THE MANAGEMENT OF
ALFALFA In THE FIELD
After Getting a Cultivated Care
fuIIy-By A. M TenEyek, Asronornist, Kansas

A good stand of alfalfa is variable
quantity as regards the number OF
plants required per unit area, In a
newly-seeded field. where plenty OF
seed has been sown and the conditions
have been favorable TO start the young
plants, as many as 100 plants per
square foot have been counted. As
few as ten strong young plants per
square foot, fairly evenly distributed
may be considered a fair stand--thick
enough TO leave. II is questionable
whether a very thick stand is as good
as thin or medium stand. Those
who advocate sowing a small amount
OF seed claim that the thinner sown
alfalfa starts stronger and will be
more productive and remain good
stand longer than that which is sown
thicker One advantage perhaps OF the
thicker seeding on fertile land is the
less coarse growth of stem, which pro.
duces a finer quality OF hay than the
larger coarser growth resulting from
thin seeding.
Alfalfa plants gradually die out. SO
that a very thick stand may show n
much smaller number OF plants per
unit area two or three years after
