198 ALFALFA FARMING IN AMERICA. 



The drill is set to sow two bushels of beardless 

 spring barley to the acre. This barley does not stool 

 heavily. It is not a very prolific barley either, but it 

 makes a good nurse crop for alfalfa. The facts that 

 it does not often lodge and does not much shade the 

 young alfalfa are all in its favor.
