Ictva Stat Colics I'cpvrlsht. loVfl. by Amcririll Pw Amili MOXS the Important classes of , V4 crops grown oh the .'arm ire j A"s the legume. The soil Is to. the . fanner what a M.vK of pHxlt ' 19 to a merchant. He cannot keep: drawing on It forever without punlug something back. Ordinary tvp.s take plant food from the store In tho soil. This must lo ro;I.ivd ill some way. Legumes, ou tho oilier hand, loavo the soil rli her rather than P'suvr. If you will exnii'.lr.e the roots of a clover plant carefully v.mi will notice liltmerous little swellings :i!..iit l!u rIo cf pin head or a ll:il.' larger. Then are called ii.Mti!o and are the home if certain bacteria. Those bao- tc-!a are mim.te or.o oelio.l plants, so small that thousands of the: "i ca.i hang on the p.i.'nt of n pi:i. We sl.all study some of the different classes of hao teria In detail later. The ones that live on the roots of legumes have the power of charging the ni.roi.on of the air into a form in which it can be uod by the plants. When clover stubble is plowed under the nltrocen which Is contained in the Stems and roots Is added to the soil and can be used by the following crop. Where the soil is badly lacking in nitrogen and humus It soniot linos pays to plow under the entire crop of clover. The nitrogen which leguminous plants add to the soil Is by no means the only benefit which comes from their use. Nearly all of them have a lone taprwt. which forces Its way down into the soil far below the depth reached by the roots of ordinary crops. Alfalfa roots sometimes go down ns dt-ep as thirty feet or more. Much of the plant food used by the crop is brought up from this lower layer of sqIL and some of it is left In the upHT soil when the roots and stubble decay. The passage of the long roots through the noli also loosens it. and when they decay add to the humus supply. Thus tbe physical condition of the soil is so improved that the more tender roots of such crops as corn can penetrate It readily. Because of these facts corn, potatoes and almost any other crop will prow faster and give a con siderably larger yield on a field whf-h has grown a lepume the year previous. The principal lepumes are alfalfa, clover, cowpeas and soy beans. Al falfa is prown most; successfully west of the Missouri river, altbouph by no means confined entirely to that local- i lty. It requires some care to pet a good stand of alfalfa. It does best on j a shil that is somewhat sandy and j should never be sown on a soil where ' the water table is liable to stand for any length of time within three feet : from the surface. "Wet feet" will kill alfalfa quicker than anything else. j As a general rule the best time to j sow alfalfa is early In the fall.

The advantages of alfalfa over! clover are Its higher feeding value and j greater yields. It can often be cut three or four times in a season, with! vtolri nf f porn nm to ttt-n tons rwr mrtin Alfalfa must nlwnv, h r.,1 i as soon as about one-tenth of the plants are in bloom; otherwise the vitality is weakened nnd the yield of tbe succeeding crops reduced.

