DANGER SHOWN BY
SUDAN ANALYSES
Head of State Bureau Warns
Against Prevalence of JOHN
son Grass

A warning is issued to those farmers
intending to plant Sudan grass this sea-
son to be certain that the seed which
they obtain for planting purposes is
free from johnson grass seed. Quite
a number of the samples Of Sudan grass
seed submitted to the seed laboratory
of the department of agriculture for
testing purposes have been found to
contain traces of johnson grass reports
w. S. Wilkinson Jr., seed specialist,
bureau of standardization.
Prospective purchasers should demand
that the purity of the seed which they
intend buying should be shown by the
seller as required by the California Pure
Seed act as small quantities of Johnson
grass seed planted with the Sudan grass
may cause serious infestation of this
weed pest which may cause the farmer
much worry and expense to eradicate.

5000, acres Hairy Peruvian alfalfa
alone. Thirty threshing machines were
employed until fall in handling the
crop. There are three large recleaning
and warnhousing establishments IN
Yuma, one of them, the Farm Bureau
Exchange, farmers selling organiza-
tier. These three concerns redeemed
and prepared for shipment:
Hairy Peruvian seed.-......2 ,097 800 lbs.
Smooth Peruvian seed 1877 200 lbs.
Common seed .......-...-. 330,720 lbs.
of which the Farm Bureau Exchange
handled approximately one half.
Certified Fields
A large part of the. Hairy Peruvian
alfalfa seed produced in the Cuma Val
lev is from certified fields. Since the
seed of Hairy Peruvian can not be told
from other varieties there was tempt
alton upon the part of some, because
of the premium received from Hairy
Peruvian, to substitute common seed for
the Hairy Peruvian or to mix the two
varieties. Also, there was considerable
educational work involved as many of
the seed growers did not know whether
their fields were true Hairy Peruvian.
Consequently in order to maintain the
purity of Hairy Peruvian seed and cor
rect certain abuses in the handling and
selling, the Yuma County Farm Bureau
Exchange undertook, in the spring of
1921, the examination and classified
ton of all the alfalfa fields belonging
| to its members. This work was done
by an expert formerly in the employ of
the Arizona Agricultural experiment
Station. Every field found to be true
! Hairy Peruvian was certified and the
| grower given instructions regarding the
handling of his crop to insure its pur-
ity. However, the service did not STOP
! at this point. The thrashing and re-
cleaning of all seed from certified
fields was done under the rigid inspec
tion of the organization and the certi
fieation tags sealed on the bags by
their inspectors. A complete and de
pendable purity and termination test i:
furnished with every lot OF seed.
At the present time NEST of The
Hairy Peruvian alfalfa is grown in thC
warm valleys of the southeast. 1t is
grown to a limited extent III southern
New Mexico, the Rio Grandc Valley OF
Texas and the coastal regions of The
southeastern states. The results Sc
! cured Indicate that in much of thi
region the common alfalfa could be re
placed very profitably with Hairy Per

Of the State
10000 ACRES THIS YEAR
San Bernardino County Has
21,0OO Acres, With 5000
Acres of New Crop

San Bernardino Sun: There are now
21 900 acres of grapes i'll San Bernar-
dino county, and at least 5000 acres
more will probably be planted this
spring, according to the best figures
and estimates available.
From every section of the state
come reports of heavy paintings of
cranes. and some growers are begin
ming to wonder what of the future as
to market conditions. One authority has
estimated that in Southern California
alone the new acreage set this year will
be not less than 10000.
Here in San Bernardino county the
Fontana Company alone is putting out
not less than 1000 acres, possibly more.
In the Nerdemont region about 500
acres will be planted by the Meyer
Brothers and the Nerdemont Vineyard
Company, Willie out in the Etiwanda-
Cucamonga sections the present plant
ings are being very greatly extended,
hundreds of acres being set.
Of the new plantings in this coun-
ty, rs well as other parts of the state,
table grapes are predominating. a few
wine grapes are being set of certain
grapes very largely predominate.
Of last years paintings the census
made by Commissioner John ?. Coy
shows the following varieties and acre
age: Muscat, S95; Sultanas, 479; Cor
nichon, A.: Red Malaga, 81; White Nal
aga. 250; Zinfandel, 90; Matero, 25;
Missions, 80; Berger, %; Tlicante, six;
Tokay, seven Grenache, %. Total,
1872 acres.
In the San Joaquin Valley great
tracts of Thompson Seedless and other
carly varieties are being planted, Kern
county, where the grapes are even car
lier than at Fresno, being the scene OF
large paintings.
Imperial Valley is also fast coming
to the front us grape country, the
fruit maturing there very early and
getting into market by June. Very
large acreage of varieties suitable for
that climate is being set, and it is pre-
dicted that within few years Imperial
will be sending very large quantities OF
grapes into the early market.
Coachella Valley is also coming tC
the front as "a grape producer. The
acreage there will this spring be in
creased from $40 to about 1000, ac
cording to estimates made. Malagas
Museats and Thompson Seedless are the
principal varieties there.
Over in the Palo Verde Valley grapes
are also being planted, the Thompson
and Malagas predominating in the new
| acreage.
In the state the new paintings last
| year were more than half of The
| thompson Seedless variety.
Last year S crop amounted TO 28,00(
ears shopped out by rail, these figures
| lot taking into account any local con
sumption. 1t is estimated that not les
| than fifty million dollars were receivec
| by the growers for the crop, the prize
per ton running from 500 TO $l75, ae
cording both TO the variety and th'
market.

