which to some extent destroyed the
efficacy of the inoculated soil. The
owner of this farm states that he
has given the plat of land top
dressing of manure that has not
been exposed to the weather and
wishes to know if it will now be
well to work that manure IN with
disc Or tooth harrow.
l have had no practical experience
in disking land after it has been set
in alfalfa, but intend disking some
three acres next week. | shall do
this upon the advice of Secretary f.
ID. Coburn, of the Kansas Depart
ment of Agriculture. He says the
practice is very beneficial, causing
the alfalfa to stool and make strong
er plants than where they have not
been disked. This is illustrated by
the picture herewith which Mr.
Coburn has lent The Progressive
Farmer. He advises setting the discs
nearly straight and weighting the
harrow so it will cut some two inches
into the soil, and disc the land thor
oughly both ways. He further says
that some practice disking the land
after each cutting of alfalfa. How
ever, shall compromise on one disk
ing, early In the spring, just as the
alfalfa begins to grow. If / owned
Cottage Grove Farm l should pur-
sue the same course.
The plant sent for examination
had ten branches. which is evidence
of vigOr and good growth. The
alfalfa will doubtless be very much
better this year than it was last
year. / shall be glad to hear fur
ther from Cottage Grove Farm as to
their experience with alfalfa.
Alfalfa Does Not Overrun Land.
o. w. W., of Branchville, S. c.,
writes that he has a small plat in
alfalfa and wants to know if there
is any danger of stock scattering it
from one field to another. There is
no danger whatever of getting it
scattered in that way. He will need
to cut it as soon as bloom begins
to appear, so there will be no seed
in the hay to get scattered.
/ am glad to see this tendency of
our farmers to investigate and ex-
pertinent with new crops. 1t shows
that we are trying to get out of the
old ruts, and also that we are not
welded to cotton.
Concluding Observation.
Prof. Kilgore, of our own Expert
ment Station, told me last week that
alfalfa was a success at the Expert
mental Farm in Edgecombe County.
At first it was feared crab grass
would overrun it, but at last the al
falfa seems to have asserted its su--
periority over the crab grass and
seems to have taken possession of
the land. I also saw letter in the
Southern Planter where some gen
