ALFALFA ^^c^n^^.
Prices subject to market changes without notice.
The great value of Alfalfa to the stockman cannot be
overestimated. No other forage crop combines so many
excellent feeding qualities. The fact that three or four
heavy crops of it can be cut every season should alone be
an incentive to every farmer to put down at least a few
acrea of it. Alfalfa can be grown successfully in every
state in the Union; the soil, however, should be deep and
well drained. It will not succeed on heavy, sticky clay
ground, or where water stands a short distance below the
surface. Before sowing the seed see that the ground is well
prepared by being thoroughly pulverized. Any extra work
put on the ground at this time will be well repaid In the
crop. If sown in spring, wait until the ground is warm,
sowing from 20 to 30 lbs. of seed to the acre.
GRIMM'S CERTIFIED ALFALFA, per lb., 60c; 10 lbs.,
$5.50; 100 lbs., $50.00.
The crop should be cut for hay just as it is coming into
bloom. A safe guide is to watcii for the starting of the new
basil shoots, which form the growth for the next crop, be-
fore cutting. If the weather is fine the morning's cuttings
should be raked into windrows the same afternoon, and
cocked the following day.
We recommend using Northern grown seed. The U. S.
Department of Agriculture in its investigations finds that
the farther north the seed is grown the hardier it is likely
to be. and to meet these requirements we have secured a
stock of strictly pure, recleaned Northern grown seed.
