ALFALFA

In the Orient Prof. Hansen found
alfalfa fields 400 years old and the
rowns were as large as a wash tub,
sending up hundreds of shoots. AL
salta does not multiply crowns. The
number that grows from the first seed
ing do not increase unless more seed
is soWn. If too much seed is sown
the result is croWding and impover,
ished plants. Discing and narrowing
alfalfa fields is destructive Il it.
Every time a crown is split it begins
to decay at the heart and sooner or
later the plant is lost.
Prof. Hansen has learned these
things as the result of a life time of
experimentation and observation and
of the study of the plant in regions
where it has been the chief depend.
ance of mar for thousands of years.
From the people of the Orient Re
has learned the wisdom of planting
the seed of alfalfa in nursery and
transplanting the second year in the
permanent meadow. This is not so
serious an undertaking as would ap-
pear. With a tobacco transplanter, a
machine costing fifty or sixty dollars,
a man and two boys can transplant
from six to ten acres a day and when
it is remembered that the meadow so
planted may stand for a century, it is
worth while to go at it right. The
plants are placed about two feet apart
each way and soon occupy the entire
space with the shoots thrown out
from the strong crowns.
This year Prof, Hansen has put out
fifteen experimental fields of several
acres each located in widely separated
districts; Bigstone, Frederick, Ips-
wich, Eureka, Mcintosh, Lennon,
Faith, Onida, Sansarc, and Philip get
ting plants, in addition to the work at
Bookings, Highmore and Cotton
wood stations.
Prof. Hansen says he has taken the
tried out Oriental method and
hitched it up to an American machine.
The result will, it is very probable,
be of tremendous Importance to South
Dakota and the world.-Canton News.
