REPORT OF STATE INSPECTOR.
[copy.]
Barre, Mass., Nov. 19, 1906.
J. Lewis Ellsworth, Sec. State Board of Agriculture.
Dear Sir : — Your inspector, as per assignment, visited
the annual fair of the Essex Agricultural Society, held at
Peabody, September 18, 19 and 20, and submits the fol-
lowing report. I reported to the genial secretary of the
Society, Mr. John M. Danforth, on the morning of the
18th. Through his courtesy I met the officers of the So-
ciety formally. They were all alert in their attentions to
their patrons and the many duties belonging to their dif-
ferent stations.

63

I first looked over the dairy stock, seventy-two in num-
ber, mostly thoroughbreds, representatives of the leading
breeds, viz., Holsteins, Jerseys, Guernseys and Ayrshires.
They were well housed and groomed, all good specimens
of their kind, while each competitor showed individuals
of special merit. Only two pairs of working oxen com-
peted by showing their strength and docility on the loaded
stone drag. Your inspector is of the opinion that a trial
on the cart would be much more practical.

The horses came next in line, the exhibit consisting of
stallions for light and heavy harness purposes, gentlemen's
driving horses, light and heavy brood mares and colts. A
small entry, but they all appeared well, both in the har-
ness and the halter. It would seem that the location and
inducements given would bring out a larger exhibit of
this very important and useful animal.

The poultry house was next visited, where I found a
very unusually large and interesting collection of poultry,
hens, geese, ducks, pigeons, and pet stock, doing credit to
the exhibitors and Society as well. There was a small
entry of good swine of the popular breeds. Sheep made
a good showing for the locality.

From the entire absence of the trotting horse, I con-
clude the Society does not cater to that kind of entertain-
ment. A small collection of agricultural implements was
shown under canvass. The midway abounded in side
shows, fakirs, lunch counters, all crying out their wares.
A balloon ascension, with parachute drop, a vaudeville
company appearing on the stage each afternoon, consti-
tuted the side attractions offered by the Society.

A very large display of fruit, cut flowers, needle work,
and works of art, were shown in a down town hall, the
collection being very large and meritorious. All were
artistically arranged and carefully labelled, and with a

64

band concert in the evening, drew large crowds, the paid
admissions of which must add materially to the treasury
of the Society.

The Society's affairs seem to be administered by an able,
conscientious, conservative board of officers. Its financial
standing is apparently good. It has large and centrally
located grounds, first-class buildings to house all kinds of
stock. The Society should have, as it deserves, first-class
patronage. This year children, with an age limit, were
admitted the first day free, a plan which I think other
societies would do well to carefully consider.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) J. Harding Allen, Inspector.

ADDRESS DELIVERED BEFORE THE ESSEX
COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, JANUARY,
1906. BY HENRY FIELDEN, SUPT. CHERRY
HILL FARM, BEVERLY, MASS.

ALFALFA.

Alfalfa or lucerne has been cultivated as a forage plant,
for more than 20 centuries. It was familiar to the Egyp-
tians, Medes and Persians, it was introduced into Greece
470 B. C. It grew spontaneously in the high dry regions
of Central Asia. Preceding the Christian era it was promi-
nent in Roman agriculture. It was esteemed highly by
the ancients as forage for their horses, and it has been
cultivated in Italy to this day. From Italy it was intro-
duced into Spain and Southern France and was carried to
Mexico, at the time of the Spanish Invasion. It found its
way from there to the western coast of South America and
still may be found growing over large areas of that section.
From Chili it was taken to California in 1854 and there,
mainly under irrigation, flourishes today to the exclusion
of other plants. It has spread rapidly eastward and is
now grown extensively in the western states and territories,
and is now commencing to find favor in the eastern states.

Alfalfa is an upright, branching, smooth perennial clover,
growing as high as three feet. Its leaves are three parted.
The blossom is purple, the flowers instead of being in a
head, as in red clover, are in long loose clusters. These
clusters are scattered all over the plant instead of being
borne, as in red clover, on the upper branches only. The
seeds are kidney shaped, yellowish brown in color and

66

average about 1-12 of an inch long by half as thick. They
are about 1-2 larger than red clover seed.

