It was recently discovered in Oregon, California, Idaho, Colorado and Massachusetts and along the Atlantic coast and has been known to exist in South Africa and was probably introduced into this country through i the seed. There was a serious dying out of the alfalfa in different places in the Basin last winter and this spring and while the cause has not been definitely determined the symptoms are identical with those of the alfalfa stem nematode.

Department of Agriculture, vlll spend a week or two in the Uintah Basin studying this problem but from what I have been able to see from the condition of the fields, I am almost certain that this pest twine placed arourjd them, the ends deftly tied and the bundles dropped in rows behind the machine; or machines that would go still farther and thresh the grain and drop the sacks of grain at regular intervals; machinery that would dig and sort potatoes, or machinery that woula will be discovered.

Dark clouds have been hanging over farming; there is a kind of farming, however, that means success and a kind that will mean only failure. The manufacturers of farming machinery report something less d as many farm imthan plements sold in 1923 to American farmers as were sold in 1914. Farmers claim that the purchasing power of their dollar to be so low that they have beenj too poor to purchase new machines, and they have had to polish up their old ones. However, they have been surprised at how well the old machine worked. A young farmer told me he had picked up an old self bidder for $40 that had been left in a fence corner as .useless and that it had done all hi3 work in that line for the last five years. This is an example of 'what has been going on over the And a hard times whole country. that will teach us a better care of farm equipment will place a rim of silver above any cloud that may threaten farming, for its like burning the house down to make money to leave good farming machinery out in the fields to rot. We have a way in America of always saving our best regards for the new machine that everything must be new to have value. It would seem that some people will value a machine highly until they own it, then interest flags, and thru a lack of care, the machine is allowed to become almost worthless. I have thought sometimes that it would be well if county fairs would offer attractive prizes for the best preserved machine registering the greatest service. There was a time when people lived on the farm and were half killed in the process. Inveri'ive genius came to the rescue and literally created machines with fingers of steel, so sensitive, that bundles of grain were gathered and so easily neglect, that a transmissacsion of some of the inventors ALFALFA SEED PRODUCTION BUILDS NEAT BUNGALOW A rjeat T EsSJ BROS.

The demonstrator looked hopelessly at great waving fields of grain and thought how easily the whole thing could be dorp with his machines. Presently a rumble was heard. Such a sound had never broken that stillness before and the great machine moved out under the expert hand of the demonstrator. Its fingers of steel gathered arid tied thtir grain into bundles and dropped them at their feet. Superstition received a rude shock, for the machine spoke to them in the terms of a brother.
