CATE.- - i : (County Agriculturist.) .; Tha siinraRRfnl frrnvinir nf nlfalfn in U nion county in various kinds: of sous, in different locations, , is becom ing a very important feature in "the agricultural , development . of ' he county. There are many factors that enter, into successful growth of al falfa, some of which mav be 'con trolled by the proper selection! Vol soils : and proper cultural ; ' methods. In most all fieldn some of thasa cnn. ditions have been complied with more or less;, and generally over the county, alfalfa growine is considered a suc cessful crot. There are some niaees in Union county where alfalfa 1 has never been grown, that ought toibe growing a great auantitv of thiR val uable forage crop. ' . Upon investigation and examina tion of many of the alfalfa fields of Union county. I have found a irraat number of places where there seems to he an insufficient amount of bac teria nodules, that are so aimanHal to profitable and successful growing 01 auaiia. and " organic u .. natures. ,: Various amounts of nitrogen are found in our various soils, both in available and unavailable forms. Nitrogen is -not used by our plants directly, but is taken" up in combination with other elements. The atmosnham. nf. whih about four-fifths is nitrogen, offers our greatest source for nlnnt fnnA v.,'?twen;; appeatt. in ..at mosphere, it is! in unavailable form and: cannot be utilized bjr our plant life without: the assistance of certain bacteria, which we know to be as sociated with leguminous plants. 1 This., bacteria liva in tha imJiiU which are formed upon the roots of tnese leguminous plants. These bac teria have the' nower to ' tnba tv nitrogen from the air and convert it into forms that will anon Wiuna available to these leguminous plants. wny inese oacteria assist themselves witn, leguminous plants is not known, of inoculation should : receive ii more careful .attention from ' our ' alfalfa, growers. . - Many farmecs are, contemplating planting alfalfa in localitis where it has never been grown before, and un der these -circumstances, I would rec ommend that thev inoculata thaiV ul or. their soil, aa it will prove profitable. . .ihere are two ways of inoculation First, that of seed; second, that of soil, " Culture for . seed lnrwhM.rir.o- purposes: may be '.obtained, from the Department of Agriculture, Washing ton, D.

This I think has been the case with as vara 1 of our alfalfa fields. I believe that more attention shoudl be paid to this matter as it is varv imnortont n..l can be handled without much cost to the farmer. I have also found some alfalfa fields that were thnrnnirhlv in. oculated, others very sparsely J and outers witnout any inoculation what ever.
