ALFALFA ON DRY LAND
To Get Plant Started Abundant
Supply Of Water Is Needed.
Weeds Are Especially Detrimental to
Development Of crop-Where
Winter Seasons Are Mild II
May Be Seeded In Fall

Alfalfa is heavy consumer OF mois-
ture and is suitable as a dry land
crop only because OF its deep roofing
system. But /. must be borne in mind
that roots will not penetrate In ground
where there is no moisture. To get
the alfalfa started well We must insure
an abundant supply Of moisture to
considerable depth in lie soil. There
fore We must use summerfallow for
the seeded. In fact, practically all
dry land forage crops should be seed
ed on summer-fallow. Weeds are es-
pecially detrimental to the develop
ment of the young alfalfa, writes NJ.
A. Mccall in Denver Field and Farm.
The bed should therefore be clean OF
weeds
In places where the winter season
is mild and the ground is not heaved
by winter freezing and thawing, II may
be seeded In the fall, but II there is
danger OF winter freezing It must be
seeded as early az possible in the
spring. On our plains II can be seed
ed as early as the first OF April with
good results Early seeding is adyan.
tageous In that ii enables US to place
the small seed In moist ground and
without sowing too deeply. Late seed
ing will usually be disastrous for 1t
Is impossible almost to put the seed
In moist soil. A drill Is used for SOW
ing Broadeasted alfalfa in the dry
land almost invariably falls, 1t is
quite successful, however. when sown
In rows about three feet apart.
Cultivate between the rows. Some
do this just as they would cultivate
corn. Others cultivate right over the
rows. In general the soil beneath the
rows should be kept In loose. well pull
verified condition and free from weeds.
BY the time the alfalfa is ready TO cut
II will have spread out and filled the
intervening space between rows SO
that the field will present solid mass
of green. II is better to have a grass
seeder attachment to the drill. This
usually can be purchased for about
$3.50. A common little garden seed
drill Is used by some folks but II seed.
ing to any extent the grain drill is
preferable.
One and one-half to two pounds OF
seed to the acre Ia sufficient. This
may seem ridieulously small. but there
are from 100000 to 100000 alfalfa
seeds in pound This amount OF
seed distributed evenly over an acre
would give about six seeds to each
square foot of soil. AT that -ate IL
all the seed grew, sne pound Of seed
on dry land would be more than Is
necessary. Ursier irrigation the best
stands for alfalfa will not give more
than two plants TO the square foot,
and for dry land purposes we need
them less than that One plant
to every eightinch or twelye-inch
square in the dry land belt would be
a magnificent stand. For seed produc.
tion we should have even less than
that amount.
