bring greater profits than five or
ten acres put into alfalfa, provided the
work is done properly and good
stand is secured.
Alfalfa a Poor Weed Fighter.
Alfalfa, when small, grows slowly
and is not a good weed tighter-that is,
it cannot compete with weeds, and eS-
pecially with crab grass and foxtdil
during the dry weather of July and Au-
gust.
The following methods of seeding al
falfa are among those that have been
most successful in the United States:
Late Summer Seeding.
Probably no method will more GER
tainly assure a good stand than to ma
nure piece of stuhble ground and
fall plow it, or manure the ground in
winter or spring. disk it thoroughly as
soon as possible in the spring (first
part of April), pillow the latter part Of
April, and again disk. 1t should be
summer fallowed, that is, disked or
narrowed. often enough during May,
June, and the first part of July. TO Kill
the weeds and to prevent the ground
from becoming hard. Sometime during
the last part of July or the early part
Of August the ground should BE disked
and narrowed and the seed sown nj
once with a drill, or broadcast and har-
rowed in.
DAT or wheat stubble ground ma
nured and fall plowed is especially
good for alfalfa. Disk the ground the
following spring as soon as dry enough
to work, summer fallow and seed as
described above.
This method has the advantage of
l, Clearing the ground of weeds, the
greatest enemy Of alfalfa.

when the work can be done without
neglecting other crops.

stand Of alfalfa than lime and barn
yard manure.
Well Prepared Seed Bed Essential.
A well prepared, firm, solid seed bed,
plenty Of good barnyard manure and
summer fallow TO kill the weeds, are
most important.
Alfalfa seed may be either drilled, or
sowed, broadcast and narrowed in, or
even disked in, especially if the sur
face Of the ground is dry.
Sow ten 10 twelve pounds of seed
per acre. If evenly distributed this
will give fifty TO sixty seeds for every
square foot, while one thrifty plant to
the square foot is sufficient.
Cut alfalfa before it is in full bloom
or as soon as the young sprouts or
shoots start to grow ar the base CT the
plant. Cut late in the afternoon or
evening.
When alfalfa is left too long the
leaves, which are the most valuable
part of the plant, fall of and the stems
become woody and the yield of the
next crop is greatly reduced.

in stacks much greener than any other
kind of hay. Twenty pounds of salt
sprinkled over each load of hay will
help to prevent heating and also add TO
the palatability of the hay.
Where alfalfa is used for pasture,
care should be taken TO avoid pastur-
| ing it too closely. Don't turn stock on
it too early in the spring.
Make Beginning-Start Now.
I would advise every farmer 10 try
at least a small piece of alfalfa and il
he does not succeed at drst, try again
and keep on trying until he does sue
| coed. 1t is worth the while.

TO RAISE BIG SUM
Anti-TubercuIosis Societies Plan Sale
Of One Million Dollars Worth Of
Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Three hundred million Red Cross
Christmas seals are being printed in
Cincinnati for the annual holiday cam
paign to be conducted under the joint
auspices of the American Red Cross
and the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The campaign for the sale of Red
Cross seals this year will be larger
than ever before Although in 1915
the sale reached the record total Of
100000 seals, bringing in $4,000, il
Il expected that this year at least 100.-
100000 seals or 100000 worth Will
be sold. The sale viii be organized
from Alaska to the Canal Zone and

kept fallowed until the last Of June
when the seed Is sown. This enables
us TO get crop the first year eitl ~
for hog pasture or for hay.
Advantages Of this method are:
1. We do not lose the use Of the land
for one year.
2. There is less damage from injury
by grasshoppers than in the case Of
late summer seeding.
3. II insures a strong root system
and less chance Of winter killing. The
only disadvantage Of this method is
that, If the ground is foul the alfalfa
may be smothered by weeds.
Spring Seeding Without Nurse Crop.
In the West and North it has been
common practice to SOW in the spring
without a nurse crop, keeping the
weeds moved down during the sum
mer to prevent smotherlng the alfalfa.
Ground that is MANFRED and fall
plowed is best for spring seeding. The
next best is corn stalk ground. either
MANFRED the year before or In the
winter or early spring, thoroughly
disked and narrowed and seeded about
the middle Of April.
II is important that the weeds be
moved two or three times during the
summer or they will choke out the al
falfa.
The disadvantages Of spring sowing
are:
/. The loss Of one seasons crop
where no nurse crop is used.
?. The extra labor required to keep
down the weeds.
3. The danger Of neglecting the
weeds and the consequent loss Of a
stand or securing only a "patchy
stand"
I. 1t is the most crowded time of the
year, and we either fail to put in the
alfalfa at all or slight the work.

