Alfalfa Campaigns Reach Michigan Ohio and Illinois Farmers
Campaign organizers led by P G Holden of International Harvester plan field meetings and farm visits to promote alfalfa as a profitable crop. In Kent County Michigan six thousand farmers were visited over five days, with thirty-two meetings and a mobile alfalfa train covering 375 miles. By two months, nearly 50 000 farmers heard alfalfa talks, and about 200 000 acres may be seeded next season as schools join the effort and follow-up staff are dispatched to assist growers.

August Seeding
August Seeding by W and Cotton of Sedalia Missouri shares eight years of alfalfa experiments. Sowing in August is too late for crab grass and fox tail but allows crops to withstand winter. Inoculation not needed in this section, but manure helps. Well drained land suffices, though most soil benefits from lime to sweeten. A firm thoroughly pulverized seed bed is important.

Alfalfa in the Ozarks
Stuart Henderson reports long term alfalfa success on Ozark border hill land in Cape Girardeau County Missouri since 1904. He notes alfalfa’s drought resistance, lack of washing, manure top dressing boosting yields, and its value with corn silage as rough feed for dairy cows. He switched from clover due to uncertainty and now relies on alfalfa for hay while using short rotation clover and timothy for pasture.
