ALFALFA.
Much Attention Necessary to Grow 1t
Successfully in Vermont.

Alfalfa produces such large yields and
such highly nutritious forage when
grown in its natural habitat-the far
" est-that its praises are sounded in every
agricultural rarer. Eastern farmers natur-
ally wish to grow this CROP Il its success
he assured, and are inquiI ing. as never be-
fore, the probability of its satisfactory
growth in New England. The Experiment
stations of New York and New Jersey re-
port that it does we'll in many parts Of
those commonwealths; but the Vermont
experiment station officers are not optirris-
tic as to it's success in the Green Mountain
state.
The Vermont station has rer eatedly tried
to grow alfalfa with varying results. In
1887 and SO seed was sown under its direc-
ton by about 40 farmers, with uniform
record of failure. Several sowings on the
station grounds have been ,rade since that
time. Some of these have been weed
choked, others have winter killed entirely
or in spots, or have run out from other
causes. Two good stands have been at.
tanned, one of which has Just come through
its third winter in fair share few small
but good pieces have been grown at sun
dry points In the Champaign valley. and it
is not unlikely that a few others may have
teen grown at other Points in the State.
Success or failure with alfalfa in Ner-
mont depends. first, en- the man, and sec
ond, on the soil He who would grow this
oror. must thoroughly understand it, ard
must be prepared to put time, labor, mon
ey, thought ard enthusiasm into it with
out prospect of much return for year or
two, hoping for future success. The land
must be we'll drained and in a good state
of filth and fertility. 1t should be pre-
pared as for onions. All weeds and weed
seeds must be killed, for alfalfa Is n weak
ling which, 50 to speak, must be brought
up on the bottle. Following the lard trr
year frequently and thoroughly cult
waiting it for the purpose of killing out
weeds. is a good preparation on weedy
piece for alfalfa.
Alfalfa carrot be grown satisfactorily
with a nurse cicp or in mixtures with
grass seed When once established it
should be cut at least three times yearly.
the first cutting occurring in June. well
before the usual time of haying. If cut
ting oe delayed quality suffers. 1t must.
therefore, be grown by itself unmix ed
with grass. Another serious difficulty is
found in the catchy nature of an alfalfa
field after a few years growth. 1t is apt
to winter kill in spots, and these are dit
ticut to get stocked again.
The size and quality of the crops Of al
falfa obtained at the Vermont station
have not been greater than those of red
clover. In brief it may be said that it is
felt by the station officers that the Gener-
altY of Vermont farm ers are more likely
to succeed with red clover than with al
falfd.
