CHt Alfalfa When New Shoots

how many times to harvest Il

which have received studied at

pertinent stations in alfalfa-Dro-
ducing States. Ordinarily it is
a good time to cut alfalfa for hay
when the new shoots have start.
ed from the crown, and from
one-tenth to one.ffth of the
plants are in flower. But these
two conditions do not always
occur at the same time. How
ever, the farmer with little ex-
perience, and keeping in mind
the flower and new shoots, soon
is able to tell when his alfalfa
crop should be cut. The far
mer's best Judgment will be
called into play, with preference
given 10 the welfare of the plant
rather than the size of the crop.
Experiments on GOvernement
platS seem to prove that cutting
is not essential to the welfare of
the plant, but is only a means of
getting hay. Pla,s of alfalfa
that have not been cut i'm six
years are in better physical
condition to-day than those that
have been cut regularly. Gov,
ernment 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 cuttings. and with
less labor. Emphasis is laid on
the necessity Of leaving time
enough after the last harvest to
permit the plants to get a
healthy growth, approximately +
