LATE ALFALFA CUTTING
FOUND TO BE BETTER

Delaying the cutting of alfalfa un-
til it is nearly in full bloom has been
found better practice than moving
it soon after blooming starts. Trials
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and state exper-
iment stations indicate that the
yields are larger over a period of
years, and that the life of the stand
is prolonged by delaying harvesting
until the plants are nearly in full
bloom.
Hay made when the plants are
nearly in full bloom possibly is not
quite so palatable, but this is Offset
by the gain in the quantity of hay.
The fields that were cut prior to or
at the beginning of blooming showed
tendency to die out sooner. Cut
ting a crop late in the fall so that not
enough growth was left for protec-
tion in the winter also had much to
do with thinning stands. The de-
partment recommends that alfalfa be
given time to reach a height of 6 to
inches before cold weather shuts
off the sap flow.
In the past the growing of alfalfa
in rows in dry regions has been rec
commended, but experimental evi
dence gathered by the department
in the last few years shows that,
with the exception Of few rare va
rieties the seed of which sells for a
high price, this method is seldom
practical. Where the rainfall is not
sufficient to grow alfalfa in broad
cast stands it cannot usually be
grown profitably in rows. A slightly
larger yield may be produced, but
not enough to- pay for the added ex-
pense. Also the hay harvested on
this cultivated ground is apt to be
dirty and it is hard to cut and load.
Accommodating experience also has
exploded some old notions about the
value of cultivation of broadcast al
falfa. 1t has ben found that harrow
ing a field of alfalfa ordinarily does
not increase the yield; neither does
it prolong the life of the stand to
any noticeable extent. The modified
spring-tooth harrow does not injure
the plants, but teh disc often kills
many and reduces the stand. Some
sort of cultivation appears advis-
able in irrigated regions where the
water carries great deal of silt or
where the soil has been compacted
by the tramping of cattle pastured on
the alfalfa. The department believes

LAUNDRY FAMILY WASHING

The citizens of Mt Sterling and
surrounding territory are beginning
to find out just what good laundry
and prompt service stands for with
the man or woman who dresses neat
ly. It matters not how good the
quality in dress unless It is kept
clean and in shape there is nothing
tidy about It and the man or woman
who dons it cannot dress up in such
clothing. 1t is just SO, so. The Mt.
Sterling Laundry cleans and shapes.
The prices are just right and the
wearer is always dressed up when he
gets his laundry from the Mt. Ster-
ling Laundry. Family washing is a
particular job and unless the laun-
dry is provided with special machin-
cry first-class work is only a prom
Use, for it cannot be done without It..
The Mt. Sterling Laundry has the
machinery and turns out work that
is satisfactory, satisfactory because
the process puts the washing in a
condition as nearly perfect as posi-.

there is usually little to be gained by
cultivating broadcast fields when the
stand is good. If weeds and grass
work in and reduce the stand it is
better to plow up the field and put in
another crop for year or two. 1t
is hard to thicken a thin stand by
cultivating it and sowing more seed;
in fact, it is a waste of time, the de-
partment believes.
