1his question is often asked.
Why is it that my alfalfa does
not produce like it used to do'
The Kansas agricultural rolI"g"
experimental for twelve years with
alfalfa TO find the answer for this
question.
rhc answer was published in the
Kansas city star and was about as
follows:
s'hlfalfa rapidly dies out when
cnt too often for hay and weeds and
grasses soon take possession OF the
fed.
The reason for their dying out is
caused by the exhaustion OF the
roots.
When alfalfa is cut for hay the
rlant at once starts Il new growth.
This growth gets its food from tn"
roots,
When alfalfa is cut too often the
roots become exhausted and bacteria
diseases attack the roots ana soon
will XIII the plants.
Feeds On Air
Alfalfa gets most Of its foo"
ffom the air the same as Other
ylants. But the new growth aft"r
cutting is at the expense of the roots
which furnish the food or vitality

This food or vitality is not rcstor-
