Dear Mother and Sister:

ago including Muriel's slam on my
ability as a Latin student. My fail
ure in Latin makes me all the more
qualified to advise you. l know that

law or medicine because l haven't got
enough Latin. / know that Spanish
was hard for me because didn't have
my first year Latin good. But II you
want to take Spanish for the next two

more in the United States or the
Western hemisphere than is Latin

COMING OF THE ALFALFA
MILLS 10 HAY DISTRICTS

The following article on the alfalfa
mills OF the state was written by Nix
on C. Elliott OF Pueblo and appeared
in Field and Farm" recently:
From very feeble beginning ten
years ago the alfalfa milling business
in the west has assumed proportions
of big business. Previous to ten years
ago the grinding of alfalfa into meal
was unknown. while now there are
several large and thriving companies
and many smaller ones in the busi-
ness. Colorado has the majority OF
alfalfa mills OF the United States
while Kansas. Nebraska, Wyoming,
New Mexico, California and Idaho
each have their quota of mills.
In the lower Arkansas valley OF
Colorado and over into Kansas the
mills are very close together, and the
greater proportion of the alfalfa rails
ed is ground into meal. The farmers
have found that their best crop is
alfalfa. and that greater returns are
derived from selling to the mills. In
other parts of the country the indus
try is scattered, and the mills con-
form in size to the area of the alfalfa
growing land tributary to them. Wy
oming is fast taking its place as one
OF the leading meal producing states,
the fine quality of the alfalfa for mill
ing having drawn numerous mills
within the last two or three years.
Three large companies take rank
as the great producers of alfalfa meal
in the west. These are the Colorado
Alfalfa Milling company. the Denver
Alfalfa Milling company and the
Western Alfalfa Milling, Manufactur-
ing and Electric company. The Colo
RADIO company owns and operates four
large mills. three in Colorado and one
in wyoming The Denver company
operates five mills in the lower Ar
kansas valley of Colorado. while the
Western company has one large mill
in each New Mixico. Colorado and
Wyoming. The three companies pro-
duce a great percentage OF the meal
made in this country.
In the past many small fortunes
have been lost in the alfalfa milling
business thru IGNORANCE on the part
of persons who engage in it. The
average person would not try to es-
tablish a sugar factory or canning
factory, yet many try to become al
falfa millers without having first OBJ
tanned the necessary experience. AS
natural result they fail miserably
| Proper machinery is one of the prime
republics, that of the Western AL
falfa Milling company being consider
ed by the great majority of millers as
the best made.
I Alfalfa hay, to get the top price
at a mill, must be OF prime green
color, thoroly and properly cured in
( the stack, dry and free from foreign
grasses, weeds and discoloration. 1t
should be carefully handled, so that
as much leaf as possible may be re-
tanned in the hay. Every alfalfa grow
er knows that if alfalfa is put up too
grassy it will burn in the stack. and
that If he waits until it is too dry he
loses the leaves and the weight There
is happy medium, when alfalfa can
be put into stack with all the leaf
and still be green after curing and
sweating.
