Y. Best Cash Crop. As a cash crop, alfa'fa Is better thau timothy, because the demand for alfalfa is good whereas the demand for timothy is poor. As alfalfa Is used more and more by feeders In regions where It cannot be produced cheaply, the demand probably will increase. Aside from the chances of marketing it at a profit, uifulfa has other advantages, the college says. It ts high fu protein and therefore can be substituted, In part, for cth cent rates in feeding dairy cattle. The college points out that alfalfa prices were good and New York growers found it a profitable field, crop even when the prices of mill feeds were low. If It was profitable to grow alfalfa then, it should be still more profitable to grow lj when the prices of ndll feeds are higher, for tlds should stimulate the use of alfalfa. Sell Good Product. Farmers who plan to produce alfalfa to sell, however, should be careful to oiTer only .that which Is free from weeds and other grasses and wlilch is well cured. Much New York alfalfa that is marketed usually has to be sold at a low price because tt has poor quality.
