The Pioneer believes that the letter should be printed and placed before the voters of the sixty-second legis- lative district and will make an ef- fort to seecure it and do s One of the meritorious amend- ments to the state constitution, num- ber three, whereby the state legis- lature can provide protection for its people from the proceeds derived from the sale of state lands and tim- ber, thus putting the state land in a selfsupporting condition and doing away with a yearly appropriation from taxes, is rapidly gaining in strength and there is every indica- tion that it will be approved and passed, as should be the case, at the polls November third Interested in Alfalfa. The interest which northern Min- nesota is taking in alfalfa is empha- sized by all who have been in toucl: with the change in agricultura} methods which has taken place in this tion within the past two or three years. At nearly every farm- ers’ meeting the production of al- falfa in this northern country is given special attention and some di- rections. for its growth usually dis- cussed. Every farmer in Beltrami county should grow alfalfa. First, because it will furnish the cheapest and most valuable forage crop that can be grown on the farm. Second, it enriches the soil by tak- ing nitrogen from the air and placing it in the soil in an available form for plant growth. Third, it puts the soil in good mechanical condition by adding humas in the form of roots, which repidly decay when the al- falfa is broken up? Fourth, the cost is low if the field is left in alfalfa more than two years, when compared with the cereal crops. Alfalfa will generally do well ‘on any soil that is adapted to the pro- duction of wheat. The soil that will produce the best crops of wheat will undoubtedly produce the best crops of alfalfa. Alfalfa likes a well drained, rich loamy soil. It will do well on the sandy loams and even on the very sandy soils where wheat will not thrive. It will also do well on the stiff, heavy clays, provided such soils are well drained. Alfalfa should not be planted on soils which may become water-logged or on land where water collects on the surface in the spring. When this condition prevails, the plants are almost cer- tain to be killed. Alfalfa does not thrive if the sub-soil is composed of coarse gravel, shale, or compact rocks. The presence of alkali in the soil in ‘considerable quantity is detri- mental to its best development, al- though it will grow in as alkaline a soil as any other farm crop. As a general rule it is a good plan to put the alfalfa on the best land on the farm, particularly the first time it is planted. Too much care cannot be used in the selection of a loamy, well drain- ed and -well situated soil. As the acreage of alfalfa is increased our less suitable types of soil may be used, but at the beginning the al- falfa should be sown only on the best types of soil.

(By Peter Radford, Lecturer National Farmers’ Union. ). Agriculture needs all the great men it can get. In union there is strength and in co-operation there is profit. The farmer can neither help himself nor be helped by others until he organizes. The economic distribution of farm products is today the world’s greatest problem. Our transportation sys- tems are the dray carts of agriculture and can be made capable peddlers of farm pro- ducts. dok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok k¥ * ok ok ok ok k ok k ok Kk okk ok ok ok ok ok ok kok ok ok ok P KEK KK KKK KKK KKK K keep them there.—Barnum Herald. —— Any man who has tramped the rocky hills of the extreme northern St. Louis county will believe in re- forestration.
