sonable price

STARTING ALFALFA EARLY.
Seed Bed Should Be Well Prepared and
Compact.

Starting alfalfa on the Jump re-
quires that the seed bed be well pre-
pared and then that the plants are
given plenty Of plant food, says the
Home and Farm. Alfalfa requires a
rather compact seed bed. Its prepare
ton depends on the preceding crop.
Investigation Of the methods of the
leading growers Of alfalfa shows that
the general practice Is to plow the
ground early, harrow every week or
ten days until the weeds are all killed
and the fine, firm bed that is required
is obtained. Many farmers have got
good stands by seeding in the corn
before the last cultivation.
When alfalfa is seeded after early
truck crops the need Of summer fal-
lowing is eliminated and the farmer
gets market crop during the same
