ALFALFA SUCCEEDS

A. M. Mitchell, of Lansing township,
was in the city last week and on being
questioned in regard to his alfalfa
plats stated that he now has about II
acres Of it which is getting pretty well
established. He cut his first crop
June 25th, getting about ton per acre.
His second crop was cut September 5th
and the yield was ton and half
per acre. 1t is very likely that when
the roots get down so as to reach nn
unfailing supply of moisture, as they
surely can in northeast Brown county.
the yield will be greatly increased.
This deep, sandy foam above subsoil
easily penetrated by root growth, with
sheet water at 10 to 20 feet below the
surface Is certain to prove the ideal
alfalfa land, and when this wonderful
forage plant is once established on
it the land is worth easily $50 per.
acre. 4
Captain Jacobs, Of Columbia town
ship, has about 12i acres of this clover.
seeded this spring in the Big Slough
bottom which is q remarkably fine.
catch. The cost of seeding it was
about $s per acre, This plat Will
furnish an interesting dsnonstra-
ton Of the adaptibility CT slough land
to this crop.
The writer saw recently two other
plats of alfalfa, in Shelby township on
the farms of w A Rhoads and w. F.
Jones. Mr. Phoads cnt 4 rood crop

June and good yield can be moved
