ALFALFA AS FORAGE CROP

ALFALFA AS FORAGE CROP
Prof. w. ]. Frazier, OF the University
of Illinois, in a recent interview on al
falfa as forage crop, said: Alfalfa
is one of the best crops to grow for
soiling, for two reasons: Because 1t
furnishes a larger amount of nutrt.
ment per acre than any other crop
grown, and because it grows up rap
idly after being cut off, and furnishes
a continuous supply of green feed.
When a fair.sized field Is cut over, a
portion each day as needed for food,
the first side of the field is ready for
cutting. Under proper conditions this
crop will yield four tons of hay per
acre. With a yield of four tons it
furnishes more than twice as much
protein as clover at three tons per
acre and about three times as much
protein as corn at 60 bushels per
acre. Many farmers have failed in
attempting to grow alfalfa, but it has
been proven repeatedly in most sec.
lions of Illinois that alfalfa can be
grown successfully if attention is
given to limeing, inoculating the soil
and getting all the conditions right"
