In this portion of the state alfalfa
raisers have given up hopes for a seed
crop this year. The heavy rains and
cool weather are not the requirements
for An alfalfa seed crop, dry and
warm weather being required for
such development. The damp and
cool weather gives the raisers an
other cutting for hay, but there has
been no seed development except
possibly in a few small tracts, and
the seed harvest in the central part
of the state will not be worth men,
tioning.
