TIMOTHY WILL AID ALFALFA
Yield of Hay Increased Twenty-Five
Per Cent in Wisconsin-keeps
Out Bluegrass.

Increasing the yield of hay by % per
cent was the result obtained when Is
pounds of alfalfa seed and 5 pounds
of timothy were used per acre instead
of alfalfa alone. Experiments con-
Quoted in Wisconsin gave these re-
suits. 1t was also found that the tim

ing out blue grass, especially in spots
where the alfalfa was winter-kilIed.
The time of harvesting of hay also
resulted in product of superior feed
