Fig. 37. Late Fall Cutting and Pasturing Cause Winterkilling and Blue Grass 



Troubles. 



Photo taken in May 1915. The left part of this field which is so badly 

 winterkilled and overrun with blus grass was cut ths previous fall (1914) on 

 October 12. The alfalfa on the right was not cut after August 30, in 1914 

 and came through the winter uninjured. In the northern states cutting or 

 pasturing after the first week in September is poor practice.
