CULTlVATING ALFALFA.
A Difference of Opinion Among Grow
ers Regarding the Practice.

A Difference of Opinion Among Grow
ers Regarding the Practice.
There is a difference of opinion
among alfalfa growers in regard to the
practice of cuitivating the surface OF
alfalfa fields after the removal Of d
crop, says the Iowa Homestead. In the
dry regions the effect of surface cul-
tivation is to strengthen the growth
and thicken the crop, but there is some
question as to the advisabiity of doing
any cultivating whatever in the corn
belt The reason for this is that farm
ing implements tend, in many cases.
to split the alfalfa crowns in such a
way as to cause the root to rot and
because Of this many successful alfalfa
growers do little work on the surface
after getting a stand.
This matter is briefly discussed in
the following extract sent out by the
Farm improvement association of Win
nebagO county, ILL.,:
The best time to cultivate alfalfa
is in the spring after danger of freez-
ing, before the plants have made too
much start. The next best time to
cultivate is in the fall after the last
cutting. Alfalfa may be cultivated i'm
mediately after the first or second cut
ting, but this is not very practical on
account of lack of time and labor and
less desirable than spring or fall cul-
tivation, because summer cultivation
may check the growth of the alfalfa
and is likely to leave the ground too
loose and perhaps too cloddy ana
dusty. The alfalfa shovel cultivator
or alfalfa spring tooth harrow is the
best implement to use, but the disk
harrow will give good results, espe-
cially in the spring, if carefully used.
"Set the disks rather straight and
weight the harrow if necessary, max
ing It cut two or three inches deep
Double disk or cross disk if necessary.
and finish with the common straight
tooth harrow in order to pull out the
grass and weeds and to thoroughly
pulverize the soil and level it.
''It is not advisable to disk alfalfa
uulu TIE tuIu year dlleT SeeuluS. lie
common harrow and perhaps the spring
tooth harrow or alfalfa cultivator may
be used the second year"
1t is questionable If so strong an in
dOrsement Of the cultivation system |
can be secured from the majority of |
alfalfa growers Of the corn belt. In |
the case Of a dry season the creation |
Of a mulch by using a spring tooth |
harrow OF shovel cultivator may great
ly benefit the alfalfa crop, but in the
case of a wet year the grower Of al
falfa had better go rather slowly in
adopting the practice Of stirring the
surface of alfalfa fields. 1t is true that
in some instances all the surface cul-
-ivation win tend to keep blue grass
in check, but one must choose between
the desirability of injuring the blue
grass and the injurious result that is
apt to be produced on the alfalfa crop
tself by surface cutting and surface
stirring.
