The Seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of 15 to 25 pounds per acre, and seeding may take place from about the middle of April, or earlier, sliould the ground be in good con- ;. until late in August or September, without a nurse or cover crop. The soil must be deep, rich and well-drained, and the seed-bed well prepared. The in- oculation of the seed witli a commercial culture such as â¢â Standard Inoculating Bacteria' (see below), im- mediately before sowing will materially assist in the production of a crop. The seed should never be sown on heavy, sticky clay land where water stands a short distance below the surface. As a land enricher Alfalfa is unsurpassed. The long roots, 10 to 15 feet under ground, bring up lots of buried mineral fertilizer, while like all the Clover familv, it is a great nitrogen gatherer. No farmer should be without it.
