"The Book of Alfalfa: History, Cultivation and Merits" by F. D. Coburn is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive guide provides an in-depth exploration of alfalfa, covering its history, cultivation methods, and benefits as a forage and fertilizer. It aims to inform farmers and agricultural enthusiasts on how to successfully implement alfalfa into their farming practices. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by discussing the long-standing importance of alfalfa in agriculture and its rich history, tracing its origins from Central Asia to its cultivation in various regions around the world. The foreword by a former governor expresses excitement about the renewed interest in alfalfa and its potential to transform agriculture in America. Coburn emphasizes the plant's ability to enhance soil fertility and serve as an excellent forage for livestock, while also providing insights into different strains of alfalfa and the necessity of careful seed selection for successful cultivation.
