We wish we could impress upon every one of our customers the great value of this crop, particularly as a crop to depend upon during our summer drouths. Its roots penetrate the subsoil to a con- siderable depth, and it will ordinarily easly furnish four or five cuttings a year. It grows during dry weather better than any crop we know of, and any farmer who has ever seen the difference in yield and appearance between a field of Alfalfa and a field of ordinary Clover or Grass during a period of drought would never be without this valuable drought-resisting * crop. Its beautiful green and growing appearance during droughts, when every- thing else appears dry and brown, is due to its deep-rooting propensities, and when sown on soils with a gravelly or light subsoil which its roots can penetrate, it will outyield any other grass or clover crop when it once gets well established. The chief difiiculty with this, as with other Clovers, is in get- ting a good stand, and it is absolutely necessary to give good, clean preparation, following out the plan we outline in "'Time of Seeding, Preparation, etc.," on page 13, ploughing the ground some time in advance of time of seeding, and harrowing at frequent intervals to kill any weeds which may be near the surface, and to give a good, firm seed-bed. Give a little extra care in the preparation of the soil for this crop, and you will have a continuous yielding crop lasting for years.
