W|NTERKILL!NG HALTS
ALFALFA ACREAGE
BY n. L. RUSSELL,
Director Wisconsin Experiment sta


Winterkilling continues to be the
most serious drawback to the extern
sion of alfalfa in this state. This con
dition not only causes loss by the &C
tual destruction of the plant, ana
therefore by diminishing the stand
but il also reduces the yield by weak
aning the vigor Of the growth OF the
surviving plants. L. F. GRADER, the
station alfalfa authority, finds the two
most successful ways to overcome this
difficulty are:
1. By cutting the crop not later than
the first week in September in order
RI allow sufficient fall growth to de-
yelop that will give protection to the
roots during the winter.
2. Much more successful results,
however. can be secured by seeding Of
hardy varieties, of which the Grimm,
Baltic. Cossack and Turkestan are by
far the most successful. Even these
hardy varities when cut late in the
season are injured to slight extent
under our Wisconsin conditions.
Tn variety tests it often happens that
the Weld of the common strains is
fully equal the first year TO that of the
hardy Russian and Asiatic strains, but
