Growing Alfalfa
on the Iowa Farm
Big Profits In Alfalfa Where II Can Be Grown
How Some Iowa Farmers Are Growing II.

The soil In the southwestern part
of Iowa is probably better adapted to
the growth of alfalfa than Is that Of
any other part of the state. The soil
is light and porous and is o, the same
character TO a considerable depth.
This allows the roots to penetrate
easily and to get good grasp on the
soil. 1t is fortunate that this is so
for the land is rolling and many OF the
hills wash badly when planted to corn.
Alfalfa is a great boon to these hills.
for they can be seeded down. wash,
ing can be prevented and still they
win return handsome profit to the
owner.
G. w. Grossley of Council Bluffs has
been growing alfalfa on this hill land
since 1895, and has about 20 acres
at the present time. The first alfalfa
grown on this farm was sown In the
spring with corn as the previous crop
The ground was plowed in the spring.
disked and narrowed couple OF
times, and then the seed was sown
broadcast at the rate Of 20 pounds to
the acre. No incubation OF any kind
was used and no manure was applied.
This place has been yielding from four
to six tons of hay each year. Last
year the alfalfa was almost the only
hay crop that these southeastern Iowa
farmers got; It being better able to
stand the drought than is clover and
timothy. Since the first seeding Mr..
Crossley has had good success In seed
ing in late summer as well as in the
spring.

faithful servant she had the corpse

such a companion beside her. this

Early in the year of 1902 we pur-
chased farm of 80 acres in the west
ern part of Iowa. Forty acres Of
this farm was cut up by streams and
consequently had been used mainly
for pasture. The remaining 40 acres,
however. was slightly rolling and well
drained. 1t was an ideal piece Of
land to farm and had been producing
yearly with no assistance and no rest
for many years. The preceding year.
1901, 1t had only produced 20 bush
els of corn per acre.
We realized that we must get that
field to producing more. Because Of
our extensive feeding we were also
anxious to grow as much corn as was
practicable. We did not deem 1t ad-
visable to plan a system Of crop man.
agement for that field for succeeding
years, but rather to use our judgment
as each year came along.
In April. 1902, we seeded the whole
field Of 40 acres to clover with oats
as the nurse crop. The oat yield that
year was certainly not exceptional I'M
less 1t was because Of low yield Of
Is bushels per acre. The clover
caught remarkably well when we con-
slider that It was eight years ago.
and that clover had not done well In
western Iowa up to that time. In
August and September Of that year we
covered the whole field with a light
application of barnyard manure. about
eight one hundred bushel loads per
acre. We also put on one hundred
pounds OF ground rock phosphate per
acre. Late that fall we plowed the
whole thing under. Remember that no
clover had been cut but the whole
green crop was turned under. Corn
the following year made As bushels
per acre
In the spring of 1904 we seed
ed the field againt to clover. using
oats as nurse crop. The oat crop that
year was very good, about 40 bushels
per acre. The large increase In the
yield of the oats this year over that of
1902 was due largely, | am certain. to
the addition of phosphorus.
Heavy clover resulted. We allowed
IT simply to go back to the soil. In
1905 we cut one crop Of clover which
made three tons per acre. The second
crop was not cut
In the fall of this year we spread
eight loads of good barnyard manure
per acre. We also applied 200 pounds
of ground rock phosphat per acre. We
plowed 1t as late as possible that fall.
The corn on this field in 1906. was
very good. much better than the aver
age throughout our section. II received
very good care and promised large

we'd do. Now, we think that you've

"The ballots have got to be count

the rest of us, read those accounts
