Her/ Jersey Farmer Has Been growing Crop Since 1895 Wife Great Success. "Alfalfa Is tha greatest stuff In the [World," says John P. Nelson, of near MBantown, N. J., who has been grow ■kg altsFfa since IMS, and who now Sts MS scree of "tha finest In New ftsssr." It took Mr. Nelson six years •b get a good stand and to learn bow Bo grow tha crop, but since 1801 he has |U no failures with 1L He says: "Alfalfa falls only when you don't Eeat It right" "The advantages of alfalfa are that Wbsn you get a stand of It you dont have to reseed every year. How often I do not know, as I have some that ■as been mowed three times each year ■ *fr six years and It la getting better ; light along. It makes the best kind ; hay for all kinds of stock. Some of i |Ry horses eat it before they do their - ■fain." declares Mr. Nelson. "Cows | Will give more milk when fed on •ifxlfa hay than they will on fodder rn. it's a grand thing for brooa sows. When fed alfalfa they will keep ' In fine condition on half the grain they would use without It." ' • "The kind of soil on which to grow ' alfalfa. In my opinion. Is a loam of ' reasonable fertility, where water will ' not stand for any Jength of time. If '■ the ground Is low, tile draining should he done. Plow deep, use at least a ton 1 St lime per acre If the soil Is sour, get ! the best possible seed and Inoculate either the seed or ground or both," ■ says Mr. Nelson. "My farm has al- I1 ways, until a few years ago, had a cow to the acre, furnishing lots of manure. I This with 600 pounds of high grade s •artilizer, drilled in, supplies the food d for the growing plants. The same << amount is used each year as top dress- _ lug. If 'we 'didnt hare so much manure, more fertiliser per acre would ho needed." "The bAst stand of alfalfa I ever had "1 was on 12 acres that had been In corn ■ two years in succession. The ground was heavily manured both years after the corn was removed, and the usual ' application of 600 pounds of fertilizer applied. In the spring, as early as " possible, 1 drilled In one and one-half ' bushels Canada field peas, cut them green for cows, and In August seeded to alfalfa." explained Mr. Nelson. He believes that three cuttings are beet in New Jersey, but that four cuttings per year may be obtained through Mary- ' land and Virginia, at the saute time leaving a good stand over winter. "

STARTING CROPS ON THE JUMP Good Seed Ar.d Seedbed With Plenty Of Plantfood Needed. ' Starling alfalfa on the jump requires that the Seed bed be well prepared and that the plants he given plenty of plant food. Alfalfa requires a rather compact seed bed. Its preparation depends upon tbfe preceding crop to a great extent. When seeded after early crops, such As potatoes, the need of aummer fallowing is eliminated and the fanner gets a market crop during the same season. The 'general practice Is to plow the ground early, harrow each week or ten days, until the weedB are killed and the fine, firm bed j that Is required is obtained. Many j farmers have received good stands by seeding in the corn before the last ' cultivation. \ To secure quality seed, it is best to test several different samples for purity and vitality. Five to 25 pounds per acre are recommended by various experiment stations. Often the best results cannot be obtained without inoculation. Commercial cultures recommended for alfalfa Inoculation, can be secured. Lime must be added If the soil Is sour, and from 2M to SOO pounds of a fertiliser high in phosphoric acid should be applied previous to or when the seed Is sown. Profitable alfalfa culture Is not dim, cult, if careful attention Is given to ^-details, from the preparation of ths seed bod to the curing of the hay.
