Success With Alfalfa.
The adaptability of the soil about
Dallas to the production of alfalfa is
becoming more apparent as experi
ments in progress are proving. The
latest example of what can be dono
in raising this highly profitable for
age crop is reported by C. Winter,
who lives on the Veazie place, on the
northern edge of town. He has had
five acres planted there, and the
first cut yielded him 16 tons of hay,
and the second crop is now eight
inches hiirh and growing rapidly.
He is a firm believer in alfalfa cul
ture for this locality, and believes
that there will be no dilficulty in es
tablishing it if ordinary care is used.
