How 10,000 Acres of Alfalfa
Change Community Life
Marines (luard Liberty Bel]
THIRTY acres of alfalfa on every
farm would change American
, rural life as much as the coming
»i'f the automobile.
That is the contention of M. a.
Nye. representing the Rlue Valley
Creamery Institute Farm Service, at
Unuk Center, Minn., and who Is
largely responsible for the 10.000
Acre Alfalfa Club here, the first of
its kind m the world
The Institute la co-operating with
farmers, banker* and business men
In many sections in establishing
more ?f the club*
/.I'm! fa. if managed properly,"
rays Nye. "can bring the farmer n
r?(her life On the basts of profits
from acreage around Sauk Center
we estimate there will be an addt
ttona, community profit of $300,000 a
year a* a result of the 10.000 feres
of alfalfa "
Bank Centers alfalfa club got*
back three years, a few farmer* in
i vicinity had grown alfalfa for
years, but most of them had gone
right on planting hay without regard
for the superior qualities of alfalfa.
\n 1923 a survey by the institute
told of the profit* to be made from
f * campaign was rerun.
In 1$2» the acreage had junr r-ed from
too acres to 2600 and It.. t* «*pcc‘ed |
M. A. Njr«
to reailee the 10,000 acre goal within
9 few yeara.
