Grow Alfalfa This Spring.

There should be acres of alfalfa
sown in this county this year. The
acreage of this fine clover should in.
crease every year, until it becomes
one of the principle forage crops OF
every farm. One acre, or even less
successfully grown, will convince any
body on earth of its value. There
isn't a farm in this county on which
alfalfa will not grow if given any
thing like living chance. Once get
taste of this wonderful grass, and its
position and firm establishment on the
farm is assured. But, better not
sow it early in the spring. The
crabgrass and weeds may hinder and
perhaps destroy it. Try it at last
blowing of your corn.
