q. r.. Davis OF Castleford, Tells How
lie Raised BUMPER Crop OF Al
faifa Seed Last Year

Growing Alfalfa Seed in the Twin
Falls County" was the subject OF an
interesting talk given by +. c. Davis
OF castleford. at the Twin Falls Seed
Growers meeting held in the Cham
Der or Commerce rooms Saturday ar
ternoOn, when more than 200 farm
ers gathered to hear the interesting
subjects relative 10 seed. pests and
market conditions. says the Bull Re
publican.
Mr.. Davis as received an enyiable
reputation as an alfalfa seed grower
because OF the bumper crop he raised
during the past few years and espec-
tally last years crop, when from six
acres or ground he. averaged 291s
bushels per acre. one acre producing
32 bushels and 2 pounds OF seed
this six acres was the heaviest in pro-
duction OF this entire seed crop, the
balance OF the acreage. however. pro-
dnced a very high average.
Mr. Davis told the farmers that he
did not consider himself any more OF
an expert than his neighbors. for any
farmer In this section can have the
same success providing he makes the
raising OF seed a business rather than
merely side issue. He intends to
raise sixty acres OF seed this coming
year and the following is his recipe
in the preparation OF the seed bed
and the caring for the plant in order
TO obtain the desired results OF
bumper crop.
"Irrigate the field the last thing in
the fall. Just before freezing time. |
however. a winter such as we are now
having. should answer the purpose of |
the fall irrigation. Another irriga
ton just before freezing stops in the
spring is advisable. this will stunt |
the plant. thus insuring less straw af
ter the plant is grown. Quick grow
ing for alfalfa seed is most advisable. |
AS soon as the ground is suffi-
ciently, dry for narrowing. use
spring tooth harrow. and set them so
as 10 harrow to depth OF 4 to 5 in
ches; follow up with the leveler.
thus creating mulch TO hold the
moisture and TO knock off the high
spots: no more work is required UNI
Ill the plants are abut two inches
high, then give the field heavy peg
tooth narrowing 10 further stunt the
growth of the plants. In week or
ton days corrugate. making corruga-
tions deep and smooth; cut all CORFU
cations TO the feed ditch ready to
turn In the water; let stand until the
stems harden and turn dark and blue
in color: when the ground is as dry
as IL will stand then turn in the water
a continuous 12-hour irriga-
.son. trying not to flood.
"Endeavor TO keep a minimum even
moisture through the balance OF the
season. The final irrigation should
be run continuously for from 2 to
Is hours according to your own opin-
ION as to whether the seed will ma
lure withut further water and con-
pletely fin the seed pods. Put off
cutting until all the pods are thor
3ughly developed.

INCREASE IN ALFALFA CROPS
Laroer Yields Secured by Oregon and
Washington Farmers by APpll-
cation Of Sulphur.

Farmers In Oregon and Washington
have greatly increased their alfalfa
crops by the application of sulphur.
This practice Is based upon the re-
suits of Investigations by the expert
ment stations In these states as well
as upon demonstrations Of the use Of
sulphur on alfalfa conducted by the
county agricultural agents In co-opera-
ton with specialists from the agricul-
tural college. In Deschute county last
year 2S5 tons of sulphur were used,
at n total cost of a little more than
$4,000, and the increased yield, reck-
oned at $40 ton, was $4,000. In
Jackson county PIT tons, costing
about $4,000, are estimated to have
Increased the yield $4,000. In Kla-
math county 9S tons, costing S5,400,
gave an estimated increase of $4,000,
reckoning alfalfa at $15 ton. Dem
onstratlons in Josephine. Wallowa and
wasco counties give similar ratio
of results. The first experiments In
sulphur fertilization In these states
were made In 1912. Rapid develop
ment of the innovation was made pos
sIble through the system of county
agents and key men who were practi.
cal farmers.

STEERS FATTEN ON SILAGE
Of Feed, Made IA North Da-
kota Station.

Steers can be fattened profitably on
corn silage alone according TO a series
Of tests conducted at the South Da-
kota experiment station. The steers
didn't get Off their feed nor were there
any bad results In feeding silage as
the sole ration. At the close of the
tests each year the cattle were
shipped to the Chicago market, sold as
killers, and brought within a few cents
Of the market top.
''The gains have been remarkable
considering the nature OF the feed"
said Director Wilson. "In many cases
the gains have been larger than cattle
OF the same sge have made on pas
ture. Hundreds OF cattle are wintered
on a half starvation ration when II
they were fed corn silage from the
time they were taken Off of grass In
the fall they could have been sold
late next spring when cattle are usu
ally high in price"

HOMEMADE HIDES
ARE TOO UNCERTAIN
It Does Not Pay Farmer to Tan
His Own Leather.
Packing Houses Have Considerable
Advantage Because OF Ability to
Carefully Grade skins--HoIes
Are Avoided.

Apparently 1t doesn't pay the farm
er to tan his own leather. The bureau
OF chemistry, United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture. is conducting
leather-making experiments upon the
scale to which the average farmer
would have to adjust his work. and
specialists say that the results OBJ
tanned thus far do not warrant gen
eral practice. Good leather can be
made In individual tanneries, but the
results are too uncertain to give re-
liable profits.
The work was taken up by the de-
partment when II became evident that
the farmers were feeling the injustice
of transaction wherein they sold a
whole cowhide for less than they paid
out for a pair Of work shoes-an oc.
currence not at all unusual. lnvesti'
CATION shows that the leather dealer
is not entirely to blame for the low
prices that the farmer receives for
his hides. Too often the hide from
the farm COW is taken off In n care
less manner that leaves the skin full
of cuts and holes-farm hides are new
er as uniform as those bought from
the packing houses, where the animals
are carefully graded and the Skins
removed by expert skinners. For thai
reason the hide buyer is always VIII
ing to pay more for the packers prod
uct than he can offer the farmer.
Then. too, the farmer sells his cow
hide to the junk dealer, who deduct'
his profit from the price he pays
Whenever 1t is possible TO collect
