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 cut 8 to 5 time a year and produces from 8 to 7 

 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 

 can be grown successfully in a.x\y State in the Union, but on lands not 

 inoculated I recommend the use of ''Farmogerm" listed on the sundry 

 page of this book. Alfalfa requires a well prepared seed bed, M^eil 

 drained, well limed land, with plenty of humus supplied by the gener- 

 ous use of well rotted manure. Sow from 15 to 25 pounds per acre in 

 April or May or July and August.
