CULTIVATES ALFALFA
PLANTED IN ROWS
Cheyenne County Man Extracts
Good Resuls on the High Table
Lands.
In ISH8 Mr. Lewis Hrott : Chey
enne county, Nebraska, conceived
the plan of growing alfnlr.i w "il on
nifrh table lands by cultivating the
latttl in rows. Sir. Mroft ha-- a
ruction of this table land with an
elevation of 4,300 feet and a depth
of water lo 300 fee'. The soil is a
clay lean of a. goou quality, with ;
i Jay subsoil underlying. Under such
conditions alfalfa seed broadcast doe
lOt always produce a full se.vl
crop.
The alfalfa plant should bloom in
dry weather and should ripen its
seed in late August or early Scji
I ember after the most extreme heat
in the summer has passed by. There
should be BUfflctUt moist lire in th
roll during the month of August to
devedop and perfect a full seed crop.
Vr. Rritl flrsl seeded in drills twen
ty inches apart At this distance part
of the rows did not prove satisfact
ory; there were more plants per
acre than the siort'd moisture could
support, and It was difficult to give
Keh culture as would keep down
I Li- ween growtn. .1t1r experiment
ing some years, seeding and cultivat
ing iii drills of different widths, Mr.
limit now uses the following method;
Flaw prairie lands may be broken
iii May or June, the sod being cure
fr'ly left smooth and flat that it
,.iay rot evenly, This rosy be dou-
tlle disked, then set hack. disked
again, and hnrrowee in the aiftumn,
II may then be seeded in may or
Jtne of the following year, or If the
land from anv combinations of caus
es be weedy, it should be cultivated
until about August 1 tor the doublt
purpose of desl l oving the w eeds and
conserving moisture This ground
"eded about August I will usually
be free from weed growth; the al-
s-fa plants win be well established
before winter, and will not winter
kill, and such lete weed growth as
may spring 110 will ! destroyed by
putumnal frosts. Lands that have
g-own field crops should he summer

purpose of destroying ;- and con

Mr. Itrott has 1101 found alfalfa

fable lands lie beUevm thai Tnrk-
res seed g better suited to fields
under Irrlgatlnn. He alms to drill

fl e soil should be in perl eel con
dition to assure the geri'ilnutiou of
a lull and even stand.
Having drilled the seed with a two-
I iw corn planter, the drills are just
right to be cultivated with a common
two-row riding plow. The shovels
should be run to a depth of three
inches and compel the alfalfa roots
10 keep below this three-inch soil
ruulch Cultivate five times during
th. season and also break the soil
i rusl after each rain to lessen loss
of moisture. PSarly in the season
Ubtll grow in us six inches in height h
harrow at ross the rows with aslant
Ing tooth drag 10 break the crust
in the row and to kill such weeds as
may Start in the drill. This harrow
ing should be repeated when the
crop has been cut and removed.
Cultivation should follow removal of
M-ed crop to conserve a 1 1 moisture.
One man and four horses can culti
vate eighteen to twenty acres daily,
r.adily cultivating 100 during the
s-ason.
When harvesting, Mr. Hrott uses a
tide, center-draft, four-horse mower
with dropper attachment, leaving ii
in windrows The crop should lie iu
! le sun half a day. then be properly
tacked. Two men with one team
tould gather from the windrow and
Stack four to five acres daily. If al
lowed 10 lie in swath and be rained
on the seed shatters badly in hand
ling.
The alfalfa seed field should ini
prove from year to year as the roots
strengthen; and t lie yield 01 seed
should increase with additional
strength of root and number of
st ilks. In California alfalfa fields
hue been cut for fifty years. As
the visitor looks down the half mile
rows of alfalfa with the heavily lad
en branches mingling across the cult
Ivated spa.es, he is prepared to be
lieve any estimate that may be
lven. A portion of this eighty
ficre fi, Id was seeded in 1009, and
IhS remainder three years ago. The
yield of seed is estimated at five to
nine bushels per acre A yield of
a in bushels for eighty acres would
in- a BOBBsrvttavs estimate.
Alfalfa seed of ordinary quality Is
II thtstlmoworth $10 to 113.00 a
tushel (The writer paid a higher
i 'ce this si ason for seed no) of the
beat Quality. J alfalfa seed grown on
nigh table lands, clean and free from
v I seeds, has a much higher val-
than the average seed on the
market. Mr. Brotl plans to increase
lbs production to a half Beetlon.
The present crop is readily worth
". to $loii per acre. Tin- growing
el alfalfa seed easil brings large
1 asli returns and steadily increases
