GROW MORE ALFALFA IN
 ARKANSAS, URGES NELSON

More alfalfa should be Brown in Arkansas because it yields far bet ter than any other permanent mea- dow crop and furnishes the best hay for all around livestock feeding on the farm in the opinion of Martin Nelson, vice dean of the College of Agriculture, University of Arkan- sas.
 In seasons of ample moisture and late frost, as many as six cuttings of alfalfa averaging a ton each per acre have been grown in Arkansas. Four cuttings in season are usual in practically every part of the state while five cuttings are usual in some parts of the state.
 Owing to the fact that alfalfa usually remains on the land three or more years, it is the best crop for soil improvement that can be grown on the farm Alfalfa is such an important crop that it will pay to give it the best land on the farm and if this is done, every farmer can have at least small acreage of alfalfa, the worlds best forage crop
 The plant requires certain defi- mite things which most farms can supply. First, it wants rich soil, next, we'll drained soil of open texture so that the roots may pene- trate deep and their development not be interfered with by hardpan, brick tight sub-soil, or water stand ing too high in the soil.

COLLEGE COWS BELIEVE
 IN THE BULL CAMPAIGN

The gospel of pure bred sires has been going forth over the state from the University of Arkansas for quite number of years. It would be difficult to even estimate the number ot converts for Arkansas has made rapid strides in this di- rectlon. Of special interest is the fact that three cows in the Univer- slty herd have likewise become con- verted to the necessity for better bulls as is explained by H. k. Dvor- archek, professor of animal hus- bandry in the University of Arkan- sas, in a recent letter to co-work- CT in Little Rock.
 Tt is indeed gratifying to those who have preached the gospel to see farmers of the state appreciate it; but they have never even sus- pected that the animals themselves have been sitting up and taking notice. However, the truth has come to light recently when three Ayrshire cows in the University herd each calved nice, healthy bull calf during the month of January. This fact would sarcely attract attention were 1t not for the fact that these same three cows made similar rec ord during each of the two pre- ceding years. Nine bulls from three cows in three years must surely be record. They have gone 100 per cent over the top in the bull cam paign.
 The success of the Pure Bred Sire Campaisn is assured When ever the animals themselves take an interest and lend helping hand, the scrub sire is doomed. But pure bred herd cannot survive for many years without female off spring. We have, therefore, eau toned our herdsmen not to talk pure bred sires within hearing dis tance of the cows around the Uni versity barns. We are stocked up with bulls now"

grows best on river and creek bot tom soils where the soil has been made by the deposits from over flow. Such soil contains enough sand to make it porus and enough organic. matter to make it rich. Such porus soils are we'll drained except in times of overflow. Con- sequently the crop grows readily on all creek and river bottom lands of the state.
 "A sweet condition of the soil and inocculation are necessary for the crop. River and creek bottom soils are rarely sour and as a rule al- falfa inocculates readily, especial ly on the river bottom soil. On other types of soil more attention is necessary in order to succeed with alfalfa. The location of the field must be carefully chosen with ref erence to drainage and productivi- ty. The blowing must be deep and the field worked until there are no clods left. If the soil is sour, lime must be used, and it is best to ap- ply manure or commercial fertilizer, especially to the first field seeded on the farm.

seeding new fields.

Tt is absolutely necessary for
 success that the seed be sown just
 as early in the spring as weather
 and soil conditions will permit.
 About fifteen to twenty pounds of seed per acre should be used, sown
 broadcast and narrowed will after seeding. If lime and inoccufation are supplied, the lime should be ap- piled immediately after blowing and disked in just before seeding. The seed may be inocculated by using the artificial culture, or soil from an alfalfa field may be spread on the land at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre and cultivated in just be- fore seeding. The same cultivation may be used to work in the lime, the inocculated soil and preparing the soil for the seed. The surface should be smooth and fine when the seed is sown, then narrowed after seeding, thereby leaving the field perfectly smooth in order that the moving machine and all hay imple- ments may be used with satisfaction

that In some years more Of its inhab-

awful sacrifice Of young French man.
hood is far more dreadful than the
devastation. Often have the public
men Of France sounded an alarm on
the defective birth rate. It is much
