ORCH ARD GRASS AND~ALFALFA

Mr.. Frank Millsaps, who has been
for some. time extensively engaged
in the dairy business at Shoshone,
gives the Journal of that place some
information regarding the cultiva-
ton of alfalfa that might be of in
terest to the farmers Of the. entire
country, In answer to an inquiry,
Mr.. Millsaps stated that his alfalfa
fields this year will average seven
or eight tons per acre for three cut
tings, but he has one field Of eight
acres that is good for ten tons per
acre. This is alfalfa mixed with
orchard grass.
Mr.. Millsaps expresses the belief
that any of the farmers Of Lincoln
county can raise ten tons of alfalfa
and orchard grass per acre as an
average crop, providing they give it
proper cultivation and attention.
His theory in regard to orchard
grass is that it fills up the vacant
spaces between the alfalfa stools and
practically adds that much to the
hay yield for~the season, and that
it comes on in just about equal
growth with the alfalfa so that it
does not disturb the cutting time in
the least.

sections as is necessary to carry the
people, will leave Bull early in the
