A. S. Klrkeby. Maneglnf Director Mill UIIWn - Ci UTTU EGI Early Plowing of Land to Be Seeded, Firmness of Soil Essential. Karly plowing of land to be seed ed to alfalfa will enable the opera tor to cut down the cost of fitting thi ground and usually results in better stands. Karly plowing al lows the soil to settle ami become lirm before seeding. Soil that does not have an opportunity to become firm through settling must be packed or rolled by the operator it a good stand of ulfultu'fs secured. Alfalfa, clover, and other small seeded legumes will not start sue-' cessfnlly on ioo.se seed beds. Inoculation is also important, as alfalfa seeded on land without inoc-u'-uiou in soil or applied, to. the seed will not grow and produce protitable crops. The cost of artl Hcial inoculation is small, being itboiit 25c an acre, and is the cheapest insurance for profitable stands that can bo secured. Grimm Considered Best Hardy typeH of alfalfa seed are jneterred as they will stand more severe winter and freezing condi tions, than many strains or va rieties, of common alfalfa. Grimui allulta is recommended above other varieties. However, good results ou deep sandy river-bottom loam has been secured with hardy common altalta. The seed of the latter is generally lower in price, but upon the shallower and more poor I v drained soils, Grimm alfalfa 'should be used regardless of the cost of the seed. ... The rate of seeding should be 12 to lfi pounds per acre. Where great er riuanlities of sued are needed to w.'iire a stand, improper prepara- ilou of the1 soil generally Is at fault. Laud properly prepared will give a good stand at n seeding rate of 12J to la pounds per acre. Seed ing should be done In the average year between April 1st and April lath for the best results with at least one or two good rains follow ing the time of seeding; '; , tf Alfalfa will produce more feed and a higher quality of feed than any other forage crop and farmers should endeavor to have at. least -a fey, acres of lf;i)fa even though. IL Is necessary (o lime the soil to se cure stands. The appJicatitui of tup pounds of gypsum or land planter per acre has been found beneficial it) connection with new. seedings and should be applied each year to all old fields of alfalfa.
