Dry land crops and hardy alfalfa expansion
Professor C V Liper of the U S Department of Agriculture says demand for drought resistant grasses grows in arid West and South regions and seeks permanent dry land farming crops. The Department scouts Manchuria and China for grasses and legumes, reports promising results including hardy alfalfa varieties thriving in Minnesota, the Dakotas, and the Euphrates valley. Arabian alfalfa yields 12 cuttings in Arizona and California, due to rapid growth and cool weather tolerance. Alfalfa proves adaptable to nearly every eastern state with proper treatment, signaling major agricultural shifts east of the Mississippi.
