have just July 14) harvested 20
acre field Of alfalfa. which was sown
in standing corn during the last days
of June, 1902, just previous to the last
cultivation of the corn crop. The cui-
tivator was set to run very shallow.
The first year the field produced 31s
tons of hay to the acre in two cut
tings-two tons first cutting and Ia
tons the second. The first crop was
very good. but the second was short
and turned yellow. thought my helo
was going to be failure.
However, decided to lnoculate with
alfalfa bacteria. and for this purpose
procured some alfalfa soil from six
year-old alfalfa field. / scattered sew
eral tons of it over the 25-acre held
just after the second cutting. J foi-
lowed this with disk. The result was
quite remarkable. The yellow plants
soon changed to a dark green color,
and in a short time the field was COW
cred with fine alfalfa. The following
May and June disked this field again,
and it grew wonderfully well. l md
it pays to disk several times. in fact
after every cutting. l use four horses
on the disk. and follow with steel
frame harrow to pulverize after the
disk. This makes an earth mulch to
retain the moisture. while the DISK
splits the crown of the plant and i'm
proves the stand.

my alfalfa seed with about an equa

some have been rushing into print by way Of

say-so Of one troubled spirit: .. ~.
Coming right down to the facts, It may be
written down that If Wisconsin Is to embrace
the only opportunity it has to make a showing
against the east it. will have to have ample
funds, first for the engagement Of the best
coach and trainer that money can hire and Sec
ond for incidental accessories. 1t is for Wis
consin and the west to say what the future
shall be. Either necessary funds must be pro-
vided or else Wisconsin must continue to be a
feeble factor in the event. With the magnif-
cent possibilities it possesses and considering
what is involved, it would be a crime against
sport to let Wisconsin drop merely because Of
the lack of substantial supports -,rrt fr:
