What reading level is The Cultivation of Alfalfa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The percentage of poor seed can be estimated as germination occurs, and should not be over 10 per cent. From 16 to 20 Ib. Of seed per acre will be found suitable. The seed may be broadcasted and harrowed in, but a far more even and vigorous strand will be secured by drilling. If a nurse crop be used, the alfalfa-seed can be put into the grass-seed attach- ment and dropped ahead. A nurse crop for alfalfa in British Columbia is of doubt- ful benefit, especially in the drier non-irrigated sections.... If used, it should be either of wheat or barley, or a mixture of both sown quite thinly, not much more than one bushel per acre being used. Oats have a greater tendency to smother the young alfalfa-plants. Without a nurse crop, the drill set fairly shallow with the sprouts pointing backwards is probably best. It is not advisable to place the seed at a depth of more than an inch and a half. If difficulty is experienced in adjusting the drill to small amounts, mixing the seed with twice its bulk of meal of some kind will assist.
