Agricultural Hints on Alfalfa and Legumes for Soils
The notice advises alfalfa as the best hay for all livestock and notes it needs a sweet soil capable of 40 bushels per acre. It stresses planning production and marketing to raise farmer income, considers corn pickers, and notes sweet clover is biennial and not a permanent pasture plant. It also recalls Roman-era use of legumes for soil improvement and the ongoing role of clovers in maintaining soil fertility.
