Don't sow a big area to alfalfa until you have tried a small experimental patch. Where barnyard manure is available no belter fertilizer can be obtained for growing tomatoes. Cut clover hay when about half the blossoms are brown; cut timothy just as the bloom is falling. The tomato will not thrive upon wet soil, as it is a plant that, is very intolerant of "wet feet."
