PREPARING ALFALFA LAND;
GOOD SEED BED NEEDED
BY M. r. Miller, Professor Of Agron.
omy, University Of
Missouri.

The Missouri experiment station at
columbia has made no experiments
with the single idea of determining
the best methods of soil preparation
Tor alfalfa. However various expert.
ments in which different methods
were used indicates what appear to
be the proper and improper methods,
In the first place, 1t may be said
that on soils well adapted to alfalfa
the matter of soil preparation is not
OF so much Importance as on those
poorly adapted to the crop. II is to
these latter soils that the most atten-
ton must be given. On such soils.
where fall sowing is practlced, II Is
best to have the land plowed a con
siderable time before the time to SOW
the seed. In order that It may become
well compacted in the under layers.
Recently plowed soil is not prop.
err seed bed for alfalfa, for, like wheat,
1t requires a loose surface soil with
q compact soil beneath. Usually wheat
land may be turned for alfalfa with
good results II the wheat Is gotten of
sufficiently early, and providing the
land is reasonably fertile to furnish
plant food for permanent stand.
A crop that removes much moisture
from the soil, such as oats, cane or
cowpeas, is to be avoided unless they
may be removed early. Wheat, toe,
,,ttl ArNF IN ha
summer is one of considerable rain.
fall A moist fall will allow alfalfa to
follow any of these crops with little
difficulty as regards moisture, but n
dry fall makes It very important that
the water should not be so completely
removed from the soil to begin with.
The surest method Is to begin the
preparation Of the land in early sum.
mer and to harrow it whenever
crust forms or weeds start. This con.
serves the moisture and fertility and
frees the land of weeds, 80 that when
the alfalfa is put in the land Is clean
and In good condition for Its growth.
OF course, the character Of the land
must determine largely just when this
preparation shall be done. as care
must be taken to prevent the serious
washing of the surface, as occurs OH
the bare upiands.
Clover sod pastured down. literally
dressed with barnyard manure and
turned under early in the summer
gives one Of the best seed beds for
alfalfa. Heavy bluegrass or timothy
sod should be turned under early in
the spring If one wishes to SOW such
land to alfalfa. A loose, porous layer,
such as a heavy undecomposed sod
will give, cannot be tolerated under
ordinary conditions.
Young alfalfa plants are very ten
der and require careful handling to
secure q permanent foothold. 1t 10 for
