FIND ALFALFA
DEFIES DROUTH
Creeping Variety From
Turkey Used in Mid
West Area

WASHINGTON. April Is. 800
Creeping alfalfa taken from Il
stony goat pasture in Northern
Turkcy has been successfully
tranSplantcd in the Scmi-arid re-
CionS of the middle west.
The new typC---to the western
hcmisphcrc-of alfalfa promises
to be- valuable grazing and soil
building plant in the great plains
area, according to Fl. l.. West
over forage specialist of the de-
nartmCnt Of agriculture.
WcStovcr discovered creeping
alfalfa on . rocky hillside where
il had grown for centuries. Goat
herds drove their flOckS over 1t
before Christ was born. 1t has
withstood long drouths almost tcv-
cry for many centuries.
NO SEED AVAILABLE
For days Wcstovcr and others
from the department Of aglIcuI.
turc bureau Of plant industry
searched for seeds. But the goats
had grazcd the pasture 80 closely
that it was impossible to find any.
Nor could seed be found for pur-
chase.
Finaey, WeStovcr dug up Il root
from the stony ground. packed II
carefully in moist earth and ship
ped it 5000 miles to Washington.
Ey careful cultivation agricul-
tural scientists obtained 200
PLANTS from the original root by Il
series of stem cuttings. These
were sent to an experiment sta
ton near HyanniS. Ncb.
Cuttings in 30-inch rows in the
sand hill country of Nebraska sent
out shoots that rerOOtCd the first
season as far as II inches from
the crown. II survived the drouthS
we'll. Similar studies are to be
made in other states.
CANNOT BE MOVED
The plant is a poor seed pro
Queer and does not grow high
enough for moving. which limits
It's use to grazing and, because OF
It's strong root system, to protec-
ton against crOSOin.
AlfalfaS are naturally semi
arid plants, but the growth habits
of the new creeping alfalfa and
the conditions under which it was
found indicate it is even better
equipped to withstand close graz
ing and drouth conditions, West
