Nebraska g
Time To Sow Alfalfa
Tliis month or next is tio time for
tho spring seeding of afalfa, either in
tho eastern or western part of the state,
says the Nebraska Collcgo of Agrioul
tore. iThe advantage of planting now
i- that the plants may he given an
u.lrly start on account of tho spring
rains. However, care must, bo taken
to sui that the alfalfa does not liav6 to
contend with a largo crop of woedn, .or
it will boclioked. The safest waylo
prevent u growth'of weeds Is to clean
tho ground by previous cultivation If
the ticld that will be Ubed for alfalfa
was plowed in the fall, it should bu
disked as Mian as it can be worked and
kept disked and harrowed until seed
ing. This will not only destroy 'tho
weld's but conserve) tho moisture. Ad
ditional information coucuruiug ulCalfa
may bo had from bulletins No, lilO and
i:i'J from the bulletin department of
the Unlvorslty Farm, Lincoln.

tlio people of the county were either

In all probability the board of coun-l

Do Not Crovd Trees
Misinformation is given in certain
sections of Nebraska concerning the
proper distance between trees in an
orchard. It has been recommended by
curtain uninformed nurserymen that
trees be planted about llfteon feet
apart each way, whereas thoy bhouhl
be tliirty-ll'o to forty leet apart. If
nlantod too close, they cannot be culti
vated or sprayed to good advantage.
Tho liuib.4. grow upright and make
picking dilllcult. Pnrtliermore, shaded
portions of the tree' will not wet a nor
mal crop. Tlio horticultural depart
niont of the Nebraska Agricultural
College that the proper dlstauco fur
the different trees nru as follows:
Cherries and peaches', twenty feet;
pears, tiventy to twenty-live foot!
apples, thirty to 10 feet except Whit
ney orabtnd Utiteheas and other up
right growing varietlos, which. may be
planted but teuty-ilve feut apart.
