Alfalfa Has Made
Rapid Strides Here
nv M. A. Nye)

The increase in Alfalfa acreage
on Sank Centre farms during the
past five years has been remark
able.
The very big per cent of Sank
Centre farmers are now Alfalfa
growers. Alfalfa is such valu-
able feed, and can be fed so gener-
ally to all classes of live stock,
that the time is here when every
up to date farmer is growing al
falfa and it is just a question with
him now of how larg an acreage
he should grow.
Sank Centre farmers generally
have sowed good alfalfa seed. The
big per cent of seed sowed has
been pure certified Grimm. AL
though Grimm costs a little more
it is extremely hardy and will
stand the winters and freezing and
thawing AS good las any variety
known. The little extra money
spent for pure Grimm seed is the
best investment an Alfalfa grower
can make.
A firm seed bed has saved many
Alfalfa seedlings that otherwise
would have been money, seed and
time wasted. You can't work AL
falfa ground too much nor get the
seed bed too firm is the common
expression of many Sank Centre
Alfalfa growers. A firm seed bed
is especially important in dry
year.
The following are the exper-
fences of a few representative
Sank Centre Alfalfa growers. 1t
has been impossible for us to see
more than a small per cent of Sank
Centre farmers who have Alfalfa.
The following farmers give their
experiences for what they are
worth to all Alfalfa growers.

Herman Iwinski, well known

Mr.. Iwinski now has Is acres
of alfalfa on his place. He has
put in altogether seven seedlings OF

more about the crop each year.

Twelve acres of Alfalfa on the
place farmed by Mr.. Will Reese
just southeast of Sank Centre have
been lined with two ton of ground
limestone to the acre. It will be
interesting to watch the result of
this thing.
Mr.. Dubois states that they are
feeling their way in the use of
ground limestone. If it turns out
satisfactorily they will go ahead
and lime a good per cent of their
Alfalfa, especially older ground
and ground that is on the lighter
order.

An interesting development of
the success which Blue Valley has
had at Sank Centre with shipped
in Sweet Cream has been tn adop-
ton, at all Blue Valley creameries,
of system whereby a premium is
paid for such cream there too.
Blue Valley is the only large
creamery concern doing this con.
sistently everywhere, and farmers
all over the Mississippi Valley are
benefting by this Sank Centre sue
cess.
Direct Sale of Butter
The Blue Valley Butter made
here goes direct in carload lots to
the company's sales house in New
York City.
AS much of it as possible is
printed and packaged right here,
in order to give work to Sank Cen
ire people. The butter is packed
in the trade-marked blue and yell
low Blue Valley package, long es-
tablished in public estimation as
the sign of guaranteed high quail
ity and therefore always in great
demand.
The company's own trucks, each
manned by a salesman in a spotless
white suit, distribute the butter
made and packaged here in Sank
Centre, right to the high class
grocery stores, restaurants and no
tells in the largest and richest city
in the country.
Compliments the Herald
Space will not permit a write-up
of the Blue Valley Sweet Cream
Creamery itself. 1t is well known
to Herald readers. Situated prom
inently on Main Street it is
one of the most attractive and sub
stantial buildings in the city. Need
less to say, it is equipped with most
modern and sanitary appliances
and is constantly being inspected
by visiting creamery men and
farmers. Originally only a one
story building, the great volume of
cream entrusted to the company by
the farmers, soon made it necessary
to add another story and otherwise
enlarge the plant.
eve want to congratulate the
Herald on it's sixty years of sue
cess" said M. A. Nye, the popu-
lar manager in a recent call at the
Herald office. "No city would get
anywhere without a good newspa-
per, and the Herald may well feel
proud of it's share in making Sank
Centre a good town both for us
who live here and for the great
farming community which all of us
serve.
"The Sank Centre Herald is al
ways glad to get behind any wor-
thy enterprise that will benefit ag-
riculture. We have found it so
in our work of interesting people
in growing more alfalfa and in
other undertakings that will bring
prosperity to the farm. Thanks
largely to the cooperation of the
Herald, the alfalfa acreage on
Sank Centre farms mas increased
from about 200 acres four years
ago when Blue Valley first called
attention to its value, to about g.
900 acres this year. Considering
the benefits of alfalfa as feed for
milk cows, this is just one of the
community services on the part of
the Sank Centre Herald which
makes it a good newspaper.
"Blue Valley is proud to be part
of Sank Centre and its business
life. We all succeed in proportion
to the service we give the farmers,
and the Sank Centre Herald is to
be congratulated on the manner in
which it is doing its full share"

job of preparing ground for Alfal-
ia. You cant get the seed bed
too firm.
Mr.. Iwinski has very interesting
Alfalfa-lime experiment on his
place. He has lined five acres of
Alfalfa with ten ton of agricultur-
al limestone. He has left some of
this piece unlimed. MIR. Iwinsh
expects the Alfalfa that has been
lined to prove better in yield and
growth than the other. It will be
interesting to watch results on
this during the next few years.
Mr.. Iwinski likes to use a Gull
tipacker when seeding his Alfalfa.
A good practice is to go over the
ground once with a cultipacker af-
ter seeding, then leave the seeding
culeipacked in this way.

When the brasses and drums
and other blasting instruments
stopped their delierious crashing,
which even the most fertile imag-
ination disputed as music, and
settled down to pulsating rhythm
and melody we had an ingenious
jazz concert, entertaining and

night, at the Auditorium, under
the auspices of the Washington
Cooperative Artists Course.
The players, all noted leaders in
their profession, were personally
directed by the "Jazz King" who
rather inobtrusively, displayed
his amusing acrobatics of the
baton with now and then an
energetic dance step and metro
nomic head movements.
