"Lime, Legumes, Livestock Stfll Regarded as Standard Rule of Keeping Soil Fertile By -B, T.. STJTPHENSON Associate Prof esaor of Soils, Oregon State College "lime, legumes, and livestock"' is an old alogan that has been handed flewn btlx by word of mouth aiul ta written form as the ese,nce of sell fertility mainten ance. Line is mphastzed large ly because It Is neceeaary for con ttaued "successful production of legumes, i'rom th. soil fertility point of view; livestock are for the.ure ef ensumiag the legumes d ether feed to con vert then Ho manure which may be returned -to the-lnd. Thus the legume becomes the "key" of Hhls. old slogan, which stands for erm-aneace of soil fertility. As aoHs become older aad -the fertittty xnero depleted, the need fcecemes -more argent to resort to ;the--grerhrg of legumes to restore -the reduced productiv ity.

It is the nitrogen fixing power of legumes -which has made them renowned as soil improvers. The supply of nitrogen -in the air is inexhaustible, (nearly 80 percent of ail air ts nitrogen) and the bacteria of legume plants, make no charge for "bringing down tha air nitrogen and changing it into a form that may "be utilized to grow .ereps.- But in -aplte of their great val ue as soil builders, and their util ity value as feed for livestock, tho acreage of legumes in Ore gon is not as large as might be. .suaiaies place production at seven or eight acres of legumes ror each hundred acres of im proved land. Tbis rate of produc tion is -not .sufficient to maintain tne sou nitrogen and organic matter. To fully maintain the suddIv -of nitrogen in the soil would re quire a legume crop once each two to -f onr years. Legumes and especially clovers, fit well into a rotation. The greater portion ot tne clover -grown in tho valley 18 seeuea early in the snrine in wheat. The neit season the clo ver furnishes one hay crop and a seed crop. Tho seed crop may reasonably return .25 ier-acre, and the threshed- clover straw contains 40 pounds of nitrogen per ton. worthy at commercial prices something tike $6.00 when spread on the land for -fertilizer: Clover Is -oerhaps the most ffrac- tlcal legume for general produc tion in the Willamette valley. ' Better' Rotated Legumes not only fit well Into crop rotation but nearly all le gumes do better -when rotated vwtw uaaauy -runs out" in n couplo of rears and needs to be plowed : up. -fer some other crop. Even arfalTa which sometime, prodnces veenderfTri yields for years wder favorable conditions is usually -better 1f plowed up at certain tatorraU. In the older countries atfalfa la often not al lowed to stand more than three years. Alfalfa is well suited to farm a part of a regular rotation of crops when not allowed to stand too long. The greatest soil improvement results when the stubble and residue or part of the top growth is flowed under often. Thero Is probably not much further accumulation of ni trogen and fauni.ua in the aoil af ter alfalfa has stood for three years. Tho truck 'farmer and the fruit grower, however, do "not grow much clover. His need la for something that can be seeded in the fall to plow under In- the spring as a green manure. Vetch seeded : with oats or barley has long been successfully used for this purpose. "Recently tho farm crops department is recommend ing Austrian field peas as a crop well worthy of a trlaL . The legume cover crop torn am The legume cover crop to main tain orchard soils is especially desirable, sines nitrogen and! or ganic matter more than mineral fertilizer is necessary for success ful fruit production. The legume as a green manure la tho most satisfactory substitute for farm manure, which is scarce tmt al ways highly valued. The cheapest humus! available to tho fruit grower, at the present time is that obtained by green manuring. Good Organic Fertilizer When mineral fertilizer Is used as Is a common practice la grow ing many crops, a legume plowed under as a green manure is very helpful in increasing the effi-J ciency of the f ertilizer. Mineral fertilizers are not substitutes for organic- matter and are not ef fective j unless organic matter and nitrogen are maintained. KoH even a nitrogen fertilizer Is a satisfactory substitute for soil huiuus.j ' ) Legumes not only renew the organic! matter, but they are very effective in improving the physi cal condition of tho soil. Some of the legumes such as clover and alfalfa are deeper rooted than any of tho commonly grown farm crops. The root development is also profuse about equivalent to the top growth. This enormous underground growth permeates.

Bnt nature has been generous In providing legumes adapted to almost every type of soil and to any degree of Infertilfty. ) Sweet clover will grow on almost any soil if lima is present. Most le gumes -are- helped by the use of lime on poor acid soils. Tho us ual .practice In Oregon Is to use from on to two tons of -ground limestone per aero according to the degTee of acidity. Tha llmoJ should be well mixed with tha soli. - - Lime Drilled In Soma recent demonstrations in tha east .bar indicated that a much -smaller application of lima! -will insnre a stand of clover ifi the lime is drilled with tho seed at tho tttna of -aoedtag. By drill ing tha lime and seed together, tho sell ta neutralized near tha young plant, and tha new seed ing Is able to. get a good start. Oaco started tho clover or alfalfa 1 is able to eare for itself, aven though only -a amall volume ot aoll is neutralised. Using this method, Missouri farmers have -been able ft -grow -as good, clover with a few hundred pounds of lime as when mora than two tons of limestone wers broadcasted and mixed with tha soil in tha usual way. This method of seed? J iiiff requires machinery especially aaapiea ior tne purpose, but la worthy of trial wherever clover falls without lima. Clever and other legumes are quite responsive to applications of phosphate fertilizers also. Whoa clover in seeded in grain which has been fertilised there fs a "carry over" of the fertil izer to tho clover crop which is very helpful to the clover. The phosphate is especially helpful in stimulating root development of the young clover, and thereby strengthens the new growth in its struggle through tho drought of summer. Indirectly tho phos phate helps tha clover in another way. Phosph&ted , grain ripens earlier and is removed from competition with tha clover sooner. Tha -difference la the data of. harvest for tha fertilized grain may amount to as much as f-a week or ten days. Benefit to Soil Any legume that can be grown successfully "benefits fha aoil.
