One Farmer. Alfalfa Experience

One Farmers Alfalfa Experience.
That alfalfa is not merely theoreti-
cally a good crop for Iowa land may
be gathered from this experience OF
S. R. Macy of New Providence, who
recently told his experience as fol-
lows:
81 have just IA acres in my alfalfa
field. I prepared the ground and
sowed the seed in the spring and the
summer of 1908. In the first place l
hauled ninety-four two-horse spreader
loads of stable manure on the land
Then at intervals of from week to
ten days I double disced it five times,
plowed it once, dragged it five times
and floated it twice.
"This took me up to the 18th of
August, when sowed twenty pounds
of seed to the acre, sowing one-half
the seed each way to insure an even
stand. In 1909 l cut it three times,
getting in the aggregate between five
and six tons to the acre. In 1910 I
cut it four times. In the first three
cuttings I got thirty big loads, and
for what 1 sold I got So per load.
The fourth cutting l sold as it stood
for SIS per acre, making gross in
come from the land of $3.50 per
acre."
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-08-02
Winter Wheat As An Iowa Crop.

Where winter wheat was thorough
~ cultivated in Iowa, it again demon
tstrated its right to the favorable con-
sideration of the farmer in making
his field crop plans for another year.
Fields that were properly prepared
for the seed report a satisfactory
yield in spite of dry weather.
The Iowa experiment station bulle-
tin on winter wheat growing in Iowa
offers these timely suggestions:
Plow or disc the stubble on the
ground chosen for winter wheat in
August. Cultivate it until the soil is
we'll pulverized.
Winter wheat should be sown by
September 10 in central Iowa; it can
be successfully sown a little later in
southern Iowa; in northern Iowa it
should be sown a little earlier than
this.
Winter wheat should be sown with
a drill. One and one-half (1h) BUSH
els per acre of good wheat seed should
be drilled at depth Of from two and
one-half to three inches. on a well
prepared seed bed.
It does not pay to sow any but the
best Of grain, viz, the medium to
large, plump, flinty, translucent seed.
Winter wheat costs, under average
conditions, $1O.72 per acre. The
average good yield of winter wheat is
twenty five bushels per acre, leaving
a good margin for net profit.
Iowa soils are we'll adapted to the
growing Of winter wheat. The eli
matte conditions of the state are not
so favorable to the growth of this
crop as is generally believed. The
growing of winter wheat fits into
Iowa systems of crop rotations salts
factorily.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-08-02
Alfalfa a God.send.

Alfalfa has been God-send this
Pear to those Iowa farmers who have
had the enterprise and courage to
grow it, is the statement made by
Prof. P. G. Holden of the extension
department of the state college, after
visit to various sections of Iowa.
Very generally the first cutting
yielded twice as much as the fields
of timothy and clover, and there are
two cuttings still to come. Alfalfa
thrives in such dry weather as Iowa
has had and the second cutting in
the latter part of July promises to
yield another good crop of hay.
eff I owned Iowa." added Professor
Holden, land I found farmer any
where who wouldn't grow some alfal-
ia. I'd make him move out of the
state"
