ALFALFA MAKING GOOD

So long US the stand is satisfac-
cory and the plants are making
good growth there is little to be
gained by cultivating alfalfa, says
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. A slight increase in
yield is sometimes obtained by
such treatment. but experiments
have shown that 1t IL not ordinarily
enough to pay the additional cost.
and the life Of the stand is pro-
longed but little. II any,
Under certain conditions, however
cultivation of this crop may. be
worth while. Where irrigation
waters leave a crust OF silt on the
fields the use of the harrow to
break it UP seems advisable. Also
where irrigated alfalfa is pastured
1t is sometimes good practice to
use a harrow to loosen up the soil
especially ii 1t is heavy-textured.
When weeds and grass threaten to
'hoke out the alfalfa the life OF
she stand may be profitably pro-
longed for a year or two by har-
rowing.
The best implement for this pur.
nose is the alfalfa harrow. which is
modification of the spring-tooth
harrow. The spike-tooth harrow may
be used on the lighter soils, but

form of irrigation. 1t is general

these returning waters has In
creased from YER to year, dre

rigation systems which include
larger irrigated area but mostly
to the general rise Of the water
table over greater areas. From
tests made by borings or wells
sunk to waterbearing strata dur
ing the early stages OF the devel-
opment OF irrigation. 1t has been
observed that the then-existing

noted that the general ground
water level has been raised each
year. and in some cases. this has
been from the depths of 100 feet or
more to within a few feet Of, or
even up to the surface.
Before the advent Of irrigation,
this gr0und-water surface had at

affecting this water-table would
be the natural absorption OF the
