In Western South Dakota the north
fork Of the Cheyenne river has co. y
cradle food discharge and is subject to
sudden rises caused by rains. II the
floods could be impounded all the agri-
cultural land along it's course could be
tunity for storage. Possibly 20. coo
acres could be reclaimed on both sides
Of the river with reservoirs of sufficient
capacity. Only one reservoir was
found, on Pass creek. above the Bur
lington railroad. Those on Dry creek
and Moss agate creek are of small ca
pacity.
Lower on the south fork of the Chev-
enna, 10000 acres OF bench land might
be reclaimed by a dam seventy feet
high, covering about 1000 acres and
backing the river up seven or eight
miles. 1t Is a good site, and with
plenty OF sandstone in sight, but the
cost would probably be excessive.
In the western part of the state two
possible reservoir sites were found on
French creek. which would water
about IS, 900 acres of land. On Battle
creek there Is one. three miles west OF
Hermosa, under which there are about
10000 acres Of land In private owner

600 acres OF land. One above Rapid, on

formed at depth of from five to ten
inches through irrigation and constant
blowing at the same depth will be-
come woody and difficult to work at
the factory.
This hardpan should be broken up
so that the root may easily penetrate
this stratum. To do this effe ctually
the blowing should be done to depth
of eight or nine inches lower. A per-
feet mechanical breaking up, both of
the soil and the subsoil, is certainly
to be advised since it is only in such
conditions that the food material
stored up in the soil can be made
available by the influence of air, mois-
ture and heat and taken up by the
delicate and sensitive rootlets. Deep
blowing keeps the winter moisture and
thus equalizes dry and wet periods.
The temperature is much more uni
form in all layers and the air and
moisture are admitted uniformly and
more freely. While deep blowing is
expensive, the results obtained at the
Utah experiment station where this
method has been tried for some years
has shown conclusively that the ex-
ira expense involved is more than COM
pensated by the extra yields and the
superior beets.

The Physical Effects of Humus.

Recent experiments in the study of
the effects of humus on soils have
yielded some important results. If one
examine clay or loamy soil that is in
good physical condition it will be
found to be loose and quite granular
to the frost line. Upon the granula-
ton depends almost wholly all it's de-
sirable physical properties, as absorb
ton, retention of moisture, drainage,
etc. Every farmer knows that If
soil has been puddled when too wet,
it becomes lumpy and hard, and
that about the only way to restore it
to it's normal condition is by freez-
ing.
The experiment referred to above
was as follows: Two identical sam
pies of soil were taken from the same
field. From one the humus was ex-
tracted. The two were then wet and
stirred, and when dried both were
hard and lumpy. They were then
frozen. When thawed the one retain
ing it's humus became loose and granu-
lar, the one from which the humus had
been taken remained hard and clOddy.
The humus that had been taken from
it was then returned and thoroughly
incorporated. 1t was then wet and
stirred, and again dried in Jumps, but
after freezing it became granular and
in perfect health.

PIowinq for Sugar Beets.

Not all of our sugar beet farmers
practice fall blowing for the beet crop
but more of them will take it up
within the next decade or so. The
alternate freezing and thawing OF the
winter season is no doubt beneficial
to fall plowed soils as these changes
alter the texture of the ground, max
ing it finer and more mellow. Fall
blowing also has tendency to make
an abundance of plant food available
at or near the surface to give the
young beet plants a vigorous start.
Where beets follow beets it is i'm
portant that the land should be plowed
as quickly as possible after the crop
is removed as by blowing the mois-
ture retained by the shading of the
leaves of the preceding crop is uti-
lized.
If not plowed at once the moisture
will be rapidly evaporated as soon
as the surface layer is uncovered.
After blowing the surface should be
left rough and uneven during the Win
ter as by this means the absorption
is facilitated. Deep blowing is abso-
lutely necessary in sugar beet grow
ing because the beet requires soil
that has been loosened to a great
depth and well mixed so that the beet
may at any period of it's growth OBJ
tain the necessary nourishment. 1t
is essential too that the roots of plants
have air in order that the proper food
may be prepared. Deep blowing en-
ables the air to penetrate the lower
layers of the soil and thus aids the
plant indirectly in securing food. A

incubation for Leeumious Plants.


The following communication has
been received from Byron Hunter, as.
sistant agrostologist of the department
of agriculture:
Through your valuable paper we
desire to call the attention of those
interested in growing legumes to the
fact that the U. S. department of
agriculture will distribute, during the
spring of 1894 only, nitrogen-fxing or
ganisms for common legumes, such
as peas, clover, alfalfa, vetch, etc. AS
a general rule, the quantity sent to
each applicant will be sufficient to in
oculate a little more than a bushel
of seed for which the material is de-
sired. If the applicant desires to in
oculate larger quantity of seed, in
formation will be furnished that will
enable him to grow the material for
himself Full directions accompany
each package.
ITO secure this material it is neces-
sary to apply to DR.. A. F. Woods, Bu-
reau of Plant Industry, Washington, D.
c., stating what legumes you expect
to grow, the amount of seed you de-
sire to inoculate and the approximate
date of planting, that the seed may
reach you in the best possible cond1-
tion This is necessary, as it is ar
ranged to inoculate only at or before
the time of planting. Applications for
this material should be made several
weeks before the date of seeding.
"The value of leguminOus plants as
soil renovators has long been recog-
nized. Their superior value in this
respect is due to the fact that, with
the proper bacteria in the soil, they
are able tc use atmospheric nitrogen.
When the proper bacteria are in the
soil nodules or tubercles form on the
roots of these plants. The absence OF
nodules on the roots of these plants
indicates the absence of these nitro
gen-fxing bacteria and incubation is
then necessary.
"Soils that have never grown legum-
inous crops frequently lack these or
ganisms. 1t is almost certain that
large portion of the wheat land of the
state lacks the bacteria for clover and
alfalfa, and those interested in grow
ing these crops will do well to take
advantage of the free distribution OF
this material"

British Columbia Farmers Institute.

The Central Farmers Institute, of
British Columbia, held an interesting
session at Victoria the first week in
the month and large attendance was
present. Numerous subjects of vital
importance were discussed. One of
them related to the running at large
of scrub bulls east of the Cascade
range. 1t was the sense of the insti-
tute that nothing but pure-bred and
registered stock (bulls) be allowed to
run at large east of the Cascade
range" Other subjects considered
were matters in connection with the
establishment of an agricultural col
lege in British Columbia; the act re-
lating to shooting game in the prov
ince; examination of men who used
engines in the province; adulterated
jams; irrigation for British Columbia,
etc.
