Kentucky Blue Grass. Orchard Grass. Alfalfa— Has become the leading hay and pasture grass for this section, producing more hay and pasture per acre than any other grass known. It suc- ceeds best on bottom or second bottom land where the tap roots can penetrate and reach water. It does well if planted with grain crop the whole being cat for hay in the spring and can be cut again the first year; the second year it will attain a growth from which may be cut three crops of one and one-half to two tons each per acre. If not pastured too closely or water allowed to stand on it, Alfalfa will continue to grow many years; some fields seeded twenty years ago being as good as ever. It will produce a greater yield by irrigating, but will -t and a severe drought, having a long tap-root which draws moisture from be- low the surface. For hay it should be cut when in bloom and put in the stack before it becomes dry enough to break in handling. Under favorable circum- stances it will produce five to six tons per acre per year. For dairy purposes and fattening beef it is unexcelled. It is sometimes sown in the fall, but in this latitude about April first or after danger of frost. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Lb.
