ALFALFA GROWING.
CLADE C. 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-

larly true of our own county soils, in

I think has been the case with as vara 1

alfalfa fields that were thnrnnirhlv in.
