Uy W. L. POWEHS. Tho Increasing demand for alfalfa seed has mado nocesssry the importa tion of 3,000,000 pounds annually. This seed could be readily grown at homo. Tho localities best suited to alfalfa seed production nro those of but moderate precipitation and com paratively high temperatures as tbe soed ripens. Tho yery best seed Is grown under dry farming or with light Irrigation. Prof. Bcudder of tho O. A. C. has been a firm advocate of alfalfa seed production In Eastern Oregon, and wo aro now attempting to demon strate the practicability of producing this seed in cultivated rows on the Metollus experiment field, with good prospects of success. Select medium deep soli that has been clean fallowed or in cultivation. Double disc, and plow In autumn. If early spring plowing Is used, tho ground should be disced and then plowed six inches deep, then firmed with tbe Campbell aubsurface packer. Follow this up with frequent cultiva tion to destroy weeds, fine the soil and conserve tho moisture till seed ing time. A variety of seed In demand and a good one to grow here Is tbe Grimm's alfalfa. In any case use mature northern grown seed. For seed pro duction tho stand must be thin. Do sure to provide a fine, moist, level, firm seed bed which Is entirely free from weeds. Seeding may bo done In tbe lower part of the county about tbe mlddto of April and In the higher altitudes threo or four weeks later. It Is best to use a double disc press drill with press wheel and gross box attach ments and seed 1 Vi to 2 Inches deep. For seed production stop up part of the holes, seed In double rows about ,2 feet apart, using 2 or 3 pounds of seed per acre. Good Money Crop. ' The seeding should be followed with a Dunham packer or corrugated roller to firm tbe soil and leave a (light mulch. No nurse crop should bo used, except that whero soil blow ing Is troublesome a drill row of bar- ,ley may be added between each dou ble row of alfalfa and cultivated out at tho first cultivation. Thorough. 'level cultivation should bo given, and 'the growth clipped back with sicklo ibar set high once or twice the first year. The following spring the disc or alfalfa barrow may be run cross wise the rows to loosen weeds and to thin out. The wholo season's growth shuld bo used for seed here, though ', a little early pasturing or early clip ping may be necessary to retard tho blooming till dry July weather. Mod erate growth, abundant blossom and abseneo of second growth Indicate t g00jJ 8e(1 yjejj. Rolling to lodge tho alfalfa when In btoom may check growth and help polleuate tho flow ers. Alfalfa Is cut for seed when two-thirds of tho pods are turned nearly brown, using a bunoher at tachment or reaper. It Is thrown Into small cocks or stacked and then threshed with a regular huller on the ordinary tbrnlep when properly equipped. Alfalfa grown for seed production, especially on dry land or whero Irrigation Is limited, will make a good taonoy crop, and ono that can be shipped to distant markets. It is also an excellent crop for restor ing soil fertility. WH.Ii VOTE ON HIGH SCHOOU MVDRAS. July 30.
