STATION TO COOPERATE
With ALFALFA growers

The Delaware Experiment Station de-
sires to secure the cooperation of a num-
Der of farmers throughout the State in
growing alfalfa. 1t is thought that the
plan of having the farmer grow a small
tract of alfalfa under the direction of
the Station will serve two purposes.
First, wider knowledge of the adapta-
bility of Delaware sells to this valuable
crop will be secured. Secondly, the loca-
ton of fields in various localities will
serve to demonstrate the cultural needs
of the alfalfa crop and its management
The primary object of this work is to
bring to the attention of the grower the
Importance of soil preparation and the
vital necessity for certain fertilizers,
lime and incubation in securing salts
factory results with alfalfa.
The Experiment Station will give sug
gestiOns as to soil, its preparation, the
kind and amount of fertilizers to use,
lime and incubation. The Station will
also furnish free Of charge the seed and
inOculating material.
The grower will be expected to pre-
pare the soil, furnish the fertilizers,
lime, and to follow certain suggestions
as to method of sowing.
The area of these test fields should
not be less than One-half acre nor more
than one acre.
All persons desiring to cooperate with
the Station in this way should write to
Prof. A. E. Grantham, Newark, Del,
for further particulars.
