ditions it may be necessary to remove

When once well established, frequent
cutting helps rather than Injuries alfalfa,
provided that the cutting is not done
too late in the fall. When this happens.
winter killing is liable to occur. Disc
ing alfalfa in the spring is said to be
of benefit. An important thing to re-
member by one commencing to grow
alfalfa is that it has many peculiarities.
Even if one does not succeed the first
year, success may follow another year
if some change is made in the method.

The Dickinson press., 1910-05-07

Dakota are hardness and drought resist
ance. As indicated. we have a hardy
variety. In contrast to hardness.
alfalfa is naturally drought resistant
and the problem of securing a hardy.
drought resistant variety should not be
difficult, although drought resistance
is rather more difficult to measure than
hardness.
While it will be of great Importance
to secure drought resistant varieties,
yet it will be possible for the farmer to
overcome the effects of drought by
methods of culture if he so desires. In
the first place. on nearly every farm,
some portion of the farm is less SUBJ
ject to dry conditions than other por.
lions. The moister portions of the land
can be seeded to alfalfa. This will
afford the farmer a hay crop. but with
this the problem IS only half solved.
Alfalfa should be grown over practically
the whole farm, at some time or another,
for we expect alfalfa to r%ejuvenate our
land so that greater grain crops can be
grown afterwards.
AS far as drought resistance is con-
cerned, alfalfa has been successful in
North Dakota. But the trials have been
limited and most Of the alfalfa has
been grown in the last six years dur
ing which time no critical droughts have
| n0O1NRP0H QocsNno kAsr k1c- l--
generally been sown upon the bottom
lands. Now if it is found that alfalfa
does not succeed on ordinary upland,
with a normal rainfall. when sowD in
the ordinary way. then it will be pos
sible to SOW alfalfa in rows. the alfalfa
crop to receive some cultivation. While
this method will increase the work, the
alfalfa crop is insured against drought
and the yield may be considerably
more than when alfalfa is sown in six
inch drills.
PRACTICAL METHODS.-h this brief
paper, it would be impossible to give
much on this point. The main thing
is to get the farmer interested in
alfalfa and 10 get him to experiment
with it. The United States Department
of Agriculture has gotten out an ex-
ce]lent bulletin on alfalfa. This is
Farmers Bulletin No. 339, and is writ
ten by J. NJ. Westgate of the depart
ment. This bulletin is furnished free
on application to your congressman OF
may be obtained by writing to the
secretary of agriculture, Washington.
D. c. This contains practical informa-
