Alfalfa, no one-of the most staple crop
of th t and middle WMt, with a con
stantly growing value, will be the subject
of on of the motrt elaborate and detailed
exhibits at the Omaha land show. The al
falfa exhibit la to be put on by th North

the cultivation of the crop along lta lines.
Alfalfa has 'proven a regenerator of the
soil, beside a highly productive feed crop.
Land value Increases wherever alfalfa Is
grown.
The exhibit wll take up the culture ot
alfalfa with Illustrations pertaining to I 1
adaptation to various soils, and will carry
the crop through to the feeding proceesee.
The exhibit whlclTth Northwestern Is to
have Installed at the show will occupy a
generous space. , It will be under the di
rection, of "William James of Dorchester,
Neb.,' one of-' the' country's foremost stu
dents of alfalfa. Mr. James had charge of
the alfalfa exhibit at the National Corn
expositions In Omaha and at the Trans

' Back In the years of the conquest or
Mextao by the Spaaiards the American his
tory of alfalfa began. The story of trie
Importatfon ' of the plant from the plains
f northern Africa is but Incidental to the
gory chapter history has written, of tne
Bpanlsb Invaders. . In Mexican and South
A mad rail aalla 'the alfalfa, took root and
flourished; , thence It was carried north
along the Pacific coast Into southern Cali
fornia. In restricted districts In earlier
years alfalfa attracted some attention by
Its values as A food for live stock. But it
was not until Harrison Parker, a civil en
gineer ' from Kansas, saw the luxuriant
fields of wild' alfalfa growing In the valley
of the Plata in South America, that the
new forage plalif got Its Introduction to
the middie west.
Ail this waa years ago. Now oomes a
new chapter In the story of alfalfa. All
that has gone before In the history of the
plant has been accidental. The modern ro
mance Ilea la the eventful search for a
I ardy alfalfa Conducted by Prof. Niele E.
Haneea of South Dakota by exploration
beset with hardships In the cold northern
steppee of Siberia. . .
At the Omaha "land show this month.
Prof. Hansen will tell, for himself, some
thing of the experiences of this strange
Journey through wildest Asia in search of
Lfce yeitww bleeaorat-d alfalfa which ruram
hecaea. Prof. Ilanaen alii lecture on al
falfa culture, editing interesting touches
out of the wealth of hta experience. Seeds
worth far more thaa their weight la gold,
because of the money. time. skill
and human suffering expended In their
gathering In the Asiatic wilds., are to give
agriculture a nsw scope in the' West and
northwest. - " r

' By breeding and CToes-breedlBg - the
various strain. Prof. Hansen expect ta
product an alfalfa .which will flourishila
even the coldest section of tho United
States and far Into the Canadian north
west. The success which may be expected
to attend his efforts is rendered more se
cure in a review ot Prof. Hansen' past
accomplishments in extending the northern
boundaries of the cultivated plants of
American agricultural value. Score of
small fruits specially adapted to the chill
north climate have been produced by Prof.
Hansen. Through crosses between culti
vated and native stocks he has enabled
the fruit farmer to produce the same lus
cious berry In the northland that I grown
under the mors favorable condition of
the great fruit regiana of the south. '
The value of Prof. Hansen's work In the
Improvement of alfalfa and Its adaptation
to the conditions of the north 1 recog
nised In a most material way by the
Northwestern line's exhibit. The work of
the Northwestern In the promotion of the
culture of alfalfa will mean an Increase
In value for every acre of land along those
sections of the road where field are
planted to the crop. And with this in
crease In land values will eome an In
crease In the earning power of the land,
dollar for dollar In value. The North
western exhibit will Illustrate In detail
the best that agriculturalclence teaches
of the production and utilisation of alfalfa.
