Flint Think. Dry Slope
Can Raise Good Alfalfa
Practically Any Old Year

Bismarck, N. D., May 16.-That 1t is
possible to raise alfalfa probably and
successfully on the dry uplands Of
North Dakota is the opinion of Robert
Flint. state dairy commissioner, after
a visit to the farm of August Oestrich
in; Oliver county near Hanover. MIR.
Flint found there fifteen acres Of al
falfa, the total acreage being in three
different plots.
The alfalfa was planted in 1917, the
beginning Of the especially dry years
in North Dakota. Beginning in 1918
the field has been cut at least once,
and in the most favorable years twice.
producing a fair yield on the first
cutting in each instance. Twice parts
of the fields have been cut for seed, a
cutting of two acres last year pro-
ducing a total of 435 pounds of clean
ed alfalfa seed.
While the alfalfa is on high land, it
is not on hill tops. According to Mr..
Flint, the success of the fifteen acres
during the last five years bears out a
statement of a Mr.. Lyman, who had
much to do with the development Of
Grimm alfalfa. that the hight grounds
of western North Dakota would be
excellent for the growing of seed.
Mr. Flint, in talking with Mr..
Oestrich, called this fact to mind. and
asked him, in the planting of an addi-
tional fifteen acres which he will start
this year to get certified seed, and at
tempt a larger production Of alfalfa
for Q purposes.

UPHOLDS
PRESENT SYSTEM
OF GRAIN MARKETING

Wichita, Kan, May 16.--The pres
ent grain marketing system was de-
clared the most efficient and eco
nomical ever devised by L. L. Winters
of Chicago, in a speech before the
Kansas Grain Dealers association
here. "a. a
Through the medium of this sys-
tenn" Mr.. Winters said, grains are
handled with a smaller percentage OF
handling cost from producer Ito cor
sumner than any other farm produce
The farmer receives more for his
grain. the consumer pays less than
would be the case under any other
marketing system in the world"
Mr.. Winters said that basis for the
system's economy is found in the
hedging facilities afforded by the
future market and these hedging ia
cilities through the future market
are made possible by organized
speculation"
