Alfalfa Grass

Much has been heard of late of al.
fa'fa, the hardy grass of the west
which is such an important and valu-
able plant because of its usefulness as
food for cattle and horses. Many
have the impression that it is a CON-
parativeIy new product and that it
originated in the west. This idea is
effectually disposed of by a bulletin
issued from the Department of Agri-
culture that contains an essay on the
the subject, in which the history of al
falfa is traced for more than two
thousand years.
1t appears that the plant was cult
waited by the ancient Greeks and Ro-
mans and is still grown in the Med
iterranean region. 1t was introduced
into Spain and thence taken to Mex
leo by the explorers and Adventures
of four hu ldTed years ago, and from
Mexico it has spread over large
part of the west. According to the
tw, Eth census alfalfa covered 2,091,.
OIL acres, and the production in the
United States was 1920 GIL tons, an
average of about 2,5 tons TO the
acre. Four-fifths of the total was in
the west, the leading state being Col
orado, California, Utah, Kansas,
Idaho and Nebraska in the order
named. Only small quantity of al
falfa was raised in the east.
But the object of the departmental
publication and the reason for the de-
tails given are understood when 1t is
known that the agricultural experts
at Washington seek to impress upon
American farmers the worth of al.
falfa as a forage plant and its adapt
ability to a wide range of climate and
varying conditions of soil. Therefore
it is highly recommended for grazing
and for hay. And as hay is the sec
ond most valuable farm crop raised
in the United States, anything that
will increase it's Importance is worthy
of consideration. The Department of
Agriculture willingly furnishes copies
of the alfalfa bulletin to all who ap.
ply for that publication.
