PROFITABLE CROP
Adds Fertility to the Soil-Yield#

EXCELS EVERY OTHER CROP
The introduction of Alfalfa •• i Qui.
i oral Farm Crop in the United Stataa
i Will Revolutionise Agriculture—
Meana More Live Stock, Better
801 l and Larger Returns From
the Crops That Follow.
By PROF. P. Q. HOLDEN, Director
Agricultural Extenelon Department
International Harveeter Co. of New
Jersey.
Alfalfa Should be Grown
on Every Farm
1. It is a profitable crop.
2. Increases farm valves.
3. Excels every other crop
In yield per acre
In feeding value
As a drouth resister
As a soil enricher.
4 No harder to grow than dover.
5. Make a beginning—start now
grow some alfalfa.
Repeated experiments made by the
agricultural colleges, and the results
obtained by the actual growers of al
falfa In the semi-arid sections of tha
west, throughout the corn belt states,
and in the south and east, are conclu
sive evidence of the great value of
alfalfa.
There are few fanners whose profits
would not be increased greatly by rais
ing alfalfa. Every farmer should aim
to produce, as far as possible, bis
foodstuffs upon his own farm.
During the last few years, the area
devoted to alfalfa has greatly In
creased In the region west of the Mis
souri river, and It la certain that
there will be an equally rapid in
crease throughout the eastern and,
southern parts of the United States.
Many of the attempts In the past
alfalfa in the humid regions
have failed, but with our present
knowledge of the jequlrementa of the
crop there will be little, if any, not*
trouble In securing a s^and.
Alfalfa will soon be grown abun
dantly and profitably upon every farm.
It Is no more difficult to grow than
clover and gives double the yield. The
deep rooting habit of alfalfa enables
It to resist drouth when clover, tim
othy, blue grass and other forage
grasses die for want of moisture. Al
falfa roots grow deep into the soil
far beyond the roots of other plants.
Its drouth resisting power Is of no
greater Importance than its great
value as a soil enrlcher. The long
roots bring phosphorus, potash and
other plant foods from below and
store them In the upper soil for the
use of other plants. Experiments show
greatly Increased yields.of other crops
grown upon alfalfa sod.
Alfalfa Is rich in protein tha most;
essential element In feed to make
bone, blood and muscle In growing ani
mals.
Why We Need Alfalfa. ,
There Is no combination of feeds
so economical for the production of
beef, pork, mutton, butter and eggs,
as corn and alfalfa. Neither will give
the best results alone. We need alfal
fa because It balances up the corn
ration and saves the large waste of
starch which always take* place
where corn Is fed alone. We need
alfalfa because we can by means of It
grow on opr own farms the protein'
more profitably than we can buy It In;
feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because
It feeds the soli and enables us to
grow larger crops of corn and oats.
We need alfalfa because It produce*
on an average double the feed vain*
per acre of clover or any other forage
crop.
Advisable to Inoculate.
In. regions where alfalfa has not
beerii grown It Is found to be necss
sary to Inoculate the ground by sow
ing three or four bags of soil secured
from a field where alfalfa or sweet
clover has been grown for a
number of years; or where It
is more convenient, artificial cul
ture, such as "nltragln," "farmo
germ,- etc., may be applied. Where
alfalfa has not been grown before It
may make tbe difference between suc
cess and failure.
Alfalfa Essentials.
A well prepared, firm, solid seed
bed, plenty of good barnyard manure,
and fallow.to kill ttte weeds, are meet
important. LimeT Tee, one to two
loads per acre, and by all means In
oculate. Oround too wet lor corn Ia
not suited for alfajfa.
Make a Beginning—*Urt New.
• Every farmer should try at least
a small piece of alfalfa and If he
doee not succeed at first, try
again and keep on trying until be dose
succeed. It Is worth tbe while. If
the work la thoroughly done and at
the proper time, yon win most cer
tainly succeed In securing a good
stand; if tbe work Is half done and
out of season, you will Just aa oer
talnly fall. Make a beginning—start
now.

The Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy
railroad will ran an alfalfa comblna-
Uon railway and automobile train for
a two weeks' campaign, making about
•0 stops In southern lowa and north
ern Missouri, beginning July 28, 1913.
from Des Molnee.
The plan, as worked out by the Bur
lington In co-operation with the Agri
cultural Extension Department of the
International Harvester Company of
New Jersey and (he agricultural col
leges, Is far In advance of any agri
cultural extension work ever carried
on.
Will Stop at Sixty Polnta.
Local committees at each of the 60
polnta on the railroad will arrange for
five to ten automobiles to carry the
speakers In all directions into the coun
try to farm homes, school houses and
Inland towns within a radius of from
four to ten miles, where alfalfa lec
tures will be given.
During the campaign over 600 al
falfa lectures will bo delivered by
the party to aa many audiences, and
from 600 to 700 automobiles will be
brought Into the aerrloe of this great
educational movement
These campaigns are conducted on
a strictly cooperative basis.
The people will provide:
Ist. A guarantee of at least live to
ten automobiles at each railroad stop
to carry the speakers to the points
In the country wfeere meetings are to
be held.
2nd. Halle suitable for the central
meeting In towns where train stops.
3rd. Any community desiring a
campaign must send in a request to
the railroad, agricultural college co
operating, or to the Agricultural Ex
tension Department, signed by a rep
resentative number of farmers and
business men.
The railroad will provide:
Sleeping cars and dining service for
the alfalfa campaign party, and bag
gage and exhibit cars, literature, etc.
The Agricultural Extension Dept
will provide:
IsL Speakers.
2nd. Assistance in organising and
advertising campaign.
3rd. Educational charts and other
equipment for lecture purposes, bulle
tins, literature, etc.
4th. Follow-up men, when possible,
to assist the farmers In getUng a start
with alfalfa.
Hearty cooperation on the part of
the people is absolutely necessary to
make these campaigns successful.
SAVE THE ALFALFA LEAVES.
Blxty Per Cent of the Feeding Value
of Alfalfa In the Leavee—Hay
Should be Cut at Right Time
and Cured so as to Preserve
the Leaves.
Of the entire alfalfa plant, accord
ing to Kansas bulletin ISS, the (talk
comprise* (0 per cent, and the leaf
40 per cent, whereas the quantity of
the protein In the (talk U only 40 per
cent., while the protein In the leaf la
•0 per cent Moreover only 20 per
cent, of the fat la to be found In the
■talk, while 80 per cent la In the leaf.
It la, therefore, very Important that
alfalfa be harvested at the proper
time, and carefully bandied so that
all the leave* will be tared.
When poialble to do ao It la beet to
cut alfalfa late In the afternoon or
evening. Dew or rain on the freably
cut alfalfa will not injur* It Where a
tedder la used, It ahould be started In
the mornlnc aa soon aa most of the

Alfalfa Automobile Trains Important Feature of the Work—Schedules to Be
Arranged and Meetlnge to Be Held at Farm Homes —Prominent Speakers
to Accompany Each Alfalfa Train—Alfalfa Organisations Will Be Formed
In Each Community to Promote the Work —Field Men Experienced In
Alfalfa Crowing Will Follow Up Preliminary Work Wherever Poselble
and Qlve Aid In Getting a Start—Prof. P. Q. Holden, Director Extenelon
Department, international Harveeter Company, Chicago, Will Direct the
Work.
The campaign wUI be conducted In co-operation with farmers' Institutes,
bankers, builnese men, farmers, commercial clubs, grangss, live stock and
dairy associstlons snd other organisations In any community where the peo
ple are anxious to Improve their agricultural conditions and are willing to
give time and money to carry on the work.
County and city superintendents of schools, colleges, Institute workers,
Chautauqua lectilrera, snd others interested in the work will be ssslsted in
obtslnlng alfalfa charts and lantern alldes. Alfalfa literature and booklets
will be given wide distribution throughout the country. Bpeclal alfalfa artl
dee will be sent to farm journals and magailnes, and plate and matrix pages
to newspapers. Alfalfa editions of newspspers will be published where cam
palgns are conducted. Datee wUI bo arranged for "Alfalfa Day" In the
schools.
To Begin Csmpalgn Work In East, West snd South.
Work to be stsrted Immediately in the cotton belt states and In tha
east and west. Thirty to forty meetings will be held in each county, the num
ber depending on local conditions.
To accomplish the most in sgrlcultural development, we must begin
with the man behind the crop. Upon him depends the flnsl working out of
the principles of agriculture—the simple and practical things—which our
schools, colleges and experiment stations are endeavoring .to bring into gen
eral use.
Professor Molden proposes to carry these principles further even than
the very effeotive work done on "the agricultural trains, by using that most
modern vehicle—the -automobile—going directly to the people on their own
farms where the meeUngs are to be held.
Alfalfa Qreateet Soll-Enrlching Crop.
Agricultural development needs in addition to the work of our publlo
Institutions, the individual efforts of every merchant, banker, corporation, or
laboring man, and this plsn calls for their heartiest cooperation.
This plan for increasing the yields of our crops by ths more extensive
growing of that wonderful soil improver, ALFALFA, Is meeting the approval
of all men who have any knowledge of the beneficial results of Its Introduc
tion aa a general crop.
Campaigns are now being conducted in many of the central western
states, and Professor Holden Is dally answering requests for bis aaalstance in
organising other localities, and invites cordial co-operation with every com
munity Interested.
Where csmpalgns are contemplated it is required, first, that a request bo
made to the Agricultural Extension Depsrtment for aaalstance In carrying on
the campaign.
What the local people will provide:
(1) Expensea (meals snd lodging) for the alfalfa speakers and staff
upon their srrivsl and during the campaign.
(2) From ten to twenty automobiles for each day of the campaign to
carry the alfalfa crew and Invited gueats; one auto truck to carry literature,
baggage, charts, and other equipment.
(3) Arrange for meeting places and publish scbedulo of MIUL
(4) Local advertlslng.\
(6) Photographer, if possible
The Agricultural Extension Department will provide:

