Nature is the tailor that turns out the winter clothes for the alfalfa field and specialists recommend that farm- ers co-operate as far as:possible with nature in replenishing the winter wardrobe of this forage crop. There are two impoftant reasons | why alfalfa should not be cut or graz- ed close at the end of the growing season. It is essential that a sufficient growth be allowed to remain on the field to catch and .hold snow, and to afford protection to the plants from severe winter conditions. It is even more important that the late growth be not cut or grazed, since close cut- ting or grazing makes it impossible for the plant to store up the necessary reserve food material in its crown‘and roots. ‘ ; Unless™ there is such reserve upon which to draw, the vigoy of the plant is greatly impaired and it is not able to withstand severe winter weather. This is true of old as well as of young plants, and in many cases close cut- ting has been as responsible for the mortality of the plants as lack of in- herent hardiness on the part of the strain. % : A common practice of many alfalfa ‘raisers is to cut off a crop of hay rather late in the fall or else to pas- ture the forage so heavily at this time that adequate growth will not be available for the protection of the crop during cold weather. The scant hay crop which the grower gains by this practice of late clipping in no re- spect repays him for the damage which he usually does to his stand of alfalfa. Every farmer should allow his al- falfa fields to grow at random, un- molested during the fall, as by this he is providing the essential warm winter clothes for the crop. Not only should BY US AND at End of Season Declared Harmful in Agri- cultural Department Bulletin he refrain from cutting any hay but he also should be careful not to graze- the alfalfa too closely. This applies particularly to new stands, seeded the preceding summer, as the fall growing season is the time when these new fields establish their root systems and produce sufficient growth for their cold weather protection. This growth, which ultimately dies and lies like a blanket over the field through the winter, will not reduce the quality of the next cutting of hay, but, on the contrary, will act as a beneficial mulch. It is also essential to protect the farm livestock against bloat where they are pastured even lightly during the fall season on the alfalfa fields. This is best done by never turning the livestock on the alfalfa fields at a time when the animals are so hungry that they will gorge themselves with this succulent green feed. .Care must be exercised, particularly, not to graze the alfalfa when it is wet, either from recent rains or from dew, as the green crop in this condition is a prolific cause of bloat. Another reason why late fall cut- tings of new alfalfa fields are undesir- ~able comes from the fact that not only are the hay yields limited in quantity, but they also are inferior in quality, being washy and without the bone- building and growth-producing sub- stances whi¢h are valuable elements in well-matured, full-grown alfalfa. TOWNLEY’S SENTENCE ; Soquel, Cal. Editor Nonpartisan. Leader: I am much interested in the work of the Nonpartisan league, especially - so since I note in the press dispatches that President Townley has been sen- tenced to jail. There must be some- thing very effective in a movement that can call forth a prison sentence for its leaders. As an editor, organiz- er and speaker in the liberal move- ment for several years, I congratulate you on the good work of the League.
