As a result of last year's attack of
crown or root rot, many alfalfa flelds
are showing areas where the plants
have died out entirely. The old crowns
remain brown and no new growth ap-

have stored potatoes, apples, and In

successfully, and aside from the slight
difficulty of getting them out during
the winter, we have had no reason
whatever to complain of this method
of storage.
Four Important Factors
Governing Alfalfa Crop
There are about four factors which
usually govern the growth of alfalfa
~drainage, Inocuation, limestone and
phosphate. Without deep drainage, al-
falfa cannot extend its roots deep
enough to make heavy growth or to
continue Its growth through a dry sea.
son. Without inoculation, the alfalfa
cannot secure enough nitrogen to make
a maximum growth. On solls which
are rich in organic matter more nitro
gen can be taken from the soll, but
there is almost no soll rich enough in
humus and nitrogen for alfalfa to make
a heavy growth without being able to
secure some alr nitrogen by means of
inoculation,