HAIRY PERUVIAN
ALFALFA LEADS
First Tested in Yuma Valley
in 1903. Becomes Famous
For Good Hay
HAS RAPID GROWTH
Likewise Does Well in Cool
Weather and Makes Quick
Recovery After Cutting
HAS RAPID GROWTH
Bv NJ. NJ. WINsLoW

Yuma County Agricultural Agent
In the wear 1908, by the United
States Department of Agriculture, un-
der the record s. p |. No. 1908, alfalfa
seed was introduced into the United
States from Peru, the progeny of which
has become famous in the warm valleys
of the southwest. The fertile Yuma
Valley of Arizona was selected by the
department Of agriculture as an excel
lent location to test out No. 9303. The
Peruvian immigrant found its new home
an ideal place and it thrived beyond
the expectations of the importers Soon
No. 9303 was known TO the Yuma farm
crs as Hairy Peruvian alfalfa.
Starting with small test plot, the
popularity of Hairy Peruvian alfalfa
grew rapidly. The fame of this alfalfa
soon extended beyond the confines of
una Valley, and ii is now being
grown extensively in the other warm
valleys of Arizona and California.
The popularity of Hairy Peruvian
alfalfa is due to rapid growth, quick
recovery after cutting, and its out
standing ability to make growth in cool
weather after ordinary alfalfas have
ceased growing. II starts growth ear
lier in the spring and continues later
in the fall than common, thereby Civ
ing more cuttings each season. The
Arizona Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion has found Hairy Peruvian to give
uniformly greater Yields than any other
variety under southern Arizona condi-
tions. Yuma Valley farmers have found
il to be better for winter pasturage
than other varieties.
Has Many Differences
Hairy Peruvian differs from com
mon alfalfa in number of ways. The
rlants have fewer stems, are less
branching, more upright and in thin
stands, are coarser. The leaves are
somewhat larger, being longer and gen
orally wider. The feature that gave il
the name, Hairy Peruvian, is the hair
mess of the entire plant, particularly
in the adult stage. The hairs are some
what sparse at the base, but the mum
her increases on ascending the plant
s., that al the top both the stem anC
leaves are covered with q dense growtl
of fine hairs. A field when viewed
from a distance has d distinct grayisi
green appearance.
Hairy Peruvian alfalfa is cut at diff
ferent stages of growth, depending OIL
the kind of hay desired. For dair,
feed it must be cut in the bud; 70
horse feed it is better to let it matur
and bloom. The greatest yields ar
made when cut for dairy hay. TIL
quality is not excelled.
As the fame of Hairy Peruvian al
falfa spreads beyond the confines o
the Yuma Valley, there came a deman
for seed from the farmers of othe
sections, and from a small beginning
the production of Hairy Peruvian see
has grown until Yuma is now tn
center of perhaps the most productiv
and one of the largest alfalfa see
growing districts of the United State,
In 1929 seed was taken from nearl

success in every way. This sale was,
perhaps, equal III Importance to the

come win be exhibited not only these
worthy animals, but countless of their
descendants and the glory of Imperial

Imperial Valley live stock men are
awakening to the value of better ami
mails. 1t is sometimes slow process,
and especially at such times as this

taken by those III attendance shows
that there is latent interest here IN the
pure bred idea, and that proper en-
coura cement will develop it into q
whispered practice.
The bidding at times showed good
rivalry, though the prices at which the
animals closed were away under the ex-
pcctations OF tie cOnsigncrs. From q
valley standpoint, however, the sale
was big success. The Southern Cali
