NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS WI TWO PRIZES Fargo, N.sD., Dec, 20.—The win- ning of first prize in both alfalfa and sweet clover seed at the Initer- national Grain and Hay show, held recently at Chicago, by the Stebbins Bros. of near Milnor, N. D., is an un- usual if\not unprecedented feat, ac- }y cording to H. L. Walster, agronomist of the North Dakota Agricultural |College here. “The North Dakotan’s won against keen competition, according to the agronomist, for both Minnesota and Canada, who were the respective winners of these honors last year were at the show with splendid sam- ples of seed. Canada won second in alfalfa this year. In this conection the agronomist declared ‘that North Dakotan’s are not keeping enough of the Grimm alfalfa seed at home to replant on North Dakota prairies. Ninety per- cent of the seed grown in this state is being sold to, the alfalfa planters of other states, he adds. Not only should more seed be retained in the ‘state for the purpose of raising still more seed, but also it should be |grown more generally for feed. It is also pointed out that most of the North -Dakota land is being in- noculated so that the seeding of al- falfa is not as uncertain as it was in the beginning. This year the state had 21,397 acres of alfalfa and 150,- 897 acres of sweet clover and thc two crops are spreading so rapidly that.even the alfalfa is adopting the custom of the sweet clover and is habitating itself by the roadside and in uncultivated places, There are several examples of this kind of al- falfa seeding in North Dakota this year. je “For Sale—Choice Canary Singers.
