NELSON County Agriculturist The ground that is to be planted to alfalfa should now be gotten in good condition for this spring’s plant ing. By getting the ground in good shape at this time of year and work ing it occasionally the weeds and grass can be killed, so that the ground will be much cleaner at planting time. The practices followed so far have shown that about the best time to sow is during the month of May and as late as the first of June. Having the ground clean and free of weeds is more important than having plenty of moisture in the early spring. Alfalfa is a dry land plant and will grow with a limited amout of moisture. In selecting ground for the growing of alfalfa be sure that it is well drain ed as alfalfa will not grow in a wet soil. The ground selected should be an open soil with a well drained sub soil.
