SCHEME TO GET ROAD PRO
POSED BY CONGRESSMAN y

The Durango Exchange and the
Silverton Commercial club are in re-
ceipt Of belated letter from Con
gresslnan Taylor, which, owing to a
lack oi time We are unable to pub
ish in full, but will call attention to
the important points concerning the
DILL providing for funds Tor the CON
struction OF the Durango Silyerton
highway.
In round numbers, the Forest SER
vice receives annually from the sales
OF timber, grazing permits, etc, about
aZ40,OO0 IN the state of Colorado. OF
this amount 100000 is paid to the
state to be distributed among the
counties in which the reserves are
located. Under this distribution La
Plata county gets $l,5S9.OO, San Juan
county $945.OO each year.
Mr. Taylor's bill provides for Dor
rowing from the federal treasury out
Of the forest reserve receipts from
Colorado $4,000 and its repayment
out OF the receipts from the San Juan
national forests, beginning with the
year 1922.
This merely means that we are
borrowing our own money in advance
and paying no interest on it. Six
years from next June we would have
20 commence repaying that money to
the federal treasury by allowing them
10 deduct three-fifths of the receipts
that would otherwise come to the two
counties.
The Exchange and the Silverton
Commercial club are taking up the
matter on the suggestion of Mr.. Tay-
ior TO try to geC him the support
necessary to pass the bill.

SOW HARDIED ALI AIFA.

That there has been a general de-
crease in the yield of hay as well as
seed production from our alfalfa fields
during recent years, is matter of
common observation. This condition
has in some degree been brought about
by the loss of weaker plants in the
field as the meadows become older;
by excessive pasturing; by injudi-
cious irrigation, and by grasshopper
depredations.
But there are other causes for this
general complaint concerning reduced
alfalfa yields, which to us seem more
alarming than these commonly men
toned.
Alfalfa, like other plants, becomes
toxic (poisonous) to itself if grown
continuously upon the same land for
from eight to 10 years, by reason oil
the excretions from its roots, and be
cause of the continual drainage of
the plant foods necessary for it sub
sistence, not to mention the physical
condition of the soil which becomes
increasingly unfavorable to large
yields under such pernicious farm
practices. Better alfalfa yields viii
be obtained by pIowing up these OLE
meadows after six or eight years oi
service and much greater yields oi
grain and potatoes win result in sucl
systematic plan of rotation.
Again. Our reduced alfalfa yieldi
are due to lack of vigor and vital
ity in the strains we are growing.
We usually use considerable dis
secretion in the selection Of wheat
oat, and barley seed, but are we no
too frequently sowing our alfalfi
fields with seed gathered from tn
rear of the threshing machine whcr
the mongrel mixture of clover, dodde
and other infesting seeds have beel
separated from our grain crops a
threshing time?
Most of our alfalfa seed cam
formerly from Kansas, grown unde
less favorable climatic conditions
which produced dwarfed plants ther
and tend to do likewise here. Mos
of the plains and inter-mountai
varieties are from Persian Arabia
or Turkestan origin, and are not 8

pean and Asiatic types.
Our experience with frost troubles
last spring is conclusive evidence that
we need to sow harder type II we
would escape similar losses in the fu-
ture.
Examinations of frost resistant al
falfa stools after that freeze show
ed that they possessed spreading
crowns with underground root stocks
and their buds were thus protected by
covering of earth, while the froz-
en- plants were those whose crowns
were exposed above the ground sur
face.
Baltic and Grim varieties possess
this underground stooling habit and
are known to belong to the hardest
of strains.
Field observations of these types
in this territory prove conclusively
their superiority as to yield of hay
and seed as well as demonstrate their
drouth and frost resisting qualities.
Seed from these varieties COM
mands a much higher price on the
market than does other seed. while
some seed dealers are quite hostile to
the common seed.
If you are contemplating seeding
new fields to alfalfa this season.
consider carefully the merits of the
Baltic or Grim varieties.
