IL to IA inches the most suit
able and when the rainfall hover
