PREPARE ALFALFA SEED-BED 
CAREFULLY 
Have plenty of moisture to develop the plants after they start, and do 
not plant too deep. 
Ground worked down until it is firm underneath and finely pulverized 
on top, seeded at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds to the acre, will give a 
better stand than a seeding of twice that amount on poorly prepared 
ground. 
These four rules will insure a stand under normal conditions:—(1) Work 
seed-bed until it is firm beneath. A tiny alfalfa root cannot bridge an 
air pocket. 
(2) Have surface soil finely pulverized. Germination will be poor unless 
particles pack tightly around seeds. 
(3) Seed shallow. Few seeds covered more than three-fourth of an inch 
will push through. Surface seeding followed by rolling is about the best 
method. 
(4) Be sure there is enough moisture for prompt germination and de- 
velopment of the plant.
