THE COMING GRASS PLANT,

Yisld aaA Farm.
We had supposed that every farmer
In Colordo knew all about Alfalfa, but
It seems We were mistaken In our be-
lief, for now comes . man in the Sau
Luis valley who wants Us to tell him all
about the wonderful plant. as he is
thinking some Of raising it on his farm.
Alfalfa, or lucerne as 1t is called in
Canada, IL q hardy perennial closely re-
sembNng clover and knewn to science
~ Medicago Sativa. It is raised extern
sively for pasture and hay in Colorado,
California, Utah and grows successfully
in Texas, New York and throughout
the western states. The seed should be
sown broadcast At the rite of q half
bushel or thirty pounds per acre on a
well prepared seedbed. and lightly har-
rowed or brushed in; care being taken
not to cover too deeply.
Severe frosts will kill 1t until one or
with grain crop, the whole being cut
again the first year. In Colorado some
OF the more enterprising farmers have
experlmented with seeding alfalfa in
the open months of winter-February
and March-and have succeeded ad-
mirablY, so they claim. Others seed 1t
in the mild days of November Indian
summer, and have it in the ground for
the SHOWS of winter, which do not hurt
it.
kThe second year it will reach
growth from which may be cut four or
five crops of hay of one and half or
two tons each per acre. II not pastur-
cd too closely or water allowed to stand
on it, alfalfa will continue to grow
many years, some fields seeded twenty
years ago being as good as ever. It
will produce greater yield by irriga-
ton but will stand severe drouth,
having . long tap root which draws
moisture from below the surface. For
hay it should be cut when the bloom
willis and put in the stack before it be-
comes dry enough to break in handling.
It should be cured like clover.
Under favorable circumstances it will
produce five to eight tons Of hay per
year per acre. When used for hay or
pasture it should be cut before making
seed ~ that will prevent much of the
growth during the remainder Of the sea-
son. For dairy purposes and fattening
beef and hogs it Is unexcelled.
