Most farmers who have seeded alfalfa during the early part of August in the past have experienced a greater success of establishing alfalfa and have found that by proper fertilizing this crop, it would not be neces sary to re-establish as soon as is necessary with the spring seed ing. Farmers who were not able to seed alfalfa in the spring will have an excellent chance to pre pare their soil, lime and fertilize, according to soil test recommen dation, and seed their alfalfa be tween the 1st and 5th of August. A shallow, firm seed bed gives best results on alfalfa seeded. This means that land wiich was plowed during the spring and seeded to small grain may be pre pared for alfalfa seeding by a J J' 1I . . il .a11 a by smoothing the soil and allow ing this seed bed to settle and then loosening the surface by shallow operation . of a . drag or section harrow.
