results alone. We need alfalfa be-
cause II balances VI the corn ration
and saves the large waste of starch
which always takes place where corn

own farms the protein more p~rof1tably

need alfalfa because 1t feeds the soil

because 1t produces on an average
double the feed valu per acre OF

In regions where alfalfa has not

Alfalfa Essentials.
A well prepared, firm. solid seed

and fallow to kill the weeds. are most
important Lime? Yes, one to two
loads per acre. and by all means inoc-
ulate. Ground toe wet for corn Is not
suited for alfalfa.
Make a Beginning-Start Now.
Every farmer should try at least a
small piece of alfalfa. and If h. does
not succeed al first, try again and
keep on trying until he does succeed.
1t is worth the while. If the work is
thoroughly done and at the proper
time, you WIFI most certainly succeed
in securing a good stand: If the work
is half done and out of season, You
will just as certainly fail. Make a
