drawing on It forever without punlug

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

clover are Its higher feeding value and j
greater yields. It can often be cut

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

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

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

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

j Throe or four revenue producing
measures wore passed, how over.
which, will partially onset the In

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.
