ALFALFA SEED WARNING
Commercial Turkestan Alfalfa Seed
Not Adapted to General Use in
United States.

Commercial Turkestan alfalfa seed,
which formerly came to this country
through Europe, is now being import
ed into the United States by the way
Of Vladivostok and the Pacific Ocean.
Since July /, 1916, two and one-half
million pounds have been imported,
or enough to seed 125,oO0 acres. Un-
der most conditions it is decidedly
inferior to American-grown strains,
and no farmer should SOW it think
ing he is using American-grown seed.
The following statements show how
Commercial Turkestan alfalfa is re-
garded by experts of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
"Generally speaking, Commercial
Turkestan alfalfa has proved to be
inferior to the American grown
strains in nearly every case where
comparative tests have been conduct
ed In the eastern half of the United
States, where alfalfa seed is not pro-
duced in commercial quantities, i'm
ported seed was used almost exclu-
sively until within the past few years.
Of the several million pounds of
alfalfa seed that have been imported
annually, approximately 95 per cent
came from Turkcstan. This fact is
responsible for many Of the failures
that occurred with alfalfa in the
Eastern States. In brief, the Com
mcrcial Turkestan alfalfa yields less
than the American-erown strains, is
shorter lived, and is less hardy than
the Grimm, Baltic" and Canadian
Variegated. 1t is th2lbfore not a de-
sirable variety"
Commercial Turkestan alfalfa seed
can be readily distinguished from that
of other strains by the presence OF
seeds of Russian knapwced.
The latter are slightly larger than
alfalfa seeds and con rat be entire

ly removed by any known method of
recleaning. Their chalky-white color
makes them especially conspicuous,
and their symmetrical form, being
slightly wedge shaped, serves to dis
tinguish them from the notched seed
Of other similar weeds, which often
occur in Italian and other alfalfa seed.
AS the seeds of Russian knapweed
are not usually abundant, small
trade sample should never be used to
mercial Turkestan alfalfa. 1t may
often happen that number of small
samples, such as are usually supplied
by the trade, contain none of these
seeds, while an examination of the
bulk will show them to be present.
If any seed of Russian knapweed oc-
cur, the alfalfa seed is wholly or in
part from Turkestan.
The Seed Laboratory, United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., will examine half
pound samples to determine their
possible Russian Turkestan origin, or
small samples of imported seed con-
tanning the characteristic seeds of
Russian knapweed will be sent on
request.
Further information concerning
Commercial Turkestan alfalfa will be
found in United States Department
of Agriculture Bulletin 0. 1873, "Com-
mercial Turkestan Alfalfa Seed," and
in Farmers Bulletin No. 757 Com
mercial Varieties of Alfalfa"

Dixieland. At this Reunion Wash
ington expects to outdo itself, for
Washington is a city where entertain
ing has become an art The visiting
heroes Of the valiant Southland are
assured of hospitality that will re-
main in their minds as pleasing
memory as long as they and their
friends live. Blue will welcome Gray,
and instead of being strictly South
ern affair, it will become a National
event, and one of National signifi-
cance.
Washington is alweys beautiful,
but in it's vernal glory and beauty it
is thrice beautiful, ana ever Confed-
crate Veteran and his friends should
not let this opportunity pass to visit
the first city in the land, and one of
the wonder cities of the world.
Washington will welcome the
"Johnnies" with a hospitality almost
Arabian, everything for their pleas
ure, comfort and convenience will be
provided. The Great Plaza fronting
the Union Station, practically under
the shadow of the Golden Dome will
be converted into camp of a thou
sand tents.
Trolley lines, automobiles and rail-
roads will carry Veterans and their
friends to the many Civil War battle
fields, and to Mount Vernon, where
are located the home and tomb Of
George Washington.
Washington is pervaed today with
the spirit of war preparation for the
great struggle we are entering into
with the warning nations of Europe
makes' the city doubly interesting.
The lebel yell, "Dixie" and the
"Star Spangled Banner" will blend
along Pennsylvania Avenue, and
awaken the echoes, arouse the pa
trlotism as nothing else possible could.
The railroads are showing their pa
triotism and interest in the memor-
able event by giving the lowest rates
ever offered, and it is believed that
this will be the means of bringing
large attendance.
In addition to this event, others of
Importance will be held the same
week. The Sons Of Confederate Vet
Grams, the Daughters Of the Confed-
eracy, and the Confedcrated Southern
Memorial Association, beside Reig-
mental reunions, and the social func-
tions which always are elaborate fea-
lures Of the Reunion.
A visit to Washington under such
circumstances will be both interesting
and instructive, and especially so COM
ing at such time when our country
is preparing for war.

Double Last Year

With 10000 automobile licenses al
ready issued and applications for
more coming as briskly as when
they began in March, Secretary of
State C. T. Stewart believes that be-
fore the year ends 100000 licenses in
all will have been issued.
Applications are being received at
the rate of 500 or 600 day." said
Mr.. Stewart, "and the flood shows no
indication of diminishing. Because OF
the rate at which autoists have been
sending in for tags, we have made ne
effort to have local officials get afte1
the tardy ones. AS soon, however, al

A year ago total of $4,000 licenses

cred 10000 plates, but the rate al
which applications have been coming
indicates more will be needed.

SUMNER TRAINING CAMP
FOR HIGH SCHOOT. p

Camps for boys in the high schools
Of the state may be established for
from IL to 16 weeks this summer if
plans looked on with favor by the
government officials and approved in
Montana by Chancellor Elliott materi-
alize.
According to the proposal, the gov
ernment will furnish transportation
equipment and subsistence for boys
aged 16 or over who are admitted tc
the camps. Missoula and Bozeman
have been named as the cities where
the camps could be established.
The camps would be conducted in
plans somewhat similar to the conduct
of citizens training comps of the
past. Because the camps would pro.
vide an enjoyable outing, it is thought
that boys would be eager to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity. Each
camp might accommodate 1000 OF
more.
Military training, OF course, would
be the principal purpose of the camps
Other subjects to be taught would be
practical trigonometry, signaling and
the practical application of physics.
The proposition has been placed
before federal officials, and those who
have been communicated with have ex-
pressed their approval. It is consid-
cred likely that the camps will be
established.
Instructors in the high school would
be expected to take charge of the
camps. Regular army officers likely
would be present to direct the mill
tary drills.
When the boys become of age, it is
argued, they would be qualified for
military service if they should be
needed.

Estimate That Acreage in Crop Will
Be Doubled in Some Sections.
Early Grain Up-Corn
Doing Well

Thousands of acres of virgin soil
have been put into crop in northeast
ern Montana this spring. Prairie sod
in all parts of this section is being
broken to produce the greatest crop
this state has ever known. Patriotism
may be one incentive for the farmers
to put more land into crop, but the
realization Of high prices for their
grain is stirring them to extra ef-
forts.
Tractors are playing large part
in this great "drive" to raise bump
er crop. An estimate that would be
nearly correct is impossible, although
at every station they have been COM
ing in daily.
To get some idea of the tremendous
amount of farm work that is being
done all one has to do is to take a
drive through the country. The con-
tinued fine weather has given the
farmers a wonderful opportunity to
make quite stride in putting in the
crops. The soil is in the best of con-
dition to do nice work and there is
plenty of moisture in the ground to
give the grain a good start.
While the acreage this year will not
be as large as it would have been
had the weather conditions been bet
ter few weeks ago, however, it is
estimated that the acreage in this Sec
tion will be almost double that of last
year.

serve and allotment have been leased
