GROWING Alfalfa.
The statement regarding sorghum, t.
the effect that farmers are getting over
the idea that 1t is mainly a crop for
favored sections, applies as well to
alfalfa, one Of the finest of forage
crops, when one comes to know 1t well
and to properly grow it. The soil
should be well prepared for alfalfa;
and it should be deep soil, for the
crop is one that may be cut at least
twice year, after the first season, for
several years. Sow the seed with a
grass seeder. using from fifteen to
twenty pounds an acre; harrow lightly
and then roll firmly. Usually the plan
is to first sow the ground with some
grain crop, like barley. following d.
rectly after with the alfalfa seed in
the quantity named. Harvest the bar
ley when ripe, but do not pasture the
alfalfa the first season. 1t Is important
that this be not done, and here is lust
where SO many who try alfalfa fail, for
by pasturlng the first season the plants
do not have fair chance to get n
hold in the ground. AS matter of
fact, If hay is the crop desired, alfalfa
should not be pastured at any time any
more than any crop which is intended
for hay. The second season the alfal-
ia will show Its head early in the
spring, and may be cut at least twice
that season, possibly three times. The
following seasons three crops each
summer can readily be cut from the
field. Alfalfa is drought-resisting, the
stock like 1t, and 1t is as easy to grow
MS any hay. Try an acre Of 1t this
spring as an experiment.
