The surest way of getting a new
stand of alfalfa VIII inoculated is to
scatter soil from a productive alfalfa
field or from the roots of sweet Glow
er or bur clover plants. From $50
to 500 pounds of soil per acre is the
usual application. In some cases a
mixture of equal quantities of inocu-
lated soil and seed has given good
results. This involves less labor and
