Barkley Township Farmer Has Cut His Third Crop of Alfalfa,

“Uncle” Charley Pullins was in from Barkley township today and reports that he cut his third crop of alfalfa from a three-acre field last Friday and Is today stacking it. Since It was cut the growth has been two or three inches and if good weather prevails Mr. Pullins expects to get another crop yet this year. The growth has been about six feet during the season and about 9 tons was harvested from three acres. It is the finest foliage feed there is for both horses and cattle. Mr. Pullin has one spring colt that weighs 840 pounds and alfalfa and oats did the business. He has demonstrated that Jasper county soil will grow alfalfa and farmers will doubtless find it profitable to raise it in the future.
