beef, milk, butter, wool and such
other necessary articles, it is imper-
ative that we raise the feed to be fed
20 those animals from which those
u p1oducts are derived. To accomplish
these results we must begin at once
&c seed every acre of land which is
under irrigation to hay-producing
crops. The shortage of hay in the
state of California today is one of
the most serious problems we have
to contend with, principally due to
the long period of drought we have
gene through.
Alfalfa is the most valuable hay
crop grown in California today, and
at the same time it is higher in price
per ton than it has ever been known
to be before. Why? Simply because
the production of alfalfa has not
been kept up at the same rate as the
increase of the animals which are
largely dependent upon this feed for
their existence.
Every farmer who has acreage
which is suitable and which is under
irrigation, should begin at once to
prepare the same for the seeding of
alfalfa. If you are in the dairying
business, you must raise your own
feed or be compelled to pay a high
price for it this coming summer or
perhaps for several years following.
If you are raising alfalfa hay to sell,

ALFALFA URGED
As ANSWER TO
FOOD QUESTION

In recent supplementary food pro-
duction program issued by the De-
partment. of Agriculture, it empha-
sizes and amulifies the program for
1918 issued by tnat department last
August.
Notwithstanding an increased pro-
duction of special crops in 1917, there
is need for more foods. Taking into
account our own needs, the needs of
the nations associated with US in the
war, and the needs of friendly neu-
trail nations, our best efforts will be
required to provide enough food for
1918. Whether the war continues or
not. the demands on this country be-
cause of the increased population and
the needs of Europe VIII be exceed
ingly great.
The farmers of the nation are
called upon especially to increase their
production OF hogs and beef animals,
rs the world is in need Of meats and
fats to q greater extent than it ever
las been before. Farmers are being |
urged to join with the men on the
ranges in providing sheep, as the wool
5 needed to equip soldiers. The first
hing necessary for the production OF
heSe food products is that every TIL
lille acre of soil in the United States
pe made available for the production
# food during 1918. California, on
account of its ideal climatic condi
ions and wonderful soil, is being ap-
,ealed to more than any other state :.
n the Union to increase the produc-
ion of these necessary foods. !
While at this writing we are hav-
ng rain, it is practically the first one

ut the ground in shape so that the
almer could get busy and prepare

The government is also asking the
fa1m to increase their acreage IN
com. While this is also necessary,
if must be remembered that corn can
be grown on a great many thousands
of acres in California where it is i'm
possible to produce alfalfa, as 1t re-
opires a great deal less moisture. While
CON, oats, rye, ETC., furnish carpo-
hydrates. animals also need protein.
Corn is rich in starch and sugar
fat-producing substances, but 1t is
also especially deficient in protein
which makes bone, muscle and frame
work for the growing body. That IS
where alfalfa comes in. Alfalfa saves
the large waste of starch which al
WAYS results when corn is fed alone.
The feeding value of alfalfa is double
that of clover or any other forage
crop. as it not only supplies the
necessary protein, but it also supplies
it more economically than we can buy
it in feedstuffs.
An acre of alfalfa is worth more
on the market today than an acre OF
any other crop. Alfalfa is sure
crop, because it is not dependent up
on the rain. After it is once estab-
lished it's long roots draw sustenance
from the soil much deeper than the

TRACTORS AT COST
FOR MAINE FARMERS

John 4. Roberts of Norway, State
commissioner of agriculture, has re-
ceived from Wilfred Wheeler, secre-
tary of the Massachusetts State
Board of Agriculture, communica-
ton calling attention to the fact that
the Massachusetts Board is distrib-
uting Ford tractors in that state at
cost. He also states that New
HAMPSHIRE farmers have sent in calls
for the machines, and possibly other
states would if the idea was known.
The Massachusetts Board can secure
more tractors than are needed and
Commissioner Roberts is asked to
give publicity to the same in Maine.
Seven machines come in a car
load and If applications are received
for a carload in Maine these could
be sent to some. central point in the
State. The cost Of the tractor in
Massachusetts, is $3.50 f. O. b.. and the
freight in carload lots is about SIS in
that state. The British government
has recently purchased 5000 of these
tractors on farms in England and
other parts of the empire.
The tractor is n powerful compact
machine. weighing roo pounds and
develops % horse power. 1T is driven
by kerosene. The tractor draws two
plows and has record under actual
working conditions in England of
blowing As acres in 46 hours. 1t is
suitable for use for both blowing and
narrowing and. under average New
England conditions, Will do the plow-
ing and narrowing Of three teams.
On large fields where there is not
much turning the tractor will replace