According to the 1110 census of ths
hay crop, ths state of Wisconsin grew
IS,OOO acres of alfalfa, which averaged
1.1 tons per acre for the entire state,
and tha average aero value of the
crop waa $31.00. During tho sama
year the combined acreage of timothy
and clover averaged l.t tons per acre,
valued at 114.00. It ooeta no more to
grow an acre of alfalfa than it does
to grow an acre of timothy or clover.
The average coet of growing an acre
of clover or tlinotby is approximately
310.00. Thus the farmer would clear
34.00 per acre In growing these crops,
whereaa If he grew alfalfa bo would
make a profit of $21.00 per acre, or

CAMPAIGNING '
FOR ALFALFA
Object of the Work and Results
Obtained—Some of the
Prominent Features.
GOING TO THE FARM HOMES
Thlrtsen Campaigns Have Been Car
ried on In Michigan, Ohio and Illi
nois—Holden'* Plan Meete Warm
Reception With the Farmers.
| ■■
Prof. P. 0. Holden, director of the
Agricultural Extension Department of
the International Harvester Company
of New Jersey, has planned and put
Jnto operation a new method of ex
tending agricultural knowledge.
Holden waa the originator of agri
cultural demonstration trains; of ag
ricultural short courses, and many
other effective plans, through the
agency of which millions of dollars
have been added to the agricultural
wealth of this country.
The latest plan of Holden is to
place alfalfa upon every farm. There
are three prominent features in his
plan: .
(1) The introduction of a compara
tively new crop into the Corn
Belt, Southern and Eastern
states.
(t) Oolng direct to the homes of the
farmers, where meetings are
held in the fields, and success
and failure discussed according
to local conditions.
(I) The use of that most modern ▼»
hide—the automobile.
Purpose of Campaign.
The primary purpose of the cam
paign Is to show the American farmei
that alfalfa la the most profitable crop
he can grow; that it can be grown
profitably upon every farm; that It en
riches the soil; Increases farm values;
stimulates live stock growing and dai
rying; produces double that of othel
bay crops, and Is better feed.
Thirteen campaigna have thus fat
been successfully conducted In Mich
igan, Ohio and Illinois.
Boms of the Result*.
Results of the Kent county (Mich.)
campaign are:
(1) Six thousand farmers visited al
their homes during a five-day
campaign.
(!) Thirty-two meetlnga held.
(8) Three hundred and aeventy-flv*
miles traveled by the Alfalfa Au
tomobile Train.
(4) One hundred and thirty-six alfalfa
talks made by the Holden atafi
of alfalfa lecturers.
(B) Many appllcatlona for similar cam
paigns from all parts of th«
United States.
The Kent county campaign has been
followed by campaigns In Allegan,
Barry. Grand Traverae and St. Clali
counties, Michigan; Van Wert, Marion
Pulton, Williams and Champaign coun
ties, Ohio; snd Sangamon, DuPage
and Kane counties, Illinois.
Orsst Masting In Ohio.
At one meeting In Ohio upon th«
farm of Joseph E. Wing, near Mechan
lea burg, nearly 4,000 people gathered
from all parts of Ohio and adjolnlni
states to learn more about alfalfa. Al
this great meeting the Ohio State Al
falfa Growers' aaaoclatlon waa organ
ized. Over 300 automollea made up
the alfalfa train. It la recorded a*
the greatest agricultural asscmblsgt
In the history of Ohio. Other Ohio
counties where the work has been
taken up report success on every
hand.
Sangamon and Kane counties, 111*
nols, have both conducted great cam
paigns. At one meeting In Wllllama
vllle, 111., over 1.200' farmers came to
hear the alfalfa lecturcra.
In all of these campaigna which
were conducted within a period of
about two months nearly 60,000 farm
ers have been reached with the gos
pel of alfalfa.
A* a result also of the campaign
work It la conservatively estimated
that 200,000 acres of alfalfa will be
seeded during this and the coming
season.
Such Is the result of the Initial work