Alfalfa feeds deep. The taproots descend to great
depths wherever the soil is loose and permeable. It has
been known to send its roots to a depth of 40 feet and
under specially favorable conditions it is believed would
go deeper. The young plant consists of a number of low
branches sprouting from a simple base at the crown of the
root. The branches ascend directly above the ground and
form a compact tuft.

When the stems are cut off the stalk dies back to the base
and new buds start out of the crown of the root and grow
forming new stems. This method of growth explains why
so many report that alfalfa is destroyed by continuous
close grazing. The stems of most forage plants when cut or
broken branch out above ground forming lateral shoots that
immediately grow up and take the place of the old stem.
With alfalfa it comes direct from the crown of the root.

Alfalfa will grow in favorable soil anywhere from sea-
level to 7000 feet elevation, it is not influenced as much
by altitude as by warmth and depth of soil, the drainage
and character of subsoil. It will grow best on a light
sandy loam with a loose subsoil. It was generally believed
that the plant would thrive best in the regions west of the
Rocky Mountains but since 1894 as good results have
been obtained east of the Rocky Mountains and a better
grade of hay grown where the subsoil was loose and per-
meable. Alfalfa will not grow well on land that contains
an excess of iron ; it feeds heaviest on lime, potash, mag-
nesium and phosphoric acid and succeeds best where these
elements are in evidence. Lime is the most essential to
its rapid and thrifty growth. Above all, the land must
be well drained, naturally or artificially. Alfalfa is seldom
a success on land where the subsoil is impervious to water.

67

The first two months of the life of the alfalfa plant is the
most critical period, and at this time it is very susceptible
to changes in temperature and excess of water. Alfalfa
will not thrive with wet feet. The land on which it is
proposed to grow alfalfa should have been planted with a
hoed crop for several years, so that all weeds could be
subdued. The land should be thoroughly plowed and
harrowed. In the preparation of the land for alfalfa at
Cherry Hill Farm the land is first plowed to a depth of
eight or ten inches, a heavy coating of manure applied
and thoroughly harrowed in with a double action cutaway
harrow. Thirty bushels of lime to the acre are applied,
spread evenly, and thoroughly worked into the soil with
the same harrow. Five hundred pounds of fertilizer is
then spread, and the land harrowed as many times as is
necessary to make a tine seed bed. I have harrowed a
field as many as fifteen times, and have been well repaid
for doing so. After the seed bed is prepared, we sow
thirty pounds of alfalfa seed to the acre. In the past we
have used a nurse crop with the alfalfa ; in the future we
shall use none. The first cost of preparation of the soil
may seem large, but it must be considered that you expect
to take three crops a year for three and as many more
years as you can. The first expense is therefore spread
over several years. Plowing deep is essential to success,
as shallow plowing often causes failures. If the roots
cannot penetrate a foot the first year, your crop being a
surface one, is liable to be killed out the first winter, or by
severe drought in summer. It would be a benefit to sub-
soil if your alfalfa goes down fifteen inches the first year.
I think there is no doubt of success. Alfalfa has been
known to thrive on land with hardpan sub-soil, but it will
do better on land with a loose sub-soil.

The best time to sow the seed is in spring, as soon as the

68

land warms up,the seed may be either broadcasted or drilled.
We sow broadcast. To get a good quality of forage the
plants should be close together, so that the stems will be
small and not woody. Alfalfa is easily choked with weeds,
hence the necessity of clean land. As soon as our plants
are a foot tall, we mow them down, whether there are
weeds or not. This cutting should be left on the ground
to protect the roots from the scorching sun. Whether the
field is weedy or not, repeat the mowing as often as your
crop is high enough to cut, as every time you cut off the
plant it drives the roots deeper into the soil, and this will
give the plant more strength and vigor to go through the
winter. Alfalfa will yield a better crop the second and
succeeding years than the first year. On a plot of three
acres which had been down three years we cut sixteen and
one-third tons of cured alfalva in three cuttings, and could
have cut a fourth cutting, but preferred to leave it for a
mulch for winter.

