After five years of careful culture
and study, using this Corn Field
Method" of seeding alfalfa, and more
especially, after conducting the above
experiment | am fully convinced that
during a period Of ten years one
should get at least nine good stands
of alfalfa where the job is rightly
done.
| find it better than the nurse crop
plan. First, because one never has
to sacrifice the nurse crop to save
the alfalfa. Second, because one Sc
cures better thar a normal crop of
corn, because he will give better cul-
tivatiOn. And the better the corn cul-
t~ivation the better will be the alfalfa.
Third, because there is a saving of
about 40R Of the alfalfa seed. Fourth,
because the alfalfa plant has a 500
better chance after harvest than the
nurse crop alfalfa.
1t is my desire to boost this alfalfa
proposition, and | will gladly answer

SOME ALFALFA EXPERIENCE
(By Frank Sherwin)

(By Frank SherWin)
Haveing had fifteen years expert
ence in Alfalfa Culture, some Of my
experience may prove helpful to many
readers of your valuable paper.
Thousands and thousands of farmers
have caught the alfalfa bug" long
enough to give the crop one trial, and
when overtaken by failure, they have
thrown up their hands and cried
"Kamerad," and published it in their
neighborhood that alfalfa will not
grow in their locality" and they do
money on the crop. Others have
studied the crop, gotten all informa-
ton possible regarding its culture, and
are today reaping their just rewards
fine crops each season and are loud
in it's praise.
The writer has not had a series of
all successes either. One year sowed
20 acres with nurse crop of oats, 4
acres Of this was entirely blown out
soon after seeding, by winds, nurse
crop and all. The 16 acres came fine
both nurse crop and alfalfa. | used
20 pounds seed per acre. The soil
being very rich, the oats went down
badly in spots. Resulting in the total
destruction of alfalfa in lodged places
which caused the blowing up of that
10 acres. But as DOR as blown out.
the 4 acres was reseeded with alfalfa
about May 10th, with no nurse crop,
cut three crops every year for ten
years. This was proof tot me that
there is more than n way to skin
a cat" My fifteen years experience
has taught me that.
Five things are absolutely essential
if one wants to be uniformly success
full in getting a stand of alfalfa, viz:
First, soil thoroughly ~pulyerized and
then well packed below the top inch.
Second, soil should be well enriched
and the fertilizer well rotted. (Old
pastures are fne).
Third, good seed raised on non-ir-
rigated land and seed not raised south
Of your locality.
Fourth, soil innoculation where
needed.
Fifth, some method of sowing the
seed that will deposit it One-half to
one inch deep, no more no less.
For the past five years the writer
has been using what is known as the
Corn Field Method" of seeding al
falfa with splendid results. This
method consists of seeding alfalfa
in the growing corn in July or August.
The corr field should be well a
ured and the manure we'll plowed un-
der. The corr rows should be care
fully planted, avoiding any narrow
spaces between rows. which bothers
the seeding apparatus. Level cult
walton and perfect eradication OF
weeds only, makes the perfect seed
bed for alfalfa. In case the soil ct
laying by" time is dry and loose, use
a plank or harrow or old mower
wheel. or some other tool TO pack
this soil for the alfalfa needs a packed
soil to enable the little roots TO quick
ly take hold" A loose soil enables
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1918-12-26

the hot winds and sun to dry up the
little hairy roots and kill them before
they take hold" One cannot imagine
a more perfect seed bed for alfalfa
Now the seed can be sown either
broadcast or in drills. Drilling is tC
be preferred as it gives a more even
stand, and a more eve depth. One
year | secured or twenty acres, a fine
stand by broadcasting, and then going
over with a narrow plank between the
corn rows to cover. However, in sow.
ing the seed the hills of corn warGed
off the seed and there was a spot a
foot square around each hill of corr
where there was no alfalfa.
The corn seems to protect the tend
er young alfalfa plants from tho sun
and winds and the stalks or strbble
catch the winter SHOWS thus Protect,
ing the alfalfa during winter and
spring and furnishing an extra amount
Of moisture for use in the spring,
which gives the alfalfa an extra good
start.
The writer has seeded more or less
each for five years in corn with rot
a failure.
The past season, in order to aSCer-
tain if possible the best date 70 do
this seeding, | used Is different plots,
planting all to Dent corn, May Goth,
planting in drills, east and west, one
kernel every 13 inches, securing a
perfect stand of corn.
In seeding | used a one-hOrse drill
with press wheels which deposited
and covered the seed at an ven
depth,-the drill puts 6 row Of al
falfa between each 9 rows of corn,
the rows of alfalfa being 6k to Z in.

this experiment.
