ALFALFA.

In all probability many of the fafl- ures made in attempting to grow al- falfa, and to maintain stands after one of two years of cropping, may be attyibuted to poor seed, writes George N. Smith, in the Connecticut Farmer. It is pretty generally agreed that Grimm is preferably to all other of the known varieties of alfalfa seed. Ac- cording to the U. s. department of Agriculture commercial Turkestan seed is neither hardy in northern lati- tudes, nor adopted to. the humid clt- mate of the East. The department states that approximately one-flfth of the alfalfa seed used in the United States is imported; and of this quan- tity, practically all comes from Rus sian Turkestan, and that most of the imported Turkestan seed Is used in the East. It would seem. therefore, that the extensive use of Turkestan seed is responsible for many of the failures made fin the growing of al- falfa- Farmers who have had ut1fort- unate experiences in their attempts to grow alfalfa may well bear this in mind and make another start with improved varieties of seed, particular 1y the Grimm. The leading alfalfa specialists of New England are placing great emphasis upon the importance of using only the very best strains of seed. Since so much depends upon the kind of seed. it would seem wise to make certain that the seed pur- chased is the very best seed obtain able.
