Hon. A. w. Gilman, commissioner of
agriculture, was at the department.
yesterday, coming from Brunswick,
where he went, Monday. at the invita-
ton of A. E. Rogers of that town. to
note the results Of the experiments
which that gentleman is making in the
culture of alfalfa in Maine soil. Mr..
Rogers Is not the first to make the ex
pertinent, but those which have hereto
fore been made in the State have been
"a disappointment, while it looks at
present as IL he were destined to make
a success of the matter. and be able to
raise this choice fodder as it is raised
in the West.
That the plant will not grow in the
Maine soil without some foreign help
has been demonstrated, but that it will
grow, when this help has been given.
has also been demonstrated by Mr..
Rogers. In order to ascertain what was
needed in the soil to secure good crop.
he planted three plots of land with al
falfa, the first Of which was treated
with inoculated soil from New York
state. on which alfalfa had previously
been grown, and in addition to that.
lime was used on the soil. In the sec
ond plot Of land, limo alone was used.
while the soil of the third plot was left
in it's natural condition.
The results of the experiment are
very marked, and when Mr.. Gilman Wis
tied the place. Monday. the alfalfa on
the plot where the inoculated soil and
lime had been used, was from two 10
four feet in height, and of a degree or
luxuriance of growth that would yield
two tons to the acre. The second plot,
where the lime had been used alone.
showed crop of about two-thirds the
first, while the growth ON the third
plot was a failure.
This would seem t. indicate that the
possibility Of raising alfalfa in Name
after the soil had once become 1nOculat
ed by raising a crop. was good. MI
Rogers will go into the culture OF the
fodder on a larger scale, ncxt year, ana
will plow two acres with the seed, on
one Of which the inoculated soil am
lime will be used, and on the other. the
seed will be dipped in the inoculatinS
