Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
Photograph of Ten acre field of alfalfa planted following 2 years of sweet clover, where lime was applied. Sweat clover and alfalfa received application of 48% superphosphate at a rate of 150 pounds per acre. Alfalfa seeded in the fall of 1942 after a field of sweat clover was turned under in the summer of 1942. This method of seeding alfalfa following the sweet clover helps insure complete inoculation of alfalfa. Part of the field seeded to common variety of alfalfa & the rest to the Grimm variety. Recently a small check area has received an application of boron at a rate of 20 pounds per acre. Elbert Graham, farm owner and one of the district supervisors, is standing in the foreground of the picture. AR-D25-70.
