ALFALFA CLOVER. 
THE CLOVERS 
ALFALFA 
The Supreme Leader of All the Clovers 
No crop ever grown has had such a conspicuous place in increasing 
the profit from agriculture as alfalfa. The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture 
is authority for the statement that alfalfa at two years adds $100 to the 
value of every acre on which it grows. Its long fibrous roots working 
their way far down into the soil liberate, after the hay is cut, an im- 
‘mense volume of plant foods to be drawn on for years to come by 
future crops. It can be cut3to5timea year and produces from 3 to7 
tons of hay per acre. As a feed for cattle, Swine poultry or stock of any 
kind, owing to its large percentage of protein, it is unsurpassed. Alfalfa 
ean be grown successfully in any State in the Union, but on lands not 
inoculated we recommend the use of the different seed and soil inocu- 
lation listed on the sundry page of this book. Alfalfa requires a well 
prepared seed bed, well drained, well limed land, with plenty of humus 
‘Supplied by the generous use of well rotted manure. Sow from 15 to 25 
pounds per acre in April or May or July and August.
