Alfalfa Stand Requires Northern Grown Seed For Best Growth
Colorado agronomist Alvin Kezer warns alfalfa commands high value and stresses using hardy northern grown seed. Experiments show southern or Argentine seeds fail in harsh winters, while seedbed can use snow protected stubble or be seeded with small grains to cut establishment costs. Irrigation should be light and frequent until stand is established, and thinning stands should be reseeded rather than thickening.

Disinfection of Seed Is Superior Practice
Seed sellers urge disinfection before sale to prevent disease. Hot water treatment at 118 degrees Fahrenheit requires germination checks to ensure seed viability. Follow directions on any commercial disinfectant to avoid crop contamination.
Potatoes Under Straw Cultivation Discussed
The article notes potatoes can be grown under straw to suppress weeds and keep soil cool. It states cool moist soil is best and that the method has been used occasionally but never widely adopted, with standard planting methods yielding better results.
Effective Fly Sprays for Livestock Care
The text discusses choosing fly sprays that relieve animals without full immunity. It recommends a pump with enough pressure to make the spray cling, a pleasant odor, and a coat that does not gum. It also notes that keeping the stable partially darkened enhances spray effectiveness.
Sheep and poultry guidance for farmers and consumers
The text advises rotating ewes and lambs to fresh pasture every two weeks and adjusting mash hopper design to avoid floor placement. It notes using epsom salts for sheep stretches, claims consumers pay more while farmers gain less on large crops, warns of apoplexy in well appearing chickens, and stresses providing ample feeders and a heated mash ration for laying flocks.
