Soil conservation notes show alfalfa hay yield and practices
Mr. Felix Ottmers of Cave Creek harvested an excellent first alfalfa cutting with potential for two or three more cuts this year. Alfalfa is valued for soil building as well as hay, with other cooperators reporting success. Harry and Otto Ahrens plan to cut volunteer Madrid clover hay soon and will thin the stand with a spring-tooth harrow to restore balance. Chester Bonn and sons began range deferment on Morris Ranch land, noting spring through frost deferment as the fastest method.
