"I think it will be the salvation of the fai-ms in this community." 



''Mighty hard work to start, but pays for all expense you can put 

 on it." 



''It will solve the probloin of loosing the clover seeding, which frequent- 

 ly happens here. I believe in time it will be very commonly grown 

 and will raise the value of any land seeded." 



"I believe that it is all right, but it seems to take longer to get a 

 paying stand than clover and therefore, does not work in good in the 

 rotation." 



"I think if we can get to growing our own seed nothing can equal 

 it." 



"Invaluable! There should be thousands of acres in this country 

 where there is but one grown now. It will revolutionize agriculture." 



"I think it will be the most reliable grass crop that we can raise in 

 Southern Michigan." 



"A very profitable crop if the farmer will put out only what he can 

 take proper care of." 



"A promising crop if the farmer will take pains enough in fitting 

 his ground. I think it is one of the best hay crops Michigan farmers 

 can produce." 



"The surest and best hay known. Unexcelled for dairy calves and 

 eaten by all stock readily." 



"My intentions are to cut red clover out and make a success of 

 alfalfa." 



"I believe it will be a successful crop and the means of making our 

 light land valuable." 



"Very valuable to me to cut and feed green, as it furnished feed con- 

 tinuously from May 15 to October 15." 



"It will solve the problem of loosing clover seeding." 



"It would be a good crop if sown and taken care of on fields where 

 there is good drainage." 



"I wish I had fifty acres instead of six." 



"A very good pasture for hogs." 



"Good, cannot be beat for hay for all stock." 



"No better than mammoth clover, of which we can get two cuttings 

 by cutting as first blossoms appear." 



"A success on good soil but a failure on poor soil." 



"The best hay in the world. Believe it will be a successful crop and 

 the means of making our light land valuable." 



"I think it has come to stay. I have twenty-seven acres of alfalfa and 

 exi3ect to have one hundred before long." 



"We think it is the making of this part of the country. We expect to 

 get our usual amount of hay off one third the acreage and it is a better 

 grade of hay." 



"I think it is one of the greatest crops we can raise as it stands 

 drouth better than other crops." 



"For the dairy business of this section it is practically necessary as 

 a hay crop and for keeping down the cost of the dairy output." 



"It has not given very good satisfaction in this section." 



"It is worth each year the price of the land." 



"It is a great yielder of very nutritious hay, which all stock will go to 

 in preference to grain."
