The great value of Alfalfa to the stockman cannot be overesti- mated. No other forage crop combines so many excellent feeding qualities. The fact that three or four heavy crops of it can be cut every season should alone be an incentive to every farmer to put down at least a few acres of it. Alfalfa can be grown successfully in every state in the Union; the soil, however, should be deep and well drained. It will not succeed on heavy, sticky clay ground, or where water stands a short distance below the surface. Before sow- ing the seed see that the ground is well prepared by being thoroughly pulverized. Any extra work put on the ground at this time will be well repaid in the crop. If sown in spring, wait until the ground is warm, sowing from 20 to 30 lbs. of seed to the acre.

We recommend using Northern grown seed. The U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture in its investigation finds that the farther north the seed is grown the hardier it is likely to be, and to meet these requirements we have secured a stock of strictly pure, recleaned Northern grown seed.
