Second Crop Usually Makes
Better Alfalfa Seed
By RALPH MERCER

through one year Of seed production
cannot stand the severe treatment
recommended in the cultivation OPP
erations.
We hope that this information IS
early enough so that it hasn't caused
any severe reduction in stand and
also to remind the growers having
fields that have. been in production,
that the cultivation requirement will
stand. The inspectors of the Montana
Seed Growers association have been
instructed to reject fields that have
not been cultivated.
Small Grain Roguing
IN past years MSGA inspectors
have had to reject from 40 to so per-
cent Of the small grain fields listed
for certification. While situations do
occur that cannot be prevented. most
of the rejection are the result Of
failure on the part of the grower
to use proper roguing methods on
his fields prior to the time the crop
is inspected
1t doesn't seem to make much diff
ference how clean the field is or
how clean the seed was, crop mix
lures creep in in one way or an
other and make it necessary for
these plants to be pulled out. Neither
is it possible to be sure that field
is clean by one roguing. Growers
who are most successful year after
year in producing fields that pass
field inspections start their roguing
operations as soon as the fields are
in full head and continue this rogu-
ing process until the field is har-
vested.
Many growers make it practice
to stop-up one spout in the drill
when the grain is planted. This
furnishes not only a place to walk
when the field is being rogued, but
sets the field off in areas that can
be rogued Systematically, thus pre-
venting skips.
While it is necessary for a field to
be clean of all mixtures and sun
flowers at the time of inspection, it
is equally important that the ma
chinery used in harvesting be
cleaned up to prevent contamina-
ton. Many fields have been passed
for inspection that later failed to
make laboratory grade because Of
mixtures In most cases, these mix
lures are traced to dirty machinery
used IN harvesting.
From the time the grain is planted
until it is cleaned for tagging and
sealing, the utmost care must be
taken.
Forage Exhibits
For years there has been dis
crepancy between the instructions
given in most fair books and the
actual procedure used by exhibitors
who show the highest quality ex-
hibits. This difference occurs in The
instructions given for the prepare,
ton of legume and grass exhibits.
Most of the fair books indicat,
that the samples should be tied il
three places, whereas the only way
to show these forage exhibits pro
perly is to tie them in one place
at the base of the grass or legum,
plants. Only in this way is one abb,
to retain the leaf surface which i

Ranger Alfalfa

The regulation put into effect by
the directors of the Montana Seed
Growers association last February
requiring all Ranger alfalfa fields
to be cultivated has raised question
which has given some concern. The
information as sent out should have
stated that cultivation was required
on all fields that had produced seed,
rather than all fields.
It should be quite obvious that

and early June concerning the dls-
position Of the alfalfa crop that
believe it would be worthwhile to
say something about it now, lust in
case the same thing happens an
other year.
Alfalfa that is merely nipped with
the frost ordinarily is not damaged
much and will come out of it in fair
" good shape, but where alfalfa has
really gone through freeze, it has
been the experience Of producers
over number of years that it lis
much better to dispose of the crop
as it is at that time and let the sue
ceeding crops take on normal
growth. Where the alfalfa has at !
tanned a fairly good growth of a
foot or higher, it does not seem to
recover and make sufficient growth
until the second crop starts to justify
leaving it standing.
First Crop Seed
Here, again, the information will
be a little late, but great many
growers have asked if they should
leave the first or second crop of
alfalfa for seed.
We can only go on past experience
and averages, but the experience of
most growers has been that where
there is a sufficient amount Of mois-
ture available to bring on strong
growth for the second crop, the
plant comes into blossom on the
second crop in more favorable pc
Rod for setting than it does on the
first crop.
Under dryland conditions. Of
course, where the amount of mois-
ture is fairly limited, there is usually
not enough moisture in the soil to
produce a satisfactory 81 on d
growth. For that reason, the dryland
producer is always urged to hold
his alfalfa back until the latter part
Of May, so that he has most of the
moisture available for the crop
| growth which should start around
the first of June.
Where alfalfa, is produced under
flood conditions, or where there is
an extra amount Of moisture avail
| able in addition to the annual rain
fall, the second crop will usually
make enough growth to justify con-
centrating on that crop for seed.
There are exceptions to all rules.
In three years during the last IS,
the first crop has produced the bet
ter seed crop. It happened that in
these three years the spring was
late, the alfalfa did not grew nor
mally, and the fall season closed in
on US early. It is anybody's guess,
of course, what the season may be
but as general rule, with moisture
available for the second growth. il
will usually produce a higher pound
age Of seed per acre.
