June IA, 1923.
Mr.. f. G. Rudolph, County Agent,
White River, S. ID.
Dur Sir:
/ wish to tell you in a few words
how / believe is the best way to SOW
and grow alfalfa. Plow the ground
seven or eight inches deep, early in
the fall just before the weeds mature,
which will cause most OF them to de,
cay, instead of terminating in the
spring. AS soon as the ground is dry
enough to work well in the early
pant of April, double disc it and cross
harrow with a drag harrow, SOW with
a grain drill n%nttin~ % n"ar eight
pounds of seed to the acre as possible.
| put ten pounds of seed to the acre
this spring and ! believe it is too
thick. 1t is difficult to close a com
mon grain drill enough to SOW alfalfa
seed. A grain drill with a grass seed
attachment is the best to sow the re-
CURED amount. / also believe that it
is a great mistake to SOW alfalfa seed
without first inoculating the seed.
[ sowed twelve acres four years ago
and it took three years for it to do
any good, and | cannot lay the slow
growth to any other cause than the
lack of incubation. If n will notice
the alfalfa it will start to grow small
sprouts at the roots about the time
t begins to bloom or a short time
thereafter and if it is cut about that
time the second crop will not be
stunted and a better seed crop is most
generally harvested.
Most truly,
B. w. Withersspoon.

CITY MANAGER AND RESULTS
OF WORK TOLD BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

ground in a section of the city which
had been much neglected. There
was q. vacant lot of ground, several
acres in extent, and he set about to
find the owner to get permission to
use the ground. He found that years
and years ago it had been dedicated
to the city as a park, but never used
and everybody had forgotten it. Part
of it was used as a garbage dump. 1t
is now a very beautiful park with a
playground and next summer it will
have its swimming pool also.
This new park is the chief feature
of memorial avenue lined by trees
dedicated to the memory of the Pet
ersburg men who fell in the World
War, each CONNIE norated with a
bronze tablet set in a stone monu-
| ment, some of which always arc
wreathed with flowers.
A Park Without Cost to Taxpayers
Then there is Lee Park. The city
owned a great tract of land adjoin-
ing the city limits surrounding a
/ lake that formerly was used as a
water supply. 1t had been abandon
ed, and the land lay idle, nearly l.
700 acres cut through by one coun-
try road. Mr.. BroWnlow told the
council he believed he could make
a park there without costing the city
a cent in either taxes or bond money
The council said to go ahead.
First, Mr.. BroWnloW encouraged
the revival of a country club and
sold it enough land for its use for
$4,000. Then he sold some standing
timber on part of the land cut Oft
by a railroad for S12, 500. That gave
h Inn In I1.a r,F
this but $4,000. He now has four
and a half miles of park road, in
Guiding a wonderful scenic drive
around the lake, system of four
miles of foot paths, including 2S rus
tic foot bridges, six baseball dia.
monds, number of picnic places,
springs and wells, to say nothing
of the swimming beach and the
boating on the lake.
The lake, the winding roads and
paths, the groves of pine, of beech,
of oak, of hickory and of cedar,
make the place one of wonderful
natural beauty. The historic inter-
est is added by the presence within
the park of two perfectly preserved
forts and more than a mile of en-
trenchments testifying to the days
when Grant beseiged Lee in Peters
burg for more than eleven months
At one of these forts in this park
the last guns were fired on the morn
ing of April 2, 1865, when Lee left
Petersburg only to surrender seven
days later at Appomattox. That is
why this park, richly endowed with
historic interest. has been named in
honor of General Robert Z. Lee
Very few cities have a more beauti-
full large park than Petersburg. The
land was acquired for watershed
years ago and then abandoned. The
new government has made it into
an unusual park at no cost save
what has been realized from its own
resources. Scientific forestration
will, Mr.. Brownlow believes, make it
perpetually self-sustaining.
Having sketched here what an eff
cient city government has done for
recreation in Petersburg, the work
more remarkable, will be discussed
tomorrow.
Tomorrow-The City Manager and
Public Health.
