ALFALFA SEED
IMPORTANT
FEATURE
Local Grower Tells Concern.
ing Hairy Type of Peru
Wan Alfalfa Seed.

Inasmuch as considerable interest
is being manifested In the hairy type
of Peruvian alfalfa, the results OBJ
tained by C. C. Bowles of Imperial
Valley should prove interesting. In
letter to one of the large seed
houses, Mr.. Bowles says:
"I now have 200 acres of hairy Pc
ruvian alfalfa. The foliage of the
plants is more dense than other va
rieties, the leaves coming out in clus-
ters all along the main stem. The
common alfalfa has a leaf short and
round like the clover. The hairy Pc
ruvian has a long slender leaf shaped
like rabbits ear and is covered with
a fine coating of hair.
81 have a field of smooth Peruvian
which l resolved with hairy Peruvian.
In passing through the field after our
recent cold weather l found the
smooth Peruvian wilted and yellow as
if touched by fire. 1t had been
frozen to the ground, while the hairy
Peruvian standing beside it was as
green and thrifty as in midsummer.
call that fine demonstration. l have
about 80 acres of smooth Peruvian
mixed with the common alfalfa which
will probably plow next fall and sow
in hairy Peruvian, as the hairy va
riety seems to withstand the rigors
Of this climate best both winter and
summer. Others will soon make the
change when they see the superiority
of the hairy Peruvian demonstrated"
j. F. Nicholson, agronomist of the
College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Arizona, in commenting on
this new type of alfalfa, said:
"The quantity of hairy Peruvian al
falfa seed is very limited and the
demand is growing rapidly in our sec
ton, which would tend to advance
the price considerably over that of
common alfalfa seed. Some of the
seed houses may sell alfalfa seed
which is probably cross between
hairy Peruvian and the common vari-
ETY. at comparatively low prices. As
a matter of fact all Peruvian is
hairy, but in order to obtain the real
article it is necessary to distinctly
specify Hairy Peruvian"
The following statements are from
reports made by the University of
Arizona on hairy Peruvian alfalfa:
"We find that the hairy Peruvian is
a more hardy winter grower, more
upright and more prolific. We par
ticularly get better cuttings early and
late than we do on the common or any
of the other varieties of alfalfa that
we have tried We find that the hairy
Peruvian maintains good stand for
long period of time without re-seed-
ing. In the Yuma and Salt River
valleys it gives at least two cuttings
more than are obtained from other
varieties. 1t thrives at a much low
er temperature than ordinary vari-
