and is reasonably fertile six pounds of
timothy seed in the fall and eight to
ten pounds of clover seed in the spring

The oat crop does not require deep

Land intended for aifalfa should be

land should be made rich in lime. If
alfalfa has never been grown upon the
land it is well to apply some soil from
an old alfalfa field in order that the
alfalfa bacteria may be introduced into
the soil. The peed bed should be made
thoroughly fine and firm in order that
moisture may rige to the surface where
the seed will germinate,
