CULTURE OF ALFALFA CROP
If Hay Is Fed on Farm and Manure
Returned to Soil Little Fer
tility Is Lost.
An alfalfa field will yield on an
average 8,000 pounds of cured hay
per acre in one season. This cured
hay will contain about 6,880 pounds
of dry matter. The number of pounds
of each of the four most important
ash constituents removed from an
acre by a season’s crop of alfalfa hay.
as compared with clover hay, is as
follows: Potash—alfalfa 206 lbs.,
clover 66; phosphates—alfalfa 58 lbs.,
clover 28; lime —alfalfa 89 lbs., clover
76; magnesia—alfalfa 22 lbs., clover
17. .
Alfalfa draws» most heavily on the
lime and potash, resembling clover
in this respect, but because of its
heavier yield per season, a greater
quantity of these ash constituents is

removed. If the alfalfa is fed on the
farm and the manure well preserved
and returned to the land, but little
fertility is lost. If It happens that
the soils are poor in these constitu
ents, fertilizers of lime in the form of
land plaster and potash in the form
of wood ashes can be profitably
applied.
With the aid of nitrogen gathering
bacteria, alfalfa, like clover, can use
the free nitrogen of the air, still it
must not be inferred that a fair sup
ply of nitrogen in the soil is unneces
sary or that the application of nitro
genous fertilizers is always wasteful.
Professor Dyer of England has shown
by careful experiments that the “use
of moderate quantities of nitrate of
soda has been decidedly remunera
tive.” He found that in five years,
an annual dressing of 1 cwt. of ni
trate of soda per acre gave an in
crease of nearly three tons of green
alfalfa fodder per acre per year, while
an annual dressing of 2 cwt. per acre
gave an Increase of four and a half
tons of fodder per acre per year.
From this he calculated that there
was annual profit due to the nitrate
of a little more than four dollars per
acre in the first case and over six
dollars per acre in the second case.
SANDY SOIL FOR ASPARAGUS
Item of Fertilizer Is One of Gigantic
Importance—Plants Should Be
One Year Old.
(By FRANK L. DAVIS.)
Asparagus requires a deep, sandy
black loam soil, the deeper the bet
ter; subsoil of a porous nature and
well tile-drained.
The item of fertilizer is one of gi
gantic importance. Fertilizer in some
form must be procured in liberal quan
tities. Asparagus is not a dainty feed
er; it devours alike the fine ground
bone of commerce, and the dead cat
picked up in the back alley.
In starting a family asparagus bed,
plow the ground at least six inches
deep. The plants should be one year
old, set in rows three feet apart, and
18 inches apart in the row.
Dig the holes for the plants large
enough to receive the roots in their
natural position, and eight Inches
deep; firm the earth well over the
plants.
Two hundred will supply a good
sized family all they can use. Culti
vate and fertilize well for two years
before cutting, and you will have
plenty of good asparagus.
