ALFALFA SUCCESS ON
INCREASE IN STATE
Fismly Packed Seed Bed Said to BE
: S,Vital-Many Farmers Plant
ing in July

East Lansing, July Is, 1920.-That
a firm packing of the seed bed before
summer paintings of alfalfa often
makes the difference between success
and failure with the crop, is the state
ment of Prof. J. F. Cox, head OF the
farm crops department at M. A. Z.
Many Michigan farmers will seed al
falfa during July, and in lower Mlchl-
gan during early August. These men
cannot afford to overlook the import
ance of carefully prepared seed bed.
"Alfalfa is being planted in Mlchl-
gan at the present time with more
success than ever begore," says Pro-
fessor Cox. "This is due to the fact
that farmers of the state have learn
ed the necessity OF using Northern
grown seed, of using lime, of inoculat-
ing seed, and finally of preparing a
firm, clean seed bed.
"Seed beds can usually be fitted IN
excellent shape for midsummer seed
ings. Were it not for the fact that
midsummer droughts are quite fre-
ouent, late July seedlings would be
recommended dDONe Spi llS piohohiS S'
AS it is, on ground which is foul with
grass or weeds, opportunity is given
to eradicate these pests before alfalfa
is planted.
"Seed beds prepared during mid,
summer are likely to be dry ano
ashy, however, and since few packing
rains, as compared with spring, car
be counted on at that time, specia
care must be taken to pack the seec
beds firmly with roller or with the cul
tipacker. A thorough trinity OF the
seed bed often makes the difference
between success and failure with th'
crop"
Detailed information in regard t.
securing stand of alfalfa in Michi
gan may be had by writing to Direc
tor Experiment Station, Michigal
Agricultural College, East Lansing
and asking for Circular No. 81.

successfully conducted it was later
absorbed by the General Motors cor

now connected. He accepter, under
protest, the Office of mayor of the city

and efficient administration, making a
record of which he may well be proud.

E. Brownell, prosecuting attorney Of
Genesee county, Homer j. Mcbride,
assistant prosecutor, and M. F. Brad
ley, formerly city editor of the Flint

ments which is an outgrowth Of the
recent war, and is in line with effi-
cheney in all business enterprises,
Owosso being centrally located, and
having a large number of men who
are already familiar with the opera
tions of trucks, will prove likely and
desirable field for a motor transport
company. 1t is understood that with
the mastering in Of fifty men the state
would issue four motor trucks, and as
the company was brought up to full
strength more would be added.

truck transport company of the Nation
al Guard in Owosso. With only one
nights notice of the calling of a meeting

overseas. Lieut.. Mccall is confident
that by August he will have at least
20 men enlisted the minimum number
T thai can be mustered in, and really
5 expects to have 65 by then. Within
= year the company must. haye roster OF
= 100 men. Adjutant General Bersey
. will inspect the company and muster
; them him on or about Aug. 1, according
to plans.
The advantages of membership in th'
=, company are manv. First OF ALL th
company will be a training school TO
5, men who have knowledge of moto
y vehicles and wish to increase thei
e knowledge, as we'll as those who hav
'' none but wish to attain some. Their
will be courses in all kinds OF moto
work, as we'll as infantry drill. Tn
, infantry drills will be held at regula
r periods just as though the compan
RI was an infantry outfit.
a o The state will furnish the compan
W with four trucks at the start and whe
a it attains it's full membership it is likel
a that a score of trucks, probably th

Since sending out fertilizer con-
tracts to Farm Bureau members a
few days ago, County Agent, II. T..
Dennison has received word from the
State Farm Bureau that a price OF
S31.S5 can be quoted on 16 per cent
acid phosphate. This is a saving of
about $3.50 per ton over the price
recently sent out. AS much as S4.OO
per ton can be saved on some of the
higher analysis. These prices are
made possible by the large volume
of business done by the State Farm
Bureau.
Contracts for number of hundred
tons are in Mr.. Dennison's hands
ready to send to Lansing. Since re-
ceiving the above quotations the time
for returning Of contracts has been
extended to Saturday, July IL. Nc
