Agents o f the department o f agricul
ture have spent much time in Siberia
searching for some north Asian spevdes
o f a lfalfa that cannot he winter killed
There has been much complaint o f the
winter killing o f a lfalfa, and it Is pro!)
able that there alw ays will he some
such complaint The agents o f the de
partment o f agriculture have not found
a plant that is proof against all man
uer o f temperature changes common to
northern regions
Now and then an alfalfa held will
he pretty well killed out by coid weath
er. and another held on tlu* same kind
o f soil and just across the road will
come through the winter m very good
condition.
When this happens, you
may set it dowu that the wiuter killed
- fl<*id bus been l>adll\ handled by the
grow er lu the summer (»Wore
H ere are some o f. the reasons for
the winter killing o f alfalfa. Fastur
ing it do\vii4o the ground before w in
ter sets in; cutting it too closely late
in the season and letting it go into the
winter while making a heavy growth.
The heavy, green growth caused liy
wurin fall weather and long continued
fall ruins Is a frequent cause of win
ter killing
There are some winters, too. when
the snowfall Is very light and the
weather is very severe, and when this
combination occurs alfairn is likely to
sutler greatly.
Like wheat, alfalfa
winters better where it cau shelter
under a snow blanket.
Many growers
stick to the practice o f mowing down
the last crop, letting It lie as It falls
Mud refusing to pasture the Held after
this cutting
A still better plan and one that Is
very popular Is to not cut late in the
full, but to leave a grow th o f from six
to eight inches high
This holds the
snow, helps In protecting the roots
and prevents the heaving and settling
o f the soil that comes from alternate
freezing and thawing.
This freezing
and heaving o f the soil are among the
reasons why alfalfa winter kills, as It
loosens the ns>ts and causes them to
die from exposure.
