Brown writes from Georgia Say Mr. Farmer, why don't you raire seme alfalfa for your cattle? It doesn't pay when wheat is $2. Too much trouble to get a stand. Oh I think you are mistaken. How do you figure it? Well sup pose we say you get 30 bushels per acre at $2 per bushel or $00. That would be pretty good would it not? You did not get an ayerage of 80 buus hels did you No I guess not. Well we will call it that. Suppose we say I get" 8 tons of alfalfa trt $25 per ton that would be fair, or $75 per acre would it not. Then let's see how the next season finds us. You get a j h plowiug and no return, only expense on that acre, so we can only give you G0 gross for I years. I get my little old 3 tons again or $150 for the two yeais. Huy gennerally sells for $25 per Km where wheat $2 per bushel, and 3 tons of alfalfa is more conservative than 30 bushels of wheat. I have the assurance by irrigation of getting my 3 tons of alfalfa, but do you have any assurance of getting !i0 bushels of wheat? But Mr. Farmer says you have to pay $00 per acre lor your water, what aoout that? That's u perpetual right and when it is paid it goes with the land fortver. you find out that your land would mature wheat? Hy trying it or by watching my neighbors. Oh! By trying it, hut you tiaye not tried alfalfa have )ou? And you haven't noticed your neighbor Brown, Ilennehan, Cx or W"od side have you. The all hiive alfalfa growing. Did you Bee Wallers hauling that n!fnlfa to the R. R ? It sold for $27 to $31 per ton. Then there is that gar den and that corn patch and that orchard that would look heller too if you irrigated a little, It's too much wmk.to irrigate, interposed Mr. Farmer. Well, let's see, you plow a ml so wheat for every crop and harvest it with a large crew etc. When alfalfa is planted yen cut it and stack it, the tirst two cultings before the time to harvest grain, that apportions your work so that you are not idle' and then rushed to death, in harvest.
