ALFALFA NOT A TENDER PLANT
Do Not Sow on Old Sour Soil With
out Manuring or Lining or Both

Ey Hon. F. L. Hatch, Spring Grove, III
The cost Of seed and the supposed
uncertainty Of getting a stand has
kept many from raising alfalfa, and
never having fed it do not realize its
value. H.,
Most of the failures result from
lack Of following instructions given
by growers of alfalfa. Alfalfa will
not grow on old, WORKOUT, sour land
until it has been MANFRED or lined
to sweeten it. The ground must be
well prepared and contain enough hui
mus to nourish the crop the first
season, then if the soil has been inoc-
ulated by spreading sweet clover or
alfalfa soil which is known to contain
bacteria on same, it will take care
of itself If the field sown is we'll
drained.
"One must not pasture alfalfa when
the ground Is saturated with water,
or when the alfalfa is frozen, al
though it is not a tender plant when
we'll started.
IF one is certain his land is right
and fails Of a stand, SOW the same
field again the next year, as the crop
seems to do best where used the
most. I suppose this comes from in
oculation taking place during the first
trial. You can grow without inocula-
ton If land is rich, but you can't At.

ALFALFA CAMPAIGNS.
How the Expenses Arc Met-Part
Taken by the Local People-As-

Alfalfa campaigns are conducted on
a cooperative basis between the 10.

ty, and Prof. P. G. Holden, director
Of the Agricultural Extension Dept.
International Harvester Co. Of N. J.
Where campaigns are contemplated
it is required, first, that request be
made to the Agricultural Extension De
partment for assistance in carrying
on the campaign.
What the local people will provide:
(1) Expenses (meals and lodging)
for the alfalfa speakers and staff upon
their arrival and during the cam
paign. -''---
(2) From 10 to 20 automobiles for
each day of the campaign to carry the
alfalfa crew and invited guests; one
auto truck to carry literature, bag
gage, charts, and other equipment.
(3) Arrange for meeting places and
publish schedule of same.

(5) Photographer, II possible.

(2) Lecturers. ...
(3) Literature.

(5) Field men to follow up the pre-
liminary work and aid the people In
any community where sufficient inter

The experiment set forth in the &C.
companying chart was made in Can
ada, where it was found that alfalfa
sod yielded 61.5 bushels of wheat per
acre, as compared with AZ bushels on
timothy sod.
Barley yielded 80 bushels per acre
on alfalfa sod, and only 20 bushels on
timothy sod. Canada is not corn
country, yet the experiments show
similar results. Alfalfa sod yielded
"a bushels per acre of corn, as COM
pared with 10 bushels on timothy sod.
This is only one of many such expert
ments which give the same results,
proving alfalfa to be q soil enriching
crop. .~

to grow an acre of timothy or clover.
The average cost Of growing an acre
OF clover or timothy Is approximately
$1,000. Thus the farmer would clear
$500 per acre in growing these crops,
whereas if he grew alfalfa he would
make profit Of $21.00 per acre, or
over five times the income received
from any one Of the other hay crops.
The latest reports from Wisconsin
show nearly 10000 acres seeded to al
falfa with an average Of about four
tons to the acre.

Census Figures Which Talk

According to the 1910 census Of the

$4,000 acres Of alfalfa, which averaged
2.8 tons per acre for the entire state,
and the average acre value Of the
crop was $1,000. During the same
year the combined acreage of timothy
and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre,
valued at $14.00. 1t costs no more to

ALFALFA ENRIcHEs THE LAND
Besides Producing More Abundant
Harvests Alfalfa Adds Plant Food

Alfalfa enriches the soil. The roots
Of the alfalfa plant penetrate IL to
IS feet into the soil-far beyond the
reach OF corn, wheat, oats and
other shallow roofing plants. In
this way potash, phosphorus and 9th
er elements of plant food are drawn
up from below through tho roots of
the alfalfa plant and stored in the
upper soil for the use of other crops.

AdvisabIe to lnoculate.

In regions where alfalfa has not
been grown it is found to be neces-
sary to inoculate the ground by SOW
ing three or four bags of soil secured
from a field where alfalfa or sweet
clover has been grown for
number of years; or where II
is more convenient, artificial cul.
ture, such as "nitragin," "farmo-
germ" ETC., may be applied. Where
alfalfa has not been grown before it
may make the difference between sue
cess and failure.
Alfalfa a Poor Weed Fighter.
Alfalfa, when small, grows slowly,
and is not good fighter, i. e., cannot
compete with weeds and especially
with crab grass and oats, wheat, or
barley, as the case may be, and when
these are cut off the alfalfa is in no
condition to compete with foxtail and
other weeds during the dry weather Of
July and August. When sown in the
spring without a nurse crop, there is
q constant struggle with the weeds
duriEs the entire season, and the
weeds generally come out best, leav-
ing a poor patchy stand of alfalfa.
Alfalfa Essentials.
A well prepared, firm, solid seed
bed, plenty of good barnyard manue,
and fallow to kill the weeds, are most
important. Lime? Yes, one to two
loads per acre, and by all means in
oculate. Ground too wet for corn is
not suited for alfalfa.
Make a Beginning-start Now.
Every farmer should try at least
- small piece of alfalfa and If he
does not succeed at first, try
again and keep on trying until he does
. succeed. It is worth the while. If
the work is thoroughly done and at
the propert time, you will most GER
family succeed in securing "a good
stand; If the work is half dbne and
out OF season, you will just . GER
I tainly fail. Make . bssilnit start

Why We Need Alfalfa.

I, There is no combination of feeds
70 economical for the production Of
beef, pork, mutton, butter and eggs,
- corn and alfalfa. Neither will give
the best results alone. We need alfal-
q because It balances up the corn
ration and saves the large waste Of
starch which always takes place
lwhere corn is fed alone. We need
01ara because We can in this way
grow on our own farms the protein
more profitably than we can buy it in
feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because
1t feeds the soil and enables us to
grow larger crops of corn and oats.
We need alfalfa because it produces
on an average double the feed value
per acre of clover or any other forage
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1913-07-24

Repeated experiments made by the
agricultural colleges, and the results
obtained by the actual growers Of al
falfa in the seni-arid sections Of the
west throughout the corn belt states,
and In the south and east, are conclu-
slve evidence of the great value Of
alfalfa.
Many of us are slow to recognize
Its great value, but alfalfa will soon
be grown abundantly and profit
ably upon every farm. 1t is no
more difficult to grow than clover
and gives double the yield. The
deep roofing habit of alfalfa enables
st to resist drouth when clover, tim
othy, blue grass and other forage
grasses die for want of moisture. Al
falfa roots grow deep into the soil

Reception With the Farmers.

Prof. P. G. Holden, director OF tho
Agricultural Extension Department OF
the International Harvester Company
of New Jersey, has planned and put
into operation a new method OF ex-
tending agricultural knowledge.
Holden was the originator of agri-
cultural demonstration trains; of ag-
ricultural short courses, and many
other effective plans, through the
agency of which millions Of dollars
have been added to the agricultural
wealth of this country.
The latest plan of Holden is to
place alfalfa upon every farm. There
are three prominent features in his
plan:
CD The introduction of a compare
lively new crop into the Corn
Belt, Southern and Eastern
states.
(2) Going direct to the homes of the
farmers, where meetings are
held in the fields, and success
and failure discussed according
to local conditions. s.
