drained, either naturally, or by the
use of tile or open bitches. Some OF
the best results secured have been on
bottom lands, but no matter how
much available fertility is present, an
attempt to grow alfalfa without good
drainage is almost sure to result in
failure. We do not mean by this that
the highest ground available should
be chosen, as this ground is likely to
be quite infertile. Land which is
slightly rolling or nearly level and
well drained is usually considered the
best.
Manure.
The use of manure is by far the
most important factor in securing
successful results. In order to get
satisfactory stand and yield we must
either have fertile soil, or the land
must be we'll MANFRED Immediately
preceding the alfalfa crop. We have
never known of an alfalfa field which
gave good yields on soil low in fer.
tility which was not MANFRED liber-
ally before seeding.
It is a notable fact that Of twenty
three Of our correspondents who
make special mention if the fact that
they MANFRED their field before plow-
ing the land for alfalfa, twenty-one
met with excellent success, one was
only partially successful and but one
failed.
Ten to twelve tons per acre Of well
rotted manure should be applied be-
fore blowing.
incubation.
While majority Of the successful
stands of alfalfa have been secured
without incubation, yet fewer fall
ures are recorded with incubation.
Besides, a number of the cooperative
experiments have shown that in prac
tically every instance where the soil
was inoculated a more vigorous
growth resulted than where no soil
was added. In many cases the diff
ference has been marked and notice
able; the difference between an abso-
Lutte success and total failure. And
when we consider the ease and slight
expense of insuring the presence Of
the necessary bacteria, we believe
that we can il-afford to risk loss
through this cause.
Secure soil for incubation from a
.1f,1fo Call ~ frnv,, n Sx,,nnk
clover patch in the community. Use
300 pounds or more per acre, distrib-
uting this as uniformly as possible
and narrowing it in well. This work
may well be done at the time of
seeding.
This soil should not be exposed to
the sun any more than necessary, and
ought to be applied toward evening
and narrowed in thoroughly at once,
as the direct rays of the sun soon
kill the bacteria.
The Use of Lime.
The results of the cooperative al
falfa tests indicate that on many of
our soils the use Of lime is to be rec
commended in alfalfa growing. An
application of from 1000 to $500
pounds of lime will make a marked
difference in the crop. Finely ground
limestone or limestone screenings
are the best forms to use.
The lime should ,e applied after
blowing and thoroughly disked in. 1t
should preferably be applied some
weeks in advance Of seeding. It may
be spread from a wagon with
shovel or a manure spreader may be
used. We have also used an old
broadcast grain seeder very success
fully.
