ALFALFA OR LUCERNE CLOVER 
History —Alfalfa probably originated in South¬ 
western Asia, although wild forms from which 
it might have sprung are found in China and 
Siberia. The name Alfalfa is of Arabic origin, 
and is translated to mean “the best fodder.”

took it with them to provide forage for the 
horses and cattle of their armies when they 
invaded Greece about 490 B. C.

clover in the world. It is said that the feeding 
value of a ton of Alfalfa is equal to a ton of 
shelled corn.

crop, for economic dairy feeding and for build¬ 
ing up the soil makes it advisable that the farmer 
have a clear understanding about certain fac¬ 
tors necessary to a good stand. Read carefully

produced in the mountain valleys of Utah, more than 5,000 feet above sea level.
