we think these things must be. be-
cause Johnny and Mary are only
children. Somehow we expect the
child will outgrow these faults, never
realizing that a few suggestions at
the right time can prevent the forma-
ton OF undesirable habits. Let me
illustrate.
Three year old Jimmy was in the
habit OF drinking milk noisily. His
aunt said one day, Jimmy how quiet
ly can you drink that MILK" JIMMY
decided to show her he could drink
it very quietly indeed. 1t was a new
accomplishment, so Jimmy practiced
1T to show others, and soon he had
overcome the bad habit.
How many a mother has been en-
barrassed because her child started
eating before the guests at the table
were served. She might have been
spared that embarrassment if each
day her child waited with the rest of
the family until all were served.
Many children have habit of
leaving good share of their food on
their plates. Just as we adults
learned to leave clean plates during
the war, so little children can form
the habit and be quite proud to show
you their clean dishes. Not only will
this early training make the mother
happier, but the child himself as he
grows up will not have the disagree

How to Kill Pocket cophers

On the farm of Paul Kruger,
where the second stop was made, old
and new seedlings were inspected. Mr..
Kruger also has two-acre Blue
Valley Alfalfa demonstration plot.
Here the work of pocket gophers
was discovered on the older seeding
and Mr.. Grim explained the poison
bait method of destroying these pests.
He urged the use of this method of
killing them and as at all the other
stops, the farmers and others present
took part in the discussion.
Soil testing by the Richorpoor test
was demonstrated and its great value,
especially to farms on light, sandy
soil was pointed out. Mr.. Grim very
strongly advised farmers who plan to
sow Alfalfa or Sweet Glover to have
their soil tested first and find out if
it is acid.
Four Tons Alfalfa Per Acre
The hardness and thriftiness of AL
.falfa was impressed very strongly on
all those in attendance at the next
stop-the Joe Osendorf farm, where
four fields were examined, the seed
ings being from fourteen years old
to those of last spring. The fourteen
and eight year old fields attracted
special attention on account OF their
age, hardness and size of the plants.
The Osendorf farm has one OF the
largest Alfalfa acreages in the Sauk
Centre country. 1t contains 240
acres of land, of which so acres are
devoted to Alfalfa. Slightly better

ALFALFA CLUB TOUR
Provides Valuable Demonstra tons

The 10000 Acre Sank Centre A.
falfa Club rendered this community
a real service one day during the
latter part of October, wnen it con-
Quoted an Alfalfa field tour on which
a number of Alfalfa fields in the
neighborhood of Sank Centre were
inspected.
The services of R. F. Grim, Alfalfa
Extension Specialist from the Uni
versity of Minnesota, had been Sc
cured by the Club, and Mr.. Crim's
presence and practical advice were
largely responsible for the success of
the tour.
The Start of the Tour
Promptly at 8 80 A. M. members of
the Club and number of Sank Cen
tire business men interested in Alfalfa
left the Palmer House corner in the
city for the R. G.. Penrose farm,

Found In Our Community

There are many good examples of
what not to do with Alfalfa in any
Community. Ours is not an excep-
ton. A great deal of study can be
made of any alfalfa field. How was
it sown, whether alone or with a
nurse crop, whether it was inoculated,
what the roots look like, how long
they are, how large, how close to-
gether, etc. Profit by the other fell
lows mistakes.
Different examples may be found
of seedlings of Alfalfa that failed be-
cause of the nurse crop being seeded
too heavy. One bushel of any nurse
crop is plenty, if the Alfalfa is to be
given a good chance.
A good example can be seen occas-
ionally of the Importance of a we'll
packed seed bed in getting a stand
of Alfalfa. Places in the new seed
ing where horses tramped in turning,
or where tractor wheels ran or wagon
wheels tracked can be seen very plain
ly because of the much better stand
of Alfalfa in these places. The rea-
son for the better stand is that the
ground was more compact.
Alfalfa Seed Scarce In Minnesota
This Year
Due to the rainy season in Mime
sofa, the Alfalfa seed crop for this
year is reported much smaller than
usual.

Alfalfa next spring should place their
orders for their seed as early as pos.

