TO SUCCEED WITH ALFALFA
Under Certain Conditions Crop VIII
Prove suceess-lnoeuIation 10
On Of Essentials

It is pretty well demonstrated that
alfalfa will grow and afford large
yield Of good forage wherever the
following conditions exist:
1. A we'll drained soil, with water
not standing closer than four or five
feet Of the surface and preferably at
a much lower depth.
2. A soil naturally containing one
Der cent or more of calcium carbon
ate, or on which three to four tons OF
ground limestone Is applied every
four or i've years.
8. A soil naturally rich, or one OF
fair natural fertility made rich by the
use Of fertilizers.
4. A soil sufficiently inoculated
with the germs which live on the
roots of the alfalfa plants and help
them to get nitrogen from the air.
Without these conditions alfalfa will
be a failure, with them it will prob
ably be q success.
