P, H, iobel and H. Von Barren, two of
Box Butte county's progressive farmers,
called at The Herald office while in Alliance
last Saturday for a little visit and added
their words of endorsement and encourage
ment to the many we are receiving in re
gard to The Herald's agricultural depart
ment. They are quite interested in
alfalfa growing and like others, who are
well acquainted with this country and
have given closo attention to this matter,
are enthusiastic, in their endorsement
of the methods of seeding, growing and
the selecting and testing of seeds as advo
cated by Prof. Hunt. Herald subscribers,
who have been reading Prof, Hunt's arti
cles on alfalfa growing, know something of
how much be emphasizes the importance
of getting a good stand the first year. , Mr.
Von Bargen has some very fine alfalfa and
endorses the position taken by Prof. Hunt
on this point In particular. He claims
that if a good stand is secured tho first
year that that will insure excellent crops
subsequently, but If on account of. seed
being 'poor or for other reasoni the stand
oi young alfalfa is poor that it is very diffi
cult if not altogether impossible to make
thick enough afterwards. Not only docs
a poor stand give the weeds a chance to
grow but In trying to get young alfalfa
after the first year's seeding the old alfal
fa chokes out the young plant.
