Davies are writing about the matters they are studying. For the benefit of other young farmers, The Provo Post is publishing some of the selected artices. The following leads the series: ALFALFA By Clarence Ashton. Alfalfa is the oldest cultivated forage crop in tfye world and is at the present time considered the most valuable forage feed grown. In the west, alfalfa is grown extensively on nearly every farm of any consider-abl- e size and its value as a feed for all farm animals is appreciated by nearly all farmers, bu few men have time to study thia plant and learn of its habits and structure. The following are some interesting facts about this important crop: Alfalfa probably originated in Egypt abount 490 B. C., and today is known by many names. Alfalfa and lucern are the most common. Relationship: Alfalfa is a mem ber of the great family of legumes of which peas, beans, clover and Many many other plants belong. species of legumes that are closely related to alfalfa are natives of western United States, of which Austra-galu- s is most common. Roots: The alfalfa plant has a tap room system. The young plants send out one or two long slender roots which are covered with root hairs that gather the mineral food from the soil. The main roots continue to grow until the plant is filled, sometimes reaching a depth of sixty or eighty feet and it has been reported that alfalfa roots penetrated the roof of a tunnel one hundred and twenty-nin- e feet below the surface of an alfalfa field. Although the most common, length is from eighteen to thirty feet in a well drained soil. Stems and Leaves: The stems of alfalfa are a light green or sometimes brownish color averaging from eighteen to twenty inches high. If allowed to grow they reach six to seven feet high. The leaves are qlover shape and alternate all the way up the stem. Flowers and Seeds: The flowers are generally at the top of the stem, but are commonly seen on small branches all the way up. They are blue or yellow in color, blue being the most common color in the west. The seeds are born in a curled pod which looks like a coil of a spring, and are generally triangular in shape, although the natural shape is that of a kidney. They vary in color from yellow to brown. Varieties: There are many vari- ties of alfalfa but the most important are the Commoi and Grimm. Distributatioijus and Adaptations: Alfalfa is grown extensively throughout the western part of North and South America and Europe. Northern Africa produces it extensively also. It Is adapted to a deep, well drained soli rich in lime and other minerals. Alfalfa as a Farm Crop: Alfalfa like all other legumes has the power to take free nitrogen from the air and concentrate it Into a form available to plant life. Some of this nitrogen is fixed on the roots by the nitrogen fixation bacteria in the form of little balls or noduls, which when the alfalfa is plowed up, breaks down and mixes with the soil in a form such that other plants can use it. This greatly enriches the soil, ensuring crop yield much more abundantly on alfalfa ground that has just been broken up. The power to enrich the soil and the value of this plant as a feed for animals makes it a very important crop and is considered by progressive farmers in almost all rotation plans. enp,e j ns j Glasses at Wholesale EXAMINATION $3.00 You pay $3.00 to have your examined, and get your glasses for the same price you would have to pay any wholesale optical comeyes pany in the state. j j on everyone who goes there. his duty, a protest is entered against the modern dresser and - grows when the entire party has become on trout dinners and the nure, who in the cause of absolute asepsis too often disturb open satiated wounds and ulcers.

Sometimes the best way. to tighten a bond is to make it as loose as possible. In the eighteenth century the British tried to tie the knot too tight and lost the American colonies.
