HOW TO GROW ALFALFA
IN SOIL OF BUNCOMBE
Successful Growth of The Valuable Crop in The CITY of Ashe-
vile, by William Johnson, Jr.-Best Results, Perhaps,
Yet Achieved in the ~State-Secret in Getting Stand
Baskerville News-Gazette.)

It is an interesting fact to note that
after many years OF study and many
attempts to produce a satisfactory
yied of alfalfa by many scientific
farmers of this State, William john
ston, Jr, owner and proprietor Of the
A%nnandale dairy farms, has obtained
within the city limits of Asheville,
possibly the best results yet obtained
in this tSate.
Mr.. Johnston, who has spent sever
al years studying this species of clo-
Yer, and noting it's wonderful value to
the western farmers and d~airyn1en,
decided it ought to be raised profita-
bly, in this country, and has made sew
eral attempts to do so, but has never
until this year, met with any graft
flying success.
With the information acquired by
his many experiments, Mr.. Johnston
last summer had about five acres of
land, situated on the north side Of
Hill street and the east side of Hall
street prepared and properly treated
with fertilizers, and we'll seeded at the
proper time and a good stand secured.
The first cutting, which was made
some time last MONTH, produced about
five tons Of excellent hay, a yield of
one ton per acre, which he says is the
best, 81 far as he knows, hat has yet
been made in this State, and which
compares faVOrably with the yield in
some of the Western States.
Analysis shows his hay to be worth
as much per ton as wheat bran,
which is placed at $50 per ton; one
third more tina timothy hay, While
the quality of milk and butter pro-
duced by this kind Of feed is said to
be par excellence.
Mr.. Jonston says that his failures
heretofore have been due to h fact
that the kind Of soil that will produce
alfalfa is just the opposite of what
he had first supposed; that his first
efforts were made on bottom land and
that in no instance did he get a stand.
He says alfalfa is best adapted to Well
drained uplands, and TINS often has to
be treated with lime n other fertil-
izers before a stand can be obtained.
And right here is Where the whole Sc
cret lies, as when once a stand is pro-
cured there is hardly any end to the
life of the plant; it does not have to
be eSOWe from ear to year but con-
tinues to grow n make better yields,
at each cutting and from year to year,
sending its roots down, sometimes to
a depth of two and three feet; lever
being affected by drought unless to
make it grow more 1~uXuriantly; usual
y producing four cuttings a year and
consequently at the rate of $50 a ton.
one acre would make q yield of $120
per acre per. year.
Mr.. Johnston's successful expert
ment is being closely watched by
many of the farmers Of this county,
and it is more than likely that the
growing of alfalfa will be one of the
great industries of this part of the
country in the near future.

FAMOUS TOMATO GROWER.
Mr.. d.. d. Haskell Takes The Lead
With This Palatable Vegetable.
(Greeryille Refractory


Mr.. d. d. Haskell is making fame
as a grower of tomatoes. Near his
home on Twelfth street he has a
large plot Of the finest vines we ever
saw for the time OF year. Some OF
the vines are now about five feet tall
and already heavily fruited. The out
look is that in a few days he will be
ready to market fine tomatoes in large
quantities with the supply continuing
for some time. Mr.. Haskell says he
is learning more about every
year-that is he is learning how to
produce finer ones and get them to
ripen earlier. In 1907 he put the first
ripe ones on the market July 9Th, in
1908 he bettered this record by hav-
ing ripe ones June 18th, while this
wear he had some on the market June
9Th. He says that next year he eX-