The centre of that field was killed out last winter by
water collecting on it and freezing, the centre of the field
being a basin, the outer edges where the water could drain
off, wintered all right, and we cut off four crops during
the past season, and then plowed the field up. We have
ten acres which has srone through two seasons, and we cut
off three heavy crops the past summer, and on Oct. 18th
I cut this bunch of alfalfa hap-hazard from the field, and
it measured eighteen inches tall. This was a fourth crop,
which was left as a mulch. We cut the alfalfa as soon as
the first blossoms appear. If you wait until your field is
in full bloom, you will have lost a good part of your feed-
ing value, as the stem will have become too woody, mak-
ing it unpalatable for cattle. We cut in the afternoon,
let the alfalfa lie in the swath until wilted, then rake into
windrows, put it up in cocks five feet high. We then

69

cover these with hay caps ; as soon as the dew is off the fol-
lowing day, we uncover and move the cocks over on to new
ground, cover again at night, and continue to do this until
the alfalva is cured and ready to put in the barn. If
the cocks are left in one place longer than twenty-four
hours, the alfalfa plants underneath are liable to be smoth-
ered. It usually takes six days to cure it in this way,
which is the only way to cure it, and save the leaves,
which are its greatest value. Alfalfa does not turn water
as readily as red clover or timothy, hence it should be cov-
ered in curing. A soaking rain will decrease its value
fifty per cent.

The length of time which alfalfa will grow without re-
seeding is something we cannot yet tell in this climate,
but if we only are able to save it three years I consider it
a paying crop. In the state of Sonora, Mexico, is a field
known to have been kept in alfalfa for sixty years, and is
said to be in as good condition to-day as it ever was. In
the West growers frequently go over their fields with a
sharp-tooth harrow to loosen up the surface of the ground
and kill out weeds where they appear, and sow in seed in
places where the plants are thin. I have not done this
yet, but propose doing so in the spring.

FEEDING VALUE.

For dairy cattle there is no forage that equals alfalfa.
It is palatable, rich, easily digested. In the west in many
cases dairy cows are fed alfalfa to the exclusion of every-
thing else in the forage line, and with corn it makes a
balanced ration, being rich in protein and lacking in carbo-
hydrates ; the corn supplies the carbo-hydrates.

D. H. Otis, Professor of Dairy Husbandry at the Kan-
sas Agricultural College, says: " Alfalfa can be used in
place of bran for dairy cows, and is the only roughage

70

that can be used with corn and make a balanced ration.
While feeding the alfalfa to dairy cows at this station, we
have produced butter fat at 11.9 cents per pound. When
we did not have alfalfa, and were obliged to balance up
the ration with high priced concentrates, the butter fat
cost from 15 to 17 cents a pound."

When fed to work horses with the addition of a small
grain ration, they will keep in good condition.

Alfalva is one of the best soiling crops. It can be fed
to advantage in this wa}r in New England, especially in
seasons when the weather is not favorable to curing it.
Care should be taken not to feed it when it is wet, as,
like clover, it will bloat the cattle. It can be pastured by
sheep or cattle, but it is unsafe to pasture it on account of
danger from over-eating, causing bloating. Another of
the disadvantages of pasturing alfalfa is the tramping by
the cattle, which packs the soil too hard around the roots,
preventing the alfalfa from making proper growth.

The feeding of alfalfa hay in winter gives the milk and
butter a rich yellow color.

As to its value as a milk producer, from recent tests at
Cherry Hill Farm I found that by feeding alfalfa in place
of clover mixed hay to eighty cows, at an additional cost
of one dollar per day over the cost of the clover hay, we
got an increase in milk of fifty quarts per day, which to
us was five dollars a day, against an outlay of one dollar.
To the farmer, getting four cents a quart for his milk, it
would mean an increase of two dollars for an expenditure
of one dollar.

