HISTORY OF ALFALFA,
AND ORIGIN OF NAME
Known to Ancie.4ts as "the Best
Fodder Crop" It Still Re
tains the Title.

The past history of alfalfa is very
/ closely related to the history of civil
lized man himself. Originating with
him in central Asia 1t has followed him
like a true and faithful friend to the
uttermost parts of the earth. For the
| ancient Persians it was the most i'm
portant forage plant. Whether 1T was
domesticated by them or by a more
ancient people is not known. 1t fol-
lowed the invasion of NerXes into
Greece and from the Grecians the Ro-
mans obtained it. From these centers
it spread throughout the Mediterra-
mean littoral into France, Spain and
northern Europe.
The Greeks called it "Medike" and
the Romans "Herba Medtca" N ac-
count of its Median or Persian origin.
During the middle ages. however, these
earlier names were lost sight of by it's
european growers and 1t was named
"luzerne," 'luserne" or "lucerne" after
a river valley in northern Italy. To
the Arabs, on the other hand. it was
known as "alfacfacah," which means
the best kind Of fodder" BY the
Moorish invasion and influence over
northern Africa and southern Europe
this Arabic nam was implanted, and
out OF 1t finally came the Spanish name
alfalfa. Thus the plant which botan-
lists now call Medieago (referring to it's
ancient Median origin) was called al
falfa In Spain and lucerne in the re-
mainder Of Europe.
Alfalfa was introduced into North
America from both of these sources.
1t followed the Spanish invasion of
South America into Mexico, Peru and
Chill. In many sections of these coun-
tries 1t found a congenial climate and
soil and so at once became a perma-
nent addition to the agricultural re-
sources OF those countries. From Mex
leo and central and western South
America it gradually worked north
ward into southern California and
southwestern Texas, and thence spread
throughout the Rocky Mountains and
plains region. adding untold wealth to
the value of the farm lands of these
states. With this migration has come
the Spanish name alfalfa.
With the colonists from those Euro
pean countries outside OF Spain, who
settled principally in the eastern part
of North America, alfalfa was also in
troduced under the name of .lucerne."
but since it's culture did not prove
highly successful this name has never
become popular. However, with the
wonderful development in the produc-
ton OF this forage plant in the west
and with the Increased knowledge con
cernlng its prope care and manage
ment, the successful culture of alfalfa
is being pushed further and further
eastward under it's Spanish name,
While the European name lucerne Is
today almost totally unused in Amer
lea.

good practice with all shallow feedine
crops, like wheat and oats. 1t is best, too.
to apply the decomposed manure to these
crops because they need readily available
plant food. for they make their growth
during the season when changes in the
soil are comparatively slow, hence they
must have food ready for use or use what
is left over from previous manurings. TOP
dressing clover and grass land Is bene-
fetal and can be done at any season when
the plants are not SO large as to be-
smothered by the manure. A dressing OF
three tons per acre OF timothy sod after
the hay has been removed will! add very
much to the hay crop the next year.
1t should be the farmers purpose tu

season closes tomorrow, and, though

YANKEE TENNIS
PAIR HANDS OUT
DEFEAT TO BRITISH
International Match in Doubles
Proves Easy for Hackett
and Alexander.

BOSTON. Mass, Sept. 1s.-The United
States Lawn Tennis players forged
ahead of their British visitors in the
International match In doubles at the
Longwood Cricket Club yesterday, Har-
old H. Hackett and F. B. Alexander,
the national champions, ~disposing Of NJ.
J. G. Richie and John G. Parke, 3 sets
6--1.E
Except for a nine-game slump, which
began in the second set. and extended
into the third. the American team
showed the steady, r~esourceful play
which has been the feature of their
work since they first paired in the sport
five years ago. The visitors, while con-
siderably Handicapped by lack Of team
play, showed excellent g~eneralship and
seldom became involved.
They played almost wholly in the back
court, only running in where there came
an opportunity for smashing. Many Of
the strokes. especially those of Alex
ander, were brilliant, while at a critical
period in the third set Hackett re-
trieved a couple of seemingly impossi-
BILE balls far out of the court, which
enabled the Americans to get back into
position, and finally win the point.
Alexander's erratic play in the second
failed to d~isconcert his partner, and
this steadiness by Hackett was one of
the main contributing features of the
contest.
