This seed could be readily grown at home. The to localities best suited to Alfalfa seed production are .those of moderate precipitation and com paratively high temperatures as the seed ripens. The very best seed is grown under dry farming or light irrigation. Prof. Scudder of the 0: A; G has been a firm advocate of al falfa seed production in Eastern Oregon, and we are now at tempting to demonstrate the practibility of producing this seed in cultivated rows on the Metolius experiment field with good prospects of success. CULTURE. Select medium deep 'soil that has been clean fallowed or in cul tivated crops. Double Disc, and plow in autumn. If early spring plowing is. used, the ground should be disced and then plowed six inches deep, then firmed with the Campbell sub-surface packer. Follow this - up with frequent cultivations to destroy weeds, fine the soil, and con serve moisture till seeding time. A variety of seed in demand. and a good one to grow is the Gnm's Alfalfa. In any case use mature northern grown seed. For seed production the stand must be thin. Be sure to provide a fine, mist, level, firm seed bed which is entirely free from weeds. Seeding may be done in lower part of the country about the middle of April and in the high er altitudes three or four weeks later. It is best to use a double disc press drill with press wheel and gross box attachments and seed 11 or 2 inches deep. For seed production stop up part of the holes, seed in double rows about 2 feet apart using 2 or 3 lbs. of seed per acre. The seeding should bo follow. ed with a packer or corrugated roller to firm the" soil and leave a light mulch. No nurse crop should be used, except that where soil blowig i: troublesome, a drill row of barley may be seeded between each double row of alfalfa and cultivated out at the first cultivation. Th level cultivation should bo triven and the growth clipped back with sickle bar set high once or twice the first year. The following spring the disc or alfalfa harrow may be run crosswise the rows to loosen weeds and thin out. The whole seasons growth should be used for seed here, tho a little early pasturing or early clipping may be necessary to retard the blooming till dry July weather. Moderate growth, abundent blos soms and absence of second growth indicate good seed yield Rolling to lodge the afalf a when in bloom may check growth and help pollonate the flowers. Al falfa is cut for seed when two- thirds of the pods are turned nearly brown, using a binder at tachment or reaper. It is thrown into small cocks or stacked and then thrashed with a regular hul ler on the ordinary thrasher ' when properly equipped. Alfal fa grown for seed production, especially on dry land or where irrigation is limited, will make a good money crop and one that can be shipped, to distant mar kets and it is an excellent erop for resoring soil fertili y.