bed. About the first week in August
seed the alfalfa as described above.
Spring Seeding With Nurse Crop.
A fourth method is to seed in the
spring with light nurse crop of early
oats or barley. In case oats are used,
it is best TO sow not more than bushel
to the acre, cutting them when in
bloom for hay. The advantages of
this method and also of the second and
third methods mentioned above are
that we secure a crop and do not lose
the use of the ground for one year.
Some of our best alfalfa growers have
used the beardless barley as nurse
crop with good results in spring seed
ing.
Good Results From June Seeding.
Some of the best stands Of alfalfa
have been secured by seeding in the
middle or last Of June. For June seed

GET A START WITH ALFALFA

There are few farmers whose profits
would not be increased greatly by rails
ing alfalfa.
There is no combination of feed so
economical for production of beef,
pork, milk, butter and eggs, and for
growing animals, as corn and alfalfa.
We need alfalfa, because it balances
the corn ration and saves a large waste
of starch which always takes place
where corn is fed alone. We need al
falfa because we can, in this way,
grow on our farms the protein more
profitahly than we can buy it in manu-
featured feedstuffs. We need alfalfa
because it enriches the soil and en-
ables US to grow larger crops Of corn,
oats and other grain; because it pro-
duces on an average double the feed
value per acre that red clover or any
other forage crop will produce. Al
falfa is no harder TO grow than any of
the other forage crops. 1t adapts itself
readily to all kinds Of conditions OF soil
and climate and produces three and
sometimes four crops a year in the
corn belt; in the cotton belt states,
sometimes seven and eight crops.
When a good stand is once assured it
lasts four or five years in humid re
gions. and much longer in states west
Of the Mississippi river. Alfalfa can
be fed to all kinds of farm animals and
has no superior as a hog pasture. It
adds humus to the soil and resists
drought better than any other crop.
No piece of ground on the farm will

takes its place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
Of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphats,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process so
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used BY The General
is Tie result Of long experience. 1t produces
a roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
AT each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed TO refine,
test and blend the aSphalts used; also to expert
ment for possible Improvements. Their constant
endeavor is TO make the best roofing still better.
The quality Of CERTAIN-TEED is such that
it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or Is years, according

that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the

Grant Parish Sends
Most Boys To Course
Farmer Youths Receive Valuable In
struction in Classes and from
Demonstrations.


Special to The Times.
ColfaxI La, Aug. 20.-Because Of
the progressive attitude taken by the
banks Of Grant parish, more boys went
from hera 10 the farmer boys short
course in agriculture at Natcnit0ches
than from any other parish in the
state. Farm Demonstration Agent r.
IL. Benton, Jr., was in Natchitoches
Wednesday, at which time he grouped
tho Grant parish boys, counted heads
and took photograph Of them. There
were II boys who reside in this par
ish, and all of them together made a
very good Photographic photograph
that will show one of the progressive
steps made in better farming by thu
parish. This SHIRT course has beer
in session all OF this week, August Ia
t. -, inclusive.
This was the second annual shor /,
course held at the State Normal Schoo?
and the second time that Grant parish
has had more boys present than any
other parish in this state. AS an evi
dence that the good work will go on
the otherbanks of the parish are be
coming interested in the short course,
too The Bank of Pollock sent a de-
serving boy from its territory this year
The boys were given classroom in
strnction in the forenoon by represent
atives of the State University, the
State Normal, the Progressive Farmer
and demonstration force. In the aft
ernoon they were given concrete dem
onstrations on subjects discussed in the
classroom. All of the beef used to
feed the boys during their course came
from steers that were used in demon
strations of stock judging, feeding and
slaughter.