ALFALFA AS A SOIL RENOVATOR.

Alfalfa belongs to the class of plants known as nitrogen
gatherers. All legumes draw nitrogen directly from the
air. The roots of the alfalfa plants will be found to be

7i

covered with a number of small nodules, or tubercles, and
if these nodules are examined under a strong microscope,
the tissues will show great numbers of bacteria. It is
through the action of these organisms that the plant draws
nitrogen from the air. Grasses take no nitrogen, except
that which is in soluble form in the soil. Alfalfa manu-
factures the most valuable and expensive fertilizer. By
raising alfalfa you not only provide the best forage for
your stock, but you are enriching your fields at the same
time. When this crop is plowed under or fed to stock,
and the manure returned to the ground, it supplies a large
quantity of nitrogen. And in my opinion, in feeding
alfalfa to your cattle and using the manure from those
cattle on your land, you are distributing the bacteria nec-
essary to the successful growing of alfalfa on your land.

ENEMIES OF ALFALFA.

In the eastern states the greatest enemy to the success-
ful growth of Alfalfa is weedy land. Of our native
grasses, witch grass is the worst, so don't sow alfalfa on
land infested with witch grass. The worst weed which
growers of alfalfa east of the Missouri river have to con-
tend with is dodder or love vine. This weed, or the species
that does the greatest damage, is an importation, and has
spread over a large part of the states where alfalfa is
grown. It was brought to this country in flax and alfalfa
seed from Europe. Dodder belongs to the morning glory
family, but unlike the common morning glory of the fields,
it is parasitic, the stems are without leaves and appear like
threads, orange or yellow in color. When the seed of the
dodder germinates the young, the plant is able to grow
for a short time upon the supply of food laid up for it in
the seed, but unless its stem can feed it dies. As soon as
the dodder touches the stem of the alfalfa it twines itself

72

around it and fastens itself to the stalk with numerous
suckers which enter the tissues of the alfalfa plant. These
suckers draw all the food materials from the alfalfa and
soon choke it out. The only practical remedy for the ex-
termination of dodder is to mow the alfalfa in early sum-
mer and burn it where it lies. This will completely kill
the dodder without injuring the alfalfa as alfalfa comes
from crown of the root under ground. The best way is
to prevent its introduction into your land by buying seed
free from it. So far I have not heard of any dodder grow-
ing in New England fields of alfalfa.

Alfalfa weighs 60 lbs. to the bushel.

For a hay crop sow 30 lbs. to the acre.

Sow seed that is clean and free from weed seeds.

Sow in spring as soon as the ground gets warm. Sow
broadcast.

Do not cover the seed too deep.

Alfalfa does not attain maturity until after the second
year, therefore do not get discouraged if you do not get
results at first.

Alfalfa grows best on a deep sandy loam with a loose
subsoil. The land must be well drained.

Alfalfa is a deep feeder, plow the ground thoroughly,
the deeper the better.

Alfalfa will not thrive on an acid soil, overcome acid
conditions with lime.

Cut when first blossoms appear, in afternoon, allow it to
wilt, put up in cocks, cover with hay caps, move each day
until cured. Do not cut too late in the season.

From U. S. government tests, one acre of alfalfa hay has
produced as much beef as 9,575 lbs. of timothy hay or
almost 2 acres of timothy. It has produced as much beef
as 11,967 lbs. of red clover or equal to 1 3-4 acres.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE CHOSEN TO PREPARE

SUITABLE REPORT ON THE DEATH

OF BENJAMIN P. WARE.

