The best plan, where the alfalfa sod
is beginning to show the ravages OF
wear, is to plow up the field and de-
vote it to some cultivated crop, such
as corn, for one or two years, and then
to reseed it to alfalfa after preparing
a proper seed bed, lining the soil If
necessary, properly inoculating the
soil or seed, and sowing the seed early
enough in the fall so that the crop
will establish a vigorous root system
