SEEDING ALFALFA IN THE FALL.

SEEDING ALFALFA IN THE FALL.
A number of successful fields of al
falfa have been seeded in the fall Mr.
Frank Sherwin, of Brookings, seeded
alfalfa into small field of corn after
the last cultivation in August and oh
tained good stand which wintered
well. He left the stalks on the field to
catch snow and protect the alfalfa This
seems to be very satisfactory method.
Another plan for seeding in the fall
is to mix the alfalfa with winter wheat
or rye, using 10 pounds of alfalfa seed to
about IS pounds of wheat or rye and
sow with a one-horse drill, between the
corn rows, leaving the stalks for winter
protection. In some cases it may be
possible to seed the alfalfa successfully
on fall pIowed land or summer fallow,
but it is likely that this would winter
kill, because it would not be sufficiently
protected during the winter
At the Highmore Substation in 1911
ObN VI tiIS hNiuS vi ulldlid eCtutu III may
was destroyed by wind This was re-
seeded about the middle of July and
made growth of about six inches in
height before cold weather came. All of
this killed out during the winter.
From the foregoing experiences and
others we conclude that the best plan is
to seed into standing corn stalks or into
double-disced grain stubble, if there is
ample moisture, rather than on bare fall
blowing or summer fallow.
The above suggestions are given in
answer to number Of inquiries which
have been received by the Agronomv
Department of the state College regard
ing seeding alfalfa in the fall. By Man
ley Champlin, Agronomy Department,

william Il Wilson, Secretary OF Labor,
speaking In the Washington Irving High
School last night. bitterly attacked what
he termed the interests conducting a
national campaign against the seamen's
law and eulogized the statute in aues-
ton as the greatest example OF modern
labor legislation ever enacted in the
United States.
There Is an agitation from one end
or the country to the other against the
seamen's law because the shipping in
terests hin they can make more profts

clared. They contend that the law Is
sweeping the American merchant marine
from the seas. What an absurdity.
There has been very little American mer-
chant marine for some time. The sea-
mems act changes that condition by
enabling the American ship owner 70
operate at no greater cost than his for
eign competitors by making the foreign
owner pay as high wages as the Amen.

Since the law went into effect the
