Alfalfa prefers deep. moist and warm

There Is none of our forage crops that
will respond more readily to thorough
prepara ton OF the seed bed than alfal-
IA.
Cut alfalfa that has been rained on
demands the utmost care to cure prop
erly. because OF the tendency OF the
leaves to become brittle and shatter.
Alfalfa should not be pastured until
It has matured good hardy crown
and root system to enable II to with
stand the tramping of stock. At least
two years should be allowed the crop
for this purpose. and even more would
be conducive to a hardy crop.
Alfalfa seed, being small, demand IA
vornble conditions for successful germi-
nation. Rains following close after roll
ing of the land are liable to compact
the surface of the soil to such an ex-
tent as to render It a dihlcult matter
for the young plants to push through.
This condition can be remedied By har-
rowing. which breaks the crust and al
lows the plants to easily push through.
Do not turn hungry or thirsty ami
mails in an alfalfa field. By observing
this rule and further accustoming them
