soD-BoUND ALFALFA FIELDS
@ethods Employed In Reeeneratins
Vary Great Deai-Diskins 10
Most Popular System.
CBy H. F. pATrERsoN3

The methods used In regenerating
an old field OF alfalfa vary a great
deal Perhaps the method that is
used to the largest extent throughout
all of the northwest states is the meth
cd OF disking the land early in the
spring. Whether or not 1t is a good
plan to disk alfalfa land is question
upon which there has been much diff
ference OF opinion. However, II this
work is done properly there seems to
be a good reason for SO handling our
field
In localities where there is but
small amount of rainfall and where
the soil becomes hard and impervious
to water 1t is very good practice to
follow. Then again In regions where
there is sufficient rainfall and where
the winter season is open. the thawing
and freezing will tend to loosen up the
ground and in that way have the same
effect as disking in the arid regions
It is a well-known fact that the disk
Ing of the stems will cause them to be
come very much thicker. However. in
iisking alfalfa there is some danger
n that the crowns very often become
infected with fungus diseases which
will oftentimes destroy the entire
plant. We must keep this in mind and
must govern our actions accordingly
That is. we must use extreme care in
order that the crowns of the plants
viii not be injured to any great ex
sent.
The disking of course will cut the
crowns and there is always the danger
that the fungus diseases will set in
However. If we are careful and do not
allow the diseases in our fields on the
start and are careful that our disk Ia
very clean, this danger will be almost
entirely eliminated The disk should
be SO set that 1t will cut the crowns
Of the plants rather than gouge them
out. Some farmers have had success
by getting the disk nearly straight and
running the disk each way. This will
1ivide the crown into four equal por.
lions and each part will send up new
alfalfa plant and in that way the stand
will be materially thickened.
Then again It is well to disk the
alfalfa field when the field has become
infested with blue grass and dande
lions. which will choke out a large
amount of the alfalfa.
Farmers have also had success by
putting on from five to six pounds OF
ilfalfa seed. especially upon fields
hat have become infested with dande
ions. 1t is sometimes a good plan tc
add small amount of clover seed to
he alfalfa. The clover germinates
very rapidly and will get a good start
and will thus keep down the weeds
The clover will die out in a year OF
.wo and we will still have a good
stand of alfalfa. We would suggest
he following Of this plan upon a large
number of our alfalfa fields that have
grown alfalfa for three or four years
By getting In and disking 1t is pos.
sible to thicken up the stand to such
an extent that we can grow our alfalfa
upon the same field for. three or four
years longer and still obtain large and
profitable crops. The best time to
disk the alfalfa is in the early spring
because the young plants can thus OBJ
tain very early start.
