yield. When husked it was all weigh
ed and yielded61 bushels and 20
pounds per acre.
This was certainly very gratifying
increase over what it had produced
in 1901 when the yield was only 20
bushels.
We seeded it again to oats and
clover in the spring of 1907. The oats
this season were very good crop.
There were none in the country about
that could possibly compare with them.
When they were thrashed there were
1925 bushels. This made a yield OF
$500 bushels per acre In view Of
the very low yield of oats in our SEC
tom of the state for that year. this
was remarkable yield. The oats
were OF excellent quality, as they
tested out "a pounds to the bushel
After We had removed the oat crop
cattle were turned on the land and
allowed to run at will over 1t until

was used as meadow during 1908.

were cut from 1t. The two crops to-
gether made yield OF As tons OF

phorus would be necessary We did.
however, put on heavier coat Of ma
nure Ten 100 bushel loads were put
on per acre at this time
The field was plowed in October and
left quite rough. Our object now was
to see just how much we could make
that field produce. We had the soil,
and with special care of seed, soil prep
aration. and cultivation we believed
we could get a phenomenal yield of
corn in 1909
The field was left alone in the spring
until all weeds had good start. When
We did begin to work it, we worked II
thoroughly, being especially careful
to conserve moisture. Only tested seed
corn was used and after planting the
harrow was kept on it until the corn
was about to break through the sur
face. We cultivated the corn four
times. That field was the farthest
along of any field near it throughout
the whole season. When it was husk-
ed that fall the yield was exactly 90
bushels per acre.
Let us compare the years 1901 and
1909. Twenty bushels of corn in
1901 at % cents per bushel gave to-
tai value of only SIS per acre. Ninety.
two bushels of corn in 1909 at so cents
per bushel gives a total value of $40

$36 per acre to repay us for the work

Early in the year of 1902 we pur-
chased farm Of 80 acres in the west
ern part of Iowa. Forty acres Of
this farm was cut up by streams and
consequently had been used mainly
for pasture. The remaining 40 acres,
however, was slightly rolling and we'll
drained. 1t was an ideal piece of
land to farm and had been producing
yearly with no assistance and no rest
for many years. The preceding year,
1901, 1t had only produced 20 BUSH
els Of corn per acre.
We realized that we must get that
Held to producing more. Because of
our extensive feeding we were also
anxious to grow as much corn as was
practicable. We did not deem it ad-
visable to plan system Of crop man
agement for that field for succeeding
years, but rather to use our judgment
as each year came along
In April, 1902, we seeded the whole
field Of 40 acres to clover with oats
as the nurse crop. The oat yield that
year was certainly not exceptional I'M
less it was because of low yield Of
Is bushels per acre. The clover
caught remarkably well when we con-
slider that it was eight years ago,
and that clover had not done well in
western Iowa up to that time. In
August and September of that year we
covered the whole field with light
application of barnyard manure, about
eight one hundred bushel loads per
acre. We also put on one hundred
pounds of ground rock phosphate per
acre. Late that fall we plowed the
whole thing under Remember that no
clover had been cut but the whole
green crop was turned under. Corn
the following year made 45 bushels
per acre.
In the spring of 1904 we seed
ed the field againt to clover, using
oats as nurse crop. The oat crop that
year was very good, about 40 bushels
per acre. The large increase in the
yield of the oats this year over that of
1902 was due largely. l am certain, to
the addition of phosphorus
Heavy clover resulted. We allowed
it simply to go back to the soil. In
1905 we cut one crop of clover which
made three tons per acre. The second
crop was not cut.
In the fall of this year we spread
eight loads of good barnyard manure
per acre. We also applied 200 pounds
of ground rock phosphat per acre. We
plowed it as late as possible that fall.
The corn on this field in 1906, was
very good. much better than the aver
age throughout our section. 1t received
very good care and promised large

JOSEPH Stillinger of Villisca, Iowa,
has 40 acres of alfalfa. He has seed
ed with success in both spring and
fall He inoculated his soil by spread
ing on manure in which had como
from animals fed on alfalfa hay. He
thinks that this is the cheapest way to
make sure that the soil contains the
proper bacteria for the growth Of
alfalfa Mr. Stillinger had his first
experience with alfalfa in 1882, and
the fact that he now has 40-acre
field of it indicates his success. He
gets from four to six tons of hay per
acre every year and generally cuts
his field four times during the sea-
son. In speaking of the feeding VAL
lie of alfalfa Mr.. Stillinger says. In
Fl years of feeding alfalfa we have
learned to make our corn go fully
twice as far as before, when we fed
it alone. In regard to the effect of
alfalfa on the soil he says, Our corn
made III bushels an acre on alfalfa

Growing Alfalfa
on the Iowa Farm
Big Profit. in Alfalfa Where II Can Be Grown
How Some Iowa Farmers Are Growing Ii.
B, J. B. Lanson. Ierua Agrin.tuysi CsYse..

The soil in the southwestern part
of Iowa is probably better adapted to
the growth of alfalfa than Is that of
any other part of the state. The soil
is light and porous and is of the same
character to considerable depth
This allows the roots to penetrate
easily and to get good grasp on the
soil. 1t is fortunate that this is so
for the land is rolling and many of the
hills wash badly when planted to corn
Alfalfa is a great boon to these hills.
for they can be seeded down, wash
Ing can be prevented and still they
will return handsome profit to the
owner.
G. w. Grossley of Council Bluffs has
been growing alfalfa on this hill land
at the present time. The first alfalfa
grown on this farm was sown in the
spring with corn as the previous crop
The ground was plowed in the spring,
disked, and narrowed a couple of
times, and then the seed was sown
broadcast at the rate OF 20 pounds to
the acre. No incubation of any kind
was used and no manure was applied.
This place has been yielding from four
to six tons of hay each year Last
year the alfalfa was almost the only
hay crop that these southeastern Iowa
farmers got; it being better able to
stand the drought than is clover and
Crossley has had good success in seed
ing in late summer as well as in the
spring.