The Essex Agricultural Society desires to put on record
its high appreciation of the character and career of Benja-
min Pond Ware. For two generations, the term extending
from 1848 until his death at the age of 84, Feb. 7, 1906,
Mr. Ware was a member of this Society, serving it constant-
ly in every various function, and for sixteen years, from
1875 to 1891, he was its president. He was born in Sa-
lem, Apr. 9, 1822. He was the son of Erastus Ware, a
typical New England farmer. The father came of sturdy,
puritanic stock, descendants from an old-world ancestry
through the pioneer, Robert Ware, who left Suffolk, Eng-
land, for Dedham in New England, in 1634, and received
a grant of land in the part of Dedham now Wrentham,
being a householder, in 1642. Coming from Wrentham in
Suffolk he probably gave the name of Wrentham to his
part of Dedham, where he died the second man in impor-
tance in the town. Erastus Ware had left Wrentham for
Danvers in 1810, and had at once become an authority in
milk-farming and in the special problems which husbandry
involves when conducted in populous sections and near
city markets. He married a Wardwell, a daughter of one
of Washington's life-guardsmen, — and from 1820 to 1845,
he was in charge, together with his sons Horace and Ben-
jamin, both born there, of the great Pickman Farm in Sa-
lem,— four hundred and twenty odd acres in area, — the
largest aggregation of tillage land under one title in this
county. In 1831, Erastus Ware bought the old farm in
Marblehead since identified with the name, and here he
was a pioneer in the practice of opening his doors to sum-
mer guests. At the old farm house, in 1835, he received

74

and protected George Thomson and William Lloyd Garri-
son, upon whose views of slavery, then denounced with
threats of violence, the Wares looked with favor. In
1846 his son Benjamin and he built the Clifton House,
which took its name from Hannah Upham Clifton, married
to Benjamin Ware that year, and, with a daughter, survi-
ving him. It was successfully conducted as a seaside re-
sort until it burned down in 1893.

Benjamin Pond Ware lived to a ripe old age. For
nearly his whole life he was exceptionally active in mind
and body Growing up as Ijp. did in a family which, with
Timothy Pickering, regarded husbandry as " the noblest
of pursuits " and like him, in 1820 found the soil of our
historic farms "already exhausted and needing manures,"
— there was little to be known of Essex County farming
which Mr. Ware did not know. It was his fortune to live
in a day when old systems were making way for new
scientific methods and larger mechanical aids and better
facilities for brain-work in the craft which makes two
blades of grass grow where one grew before. Denser pop-
ulations to be fed and increased land-values which must
yield an income were calling for a more productive hus-
bandry. For a century the French had taught in their
schools the art and science of tilling the soil by systematic
methods. Mr. Ware was a true son of the Puritan in his
reverence for tradition, but his mind was hospitably open
to new methods. Nobody was before him in the use of
the silo, and, at the close of his active career, a tour of
Europe afforded new views of the ancient methods there
pursued which he made haste to share with the brethren
of his craft. He was an effective public speaker and
writer, and the " Massachusetts Ploughman " furnished
him throughout his life with a medium for reaching others
which his scanty schooling would have closed to a man of

75

less vigor. Two terms at the Phillips Andover Academy
supplemented for him the winter sessions of the District
School, but these gave him all the vocabulary which an
earnest, progressive thinker, full of public spirit, found oc-
casion to use. His voice was good, — his manner confident
but unassuming, and his whole bearing, marked by trans-
parent frankness, was such as carries conviction, and had
the emphasis that belongs to a strong man.

Early and late, Mr. Ware urged the establishment of a
State Agricultural Experimental Station, and he lived to
be a manager of such a school as well as a member of a
State Board of Agriculture. He was a Vice-President of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, of which, in 1865,
he became a life member. He was master of the State
Grange of Massachusetts for two years, and of Subordinate
Grange Number 38, for six years. He was President of
the Marblehead and Swampscott Farmers' Club for four
years, and for ten years a Trustee of the Massachusetts
Agricultural College, and for nine years a trustee of the
New England Agricultural Society.

