ALFALFA NOTES
EXTRACTS FROM ADDRESS OF
WILLIS WING, OF mEcAAN.
icSsuRG, OHIO.
kearnysville, w. Va, Raises as Fine
Aifa'fa as Can Sc Grown in
ohio--A Good Crop For
Our Farmers.

Mr. Willis Wing. of Mechanicsburg,
Ohio, Is a large grower OF alfalfa and
well-known authority upon its cui-
ture. On the special train recently op-
Grated by the College Of Agriculture
through Eastern West Virginia Mr..
Wing created great interest in alfalfa
all along the line At several points
excellent fields OF alfalfa were found
At keyser, Mr.. v F. AIkire brought
on large bunch OF extra fine, heavy
alfalfa, and al kearaysville Mr.. Wing
Inspected Go acres which he declared
was as fine as any found in Ohio.
You say this Is not an alfalfa coun-
try, said he. Wei. have you tried
it-tried II carefully? They said the
same thing in Ohio years ago and the
men at the university said it would
probably grow only in favored sec
tons, but it is now grown successfully
on many an Ohio farm | know a
man in Virginia who thought he had
failed to grow ii who is now establish
ing nearly 1000 acres. You can grow
alfalfa here in West Virginia as well
as anywhere in the east.
Let us compare alfalfa with corn"
said Mr. Wing, for you all know what
corn is worth to you. To-day you can
trade baled alfalfa for ear corn, bushel
for bushel and pound for pound With
three cuttings of alfalfa you should
get 4 tons per acre, which is equiya-
lent TO 100 bushels of corn per acre.
This is an exceptional year We
have had severe drouth and forage
is scarcer than in 40 years. but the
man who has alfalfa is not complain
Ing. With tons to the acre from
three cuttings, he is getting $50 per
acre, often as much as his land would
sell for.
Alfalfa is more often injured by
cutting too early than from cutting too
late Make only one good cutting the
first year, The second year do not
now oftener than every 45 days. If
grasses appear in a new stand after il
is about six months old, take spring
tooth harrow, sharpen the teeth, and
so over it thoroughly after the first
cutting.
