Description:Excerpt from Growing Alfalfa in Illinois While the legume acreage in Illinois has been greatly increased during the past ten years, few counties are producing half the legumes which good practices would seem to justify. In 1920 the U. S. Census reported acres of improved land in farms in Illinois. Of this area 3,069,000b acres were seeded in legumes in 1927, or one acre in every If one acre in every four of cultivated land were to be devoted to legumes, the 1927 acreage would need to be increased about 222 percent. (the alfalfa acreage, like the acreage of soybeans and sweet clover, has been substantially increased in Illinois during the past ten years, but production is not yet sufficient to meet the needs of the state. According to conservative estimate about tons were shipped into Illinois in 1928 despite the fact that about tons were harvested. Alfalfa was early recognized as a valuable crop for Illinois agri culture. More than a quarter of a century ago investigations were started at the University of Illinois, under the direction of the late Dr. Cyril G. Hopkins, to solve the many problems encountered in the production of this crop under Illinois conditions. The work has been continued with special emphasis on soil treatment and on the finding of adapted varieties and strains. The information gleaned from these experiments is reported in this bulletin, and it is hoped that the wide dissemination of these facts will help to overcome the chief hazards in alfalfa production in this state.
