ALPINE sport" IN ENGLAND
Little Spot in cumbrian Mountains
Which Offers an Imitation of
the Real Thing.

Few travellers. even those familiar
with the by-ways, will think of Eng
land in connection with the sport of
mountain climbing. Yet there Is a
bit of tumbled country in the west of
England where a coterie of devotees
Of this perilous sport foregather an
nually at the Christmas season to get
a taste of alpine work near home.
The village of Washable Head, In the
Cumbrian mountains is the base of
operations for these outdoorsmen who
find their joy in scaling precipices with
a forty foot rope about their waists
and hundred-yard drop below.
The village itself Is one of the pic
turesque bits of old England which
have not changed much in the last
800 years. Here you can attend serv.
ices in what is probably the smallest
church In the wOrld-a tiny building
with seats for twenty people. There
is an inn, of course. with battered
signboard. which might have been mod
eled after a description from Dickens.
except that il was 1ourishing some
centuries before Dickens was horn.
For eleven months in the year
neither the inn nor the church AZ West

lord at the Inn has hooked his little
rooms with their low ceilings eight
months ahead for the cold days If

the climbers gather and the chance
tourist who arrives At this time will

to allow a sufficient fall growth to lie
velop that will give protection to the
roots during the winter.
.. Much more successful results,
however, can be secured by seeding of
hardy varieties of which the Grimm,
Baltic, Cossack and Turkestan are by
far the most successful. Even these
hardy varities when cut late In the
season are injured to a slight extent
under our Wisconsin conditions.
In variety tests 1t often happens that
the yield Of the common strains Is
fully equal the first year TO that of the
hardy Russian and Asatic strains. but
the difference In hardness which be
comes more noticeable as the age OF
the alfalfa field Increases. results In a
material increase In crop of the Grimm
and Baltic varieties after the first year.
Much Of the so-called hardy variety
seed that is on the market Is found not
to be true TO name.
While the best hardy varieties be-
long to the type producing varlegated
blossoms, stlll variation is not an indl.
cation of hardness in the plant. Even
the common alfalfa. which under ordi-
nary conditions produces purple bios
SONS, will produce varlegated flowers
in seasons Of deficient rainfall. The
alfalfa plant blossoms much more
freely in dry weather, and conse-
quently the variations which may re-
suit in the production of variegated
blossoms will be more evident where
the field blossoms fully than where
Towering is somewhat hlndered by vir-
tue of the increased rainfall.
Much trouble is frequently reported
in Wisconsin with reference to alfalfa
being run out by blue grass The ldea
prevails very commonly that ordinary
blue grass win crowd out the alfalfa
plants in the course of several years.
Mr. Graders experiments. however.
are seemingly conclusive that the diff
ficulty IS due entirely to wlnterkilIlng
alfalfa by blue grass. In our expert
mental fields with common strains of
alfalfa. where winterkiIllng ranged
from 10 to As per cent blue grass has
come In rapidly to refill the barren
areas, while under the same conditions
with Grimm and Baltic not more than
= 10 per cent of the area is occll-
pied by grass. Farmers who practice
late fall cutting or pasturing, espe-
cially II a severe winter season fol-
lows, will find much Of their alfalfa
stand ruined, and in time replaced
with grass.
