ALFALFA IN SKOWHEGAN.
Creamery Patrons Will Follow Care
fully Matured Plan.

Manager E. e. Harris of the Show
hogan Jersey Creamery has sent to
all the patrons who have signified a
desire to take part in the cooperative
experiments with alfalfa, the follow
ing circular letter:
THE full possibilities of alfalfa in
Somerset county, and the easiest and
best ways of handling it in the rota-
ton, will be developed by experience
The following directions are based
upon the practical work of numerous
growers in New England, and if fol-
lowed carefully will avoid unneces-
sary mistakes.
Alfalfa will easily drown.
Therefore select land with good
drainage both above and below the
surface.
Alfalfa cannot compete with weeds
while young.
Therefore use old or fall plowed
land and handle it to terminate and
kill every weed seed near the surface
before the middle of July. You may
wait and pillow the first crop of weeds
under in June narrowing at intervals
afterwards, or you may harrow early
and at intervals without letting the
weeds get started at all. Choose the
method that will best fit in with your
other work.
Alfalfa is native to a climate where
the seasons alternate wet and dry.
Therefore SOW during the midsum-
mer drought in July Work in we'll with
the weeder or smoothing harrow, and
leave to come up with the first fall
rains.
Apply a good coat of barn dressing
as early as possible this spring.
Apply the lime broadcast the last
of June or the first of July and har-
row in.
Directions for incubation will be
sent with the seed direct from Wash
ington."
