NEBRASKAN INTRODUCES
ALFALFA IN MINNESOTA

TECUMSEH, Neb.. Jan. 3,-(special)-
Prof. W. L. French now an instructor in
agriculture in the public schools of Aus
tin, Mimi, is visiting relatives here. He
formerly lived in this county. Five years
ago, when Prof. French assumed his
work in the Austin schools. there was no
alfalfa raised in that section. 1t was un.
known grass to the farmers there. The
agricultural classes of the Austin school
do much demonstration work and Prof
French had the pupils work with alfalfa
from the beginning. The results were al
most surprising, the grass thriving nicely.
AS a consequence the farmers near Austin
became interested, and Prof. French and
his classes went among the argricuItur-
lists and told them how to raise and har.
vest the grass. At the end of five years
there are thirty-five farmers reporting
good crops of alfalfa, and there will be
many more to raise It another year.
