The Right Time
to Cut Alfalfa
There is a right time to cut al
falfa for obtaining the most hay
during a season and for the good of
the crop. Many reasons are given
by men raising this crop for the
time they cut for their hay and
possibly the man who has no reason
i but cuts his crop on the same date
each year is as near right as many
of the others. However, there is a
certain stage at which you may get
the maximum "feed" in your al
falfa hay and not Injure the follow
ing crop.
If we cut alfalfa too young we
get a larger percentage of water
and less dry matter and the hay
shrinks badly. If we cut the crop
too Ute we not only get "stemmy
hay but also lose valuuble feed in
shattered leaves and injure the fol
lowing crop. In case of backward
spring weather or attacks by in
sects the first crop may not make
No. 1 hay but it is necessary that it
be harvested, whatever its condi
tion, in order that the following
crop may not be injured and may
make a good crop. The same may
be true but seldom the same year
of a second crop when drought or
insects set It back.
The time to cut first year alfalfa,
if there are many weeds in the
field, is when the weeds begin to
shade the alfalfa but do not cut too
low. Never cut new alfalfa too
close to the ground. The time to
cut the "set" field of alfalfa for
hay is when the following crop be
gins to grow, indicated by new
sprouts from the crown. The crop to
be harvested will improve but little
under almost any condition after
this time and it is best to get it of!
the ground as soon as possible in
order that the following crop may
do its best.
It pays to watch for these sprouts
especially for determining the time
for the first cutting. Try it and see.

Crops Look Fine
96 the Hottest Day
Lout Friday's rain was worth
thousands of dollars to the farmers
of Crook county. It put the finish
ing touches, so to speak, on the
growing crops and makes assurance
doubly sure of a bumper yield.
Four-tenths of an Inch of moisture
fell Jurlng this last rain, according
to the government record kept by
Mrs. T. M. Baldwin. The total
amount of moisture for June to
date Is seven-tenths of an Inch. On
the 10th of this month Mrs. Bald
win completed her first year as
government weatherman and dur
ing that time her records show, a
precipitation of 16 Inches. This
should be enough to guarantee
good crops along all lines. The
late rein followed by warm weather,
is making ideal growing conditions.
Tuesday, June 16, was the hottest
day so far this year. The govern
ment thermometer registered 96 in
the shade. It has been 94 several
times, Mrs. Baldwin says.

A Bucking Bronk
Breaks Man's Leg
Alonzo L. Cooley was brought
down from Bonnyview Farm Tues
day to have his broken leg ex

last week after work hours that a
number of men employed on the
Gray place and on the grade de
cided to have a bucking contest. A
collection of 12.90 was taken up for
the man who could stick on to a
tough old bronk, noted for his foot
and back work. During the exhi
bition the horse jumped on Cooley,
a spectator, and broke his leg. The
bone protruded through the skin
Dr. Edwards had his patient
brought to town for the X-ray ex
