PrOUer Time TO Seed Alfalfa.

| am receiving inquirerles as
to whether it is still safe to seed
alfalfa; from which judge that
some readers got wrong lmpres
sion from my article on the sub
Ject.
The established practice with
successful alfalfa growers in the
east is to seed during August;
and our experience here shows
that any time during the whole
month, and even during the first
week of September, is safe. We
have tried this question out pur'
poseiy, seeding as late as Octo.
her 1st; but the later seedlings
were badly. hurt. No August
seeding has been seriously hurt
by frost, even during the very
hard conditions o. last winter and
spring.
The point | was trying to make
is that perhaps the established
practice of seeding IN August,
while 1t is bringing good results,
is not the very best practice. In
dlcations are that the early July
seedlings, for reasons | will dis
cuss later at length, is gong to
give even better results. Just
now | wish to correct a wrong
impression.
BY all means go ahead and seed
any time during the present
month Conditions this August
are better than they were during
any of the three preceding years;
yet seedlings during those years
were all right.
| have just received a fresh
supply of inoculating material
and of circular letters telling how
to use 1t; and will be very glad to
mail, without expense, to those
who WISH to use it. Do not make
the mistake of seeding without
incubation. It's vital necessl'
ty.
Alfalfa IN It's second year vel
lowed badly this summer, during
the very dry weather. We cut
1t; and 1t Is now recovering finely.
No stands will have to be turned
under this year, so far as exam
ined or reported.
