I harrow itj 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 to alfalfa, 1 take
my disk and harrow the land until
I feel that I cannot prepare it any
better. I then put about three tons
of agricultural lime to the acre, US
ing a lime distributor, and by using
this, it is not necessary to harrow
in the line. Then I apply five hum
dred to six hundred pounds of fer
tilizer per acre, something 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.
T run a light harrow over the land,
then use a roller, a corrogated roller
is best. After doing this, I never
do anything else to the alfalfa but
harvest it. That Of course is done
with a. regular moving machine.
Usually, I NOW my alfalfa in the
morning. If the weather is hot and
dry, I rake it into windrows that af-
'ternoon. The next afternoon I haul
it up. If alfalfa is allowed to stay
on the ground too. long, it loses all
it's 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 we'll 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, I have ever grown. I 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 I
sent you, photograph, I cut last
year about forty tons of cured alfalfa
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-half tons to the acre at one
cutting. -;
