No greater step in the advancement
and encouragement of the growing of
alfalfa in Wisconsin has been taken
than the movement recently inaugur-
ated by the Wisconsin Agricultural
Experiment Association, whose men,
bers are all former students at the Col
lege of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin. The great work of this
association in the growing and produc-
ton of pure bred seeds has established
Wisconsin's reputation as a pure bred
seed producing center, not only through
the United States but over the entire
world, as has been shown by this years
large shipments of pure bred grains to
foreign countries. The association has
now bent it's energies to do similar
work along the lines of forage crops,
particularly alfalfa. That close organ
ization is the most efficient method of
pushing any line of work of this sort
has been fully demonstrated in the past
and it was with this in mind that the
alfalfa Order of the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural Experiment Association" was
organized at the Wisconsin state fair,
September Ia, 1911.
The objects of this organization are
to spread a knowledge of the value of
alfalfa to farmers of Wisconsin; first,
by cooperating with the department
OF agromony of the College of Agricul-
ture of the University of Wisconsin
and with the Wisconsin Experiment
Association in growing, experiment.
ing, and in the wide dissemination OF
alfalfa; second, by having alfalfa ex-
hibits at agricultural fairs; third, by
having annual meetings in order to
report and discuss topics beneficial to
the members of the order; fourth, by
distributing literature and information
bearing upon the production of alfalfa
for seed and forage. Membership is
limited to those actually interested in
growing this liking Of all forage crops"
and to those who will cooperate under
the direction of the order.
