Such affection interferes with the

II pays to seed alfalfa in q fertile
or fairly rich field even though 1t is

Alfalfa adds nitrogen to the soil and
increases fertility to that extent, but
since alfalfa yields heavily 1t uses
large amounts Of the other elements
of plant food. In order to produce the
best crop, 1t Is necessary to have
field that Is rich in substances that
go to make the stem and leaves OF the

The seed bed for alfalfa should be
firm, and we'll stored with moisture
and available plant food. The firm
seed bed allows free movement of the
water from the sub-soil and at the
same time furnishes che plant with
proper root hold. The ideal seed bed
is made by fall blowing and surface
working in the spring. Some growers
who are inexperienced with alfalfa
make the mistake Of blowing deeply
a short time before they wish to plant
the seed. A satisfactory bed for fall
seeding may be prepared by shallow
blowing OF wheat stuOble soon after
harvest. II the alfalfa is TO be planted

silage. Cane silage ranked second
and corn silage third. One hundred

this experiment. They were divided
into six groups, to demonstrate the
value Of the different feeds commonly
used by Kansas feeders. The average
daily gain for each calf for the 100
days ranged from 1.12 opunds to Las
