1t is a wise and desirable practice 20
prepare land intended for alfalfa well
in advance of the time you expect to
seed it. This is a rather difficult crop
to establish and the success attending
its seeding will be determined largely
by the manner in which the land is pre-
pared. The soil chosen for an alfalfa
patch should be rather friable, contain
an abundance of humus and be well
drained. If il does not possess these
qualities and cannot be drained so as to
develop them it is hardly worth while
to seed ii to alfalfa. There lis nothing
better to prepare land for this crop than
the growth of cowpeas or velvet beans
We prefer cowpeas, because as a rule
they mature earlier than velvet beans.
If the cowpeas say are seeded as soon
as danger of frost is past, they will!
easily be ready to turn under by the
first of September. They should be
buried to a good depth when plowed
down, and the land should be compact so
as to insure the rapid rise of moisture
to the surface of the ground. Frequent
stirring of the surface will then pre-
vent the escape of this moisture directly
into the air. AS a result, the vines will
decay quickly and the nitrogen they COM
tain become available and stimulate the
early growth and development of the al
falfa-
Before planting the cowpeas lime the
land using two tons of raw, finely crush
ed rock. After you pillow the vines I'M
der, put on two tons more of lime, har-
row it we'll into the soil, allow the land
to stand and firm for thirty days be-
fore you plant the alfalfa Secure well
cleaned western seed, inoculate with an
artificial culture, say at the rate of 20
pounds per acre. Distribute the seed
with barrel seeder and cover with a
weeder. Do the seeding on a dark day
so as to protect the bacteria from injury
through the action of the sun. Before
seeding use a mixture of 500 to 1000
pounds of fertilizer per acre consisting
of equal parts Of cottcnseed meal and
high-grade acid phosphate.
If you follow these instructions care
fully and obtain a good stand, you
should be able to cut the alfalfa for
hay the next spring. We have it here
on the farm and have cut it as much as
an average of five times a year for sew
eral years in succession. 1t is rather
a costly and somewhat difficult crop to.
establish. but it will pay handsome div
idels on the investment

The Best Means of Fighting the Red
Spider
J. f. T., Of JeffersOnville, writes: viii
You recommend a remedy and give full
directions for controlling the red spider?
The red spider causes more or less
damage to the cotton crop In Georgia
and the adjoining southern states. 1t
Is worse some years than others. Many
reports of it's depreciation have been re-
ceived this summer, hence the damage
it is doing must be rather widespread.