Practical farmer that he was in every fibre, these activ-
ities, added to the daily oversight of a well-kept farm, did
not exhaust his vital forces. He was for sixteen years on
the School Board of his town, and for five years a Trustee
of the local Savings Bank. No enterprise which seemed
to promise well for human advancement was without its
interest for him,— be it good roads,— the planting of shade
trees,— the protection of children and dumb creatures
against brutality and neglect,— the improvement of crops
and live-stock,— or some moral, social, educational or po-
litical movement which called for self-sacrifice, intelligence
and courage. Popular or not, Mr. Ware could be counted
on to stand by his convictions. If he was always the
thrifty and sagacious model farmer,— the true son of the

76

soil, — he Avas no less the large-hearted, open-minded, pub-
lic-spirited citizen. He did much to secure the freeing of
the Salem and Boston Turnpike and of the Chelsea Bridge,
with the incidental result that tolls were speedily abolished
on every incorporated turnpike and bridge in Massachu-
setts. He did much to promote the chartering of a street
railway between Lynn and Boston and the subsequent ex-
tension of it to Marblehead. He did much to push on the
construction of the spur-track of the Eastern Railroad
which joined Swampscott with Marblehead. He was a
principal factor in urging forward to success, in the face
of grave opposition, the beautiful and now populous shore
drive called Atlantic Avenue, which has resulted so aus-
piciously for the surrounding section. New England hus-
bandry will look far to find a more typical or more esti-
mable follower of the craft of Adam.

from which he is to be elected for at least one week before
said meeting to the Secretary, and he shall prepare ballots
for the same.

Art. 2. There shall be an Annual Meeting of the So-
ciety, at such times as the Trustees shall determine, at
which all officers shall be elected. Twenty members at
least shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business.

Art. 3. If at any meeting of the Society, or the Trus-
tees, the President and Vice Presidents shall be absent,
the members present may appoint one from among them
to preside at such meeting.

Art. 4. The President, or in case of his absence, either
of the Vice Presidents, with the advice of the Trustees,
may call a special meeting of the Society ; or whenever a
written application, with the reason assigned therefor,

82

shall be made by any twelve members of the Society to
the President and Trustees, they shall call such meeting.

Art. 5. The meetings of the Trustees shall be held at
such time and place as they shall from time to time agree
upon; seven of whom, with the presiding officer, shall
make a quorum.

Art. 6. The Trustees shall regulate all the concerns of
the Society during the intervals of the meetings ; propose
such objects of improvement to the attention of the public,
publish such communications, and offer such premiums in
such form and value as they think proper (provided the
premiums offered do not exceed the funds of the Society) ;
and shall lay before the Society at each of its meetings a
statement of their proceedings and of the communications
made to them.

Art. 7. The Secretary shall take minutes of all the
votes and proceedings of the Society and of the Trustees,
and enter them in separate books ; and shall record all
such communications as the Trustees shall direct. He

of the Society.

Art. 8. The Treasurer shall receive all monies due or

a fair record thereof. The Treasurer shall from time to
time pay out such monies as he shall have orders for from
the Trustees ; and shall annually, and whenever thereto
required, render a fair account of all his receipts and pay-
ments to the Society or a committee thereof. He shall
give bonds for the faithful discharge of duty in such sum
as the trustees shall direct, and with such sureties.

Art. 9. A committee shall be appointed annually by

83

the Trustees to audit the Treasurer's accounts, who shall

be entered by the Secretary in his books.

Art. 10. In case of death, resignation, incapacity, or
removal out of the county, of the Secretary, or of the
Treasurer, the Trustees shall take charge of the official
books, papers, and other effects belonging to the office that
may be vacated, and give receipts for the same, which
books, papers, etc., they may deliver to some person whom
they may appoint to fill the office until the next meeting
of the Society, at which time there shall be a new choice.

Art. 11. *Any citizen of the county may become a
member of the Society b}r paying the sum of three dol-
lars to increase the permanent fund of the institution.

Art. 12. A committee shall be raised from time to
time to solicit and receive subscriptions for raising a fund
for encouraging the noblest of pursuits, the Agriculture
of our county, the same to be sacredly appropriated to that
purpose.

Art. 13. All ordained ministers of the gospel who
reside within the county shall be admitted honorary mem-
bers of the Society.

Art. 14. In addition to the usual number of Trustees
annually elected, the past presidents of the Society shall
