Currie's farm and garden annual : spring 1923 48th year curriesfarmgarde19curr_6 Year: 1923 ( CURRIE'S ALFALFA (Lucerne.) 3IEDICAGO SATIVA. STRICTLY CHOICE DOMESTIC. Alfalfa is a crop of inestimable value. It may be cut 3 to 4 times a season, each, cutting- bring-ingr enormous yields (10 tons and 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, with or with- out a nurse or cover crop. The soil must be deep, rich and well-drained, and the seed-bed well prepared. The inoculation of the seed with a commercial culture such as 'Nltrasin' (see below), immediately before sowing will materially assist in the production of a crop and will increase the yield. 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 family, it is a great nitrogen gatherer. No farmer should be without it. Genuine Montana Grown Seed—Recleaned. Because of the particularly rigorous climatic conditions of Montana, strains of Alfalfa produced in that state are considered better able to withstand the severe winters and trying conditions of other northern states.
