Answer. A concrete door well

AlfaIfa Growing in the South.

The following article was written
from Auburn, Ala, July, 1908, by
Mr.. Joseph Wing:
But alfalfa they can grow here,
even on these sandy red ridges. How?
Why, by lining heavily. We used to
think that alfafa in the South re-
quired certain time Of sowing, re-
quired this, that and the other thing.
It is yet true that there is a right and
wrong way to SOW it, but we had not
guessed the one thing that made sue
cess certain, and without which all
the elaborate preparations in the
world resulted in failure. We had
not learned then that lime is the key
that unlocks the knotty problem.
True, we had said timldly "lime, -
but we had not said how much. A
little lime, we had said. Now we
know that alfalfa wants-not little
lime, not even enough lime, but "too
much lime" as one enthusiastic lime
( advocate expressed it, just put on
"too much lime" and sow alfalfa
seed at almost any time of the year,
and you will get alfalfa. OF course,
If the land Is also made rich you will
get bigger alfalfa. But with "too
much lime. you get alfalfa and no
grasses, no weeds to trouble, that is
the point. Without the lime you get
nothing-tbc alfalfa bacteria starves
the alfalfa becomes sickly, failure re-
suits. We did think that fall seeding
was the essential thing. We still
think August or September seeding
best for the South, but Mr. Jones

Coarse VS.. Finely Ground Corn and
Cob Meal.

W. A. c., Golddale, writes: Does
1t pay to feed corn ground with the
cobs when the most of the cob is in
pieces nearly as large as grains of
corn? I am feeding it to cows and
young cattle.
How about Red Poll cattle where
grass is scarce for milk and beef?
Answer: We are inclined to favor
the feeding Of corn and cob meal,
because in our experiments to date
it has seemed to give us about the
same results as corn meal, and when
corn goes over fifty cents a busnel,
it is such an expensive feed that it
must be used with the greatest econ
omy. Possibly you can so. adjust
your mill as to grind your corn finer.
We either wish it ground down very
fine, result that can be brought
about by running it through the mill
second time, or else broken and left
very coarse. We are feeding split
corn to our beef cattle and they eat a
large Fer cent. of the cobs without
any apparent injury, but when the
cobs are only partially ground down
and left sharp. and angular, they will
irritate the digestive tract to some
extent.
Red Poll cattle make very good
dual purpose breed. They are not
especially noted for, their rustlins
qualities, but will likely give you as
good satisfaction as any of the So
called dual purpose breeds. Cattle

So let our JOY at having the prob
lem solved at last swallow up our cha
grin at having guessed wrongly for
so long time. We are glad to nave
the thing solved at last, and to know
finally the secret of successful alfalfa
culture in the South. It is, first, land
not wet; next, land filled with lime;
then manure OF fertilizers to make
the land rich; then seed, preferably
in the fall, in good seedbed. and the
result is certain to be alfalfa. And
how much lime? No one knows that
definitely as yet. 1t seems that four
tons Of fresh burned lime to the acre
is none too much and eight or ten
tons Of ground limestone. But land
that is worth now SIS per acre may
by the application of this lime and
fertilizer be made to yield six crops
of alfalfa hay year, worth here to
feed to the plantation stock at least
SIS per ton. Say four tons to the
acre only, yielding $50, and with no
need Of sowing next year. So, little
by little, the problems down here are
being solved. Let me repeat again,
to stop the interminable flow Of Ques-
tions: If your field of alfalfa is being
devoured by crab grass, it probably
needs lime, much lime, and also phos-
phorus. With enough lime and phos-
phorus in the soil alfalfa will be free
from crab-grass and weeds. hope
to see the day when million tons OF
lime will be used in a year in this
Southland. Breeders Gazette.
