GUARDING AGAINST
SHORTAGE OF FEED
Big Item in Preparedness as Ap-
piled to a Live Stock Farm
Found in Silo.

Silos are effective Notifications
against feed shortage, ravages Of dry
weather, hail storms, late spring, early
frost, and poverty-suggests Prof c.
Larsen of the South Dakota state col
lege. He says:
-Four silos are standing in one row
on the north end of the state college
dairy barn. A visitor to the college
said, From a distance those silos and
barn appear like one of those ancient
castles with it's towers and forts that
we see over in the old country In
these days when there is so much war
and preparedness talk in the air, there
is some excuse for applying it to silos
and dairy barns.
"A big item in. preparedness as ap-
piled to a live stock farm is to have a
silo. Just now seems to be the time
when money is appropriated for pre-
paredness. Why should not every
farmer make an appropriation for pre-
paredness in the shape of silo? A
silo will pay for itself in two years,
fatten the pocketbook, and add a lot
of comfort to the cows and the feeder.
Where is there another preparedness
scheme that will do as well? If a

(By GRACE MARIAN SMITH0
In buying alfalfa seed it is we'll to
test it before planting. Examine it
first, and if there is q. large percent
age of weed seeds or small withered
alfalfa seed do not use it.
Your state experiment station will
tell you where you can get good seed.
Nurse crop.-Sometimes alfalfa is
seeded with a nurse crop. The nurse
crop is supposed to keep the weeds
down. But the barley, or rye, or
oats or whatever is seeded with the
alfalfa will use moisture and plant
food which may be needed by the al
falfa. It shades the young alfalfa
plants, and when it is cut, the alfalfa
is suddenly exposed to the suns rays
which may cause the weak plants to
wither. The young alfalfa may be
trampled when cutting the nurse
crop. All these things should be
considered in deciding whether or not
to SOW with nurse crop.

well started it must be watched
closely the first year. If it turns yell
low or sickly looking, NOV it down
but don't become discouraged. The
roots are probably all right yet, and
il you give them little help, they
may surprise you later by sending up
new shoots.
Alfalfa which turns yellow is usu-
ally in need of lime, drainage, or bac-
terra, or all three. When alfalfa turns
yellow it should be moved at once.
Take good care Of the BABY plant and
when it is a little older it will be
strong enough to fight its own bat
ties.
Harvestinu.-Now about the time
to harvest. Experience proves that 1t
Meade County news., 1916-06-22

is important to cut alfalfa at exactly
the righr time, and that neglect may
result in ,he dying out of the plants.
Usually The alfalfa begins to bloom
about the ZINE 1t is ready to cut, but
we must not depend on the blossom
to tell us when to cut. Watch the
basal shoots.
There are arrays more or less
shoots starting on alfalfa and little
experience is necessary to know just
exactly when is the best time to
cut.
When there are 81 cat many new
shoots and these have grown to one
and a half or two inches high, then
we should cut at once. If we cut ear
lier we will have taken off the first
crop before tho new came on and SO
lost some growing time. We want
to keep the alfalfa crop working all
the time so as to get as many cuttings
and as large a yield as possible.
If we cut late, the mower is apt to
clip Of the heads of the new shoots.
Alfalfa grows from the end of the
shoot as fern does, and if we in
jure the second growth by clipping
off the heads, the next crop will have
to start over by growing an entirely
new set of shoots. If the cutting is
delayed too long, until the plant be-
gins to go to seed, the vigor Of the
plant is gone just as It is in any plant
where seed is allowed to ripen.
We must also be careful not to cut
too late in the fall but to leave a
growth of six or eight inches high.
This holds the snow, protects the
roots, and serves as a preventive
against the heaving Of the ground
caused by alternate freezing and thaw-
ing. Heaving loosens the roots and
they are apt to be killed by exposure.
