| Question: | "We have a considerable quantity of alfalfa which grows in what will be our rough, and we desire to exterminate it. What is the best method of killing alfalfa?" |

| Source of Question: | New York |

| Answer/Response: | "With regard to killing alfalfa in your rough, it is rather difficult to do this, especially if you have a thick stand of it. To get rid of an alfalfa plant you must cut it off to about 6 inches underneath the surface of the ground. If you have scattered plants this can be done very readily by the use of a mattock, cutting off each individual plant and removing the top that is cut off. If the stand of alfalfa is so thick that this would be rather expensive as regards the labor cost, your only other recourse would be to plow up the rough and rake the alfalfa plants out with a spike-tooth harrow, removing the plants–root and all–and hauling them away." |
