Nile adds substantially nothing to the
,ertility of the soil. What does? Why,
oerseem, says Mr.. Fairchild. Berseem
not only restores fertility, but it will
grow in the worst of alkaline soil. which
Is II be- true. is a matter of immense i'm
portancc To all parts of the western
uld region. On fields which two years
before were AS barren of vegetation as
L bathing beach" and situated in aka
line basins, he saw cattle and horses
grazing on uNuriant fields of berseem.
Furthermore, clover cannot be compar-
ed with berseem as storer OF nitrogen.
The roots take up such vast quantities
of nitrogen that within three years from
the time land was an alkaline desert on
which nothing (savc, of course berseem)
could grow, splendid crops of cotton were
produced. Still further, this berseem
seems to deprive the soil of its alkaline
constituents, and it is more delicate in
flavor and more succulent than clover
or alfalfa, resembling both. The de-
partment of agriculture further pro-
nounces it one of the most nutritious
and fattening of all green foods. This
does not close the list of its remarkable
properties. 1t has the power to kill out
almost every variety OF weed.
The claims advanced for this wonder
full forage plant are so many and so
great that practical farmers will be very
much inclined TO be skeptical of the
merits of the new plant until they are
convinced by the experiment of some one
else that it is all that is claimed for it.
CHS opportunity will be afforded, for
it is announced that Washington is one
of the states to which quantity of ber
seem seed will be sent for experimental
planting. If the experiment proves sue
cessful. alfalfa will soon be back num-
ber.--Seattle P.-I.

A New Forage Plant.

New theories in agriculture are becom-
ing almost as common as new flying
machines. The latest is about the Won
derful proprieties of berseem. We have
all of us from childhood heard how the
wonderful fertility of the Egyptian soil
is due to the Nile. the annual overflow
of which deposits rich alluvial mud. with
the result that after many centuries of
cultivation crops as large as ever are
grown, and this without any artificial
fertilization. Now comes David G. Fair
child. an expert of the department of
agriculture, and skaters this cherished
tradition. He declares that. the EgyP-
tian soil is so lacking in fertility that
two successive crops of Indian corn can
not be raised off the same field. The

be illuminated by means Of incandes-

game OF whist, which usually took them
from two and q half to three minutes.
