deficient but generally abundant in
soils, since so little relatively of phos-
phorus is used, there is no grave dam
ger of exhaustion here. But when
crops remove from the soil 2R% of
their weight of humus and of nitrogen,
it becomes plain that other means
in addition to barnyard manur must
be employed to replenish and increase
these two great essentials.
While we have been casting about
for something or some method that
will do this, a most %opportune thing
has happened in the completion of the
most wonderful though extremely dila-
tory journey of the alfalfa plant from
its original home in the irrigated val
ley of the Euphrates to it's new one on
the sometimes ~rainless plains Of Mon
tana-a journey of $4,000 miles, re-
curing the patient plodding of 25 cen
Johnny on the spot" That alfalfa
will build up humus and nitrogen is
now beyond question. 1t has passed
its probation period. 1t is entering
upon a career that will exalt it to the
highest place in northwest agri.
culture.
But to the proof. What will alfalfa
do for US? First, it will maintain and
increase the humus content of the
soil. Second, it will conserve and
therefore increase the moisture sup
ply. Third, it will maintain and in
crease the nitrogen supply in the soil.
Fourth, it will UNNECESSARILY improve
the physical condition of the soil. Let
us take these up in order.
Alfalfa Makes Humus.
First, the humus. There is no other
farm plant that has so extensive and
far-reaching a root system as has the
alfalfa. These great roots, sheared
off by the pillow, decay and add an
amount of humus little suspected and
appreciated less and add it in a dis
tributlon most near the surface but
extending many feet into the subsoil
Into the surface soil is also ~incorpo-
rated from the growing plant by the
sloughing off of leaves, stem and stub
BILE a considerable quantity of vege-
table matter. This humus now gotten
into the soil begins it's great work Cf
preparing and storing food for what
ever subsequent plant root may call
for it.
Alfalfa Conserves Moisture.
Second, the moisture supply. This
is & direct result of first getting the
humus into the soil and increasing its
|sponginess so that it can retain two,
three. four times the amount of mois-

they can pass into a roomy stall by
themselves and eat choice alfalfa from
a low manger. The milk now is in
creased in the spring by the new pas
ture and the calves already growing
splendidly are given a big boost. One
can produce by this method a 1900
pound steer at IS or 20 months of age.
Montana cannot hope to compete with
Kansas and Nebraska in producing
alfalfa for the general market, nor I'M
der our conditions is it at all desirable
that we should. Our rougher land is
primarily %pasturage, utilized only by
the keeping of livestock which in turn
demands feed. So it will be in the
form of chops and steaks, butter and
eggs that we will market our alfalfa
hay. The n crop Of alfalfa hay that
we can always secure each year is
worth for feed on the farm that pro-
duces it this much-it will pay every
cent of expense on that field, be it
five acres or a thousand acres in ex-
tent; it will pay 8f6 on an investment
of $4,000 land; it will pay all taxes
on that land; it will pay for several
thorough civilizations given the alfalfa
field each season; it will pay for the
cutting and putting up Of the hay;
and it will pay the expense of harvest

it hay or be it seed.

worth. After eight years experience

Valley County Alfalfa Wins
The Montana Sweepstakes

of 1892 and a termination of 93.5.
Mr.. Pahalka was awarded first prize
and sweepstakes. Mr.. John BARNARD
of this county was awarded second
prize and MI. VIM. DeMessemaker
ranked fourth on his exhibit.
1t will be remembered that the ex-
hibit of Mr.. DeMessemaker won fourth
prize at the International grain show
at Chicago a few weeks ago. 1t is
stated by those who are in a position
to know, that had the exhibit of Mr..
Pahalka also been sent to Chicago,
there is absolutely no doubt but that
Valley county would have come home
with the highest awards in the nation.
This, consequently means that Valley
county now looms forth as the best
alfalfa county in the whole of the
United States.

Another new standard has been set
by the alfalfa growers of Lismas
community and Valley county, Mon
tana, in that at the recent grain show
conducted in connection with the state
Farm Bureau meeting at Boeman, this
county won both sweepstakes and first
prize.
Mr.. Fred Pahalka of the Lismas
community, and a member of the Val
ley county Farm Bureau organization,
is the proud possessor of the silver
cup which came with the highest
awards for his alfalfa exhibit at the
Bozeman show. According to the test
made by the judges it was shown that
the exhibit of Mr.. Pahalka. ranked
higher than any test ever made of alf-
alta grown in the Treasure state. The

Chairman Volstead Of the House
Committee, has stated that he is
not concerned with the appointment,
but only with the need Of the legis-
lation and that further protests and
endorsements should be sent direct
" to the President, who Is respon-
sible for the filing Of such positions.
just what policy is to be followed by
the President in this regard is not
known, for the administration is
yet young and few general policies
Of this sort have been laid down. It
is believed however that the Sena-
tors will have a considerable voice
in the matter and the man who is
given their endorsement will prob
ably be given the judgeship.
Judging from the correspondence
received here it seems to be the
general assumption in North Da-
kota that, Andrew Miller Of Bis
marck is the man thus favored. On
the other hand it is believed in some
quarters that Seth Richardson, with
the barking of the Nonpartisan Lea
que organization, which he is said
to have, may prove formidable
candidate. Richardson, it will, be re-
called, was candidate for the
state supreme court last fall and
had the endorsement Of the Nom
partisans at that time. From this
it may have been assumed that he
would now have the backing of SEN
ator Ladd, who was then upon the
same ticket. However, on the sur
face at least, Miller continues to be
the man most prominently men.

A special House committee is

The immigration bill, following
it's approval in conference, has gone

AS passed the bill will limit immi-
grafton from May 80, 1921, until

tion allowed by the House to inn1ni-
