Alfalfa Timing Boosts Yields in Nebraska Tests
Extension News Service reports Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station findings on alfalfa cutting. Three or four harvests yield best results, with two indexes for timing: bloom appearance and new growth at crown. Begin cutting when either index appears. Proper timing saves leaves, the hay’s 50 percent value, with half a day in swath and a day in windrow in dry weather. Rain or poor weather can increase leaf loss and reduce quality.

Helleborie Kills Gooseberry Worms
Helleborie kills gooseberry and currant worm pests, using fresh hellebore. The Nebraskan College of Agriculture recommends two ounces per gallon of water or three ounces per one pound of cheap wheat flour for dry application. Hellebore is less poisonous than Paris green or arsenate of lead and leaves no fruit hazards by harvest. Farmers often remove rye to ensure pure seed next year, with field strips treated quickly to yield seed-free wheat.
