EXPEKIMENTS WITH ALFALFA. 



In May, 1911, five varieties of alfalfa were seeded on land ploughed out of 

 stubble and freely cultivated until the latter part of tbe month. These plots were 

 only one one-hundred and twentieth of an acre in size, but since they were in one 

 block, the yield can fairly be taken as but slightly greater than would have been 

 secured from field areas. The same varieties were also sown in rows, forty-two inches 

 apart.
