Alfalfa Seed Crop Little Larger Tlian Last Year Alfalfa seed production is estimated by the United Stales Fpartinenit of Agriculture to be about 4S,000,-00- 0 46,000,-00- 0 pounds, compared-witpounds last year. Three hundred twenty growers whose aggregate production last year am: unted to pounds, .r about 8 per cent of the total crop of the United States, indicated that their acreage cut for seed this year exceeded that of last year by 5 per cent. Yields in many sections were reduced by dry, hot weather during the summer but in other sections weaither conditions were more favorable than last year. Injury from frost was even less than last year, when most of the crop was harvested before killing frosts. The production in central and northern states or districts, with a few exceptions, was larger than last year while in states to dhe south Ithe crop was smaller. The larger production in Utah, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma and probably in the Dakotas and Kansas more than offsets the decreased production in Idahu, Texas, New Mexico, and probably Arizona and California. Prices offered to growers on September 29 were about the same as or somewhat lower than last year in important producing districts. They ranged from $13.35 in northwestern Kansas and $14 in western Colorado to $16 in southern Arizona and $18 in Montana, all per 100 C. F. WAHLQUIST, Vice-Prt- s.

Therefore, it is about time to think of him. Utah will, this year, in keeping with her records of the last few years, supply a large number of fine turkeys to the markets of the country. Production in the state is ex. pected to drop behind last year, due to spring weather conditions extremely unfavorable to tender young turkeys, hut the Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative assn., which handles most 'of the states turkeys cooperatively, is assured the quality ji will be better.
