ALFALFA. OR LUCERN.
Although partially roared on a farm,
we know so little about farming that
we hesitate to ever have the appear
ance of trying to tell farmers how to
rve. tntir business, and in this article
we only presume to suggest the trial
of a crop that, we believe, will prove
beneficial to them. Several weeks ago
we chanced to be in North Carolina,
and had the' pleasure of seeing a
“patch" of alfalfa. The cultivator,
Mr. George Taylor, informed us that
he cut this “patch” from eight to ten
times a year; that this was the third
year since the first planting; it
does not salivate stock, and is a fine
feed for all animals.

!
one-fourth of an acre Mr. Taylor had
raised enough green feed to supply
one sow and two horses. In connec
Hon with the cultivation
lucern, we dip the following from the
Sumter Item, it having been contrib-,
uted fo that paper by a reader who j
has had two years’ experience |n grow'-1
Ing alfalfa:
Preparation of Soil—The essential
feature In growing alfalfa Is to have j
a thoroughly prepared seed bed. This
may be done by broadcasting cow r peas
on the land a few months before al
falfa is planted. The cow pea. owing
to its quick growth, will soon shade
the Land, prevent native grasses and
weeds from growing. Alfalfa requires
humus and a deep soil.
The land should be prepared by
deep and thorough plowing, to enable
the roots to penetrate the soil.
The land should be well pulverized
by harrowing, before the seed are
sown Whatever treatment the land
is given in preparation for this crop,
it should be such ias to afford a deep,
mellow seed bed. as free as possible
from crab grass and weeds.
Commercial fertilizers may he ap
plied by harrowing in at the time that
the land is being pulverized prevlom
to seeding. It would not he advisable
to use barn yard manure on land
previous to seeding alfalfa; while the
manure would Improve the physical
condition of the soil, it would aid the
weeds in choking out the alfalfa. Barn
yard manurp mav he applied the rhir ’
year, and in each year afterwards, be
cause there will then be less danger of
the alfalfa being choked out by the
weeds. ,
Sowing the Seed—Having put the |
seed bed in the very best possible con- j u
dirion. the alfalfa seed should he sown 3
In drills 11 to IS Inches apart, the j
first week in October. Alfalfa sown m
broadcast will certainly prove a com-1 ^
plete failure in this locality. There
are two reasons why alfalfa should
be planted in October: the first to
enable the plant to withstand the fol
lowing winter; second, to enable It
to escape the Intense midsummer heat
and drought. The amount of seed
should be 20 to 25 pounds per acre.
The stand must be thick enough to en‘
able the crop to withstand the weeds
that would otherwise take possession
of the land. After seeding, the land
should bp rolled, in order that the al
falfa may come up uniformly.
Cultivation—Cultivation is one of
the essential features of growing al
falfa. Unless it is cultivated with
absolute thoroughness thp first year.
H Is useless to attempt to grow this
plant, where the land is infested with
crab grass and weeds. This cultiva
tion may he done with a small scrape
for thp first two years. The third
year and afterwards the cultivation
may he done with a disk harrow
drawn by two horses. Se? the harrow
to run just deep enough to destroy the
weeds ami cultivate the alfalfa.
Harvesting—Alfalfa hay, when cut
a* rhe proper time, and well cured,
has a feeding value superior to any
forage crop grown in the South. The
harvesting season for this locality Is
from the m ddle of April until October
It should he cut for hay as soon as it
comes into bloom, and if allowed to
stand until full bloom the leaves will
drop off.
Feeding Value— Alfalfa hay can be
fed profitablv to all kinds of farm
stock My piiiCtical experience feed-
ir.g this crop, both green and dry, for
the past two years, has been entirely
satlsf’<’torv. and I can safely recom
mend this plant to be relished by all
kinds of farm stock. Last year I cut
d 1-2 tons of dry lay per acre, valued
at) $12 per ton—$13. Why not reduce
your cotton re reage and plant a few J
acres of this ''a uable hay crop?
Just think, you can make an extra room of your porch—the
coolest, mo-t serviceable room in your home, too—at a cost of
from $2.00 to $10.00!
Vudor Porch Shades make this possible ; they keep out the
hot sun, hut admit the cool, refreshing breeze.
They can be instantly raised or lowered, with very little effort.
They are light, hut exceedingly durable, being constructed of
thin strips of Linden wood fibre woven with the strongest seine
1 \\ ine.
Their moderate price puts them within the reach of everyone
who can afford to have a porch at all, The cost is insignificant
On less than | in comparison with their utility and the added comfort and
- ‘ ‘ I'leasure they afford.
Think of the many pleasant hours you can spend on your porch
during the hot, stilling days in summer if it is equipped with
these shades ! And then ask yourself, can you afford to he with
out Vudor Porch Shades this summer?
Then in connection with Shades you should have a Vudor
Hammock—the best made. Come and see them.
Yours truly,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Vesterday, when the wind was send
ing the dust everywhere, and so blind
ing pedestrians that one could hardly
see where he was going, a citizen said*
"Whv don’t you rap the town coun
cil for its failure to water the streets?’
Good gracious alive, man, don’t you
know- we haven’t water enough ro keep
things going without wasting It on the
stree’s? But the town council can
Jurt consider Itself knocked, anyway.
All should bear Prof. Robert Hern-
den, the famous cornetlst, Thursday
evening at dm Theater.
It costs us more to

would if we made our

quently our profit is
smaller; but it is a satis
faction to us to know
we are giving you the
best product that money
can buy. Brannon’s
Cream is favorably
known all over South

it were possible to get
