seen. On the deeper soil the alfalfa
was thin ard weak. took samples
and found that on the deep soil large
amount of acid. I noticed this same
condition on a field west of town last
week
The alfalfa plant is a great lover Of
limestone and where there is not
enough of it the plant starves. On the
shallowest lands the surface soil is i'm
mediately underlain with the limestone
and we get out best crops of alfalfa.
There are a number of the shallow
farms that grow alfalfa as easily as any
other crop. If you notice as you drive
along the roads, you'll always see
sweet clover making thick vigorous
stand where there is plenty of limestone
in the soil, cropping out. We not only
need limestone in the soil, but we es-
pecially need large amounts of it in the
surface SOIL
With our we'll drained fields aud our
limitless stores of limestone we can
make a success of alfalfa, the best hay
crop, that we have.
Winter killing will not be nearly so
serious if we have plenty of limestone
and the fields are not cut Or pastured
after September 1. On the GRADER
farm, south of Mineral Point, 80 plots
Of alfalfa were put in June 81, 1917.
These plots were on a level field that
was tile drained. During the spring
considerable water stood on the field.
Here in spite of the fact that there was
large amount of heaving Of the soil,
the Grimm plots came thru with flying
colors. Experience shows that this is
one of our hardest varieties.
Does your soil need lime to grow al
falfa? [ find that there are men re-
peatedly trying to grow the crop and
can't because their fields are too sour.
Also there are other men that could
raise the crop readily if they tried
Send in a soil sample. We can tell
you if your land needs lime to grow al
falfa and how much to apply.
