ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE CROP. ck ?* Per Acre Value Five Times More .Than Clover?Some Wisconsin an Census Figures Which Talk 1P" for Themselves. >n )et According to the 1910 census of the 2- hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew 00 18,000 acres of alfalfa, which averaged -rd 2.8 tons per acre for the entire state, an and the average acre value of the te- crop was $31.00. During the same ?ur year the combined acreage of timothy and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre, he valued at $14.00. It costs no more to he grow an acre of alfalfa than it does ib- to grow an acre of timothy or clover, of The average cost of growing an acre er- of clover or timothy is approximately $10.00. Thus the farmer would clear to $4.00 per acre in growing these crops, iat whereas if he grew alfalfa he would jn i make a profit of $21.00 per acre, or Fie ! 101 Alfalfa Moft Valuable ;?? | Forage Crop 5X- !
