Growing of Alfalfa In the Wheat Belt Will Do Much to Maintain the Fertility of the Soil and Stim ulate Live Stock and Dairy ing Interests. There is no one thing that will do more to build up and permanently maintain the agriculture of the Pacifio jNorthwest than tho introduction of alfalfa, as a general farm crop. Alfalfa greatly improves the fertil ity and mechanical condition of the soil. Not only does It enrich the soil, but It yields an abundance of the best possible feed for all kinds of farm ani mals. More hay means more live stock, and etock growing points to better farms and a more prosperous agricultural condition. Continuous cropping of wheat, oats, corn or other non-Iegumlnous crops from year to year without a proper rotation will so exhaust the soil that yields will be reduced to less than half; rust and other diseases will fol low: Insects appear, and It will be necessary to grow other crops upon LEXINGTON IJEMS. Some more rain and we can certain ly stand it fcr it is badly needed. Gordoon journey to mouth. MoAffie Oklahoma commenced a the Grst of the E3 Ea megm3 3 3 Bsnsxmm set the fields which have produced so abundantly. Before this condition takes place It may be well to consider the growing of alfalfa upon the over-wheated farms of that great region known as the In land Empire. Alfalfa should be grown upon every farm in this great region Alfalfa is a profitable crop it in creases farm values and excels every other crop in yield per acre, In feed ing value, as a drought reelster, and as a soil enricher. It is now being profitably grown In many sections of the Pacific Northwest. The college experiment station reports a total av erage of over 2 tons per acre, but the yields reported by the farmers av erage nearly 3V& tons per acre. Experiments conducted upon the college farms and results obtained by alfalfa growers under ordinary farm conditions prove conclusively that pay ing crops can be obtained wherever wheat and other grain crops are grown. Wheat yields of Idaho, Wash ington and Oregon will be Increased over 30 per cent, when crops are grown upon alfalfa sod. This fact is substantiated by many experiments conducted in nearly every agricultural state In the United State. a., i- Corner of Ten-Acre Cornfield, Farm of E. C.

ALFALFA IN THE NORTHWEST The fertility of any soil Is measured by the amount of plant food it contains. Continuous cropping, without return ing to the soil these vital elements thus removed, reduces In time to the danger point its power to produce in uantlties which make farming profit able. Prof. George Severance in commenting on the growing of wheat In the PalouBe county, says that with continuous wheat culture our wheat soils are gradually becoming depleted In humus and nitrogen. This is shown by the lighter yellow color aud more slender grgwth of grain and the greater tendency of the soils to wash and "run together" and bake when dry. Experience has shown that thi lack of proper crop rotation takes out the supply of nitrogen more easily than any other element of fertility. Nitro gen being high priced, it is not advis able to buy it on the market. Fortu nately this Is not necessary as by growing some leguminous crop it may be stored up In the plant and returned to the surface soil. Of all the legu minous crops alfalfa stands highest In the quantity produced on an acre aud also highest in digestible protein on absolutely necessary form of animal food. There Is no question about the possibility of growing alfalfa in the northwest. Prof. Alfred Atkinson of the Mon tana Agricultural college believes that the success attained by those who have grown it In the past. Indi cates the Important place which al falfa will hold In Montana's agricul ture. Under irrigation It returns very large yields, and on the dry farm it la one of the most promising forage and soil-Improving crops. As a drought reelster and a soil en richer alfalfa stands easily at the head of the leguminous crops. Its wonderful root system extending as It does deep into lower soil goos beyond the danger point of the moisture sup ply, and reaches valuable plant food not found by other farm plants. By means of nitrogen gathering bac teria this plant is able to store up the free nitrogen of the air and make It available for the use of all forms pf plant life. j Remember the three days races come off at Lexington this week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
