I The results from plats hertofor# seed-

to both the farmers and the M. K. *
T. that the road has decided to offer
exceptionally favorable terms to the
farmers who will seed the land to al-

It Is suggested that farmers see the
local agent, or section boss, and ar-
range to break out the sod and'pfcnt
to cotton, cowpeas, potatoes or pea-
nuts as a preparation for seeding to
alfalfa next fall or spring. If the land
is already In cultivation It could bo

case the seed bed should be well fin-
ed and packed as deep as the plow
ran. Use about fifteen pounds of the
best seed per acre. '
