ALFALFA 



G. F. Warren 



LFALFA often fails because of four things, — 

 weeds, lack of lime in the soil, lack of inocu- 

 lation, and lack of fertility. On some farms 

 all four of these points need to be considered; 

 on some they may all be ignored and alfalfa still be 

 successful; on other farms, one or more of them must 

 be taken into account. In order to see whether alfalfa 

 will grow on the school-grounds and in order to see how 

 best to grow it, lay out the following plats, each a rod 

 square. Drive stakes. at each corner.
