RUSSIAN kNApwEED MIXED WITH ALFALFA.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
1t is desirable that farmers know the
characteristics and habits of the nine
f,lirly distinctive commercial strains of
alfalfa, according to Farmers Bulletin
757 of the U. S.,Department of Agricul-
ture, in order that adaptation of the
strains to climatic conditions can be
determined to best advantage
Common alfalfa" says the bulletin
is term that is used to include all of
the alfalfas that are not clearly of
hybrid origin or that do not have dis
tinct and uniform varietal character
isticS, such as the Peruvian and Arab
an varieties. Numerous strains are
coming to be recognized in the com-
mon" group. They are often desig-
mated by the geographic name of the
locality where grown, as Kansas
grown alfalfa, Montana grown alfalfa,
and many others, or by some term de-
scriptive of the conditions under
which the crop has developed, such as
dry-land alfalfa, irrigated alfalfa, and
nonirrigated alfalfa.
Strains developed in the South usu-
ally produce larger yields than those
developed in the northern states, but
they are less hardy. The ''dry-land"
alfalfa seed offered on the market has
so far failed to show any noticeable SUI
periority in ability to resist drought
over that grown with an abundance of
moisture.
The commercial Turkestan alfalfa
has Deen tested quite thoroughly in all
parts If this country and in nearly
every case has proved inferior to Amer
ican-grtwn strains.
The leading commercial strains of
variegated alfalfa are the Grimm, the
Baltic, the Canadian variegated, and
sand lucern. With the exception of

wheat was reduced to coarse meal.
Crude as this method was, it contained
the germ of the modern flour mill.

All, they bend nearer
Sweet lips, this way.
