SEED PERPLExING FARMERS

The question of seeds and how best to
get the land seeded the past few years
has been one OF great perplexity to far
mers; especially does this truth apply to
clover. In this one seed of late years fail
ure is the rule and good set is the ex-
ception. A reason for these conditions
lies somewhere but where is yet unsoved.
The fertile soil fails to account for the
reason is the general sentiment. Two
other reasons most generally brought for
ward are first, that our land has become
"clover SICK" second, seedsmen perhaps
put seed on the market each year which
has been left unsold in the previous year
markets, therefore. too old to germinate.
Progressive farmers are looking about for
something other than clover in which to
place his money with more confidence.
The Agricultural department may have
solved the difficulty. incidentally it has
come to the writer that this department
has discovered a chemical preparation
which if applied to the soil or seed serves
as an incubation which drives legume
such as Clover alfalfa and podded plants
to take nitrogen from the air instead of
the soil. All farmers know that to get
nitrogen in the soil sufficiently entails
great expense while the air all about US
is laden with it. This discovery and the
results as stated would strike the average
thoughtful reader as fake but it is a
fact the government has been making
tests in small way and will furnish far
mers who will write to the Agricultural
Department for information and instruc-
tions how to test and prove it for himself
will receive very satisfactory reply.
Those who have read the Presidents last
message may lave seen his statement.
that two thousand specialists are en-
ployed by the government. whose duty it
is to make research into all the sciences of
production and that Congress appro-
PIRATES six million annually to carry on
the work. Uncle Sam wont fail you and
it will be comparatively inexpensive to
ask him even for legume to direct you in
obtaining nitrogen from the air in their
growth.
