HAS ANY ONE TRIED THE WEEDER FOR
ALFALFA?

There are other drawbacks TO growing alfalfa
greatest in many sections is the crab grass pest.
Along in the latter part of the season, when crab
grass grows SO fast. is the time that long dry
weather may check alfalfa most. 1t is then the
least able to hold its own with crab grass; and so
often the uneven fight means the loss OF the stand
of alfalfa The large yields Of highly nutritious
hay made by healthy alfalfa renders it possible
to spend work on it and yet come out with a
good net profit Consider the gain from four
tons OF superior hay per acre per year. and you
are in a position to realize that 1t will pay to try
hard for a permanent stand OF alfalfa.
Narrowing often benefits alfalfa in several
ways: and the suggestion will be made for tests
of using a weeder on alfalfa The weeder will get
over much ground quickly and will not cost much.
1t will make the top layer OF soil loose and mel
Low: will keep moisture from soaking out OF the
OF. 1t will not do the alfalfa as much harm as
good In running over the crowns. while 1t will do
crab grass much injury. Much of the grass will
b. pulled out Suppose the weeder be run over
the alfalfa soon after the hay is removed. nrst.
- Oh aA u NeN1 line tueu . u a norm ana
south tine. What crab grass Is not pulled out the
FIRST time will be badly punished the second time.
II II Is not all out OF the way then. wait a few
days. then go at IL again. Do this as often as IL
seem. likely that the alfalfa Is In danger from
The grass. and In case OF doubt. use the veeder.
Let none take II that this treatment is given as
a sare remedy. II Is merely a promising sugges-
ION. one that can be tried out at small expense BY
any farmer who has n wecder. A man or a bo.
aud one horse should he able to get over some
'hing like ave acres II day with a weeder, two
workings In the manner suggested Compare the
cost of that with the value OF even half a crop OF
alfalfa hay. TO say nothing Of carrying the alfalfa
To a stage OF greater root development SO that it
siIi grow more vigorously and make a better fight
against it's enemy ever after.
A report Of experience In trying TO control crab
grass in alfalfa by this method will be greatly ap-
prcciaied. Any solution of the problem will mean
millions for the South. and ONE intelligent, OBJ
serving farmer may and the way before the Ex-
pertinent Stations do.
