L. W. Fluharty, who has proved one of the great drawing cards of the week, dealt graphically with the methods of seeding alfalfa and clover in the Palouse. He advocated a light nurse crop, declaring that wheat and barley make the most satisfactory nurse crop for the Palouse country. The rate of seeding the nurse crop should not be more than two-thirds of the regular seeding quantity. Clover and alfalfa should be sown at the rate of from six to eight pounds per acre. Mr. Fluharty demonstrated that the chief factors causing failure with the clover and alfalfa crop in this region were lack of proper preparation of the seed-bed; poor seed; foul land; and late seeding. Mr. Fluharty is a graduate of the university, and it is a source of great pride to his instructors that his career has been so extremely successful. He is an excellent talker. He has knowledge and he knows how to impart it pleasingly and intelligibly.

Mr. Iddings's resume of the experimental projects conducted jointly by the departments of dairying, animal husbandry, and field crops in silage production was most illuminating. Silage of various compositions are being tried out for their effects on beef and dairy cattle. Wheat, vetch, corn, peas, and oats were all compared. Excellent results have been obtained in beef cattle feeding and in milk production by the use of peas and oat silage.
