falfa The discussion relates to the
eastern as well as to the western
section
It has been the purpose in writing
this bulletin to put the material in
such a form that the farmer can read
ily find a discussion of the phase in
which he is particularly interested
The first division treats of the kind
of soil best adapted to the growth of
the plant with suggestions for treat
ing soil which does not give satisfac
tory results This is followed by n
discussion of the seed bed This meth
od of its preparation and the im
portance of manure receive a promi
nent place
The farmers are advised to purch
ase their seed from the north or frori
the dry lands of the northwest rath
er than from the south It is also
recommended that no seed be used
which has not been tested for purity
and for germination by the govern
ment seed laboratory located at Lin
coln This test will be made free
A discussion of the amount of seed
per acre and of the various methods
of seeding will help the man who is
in doubt in reference to this point
Broadcasting is compared with drill
ing both with a disk drill and press
drill Warnings are given to farmers
who use either method and sugges
tions for greater success
There is a comparison made of
spring seeding early summer seed
ing late summer seeding and fall
seeding from which conclusions are
drawn The late summer ceding ii
i recommended for sections of the statJ
where there is plenty of moisture to
give the plants a good start at that
season of the year
