AS important as the soil treatment
for alfalfa is, it is no more important
than the variety or strain of seed
used, according to DIR. Burlison. Fail
ure after failure in alfalfa growing,
he said, has been traced to bad va
riety-one that winter kills easily
or strains which are just not general
ly suited to the locality. "With i'm
ported seed and seed from the nom
hardy types of the southwestern Unit
ed States on the market everywhere
let us reminder not to use alfalfa
seed unless we know the source
where it is grown.
Grimm, Montana, Idaho, Utah,
Kansas, or seed of some other de-
pendable strain will generally be
found satisfactory. Native grown
seed, as rule, will be found more
nearly suited to local conditions. And
be sure that the alfalfa seed purchas-
ed is free from noxious weed seeds
and from other impurities as well .
The germanation test, of course,
should be up above 95 per cent, if
possible. It will be found that, while
the high grade seed costs more, it is
usually worth the price"
A good variety of alfalfa seed will
general average more than four tons
of hay to the acre, DR.. Burlison
said. Such yield brings the farmer
real returns and should be a stimulus

age weight of 225 pounds. For each
100 pounds of gain they consumed
374 pounds of corn, and 80. 5 pounds
of tankage. At the end of the ex-
pertinent, the pigs had very curly
coats, and varied greatly in size and
condition, the largest weighing al
most 300 pounds and the smallest
only 120 pounds.
The second lot, in addition to re-
ceiving corn and tankage, was fed
alfalfa hay in a rack. Although the
lots were identical at the beginning
of the experiment, these pigs gained
more rapidly from the outset and de-
veloped smooth glossy coats. They re-
NAMED uniform in size. The superior
thriftiness of these pigs is indicated
by their average daily gain of L. 65
pounds per pig. They reached an
average of 225 pounds in 90 days or
33 days earlier than those fed only
corn and tankage. Their gains were
also more economical, for they made
each 100 pounds gain on 346 pounds
of corn, 30.5 pounds of tankage and
8. IA pounds of alfalfa hay. In this
experiment each pound of hay con-
sumed saved % pounds of corn and
| 2 pounds of tankage.
An analysis of the feed records
shows that 80 per cent of the hay used
by this lot was consumed during the
first half of the experiment, indicat-
ing that, while these pigs were under
$50 pounds in weight, the addition
of small amount of alfalfa hay
greatly increased the efficiency of the
nutrients in corn and tankage -
Breeders Gazette.
And so we have another good rea-
son for growing lots of alfalfa. Cows,
hogs, poultry, sheep and even horses
are strong for Alfalfa. Grow enough
to meet the needs of all your live
stock. There is getting to be some
alfalfa around Sank Centre. We
need several hundred acres more.

Alfalfa In winter hog NatlonS
While ration of corn and tank

cred a standard fattening ration fol-
pigs, a series of experiments in the
animal husbandry department al
South Dakota State College have
shown that the efficiency of this sup.
posedly complete ration can be great,
ly increased if the pigs are also given
alfalfa hay. If choice, bright hay is
available, hogs will usually gel
enough of it from racks so that the
combination of corn and tankage and
alfalfa hay becomes more efficient
than corn and tankage alone.
In an experiment begun Jan. 16
1925, lots of 6 pigs each, averag-

received corn and tankage, each self

The League of Women Voters met
in regular session Monday evening al
the home of Mrs. E. w. Currier. A
number of interesting subjects were
discussed. Miss Helen CaIlaghan, the
president of the League, states that
much stress was laid upon the great
need of all women getting out to vote
at the primaries next Monday. This
election is just as important in many
instances as the general election since
its result determines who shall be
the opposing candidates ir the gen.
eral election. The League is asking
every woman of voting age in Red

Monday.

They Can't HolIer Quite Loud
Enough.

Strong -lunged members Of the Republi-
can party are clearing their throats and
raising the prosperity cry for all they are
worth in an effort to attract attention away
from the cold facts and figures the Demo-
Gratis are laying before the country. But
they can't holler quite loud enough to do
this. A number OF others besides Demo-
Gratis have been handing them statistical
jolts which have all but knocked the breath
out of them. thereby transforming their
whoops to easps.
Take. for instance. the recent indu strial
survey of the New England States by
Rodeer W. Babson, the countrys leading
authority on financial and industrial mat
tiers. Mr.. Babson reported conditions any
thing but good and much dissatisfaction
among the farmers and laborers in these
States. More than that. he found much
uneasiness particularly among the smaller
stockholders in the shoe and textile indus
tries. He also stressed the great number Of
commercial failures in these States.
II would follow. then, from Mr.. Babson's
surveys and reports that the prosperity cry
will have little weight in the East, at least
not among the ordinary folks. And every
body agrees that it is absurd to try to talk
prosperity to the Western voters, For, as
Mr.. Babson points out. "as the next election
will show. the farmers Of the United States
and Canada are very sore at their respec-
tive governments"
The Department of Agriculture reluct-
antly informs the country that the farm
prices during August were 20 per cent
lower than in August last year and painted
anything but rosy picture for the future.
In fact, at this time when the Republicans
are whooping up the prosperity cry as the
New York World points out, the Agricul-
ture Department has spilled the beans. "
The World asserts:
Eminent Republicans have been very
busy marshalling arguments to show the
farmer what immense benefits he derives
from the present tariff. Representative
Wood, of Indiana. who is directing the
Republican Congressional campaign. has
put together some figures purpOrtine to
show that the wheat growers under the
shelterings wings Of the Fordney McCum-
Der act. are about 20 cents above that Of
the world market.
And now. just as the mails are being
cluttered with literature depicting the
triumph Of protection, the Department Of
Agriculture comes along and spills the
beans. In an official statement it warns
the farmer that he should only expect
wheat prices during the coming year to
be in line with the world market regard
less Of the tariff. What is the matter with
these agricultural expertsf Can't they un-
derstand the difference between facts and
politicsf This latest pronouncement Of the
Department of Agriculture is worse than ILL
timed IL 1t isn't actual treason we dom
