Cut Alfalfa When New Shoots
Start From Grown. /.

otart From Crown.
Just when to cut alfalfa and
how many times to harvest d
crop in one season are questions
which have received studied at
tention from experts in the u
nited States Department of Ag-
rlculture and the various expe-
riment stations in alfalfa-pro-
duclng states. Ordinarily it is a
good time to cut alfalfa for hay
when the new shoots have
started from the crown, and
from one-tenth to one-ffth of
the plant are in flower. But
these two conditions do not all
ways occur at the same time.
However, the farmer with a lit
tie experience, and keeping in
mind the flower and new shoots.
soon is able to tell when alfal-
ia crop should be cut. The far
mer's best Judgment will be call
ed into play, with preference
given to the welfare of the
plant rather than the size of
the crop.
Experiments on Government
plants seem to prove that cut
ting is not essential to the well
fare of the plant, but is only a
means Of getting hay. Plants
Of alfalfa that have not been
cut in six years are in better
physical condition today than
those that have been cut regu-
larly. Government agricultural
experts lean strongly toward
fewer crops of alfalfa a year.
holding that as large tonnage
can be secured, for example,
with three as with four cut
tings, and with less labor. En-
phasis is laid on the necessity
of leaving time enough after the
last harvest to permit the
plants to get a healthy growth
approximately a inches, before
frost.
