Sow one quart of oats or barley and two-thirds of a pound of alfalfa on plats i, 2, 3, and 4. Do not let the grain ripen, but cut it for hay so that it will not injure the alfalfa. Keep the soil on plats 5 and 6 stirred so as to prevent the growth of weeds until the last of July, then sow the remaining pound of alfalfa alone. If a larger area can be used, the same experiment may be carried out on any sized field. The plats may be of any size. Problem; How many pounds of alfalfa seed would be required for one acre at the rate here sown? How many bushels of barley? How many bushels of lime ?
