Spoiled Legume Hay
Valuable Fertilizer
Legume hay, such as alfalfa and
clover, that has been spoiled by the
recent rains may be salvaged for use
as fertilizer, says Dr. W. L. Powers,
chief of the soils department at Ore
gon State college. He points out that
a ton of alfalfa contains about 40
pounds of nitrogen, which in fer
tilizer, would cost as much as 10c a
pound. It also contains about 25
pounds of potassium and 7 pounds
of phosphorus.
This spoiled legume hay makes a
valuable mulch, checking evapora
tion and loss of soil moisture, and
because of its favorable nitrogen
content for decomposition, does not
depress growth, Dr. Powers says.
When applied in orchards at the
rate of two tons of dry material per
acre it will also earn soil conserva
tion payments under the 1937 soil
conservation program. It is best to
remove the spoiled crop from the
fields pomptly, he says, and if it is
not applied immediately to place it
in ricks for later use as fertilizer.
SPEED STILL GREATEST RISK
Excessive speed again leads the
list of causes of automobile fatalities

Motor association. Drivers flouting
the speed laws last month' here pre-
cipitated 574 accidents, four deaths.