Shown in Size of Alfalfa Plants
Alfalfa plants growing side by side
will show great deal of difference
in their size and growth due to their
being inoculated or uninoculated.
Inoculated plants are invariably larg-
er, stronger and sturdier. Small,
spindling plants are generally the
ones not having incubation.
incubation Of Alfalfa seed is a
simple, inexpensive practice. Com
mercial or government incubator
gives excellent results when applied
in the proper way according to d.
rections.

than four tons of Alfalfa per acre
was harvested this year.
While at the Osendorf farm Mr..
Grim, who is probably the best post
ed man on Alfalfa and Sweet Clover
in Minnesota, gave short and in
teresting talk on the cost of produc-
ton and feeding value of Alfalfa and
offered in evidence many pictures,
charts and figures from actual exper-
iments.
Fine Stands Found
After dinner in Sank Centre the
tour was resumed. A number who
had participated in the forenoon were
forced to abandon the afternoon trip,
but in most cases good numbers of
interested farmers were waiting at
the different farms when the Alfalfa
party arrived.
The Club during the afternoon Wis
tied the Alfalfa fields on the Winfield

BIG INCREASE NEXT SPRING
IN ALFALFA ACREAGE

Last spring enough seed was sold
at Sank Centre to SOW between seven
and eight hundred additional acres of
Alfalfa.
All indications at present point to
a much greater acreage being put out
this next spring around Sank Centre.
Alfalfa is becoming more common
to Sank Centre farms. It should be
as common as cows and silos and be
grown on every farm.

ceptionally fine stands were found on
the Ceyner and Kinsella farms.
The Importance of compact seed
bed was stressed by Mr.. Grim during
his afternoon talks and he urged
growers to cultivate grassy Alfalfa
fields with a spring tooth harrow af-
ter the first cutting or in early spring.
The Importance of getting Alfalfa
seeded not over an inch deep was al
so discussed. Seeding with grain in
a grain drill will often put Alfalfa
seed in too Deep" said Mr.. Grim.
Caution must be used.
A Real Service
At the close of the tour Mr.. Grim
again made the statement that he
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1924-11-20

could see no reason why the farmers
in this Northwest territory could not
develop a large industry in Alfalfa
seed growing. "At any rate enough
should be raised for seeding, if moth
ing more" he said.
The 10000 Acre Sank Centre AL
falfa Club is to be congratulated on
the success of its first Alfalfa tour.
May there be many more! 1t dem
onstrated as nothing else could that
when the right methods are followed
Alfalfa will grow abundatly in this
territory, which means that dairy
farming here may readily be made
far more profitable in a short time
than it has ever been before.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1924-11-20

sible. This is the only way pure
hardy seed can be obtained.
Minnesota farmers who were lucky
enough this year to hull some Alfalfa
seed will undoubtedly have it all en-
gagged early in the season. Engage
YOUR seed early. The hardy Min
nesota Grimm variety has been prov
en- by the Extension Division of the
University of Minnesota as being the
hardest and most adaptable variety
for all sections of Minnesota.
No doubt the Sank Centre Alfalfa
Club will be glad to help you engage
good seed now. The Blue Valley
Farm Service is also at your disposal.

where the first stop on the trip was
scheduled.
Mr.. Penrose has one of the twen-
1y-five two-acre Blue Valley Alfalfa
demonstration plots put out last
spring. He seeded it without a
nurse crop, but the seed was well in
oculated and he has good stand. A
number of plants were dug up and
Mr.. Grim pointed out the incubation
nodules found on the roots and dis
cussed their value in the successful
growing of Alfalfa.
Value of incubation
Records kept on Alfalfa plots sown
at the University farm in 1913 show
the following comparisons between in
oculated and uninoculated plots:
Auora no total dry matter Weld
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1924-11-20

incubation adds the equivalent OF
1875 tons of manure while without
the incubation the equivalent OF only
1.48 tons is added. "With such
small cost and trouble all Alfalfa and
Sweet Clover should be inoculated,"
said Mr.. Grim.
Mr.. Grim also stated that Alfalfa,
is very rich in lime, which is needed
so much by producing and growing
animals. Alfalfa is superior to
grain and bran because of it's lime
content.
Cost of Alfalfa VS.. Tame Hay
On records kept on farms at Win
dom and Owatonna, the costs of pro-
ducing tame hay and Alfalfa were
compared. The comparisons were as
follows:

husbandry division, says University
Farm will exhibit Is fat steers, 60
fat ybarrows, and 16 sheep at the In
ternational. "These animals will at
least provide some strong competition
whether they win or not" he says. A
year ago the University of Minnesota
won total of 83 premiums including
several championships and first prizes
and many second and third prizes.
University Farm raised pigs last year
won three out of a possible four
