,condition for starting alfalfa, and the
young plants in such seedbed are
likely to dry out or heave out during
the first year. Other factors which
have to with decreasing the vitality
;of alfalfa plants, thus making them
more susceptible to winterkilling, are
weeds, insects, diseases and animal
pests, particularly moles and gophers.
The factors named are qualifying
factors which reduce the vitality OF
the alfalfa, making 1t more likely to
:winterkill, but even under the most
favorable conditions of growth. alfal-
ia frequently winterkills in our north
rern climate, and this Is the condition
which we desire investigate.
Kinds Of erkiIIIns.
Winterkilling Is brought about in
different ways-by the heaving Of the
soil, by the smothefing of the plants
under ice, and through the killing of
the roots by the extreme cold.
The heaving Of the soil by alternate
freezing and thawing lifts the root
growth, and when the soil thaws, 1t
settles with 1t. The soil, on freez-
ing. takes a new hold on the roots
which are again raised. Thus the al
ternate freezing and thawing finally
draws the roots of the plant out of the
ground, sometimes several Inches,
breaking off the tap root, and In the
case Of young plants, the roots are fire.
uuently thrown out on the surface.
Winter rains or winter thaws may
rause the fields to become covered
with q sheet Of Ice, which, If 1t con-
tinues long, is almost sure to smother
alfalfa or clover, and even grasses and
fall grains are liable to injury in this
way.
The killing by extreme cold is most
likely to happen in a dry open win
ter, and new seedlings, especially late
seedlings in which the plants are shall
low rooted, and afford little cover, are
most likely to be affected.
Often old fields which have been
pastured are practically destroyed,
while fields which had considerable
fall growth left on the ground are not
damaged so much. In the ordinary
winter, the protection afforded by a
strong fall growth is usually sufficient
to prevent any winterkilling.
Winter Protection Favored.
II IS evident that when the condi-
tions are too severe, winter protection,
while it may help some, will not pre-
vent some winterkilling by which
good stand is thinned or destroyed.
precaution should always be taken,
however, to give such winter protec-
ton as may be afforded by the growth
of the alfalfa after the last cutting.
Too late cutting should be avoided as
we'll as too close pasturing. In fact,
il is doubtful whether alfalfa fields
should be cut or pastured after Sep
tember l.
A light dressing Of manure spread
on alfalfa late in .the,fall Is often very
useful in preventing soil heaving, es-
pecially in newly seeded fields. and
this practice is recommended when
ever it is possible. The dressing of
manure is particularly beneficial to
young alfalfa, not only furnishing win
ter protection, but also supplying
some food for the young plants the
next spring, and likewise forming
mulch which helps to conserve the
soil moisture.

himself.
One day the friend came In on his

plainly that the f0unt of information
