MORE ALFALFA TO BE GROWN IN CASS Hundreds of Farmers Get1 Good Stands and Improve Soils With This Iejuinic. j Cas county is preparing to great-j ly increase its alfalfa acreage this I year. Farmers are daily placing j orders with the live co-operative j stations for alfalfa seed. For the past two years Fasn county has more than tripled its acrt-age of alfalfa and there are indications that this year especially will see a substantial increase. The fact that! corn and other crops have not paid 1 well during the past year may b? t one rea-son why some farmers are j Koing. to Krow alfalfa. Another reason which is fully ac-j eepted i.s that alfalfa has clone welli in the county. Hundreds of farm-; i ers liave been very successful in getting good stands the first year. This naturally Lads others to try it. Still one of the biggest factors and vuy essential ir, the matter of soil imliniv.itnr.il f i ,r l r-n I'l-'l TUn nri...r. presen acreage is considered by n.any to j excess threr thousand acres. I Clover acreage which was in cxCfss of 7 500 acres has decreases, during the jast two soawns.

Some faiioers do not have tb.ir dairy cattle leMod fur tuberculosis, because they believe they tan tell from observation whether or not the animal is infected. As a matter of fact, oftimes the animals that look the most healthy are most badly infected. The animal shown above weighed around l'.no pounds, had no cough, ate well, and had 'ots of pep. When tested and found to have the disease it was slaughtered and found to be so rotten with tuberculosis that it could be us. l 'only for tankage and grease, brintring for that purpose 1.4.'..