One reason why olovor and alfalfa j aro not more popular wish farmers. Is tVe dMicuity of ouri'.:.: the hay. If It is left in ll.o swath until dry enough to put In the mow, the leaves, which are the l.icst valuable part, will Invoice so bristle that many of ther.i will be lost. A Is'ilor way Is to so over the Hold with a side delivery rake as soon as the leaves have wilted a little and ; throw 'the hay together In l.vse wind j rows. Handled In this way, it dries evenly, and the leaves will not fall off . so easily. Hay cured In this way is also less liable to be dusty than when cured by direct exjvsuie to the sun. ; Once In awhile, even with the best of care, some of the bay will bo caught In a misi. A hard rain on clover or al falfa hay washes out much of the tin triinesit which It contains. Such hay ' is hardly worth purling In the barn. ', but may be made go d use of for bed : dins. In this way It Is mixed with : the manure, and the plant food which it contains Is returned" to the soil. I Cowpoas and soy leans arc to the ' southern part of the I nlted Slates what clover and alfalfa are to the northern sections. They are prown more as hay and forage than for the ' pr.iln. These lepumes are also used in some sections of the corn belt as catch , crops. If sown ou early fall plowing. they prevent the soil from washing ; and thus losing much of Its available ' plant food. They may be pastured off r . w . is. rui. xi crrrixu a nrvT growth ALFALFA. OF later or disked up hi the sprinp. They are often sown in cornfields during the last cultivation to keep the weeds down and to add nitrogen to the soil. Ree.nise of the fact that other crops make so much better prowth after the field has prown a legume for a year or so It Is important that a crop of clover or some other legume be prown ncca ! slonally. If a plan of rotation Is ar ; ranged so that tbe fields are regularly j changed from one crop to another, so I much the better. It has been found ! that when any crop Is prown year aft l er year on the same land the yields will t(Wi tht C'rtaln "P requires RTOWS goarcer- and weeds ttDd ln!,ects become more nnmerous. If another kind of P ant f 8"bsn't'!. " elementts,of """ ovulau ui.u. ... iw.13 .a vv eiar eu uui nuu iue cuaii- ed methods of soil treatment will dis courage the weeds. Plants vary greatly in tbelr ability to get food from tbe soil. Such crops as rye and buckwheat are strong feeders and are able to obtain food from a soil 00 whlch m,'re "-'nder plaats would starve. uiiie iiaius uw iiiu.u more humus than others. Crops like com that are cultivated frequently deplete the humus supply rapidly, since tin constant stirring of the soil hastens de cay. Oats, on the other hand, take comparatively little humus from the soil. These differences may be largely equalized by a consistent system of ro tation. In planning rotations the aim should be to so distribute the crops that they will be best adapted to the condition in which the soil was left by the preceding crop. The starting point of every rotation should be clover or some other legume. The length of time that a field should be left In to such a I crop depends largely on local condi tions. In the east, where alfalfa seed to high and the dilT.cuItles of obtaining a stand great, it Is usually wise not to plow up the crop for three or four years. Red clover lives only two years: hence If n.t plowed up the second year the land mut be reseeded. In most eases two yean Is as long as tbe land should be Ifcft to any one crop. Since clover Is grown with small grain the first yetir. this means only one year isi n-lil- !i It will be the sole crop. If the s con I crop of clover to to be plowed under, as to the ease wbeu the soil i considerably lacking in humus, this work had better be done In the fall, so that the mass of preen clover may have lime to decay before the following crop Is planted. If the soli has ln-en properly cared for. however, this green manuring will be unnecessary. As a general rule It to more profitable to food the hay or grass to stock nrd return the manure to the land. In this way from 80 to 00 per cent as much plant food is added ns would have been If the crop had been plowed under, and at the same time the stock has had the bene fit of the extra feed. When only the stubM" Is to lie turned under, the plowing may be done either In late fall er early sprlnz. ,Twas a Glorious Victory. There's rejoicing In Fedorla, Tenn.

Among theui are: Th bill taxing earnings of public service corporations; tho now insurance tax law; the inheritance, tax increase, and the water fran chise tax. Those laws will add about $300,000 to the slate's revenues. Tho session distinguished Itself by doing two notable things: First, in adopting io resolutions promising to submit the questiou of state Iliian cing of railroads to the people, und second, in refusing to make uppro piiations for three normal schools. Much unfavorable commem has been Indulged in over 'he numerous salary grab bills passed, which by the way affect counties and not tho s:ate, but to offset the pettiness of these bills some measures of real importance were passed. Chief among them may be mentioned: Acts for the conservation of re sources, the water code, the game code. Industry switches, abolish ment of compulsory pilotage, and the creation of puns. Two rather unique laws were passed, namely, the bill for sterilization of tho crim inal -Insane and confirmed couvlcts, and providing a penalty of life Im prisonment for highway robbery. Attempts to modify the direct pri mary law, particularly Statement No. 1, and the local option law were defeated. The legislature also re fused to adopt Sunday blue laws, and attempts to take the state in stitutions from Salem were killed.
