Weather Bureau Tells Of Alfalfa Seed vs. Frost The U. S. Weather Bureau map of Feb. 10, 1950 carries on the back a full page story with pictures on alfalfa seed production in west Millard and the importance of the frost warnings. The material was compiled by John W. Scotton and gives figures on the size of the seed crop and what damage by frost means. The map was sent to Leigh Max field by Charles Peppard in Kansas Kan-sas City. Mr. Maxfield is keeping the map at his office where anyone any-one interested may see it. Part of the information in the article was got by Archer B. Carpenter Car-penter of the Salt Lake weather bureau, through talks With local seed men and Frank S. Beckwith of the Chronicle. For the past two seasons through cooperation of the weather bureau the Chronicle has given out the weather forecasts. They intend to do so again this year, for it is a comfort to those trying to decide whether to cut or not to cut. On the other hand, it sometimes scares the daylights out of anxious seed raisers. All this was reported in the U. S. weather bureau article.
