Baling Alfalfa 



Fertile Soil 



A bulletin of the U. S. Department of Agriculture states: "As an illustration 

 of its extraordinary productivity and durability, it may be cited that most of this 

 land will produce today a bale or more cotton to the acre, after 50 to 75 years of 

 continuous cultivation to cotton and corn without any fertilizer." 



Alfalfa Land 



This same bulletin further states: "The wonderful adaptability of the soils of 

 the Black Belt to alfalfa is bringing about an agricultural readjustment of alfalfa; 

 is naturally deep, fertile and of good texture; is unusually well drained naturally 

 and contains the proper amount of lime." 



Elevation 



This section is most healthful, having an elevation of 300 to 500 feet above 

 sea level, with excellent drainage conditions. The temperature is uniform and 

 pleasant. Rainfall is abundant and well distributed throughout the year.
