MORE ABOUT ALFALFA
Don't Make Any Mistake
When You Start Produc-
ing It-Needs Much Nitro
Oan

The old timers who claimed
that alfalfa could not be grown
in Wisconsin THAT has been ar
gued within recent years by men
who should have known BETTER
and who later said that its pro-
duction would interfere with
proper rotations. haye gone
away back and sat down. They
are heard no more and now the
progressive people of the state
have a chance to be heard. The
acreage of alfalfa is doubling up
at a rapid rate. In 1909 there
were some 1900 acres-by1919
there will be at least 100000
acres and perhaps twice that.
The farmers of Wisconsin are
great on action when they are
once convinced.
Alfalfa is plant that needs at
tention until it gets a good start
then it becomes one of the
strongest plants known to that
kingdom. See to it that it is
started right.
Alfalfa will not stand cold
feet" This is important and he
who disregards the fact is likely
to lose his efforts. Another i'm
portant fact is that there must
be few or no weeds while the al
falfa is in its infancy. Good
drainage and proper planting
are probably the two most inn
portant matters in starting an
alfalfa plot. See to them.
Alfalfa will not do we'll on acid
soils and a certain per centage OF
acidity will utterly defeat it.
Lime in some form is a cure for
this trouble where it prevails,
and the additional value Of alfal-
ia over other hay will in a season
pay for the treatment. Be sure
about this. 1t is easy to de-
termine acidity.
Alfalfa demands certain bac-
terra to supply the extra amount
of nitrogen which it consumes.
This is plain when it is known
that during a season alfalfa will
consume four or five times as
much nitrogen as clover and i'm
measurably more than any other
grass. See to 1t that the soil is
we'll supplied with manure con-
tanning a high per centage of
nitrogen that will supply the de-
mand while the nitrogen-supply-
ing bacteria are multiplying
they double in number each 20
minutes) and many a crop will
be saved.
Under no circumstances start
