It does best on ' n noil that Is Boniewhat sandy and I should never be sown 'on a soil where the water table Is liable to stand for any length of time within three feet from the surface. "Wet feet" will kill alfalfa quicker than anything else. As a general rule the best time to sow alfalfa Is early in the fall. The ground should be put iu the best pos sible tilth, and if manured before sow ing the seed the chances of success are considerably Increased. The seed should be sown at the rate of about fifteen pounds per acre. A light har rowing will cover it sumclently. If the young plants weather the first winter successfully, (he critical time Is past. The advantages of alfalfa over clover are its higher feeding value and greater yields. It can often be cut three or four times in a season, with a yield of from one to two tons per cutting. Alfalfa must always be cut as soon as about one-tenth of the plants are In bloom; otherwise the vltalltv is weakened and the yield of the succeeding crops reduced.

Clover seed are usually sown with small grain lu the spring. A surer way of obtaining a stand Is to sow after the oats have been disked in and cover with a harrow: otherwise the seed are put in so deeply that many of the little plants never reach the sur face. One of the principal reasons for fail ure with clover Is poor seed. A sam ple should always be tested before sowing. This can be easily done by putting a hundred seeds between a couple of moist blotters and keeping in j Fill. XI CITIINO A HEAVY GROWTH Or ALFALFA. later or tllyked up In the spring. They are often sown In cornfields during the last cultivation to keep the weeds down and to add nitrogen to the soil. P.ecnusc of the fact that other crops make so much better growth after the field has grown a legume for a year or so It Is important that a crop of clover or some other legume be grown occa sionally. If a plan of rotation is ar ranged so that the fields, are regularly changed from one crop to another, so much the better. It has been found that when any crop Is grown year aft er year on the same land the yields will grow less. The particular kinds of food that a certain crop requires grows scarcer, and weeds and insects become more numerous. If another kind of plant is substituted, other elements of plant food will be drawn upon, the in sects will be starved out and the chang ed methods of soli treatment will dis courage the weeds. Plants vary greatly in their ability to get food from the soil. Such crops as rye and buckwheat are strong feeders and are able to obtain food from a soil on which more tender plants would starve. Some plants use much more humus than others. Crops like corn that are cultivated frequently deplete the humus supply rapidly, since the constant stirring of the soli hastens de cay. Oats, on the other hand, take comparatively little humus from the soU. These differences may be largely equalized by a consistent system of ro tation. In planning rotations the aim should be to so distribute the crops that they will be best adapted to the condition In which the soil was left by the preceding crop. The starting point of every rotation should be clover or some other legume. The length of time that a field should be left in to such n crop depends largely on local condi tions. In the east, where alfalfa seed is high and the difficulties of obtaining a stand great, it is usually wise not to plow up the crop for three or four years. Red clover lives only two years; hence if not plowed up the second year the land must be reseeded. In most cases two years Is as long as the land should be left to any one crop. Since clover is grown with small grain the first year, this means only one year in which it will be the sole crop. If the second crop of clover Is to be plowed under, as Is the case when the soli Is considerably, jacking in" tunius,- this" w'orff" fiad5etter K done in the fall, so that the mass of green clover may have time to decay before the following crop Is planted. If the soil has been properly cared for. however, this green manuring will be unnecessary. As a general rule It is more profitable to feed the hay or grass to stock and return the manure to the land. In this way from 80 to 90 per cent as much plant food Is added as would have been if the crop had been plowed under, and at the same time the stock has had the bene fit of the extra feed. When only the stubble is to be turned under, the plowing may be done either In bite fall or eaxly aprlnsr. II. IHrscbbrf, Pree. A. NeUon, Vice Pres. C. W. Irvine, Ceeh.
