Dear Sir:-Our experience in grow
ing alfalfa is rather limited. but will
give you my experience such as it is.
"In the spring of 1915 we put in six
acres on land that had been cropped
with oats the previous year. The land
was spring -plowed, about seven inches
deep. then doubled -disced, leveled and
narrowed three times, twice before and
once after seeding. Seeding was done
the middle Of May with broadcast seed
er. ten pounds of seed to the acre was
used.
The seed terminated. but growth
was retarded considerably by volunteer
oats and weeds. Crop was cut before
the oats and weeds matured. but most
of the alfalfa remained on the ground
diately after cutting l irrigated. 1t
made a fair growth. We pastured it
down in October. The 1916 crop was
very promising. but on June the 18th it
was badly stripped by hail. The Sec
ond crop also was badly damaged by
grasshoppers so the crop did not pro-
duce as much as it should, but we fig
ure ten tons for our 1916 crops, which
we value at SIS per ton.
We handle the crop as follows: "Cut
when small shoots start at foot of
plant. remains in swath n day. then
raked up in windrows. left a day or
so. then it is put in small cocks. with
as little handling as possible. it re-
mains in cocks until cured. We feed
1t to dairy stock in connection with
mangles and find 1t an excellent food.
Have never fed full alfalfa ration
to horses, but have fed some in con-
nection with timothy and clover.
Hoping this will be of value to you,
am,
Your very truly.

incredibly light. The prisoners in

The Germans fought with the ut
most determination. All their machine

commissioned officers especially ap-
pointed, died at their guns. a Prus-
