For the past hundred years, alfalfa has been synonymous with hay in fact, alfalfa as a hay crop has had much to do with the rapid settling of the West. But something has happened to these ranges. There is scarcely a western State that supports as many units of livestock as it did 50 years ago, this in spite of irrigation, fertilization, new varieties, etc. Some of the reasons are: (1) replacement of original cover by other plants of little or no forage value, (2) replacement of perennials by annuals, (3) erosion and (4) reduction of organic pet-acr- matter. Commercial nitrogen, fall applied, often means the difference between success and failure in grass seeding on range land. It can increase the yield of our native grasses amazingly.

While the politicos back fn Washington are playing guessing games about what President Eisenhower is going to do, come 1956, the same procedure, with just as much intensity, is going in Utah. There are a great number of people who will lay bets that Gov. J. Bracken Lee is thorugh politically after his recent, widestatements back ly publicised East. But this firm conviction isnt stopping those people from worwhat rying overtime about Oov. T e plans to do with his time after he winds up his sec ond term as governor. Not many people feel the governor will shoot for a third term. The big argument here is that he could not do so and be consistent with past remarks about of being too long in dishonesty one office. And inconsistency is not a thing the governor can usually be accused of. Naturally, the hottest rumor that Gov. Lee will forsake the green pastures of Utah for the greener ones in Washington. There are still those who will tell you the governor is trying to build up interest in a third party movement which would head the Utah chief executive toward the White House. A far more logical explanation is that the governor has his eye on a seat in the U. S. Senate is chambers. If the sentiments expressed by Gov. Lee in Chicago and New York were anything new, there could be some depth to the third party whispers. The fact is, Utahs controversial governor said exactly the same things back east as he has long said privately here at home. The only difference is, there was more hubbub raised nationally when the statements were made nationally. One Utahn who is not ready to count Gov. Lee out as ready for the political graveyard is Sen. Wallace F. Bennett. The whispeis keept growing that Gov. Lee is aming for a showdown with Sen. Bennett in the 1956 primary election. The constitutional barrier which says governors should not run for the Senate during the term to which they are elected will not be an insurmountable one. Wyomings Supreme Court and also the U. S. Supreme Court has ruled that no state constiution can bar a man from becoming a Senator if he is qualified under the federal constitution. With Lee!s term as governor ending just a few months past election there would be even more reason for the court to hold with the precendents already set in Wyoming and other states. The one man who knows, if anyone does, what Gov. Lee plans to do is simply not talking. That is Gov. Lee himself. But there is one thing sure. Utahns ought not count the governor among the political dead-woo- d too soon. No matter what he decies to do himself, he will be a big issue in some facet of the 1956 election. we Thursday of safety.
