Alfalfa, sorghum, soy beans, and other forage plants, J. F. Duggar and 

 J. M. RicHEsoN {Alabama Canebrake Sta. Bui. 20, pp. 20). — Alfalfa sown broadcast 

 March 20 yielded, from 3 cuttings made June 16, July 15, and September 3, a total 

 of 4,634 lbs. of hay, being at the rate of 8,424 lbs. per acre. The land was upland 

 prairie <jf a fair degree of fertility, and the results are considered very good for the 

 first season of spring-sown alfalfa. The soil on whicth the crop was grown seemed to 

 have been inoculated from adjacent fields on which alfalfa and melilotus had been 

 produced. The culture and value of alfalfa in the canebrake region are noted.
