THREATEN LIFE OF ALFALFA TO MAKE IT PRODUCE SEED Chicago, Feb. 23.— “ Death threats" to a plant are found necessary in Utah to make alfalfa produce seed and tljat the threatening of the life of this plant has been effective is shown by the fact that this state holds the alfalfa area production record of the world. This remarkable agricultural phenomenon is revealed In a survey of the allalfa situation just completed by the Blue Valley Creamery Institute of Chicago, which for four years has been organizing 10,000 Acre Alfalfa Clubs throughout the Mississippi Valley. Alfalfa in Utah Is grown at an alti-j tude of front 4,700 to 5,500 feet where j temperatures ranging from 10 to 30 i degrees below zero are common In j winter and in a section of the country where irrigation is necessary. When the alfalfa seed growers find that the plant is not producing the seed as it should, they withdraw its ‘‘drink supply” and the plant, feeling that Its life is at stake, starts to seed. This is not the technical way of putting It, but that is what happens. Fifty per cent of the available supply of dependable alfalfa seed for 1928 sowing was grown in Utah, the survey shows, and if Arizona, Texas and New Mexico seed are classified as non-hardy or unadaptable for midwestern and eastern states, then between 60 and 70 per cent of the supply of hardy alfalfa 11 is Utah grown. The two chief alfalfa seed producing regions of the world lie in Utah, with elevations much higher and colder than most of the alfalfa seed sections geographically farther north. Utah also is the only state which has 5 not Imported any seed for forty years. In 1927 the Utah alfalfa crop was 14,688,000 lbs. Its nearest rival was Idaho, with 10,000,000 lbs. The 1926 Utah output was 17,256,000 lbs., with Kansas second with 6,642,000 lbs., while the 1925 record for Utah was 26,340,000 lbs., with Idaho, South Dakota and Arizona tied for second place. There probably will be a severe shortage of hardy alfalfa seed in 1928 the Institute survey states. The 1927 crop is estimated to total 50,000,000 lbs., compared with a domestic yield of around 57,495,000 lbs. in 1926 and 49,000,000 lbs. in 1925. Canada furnished us 5,000,000 lbs. last year, as against only 500,000 lbs. for this year’s seeding.
