ALFALFA MOST
PROFITABLE CROP
Adds Fertility to the Soil—Yields
Three to Four Crops of Hay
Each Year in the Corn Belt.
EXCELS EVERY OTHER CROP
The Introduction of Alfalfa as a Gen
eral Farm Crop in the United States
Will Revolutionize Agriculture—
Means More Live Stock, Better
Soil and Larger Returns From
the Crops That Follow.
By PROF. P. Q. HOLDEN, Director
Agricultural Extension Department
International Harvester Co. of New
Jersey.
Alfalfa Should be Grown
on Every Farm
1. It is a profitable crop.
2. Increases farm values.
3. Excels every other crop
In yield per acre
In feeding value
As a drouth resister
As a soil enricher.
4. No harder to grow than clover.
5. Make a beginning—start now
grow some alfalfa.
Repeated experiments made by the
agricultural colleges, and the results
obtained by the actual growers of al
falfa in the semi-arid sections of the
west, throughout the corn belt states,
and in the south and east, are conclu
sive evidence of the great value of
alfalfa.
There are few farmers whose profits
would not be increased greatly by rais
ing alfalfa. Every farmer should aim
to produce, as far as possible, his
foodstuffs upon his own farm.
During the last few years, the area
devoted to alfalfa has greatly in
creased in the region west of the Mis
souri river, and it is certain that
there will be an equally rapid in
crease throughout the eastern and
southern parts of the United States.
Many of the attempts in the past
to grow alfalfa in the humid regions
have failed, but with our present
knowledge of the requirements of the
crop there will be little, if any, more
trouble in securing a stand.
Alfalfa will soon be grown abun
dantly and profitably upon every farm.
It is no more difficult to grow than
clover and gives double the yield. The
deep rooting habit of alfalfa enables
it to resist drouth when clover, tim
othy, blue grass and other forage
grasses die for want of moisture. Al
falfa roots grow deep into the soil —
far beyond the roots of other plants.
Its drouth resisting power is of no
greater importance than its great
value as a soil enricher. The long
roots bring phosphorus, potash and
other plant foods from below and
store them in the upper soil for the
use of other plants. Experiments show
greatly increased yields of other crops
grown upon alfalfa sod.
Alfalfa is rich In protein the most
essential element in feed to make
bone, blood and muscle in growing ani
mals.
Why We Need Alfalfa.
There is no combination of feeds
so economical for the production of
beef, pork,-mutton, butter and eggs,
as corn and alfalfa. Neither will give
the best results alone. We need alfal
fa because it balances up the corn
ration and saves the large waste of
starch which always takes place
where corn is fed alone. We need
alfalfa because we can by means of it
grow on our own farms the protein
more profitably than we can buy it in
feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because
it feeds the soil and enables us to
grow larger crops of corn and oats.
We need alfalfa because it produces
on an average double the feed value
per acre of clover or any other forage
crop.
Advisable to Inoculate.
In regions where alfalfa has not
been grown it is found to be neces
sary to inoculate the ground by sow
ing three or four bags of soil secured
from a field where alfalfa or sweet
clover has been grown for a
number of years; or where it
is more convenient, artificial cul
ture, such as “nitragin," “farmo
germ,” etc., may be applied. Where
alfalfa has not been grown before it
may make the difference between suc
cess and failure.
Alfalfa Essential!.
A well prepared, firm, solid seed
bed, plenty of good barnyard manure,
and fallow to kill the weeds, are most
important. Lime? Yes. one to two
loads per acre, ana Dy all means in
oculate. Ground too wet for corn is
not suited for alfalfa.
Make a Beginning—Start Now.
Every farmer should try at least
a small piece of alfalfa and if he
does not succeed at first, try
again and keep on trying until he does
succeed. It is worth the while. If
the work is thoroughly done and at
the proper time, you will most cer
tainly succeed in securing a good
stand; if the work is half done and
out of season, you will just as cer
tainly fail. Make a beginning—start
now
HAY CAPS FOR ALFALFA.
3®^*’*’^***^
Alfalfa should be raked and either
put in the barn or if it is not sufficient
ly dry, put into hay cocks. It Is a mat
ter of economy to have two or three
hundred hay caps (made of six-cent
cloth one yard square) to use in case
of bad weather. You may think this
is considerable bother, but poor al
falfa is poor stuff, and when we re
member that good alfalfa brings us in
actual results nearly as great returns
as wheat bran, we can better realize
the importance of taking care of it.
If any of us had 500 "hay cocks of
bran” in the field, we would take care
of them, but with alfalfa we think of
it as “just hay.”
These cloths may have wooden pegs
or some sort of weights attached to
each corner to hold them in place; the
pegs can be pushed into the hay to
hold the corners fast. Hay caps will
soon pay for themselves in finer
quality of hay guaranteed by their
use.

sworn duty in ridding the business and
financial districts of 'he bad characters
that for years have made typewriters a
menance to your eyesight. 1 have m»rci

PRINTYPE IS OWNED AND CONTROLL
ED EXCRUSIvELY BY THE OLIVER
TYPEWRITER COMPAEY
America rings with praise and ap
plause for Printype. This superb
new typewriter type has attracted
more attention than any typewriter
innovation brought out recent years
Hundreds of thousands of people
have seen this new type and wond
ered what it was that made prin
type correspondence seem like a
spoken message. There’s virility,
strength and charm in printype cor
respondence. There’s refinement
and “class’’ and style. Not pecause
of its novelty —it’s inherent in type.
A Vast Improvement
Printype is designed in shaded let
ters and numeral, like the type in
whice books and magazines are
printed. It is book type transformed
and adopted to modern typewriter
requirements.

This radical departure from the old
style “outline’’ letters makes it pos
sible to product, on the Oliver type
writer, a page of manuscript as clear
and attractive as that of the finest
book. The Oliver is the first ard
only typewriter that successfully
prints print.
The Primary Reason
Printype resulted from our discovery
that “outline” type, with its same
ness, due to absence ot shading,
wus harmful to the eyes.
The Silent Test
For months, without any advertis
ing, we put hundreds of Printype
Oliver Typewriters into actual serv
ice, in" many diverse lines of busi
ness. We wanted the public verdict
It came in a burst of admiration and
a flood of orders that proved prin
type a brilliant success. Printype
letters, wherever seen, excited the
keenest interest. Business men who
received their first printype letter
almost invariably answered, post
haste—“where did you get that type
Thus printype captured the country
without firing a single shot.
Price Not Advanced
The Printpe Oliver Typewriter sells
for SIOO. You can pay at. rate of 17
cents a day. The new type adds 25
per cent to the value, but not one
cent to the price. A small cash pay
ment brings the machine.
