ALFALFA AGAIN.

Clemson College, Aug. 16.-Fol-
lowing the account in a recent issue
of the Weekly News Notes in which
the experience of D. F. Efrd & Son
with alfalfa was given, the story of
Mr.. o. S. Poe, of Rock Hill, will be
of interest.
81 first selected a piece Of we'll
drained land that is sufficiently rich
to grow, for as you know one cannot
make a good crop of anything on
poor soil. The land must be well
drained. In early summer I begin
preparing this land by breaking it as
deep as 1 possibly can, then harrow
it with a disk. In about three weeks
the grass begins to grow harrow it
again, and continue this up to the
time of seeding, which should be
done from the first to the fifteenth of
September. When ready to seed this
field of alfalfa, 1 take my disk and
harrow the land until 1 feel that l
cannot prepare it any better. l tnen
put about three tons of agricultural
lime to the acre, using lime distri-
butor, and by using this, it is not nec-
essary to harrow in the lime. Then
1 apply five hundred to six hundred
pounds of fertilizer per acre, some
thing like an S-3-3. I then planted
about twenty to twenty-five pounds
Of seed to the acre. The seed, of
course, should be inoculated before
sowing. I run a light harrow over
the land then use roller, a CORFU
gated roller is best. After doing
this, l never do anything else to the
alfalfa but harvest it. That OF
course is done with a regular moving
machine. Usually, I NOW my al
falfa in the morning. If the weather
is hot and dry, I rake it into windows
that afternoon. The next afternoon
I haul it up. If alfalfa is allowed to
stay on the ground too long, It loses
all its leaves. The curing Of Alfalfa
is like the curing of any other hay.
It requires some judgment to take
advantage of weather conditions.
GAS to feeding, I feed it to my,
horses, COWS and hogs. They all
like it and do well on it.
Last year I plowed up a field OF
ten acres that had been planted
about five years, and was beginning
to have a good many weeds in it.
I prepared this land and planted it
in corn and it made the best of corn
that had ever grown. know OF
nothing that I think will build up
our soil as we'll as alfalfa. I be-
lieve it will pay to plant our land
in alfalfa as a soil improver, if we
never cut it for feed.
"From the ten acres Of which l
sent you a photograph, I cut last
year about forty tons of cured alfal-
ia. This was cut five times during
the year, but the last cutting was
merely clipped and not raked up.
On part of this field have gotten
as much as one and one-half tons
