Red Clover With Alfalfa.

Success with alfalfa in "6ur eastern states is more largely dependent upon thorough soil Inoculation than many people realize. We may apply some inoculated soil and do the work as well as possible and yet not have thorough inoculation for years. This crop is bound to come into somewhat general use with us, and there should be more general efforts to secure inoculation of all well-drained land by adding a little alfalfa seed to the red clover wherever red clover is sown. In most instances some alfalfa plants will grow and will have the right bacteria, and these plants will live during the time that the sod stands.
