! tBy p. G. HOLDEN, Former Dean OF
Iowa State College,
incubation never hurts, is generally
beneficial and often essential to the
growing of alfalfa.
In regions where alfalfa has not
been grown 1t is frequently found TO
be very beneficial to inoculate the
ground by sowing three or four hun
dred pounds of soil secured from field
where alfalfa has been grown for a
number Of years: or where 1t is more
convenient, artificial cultures such as
nitrogen, farmOgerm, etc, may be ap-
piled.
Well Prepared Seed Bed.
Alfalfa seed may be either drilled, or
sOwed broadcast and narrowed in. The
seed can be more evenly distributed If
One-half Is sOwn in one direction and
the other half sown at right angles. 1t
is always a good plan to SOW the seed
little thicker around the edges of
the field, as this portion of the field is
more subject to injury from insects,
foxtail, etc.
While 1t is the custom in the humid
regions to sow 20 pounds of seed to
the acre, ten to twelve pounds is suffi-
Client. If evenly distributed this will
give from fifty to sixty seeds for every
square foot, while one thrifty plant to
the square foot is sufficient.
A well-prepared, firm, solid seeded,
plenty Of good barnyard manure, and
summer fallOw to kill the weeds. are
most important Then comes lime.
incubation and phosphorus are fire.
quently beneficial. Ground too wet
for corn Is not suited to alfalfa.
Cut at Proper Time.
When possible to do so It is best to
cut alfalfa in the late afternoon or
evening. Dew or rain on the freshly
cut alfalfa will not injure it. In the
morning the tedder should be started
as soon as most of the dew is off and
before there is any danger Of knocking
off the leaves. 1t is often advisable to 20
over 1t more than once. 1t should be
cut before 1t Is in full bloom or as
soon as the young sprouts or shoots
start to grow at the base of the plant
When alfalfa Is left too long before
cutting, the stems become woody, and
the yield of the next crop Is greatly
reduced, and in addition the leaves,
which are the most valuable part of
the plant, fall off.
Equal to Wheat Brar.
The alfalfa should be raked and
either put in the barn, or If it Is not
dry, put into haycocks. 1t
Is a matter of economy to have two
or three hundred hay caps (made of
six-cent muslin one yard square) to
use in case of bad weather. You may
think this is considerable bother, but
there Is no use in growing alfalfa and
then allowing 1t to spoil.
When we remember that good al
falfa brings us in actual results nearly |
as great returns as wheat bran, we
can better realize the Importance of |
taking care Of 1t. II any Of us had 500
'haycocks of bran" in the field, we |
would take care of them, but with al
falfa we think Of 1t as "just hay"
Alfalfa hay is rather hard to cure.
