SIOKES FARMERS Si\tv-T~iw. Men Pledge their Support For Ha\ Crop Demonstration. UNDER AGENT HOLT Dir.vt ions In K'cuard !»» the Work—Prices en the Neces sary Periill/ers. li y i' Hot. l>.'li|. 11-1 ■•II \_- f :■ >r st>k>"" ■ • Already *>s farmers have pledged their support tor hay crop demonstrations in the coun ty, 4."> of whom expect to prepare alfalfa plots for this fall. >ur aim is to try and produce what hay we need at home The de- 1 n:and for larger and better hay crops for this section has made possible the adoption of this plan \ for encouraging farmers to pro duce more hav feeds on their farms. We have just as good soi!s for the production of all, kinds of hay crops as can be 1 found anywhere in the State, and therefore, it is absolute; folly for us to think about not, producing hay enough for our home needs. This year attention will be' given very largely to alfalfa for a hay crop. Alfalfa ranks rirst cf all hay crops and is the staple legumnious crop throughout the world. The wide distribution' indicates a remarkable adapt ability to various climates and con iitions. So far as climate is concerned alfalfa can be grown successfully in every State in the union. Alfalfa boing a legumnous plant is able through the radule forming bacteria within its roots to add nitrates to the soil and in this way in creases its fertility to that ex tent. Since large yields of al falfa draws on the soil very heavily for other elements of soil fertility, it usually requires the richest and best drained soil ; the farm a::ords, and if success ful will bring returns to justify the use of this land. There is risk, however, in selecting bot- j torn lands for alfalfa, both on ; account of their failure to drain promptly and owing to danger I from weeds on such soils. In I this section it would be best to I develop the fertility of some of the higher rolling land and seed this to alfalfa. In the west the so'ls are usually fertile enough to grow alfalfa without the use of. any fertiliser. In the east and south, however, they usually require some artificial treatment to brin;j; them up to the proper degree of soil fertility before alfalfa can be safely plant I. Following are directions for soil selection, preparation ami seeding as given forth.' Piedmont section of the State: 1. 1 will follow the instruc tions of the Demonstration Agent. 2. I will select land that is well drained, fairly fertile, and that has a red or chocolate clay subsoil. M. I will plow this land from eight to twelve inches deep several weeks before seeding time. 4. I will spread on each acre of my alfalfa land two or more tons of ground limestone, MOO to 50.) pounds of Thomas phos phate, or 16 per cent acid, and five or more tons of stable manure. 5. I will plow, harrow, and roll this land, applying the lime,' fertilizer, and manure, as I do! so, until the entire soil down to the clay is thoroughly pulverized i and compacted. t>. I will inoculate the land with soil from a field that has successfully grown alfalfa or use pure cultures, and will work same into the land so as not to subject the bacteria to the sun. 7. I will agree to use'Jo pounds of pure alfalfa seed per acre, if I can get them, and will sow the seed from the 1 •"> th of August to the loth of September, when 1 can have a good season in the ground. The soil should be well moistened to the full depth of plowing. I will try to borrow in the seed about one-half inch: ( S. 1 will try to have the land protected from surface washing so that there will be little or no run-otf water. !. 1 will try to have the field so smooth that there will not be some high places and others low. but entirely smooth. 10. If it seems necessary 1 j i 1 will give the alfalfa a top dress ing of nitrate of soda in March or April. 11. Then I will agree to watch the growth of '.he alfalfa and will clip it or mow it when I see the little shoots starting from the crowns. 12. From time to time after the alfalfa has been mown 1 will run the harrow over the land, or use an alfalfa cultivator, to aerate the soil and destroy weeds. If necessary. I will give the land an additional coat of manure, lime or fertilizer. By following these directions in detail it is possible to grow as profitable hay crops from al falfa in this section as in any j other section of the State.
