berry cane-borer, which occasionally

canes in the fall or winter.
The greatest progress in the dairy
industry in this country lies not in
increasing the number of dairy cows
but in increasing the production per
COW, according to the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Why milk and
care for 20 common cows when you
can make more money by milking
and caring for 10 selected high-pro-
ducing cows?
Late pasturing of alfalfa is one Of
the practices often followed which
is one of the great contributing fac
tors to early destruction of what
would otherwise be good alfalfa
stand. The late pasturing not only
Injuries the crown Of the plant by
the tramping Of it at time when
the plant is not in condition to
readily mend injury to the crown,
but also removes the late top growth
which would otherwise be a pro-
lection to the crown during the win
ter and an added source of food
storage in the crown and root system
Both of these facts should be given
careful consideration by those having
good stands of alfalfa. 1t has been
shown that alfalfa going into winter
condition with four or eight inches
of growth on the plant is very mat
erial help to maintaining good stands
ard securing coed crop the coming
year.
Look your alfalfa field over care
fully, and be slow in doing any
pasturing after this date.
