ALTA FA TESTS
GREAT SUCCESS
FOUR OUT OF FIVE EXPERIMENTS
IN THE COUNTY ALMOST
PERFECT.

Out of FIVE fields that County Agent
Farris induced farmers last fall to
saw in alfalfa there are four fine
stands and portion of stand on the
other. The one that is a partial fail
ure would have been all right but for
the fact that the land was very loose
and rolling and was very greatly dam
aged by the constant flooding rains.
There were about sixty acres sown
IN the fall under the direction of Prof
Farris and no less than fifty of them
will produce good hay. Today Mr.
Farris brought to The Herald office a
sample of the alfalfa taken from the
field of Henry Francis Alexander
near the city, that measured twenty
tvs inches. 1t will grow much larger
before time for the first cutting. The
fields sown last fall to this crop were
on the farms of William P. Ridley, at
Clifton Place, Henry Frank Alexander,
Clarence w. Alexander, James A.
English and Horace Rainey.
Prof. Farris is very much gratified
over the results of the experiments
and believes that the success of these
farmers will induce a largely in
creased number to plant this magnifi-
cent legume next fall.
