Excerpt from Forage Crops, Grasses, Alfalfa, Clovers, Etc Alfalfa continues to increase in popularity in Louisiana. Sev eral thousand acres of Red River lands are now profitably devoted to its cultivation. Many sugar planters of South Louisiana are also raising it in areas of IO to 50 acres on each plantation, ex elusively for home consumption. In the hill and bluff sections where proper care has been exercised in establishing it, there are many instances of successful growth. Unfortunately it will not grow in some soils, without previous careful preparation, but where conditions are favorable to its growth, alfalfa surpasses all other plants in producing quantity and quality of hay or green forage.
