ALFALFA MOST : PROFITABLE CROP .Adds Fertility to the Soil?Yields Three to Four Crops of Hay Each Year in the Corn Belt. I j EXCELS EVERY OTHER CROP i i j 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. G. HOLDEN, Director I Agricultural Extension Department International Harvester Co. of New | j Jersey. Alfalfa Should ho Crown on Every Farm 1. It is a profitable crop. 2. Increases farm valaes. 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 alfalfa in the semi-arid sections of the west, throughout the corn belt states, ana in me souui ana east, are conclusive evidence of the great value of alfalfa. There are few farmers whose profits would not be increased greatly by raising 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 increased in the region west of the Missouri river, and it is certain that there will be an equally rapid increase 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, timothy, blue grass and other forage grasses die for want of moisture. Alfalfa 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 animals. 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 aiiaiia. iseitner win give the best results alone. We need alfalfa 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 4 Wood's High-Grade Seeds, i ^ riinonti ri I I \ >1 llLULflL VA The King of Soil Improvers, also makes splendid fall, winter and spring grazing, the earliest green feed, or a good hay crop.

Where alfalfa has not been grown before it may make the difference between sue cess and failure. Mrs. W. R. Lowe Dead. Mrs. \V. R.
