ALFALFA SHOULD HAVE
PLACE ON MORE FARMS

Despite the fact that alfalfa has
limited distribution in Kentucky,
there is place for the crop on many
farms of the state, not as a major
field crop, but as a crop for a small
area of good land, crop specialists
at the College of Agriculture say.
It is a legume best suited to rich
soils that contain plenty of lime, but
most farms have from two to five
acres that could be prepared rather
easily for growing it. Fall seeding
is more satisfactory in Kentucky in
view of the fact that spring seedlings
are troubled with weeds and grasses.
Only two counties in Kentucky,
Pendleton and Campbell, have
large area of alfalfa, these two grow
ing half the acreage found in the
state, or nearly $4,000 acres, accord
ing to the 1920 census. The five
leading alfalfa counties grow nearly
fourfifths of all that is found in the
state. These facts emphasize the
limited distribution of the crop.
Sweet clover and limestone pre-
pare the way for the successful
growing of alfalfa. Both Pendleton
and Campbell counties have lime
stone soils, while sweet clover has
been extensively grown in both Of
them, especially Pendleton county.
Much of it grew wild at first, these
plants seeding and spreading over a
large area each year. The sweet
clover inoculated the soil and thus
prepared it for alfalfa.
There is no hay that is superior to
that made from good alfalfa, the spe-
cialsts say. 1t is an excellent feed
for stimpulating the milk and butter
fat production of dairy cows and al
SO makes a good feed for growing
stock or for animals that are being
put into good condition for showing.
Since three or four crops can be
cut in a season from good land, a
few acres will furnish considerable
supply of feed. Any farmer who
lines his soil heavily and seeds al
falfa on a few acres of his best land
can expect good results from the
crop. Good drainage. stable manure,
phosphate fertilizers and careful pre-
paration of the seed bed also in
crease thee hances for good stand.

sl,oO6.55 FOR SALVATION ARMY
Liberal Subscription Given by Winnie
shiek County for the Salvation
Army.

The annual drive Of Winneshiek
County for the Salvation Army was
completed last week. The total
amount raised in the county was
S1,006.55. There will be no more
solicitations for funds for the Sal
walton Army until the end of 1923.
There seems to be some mis-
understanding in regard to Salvation
Army solicitations. There are no
solicitations of funds by the Saliva
ton Army, except through local COM
mittees, and anyone securing funds
on behalf of the Salvation Army
should be treated as imposters, anc
the headquarters of the Salvation
Army notified, as the plan adopted
by the Salvation Army for raising
funds is by local organizations and
local committees, and this drive to be
made once year.
The following is a copy of the let
ter received from William Andrews,
Brigadier, in charge of the Iowa and
Nebraska Division of the Salvation
Army.
"Mr. r. Algyer,
DEBORAH, Iowa.
My dear Mr.. Algyer:
