Alfalfa is a crop of inestimable value. It may be cut 3 to 4 times a season, each cutting bringing enormous yields (10 tons find more) of sweet nutritious forage much relished by all kinds of stock. It is an ex- cellent soiling crop and makes the best of hay when properly treated, being in itself the nearest approach of any farm product to a perfect ration. 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, should the ground be in good con- dition, 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 with a commercial culture such as '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.
