From 25 to 35 pounds o f inoculated seed are needed per acre. After the crop is established, fertilizer is needed to maintain it. Research and farmer experi¬ ence shows that you should ap- j | ply one ton of limestone each two years and 1,000 pounds c f ! 0-10-20 and 20 pounds of borax each year. Alfalfa should be worked each year in the spring after the first cutting with an alfalfa harrow. Insects such as Caterpillars and Alfalfa hoppers I damage this crop, but they can be controlled. For Caterpillars use 20 pounds cf 20'/ toxaphene per acre and for the hoppers use a spray containing 2 to 3 quarts of 25'-' DDT liquid con- cencentrate in 6 or more gallons cf water per acre. Alfalfa should not be grazed o r cut fcr hay within 30 days after treatment. As for grazing, it is recom- for hay is when plants are from one-fourth to one-half in bloom and when shoots begin to ap¬ pear at the base cf the plants. As for grazing,, it is recom¬ mended that jilfalfa be allowed to g r o w about to maturity. Then, enough animals should be turned in to graze it down in two to three weeks. The field should then be clipped and al¬ lowed to reach the same state of m a t u r i ty before grazing again. September or eaily October Is the time to plant Alfalfa. L. C. ADAMS J. B.
