IN the world were not real houses of

FARM SOIL BEING
e DEPLETED RAPIDLY
Clover is a Great Restorer ol
Fertility in Run Down
Farm Lands
-" ~

IL ~ QeplOraDle TACT chat the soil
on the average Minnesota farm is be-
ing depleted at a most shameful
rate, says Lucian A. Sweet in Farm,
Stock and Home. Travelling in the
state one finds locality after locality
where the soil is of such a charactr
that the crops grow thereon are GER
tainely not paying for production.
Many soils are still rich in fertility
but.the lands have been so cropped
that the fertility they still contain is
in a locked-up condition. The right
system of farming will keep the
original fertility of the land; this
willzapply to soils that are low in
fertility as we'll as to those that were
very fertile originally.
The question for the Intelligent
farmer to solve is this: How can
I work my land, and what system of
cropping should 1 adopt to keep the
land in high state of fertility?
This Gan only be done by so cropping
the land that crop of grain shall
be raised on every portion of the
land on the farm that is susceptible
of cultivation at least one year in
four. Lands that cannot be cul-
tivated such as sloughy or rough and
stony lands. can be used for per-
manent pasture by giving the soil a
light coat of barn yard manure once
in five or six years; but pastures of
thissskind should not be overstocked
so that animals, especially sheep,
are Obliged to feed close to the
ground, as this will have tendency
to bring on disease of the flock that
may prove disastrous.
Farms on which permanent
pasture is necessary can be worked
in three-years rotation, similar: to
1.-THE following: Corn, small grain,
and seeding to clover. uisng four
quarts of the medium red. one
quart of alsike and one or two quarts
of timothy. This will come on the
first season. and the next season two
crops of nice clover hav can be cut
or cut one earlier for hay. not later
than June Is. in our latitude. and
then let the second crop mature seed,
or use it as pasture for the COWS.
Do not under any consideration
plow under heavy crop of green
clover. as the fermentation that
will be caused from the decay of
such a heavy growth of green clover
NAV start an acidity in the soil that
will be of a great deal of damage to
succeeding crops.
We all know it to be a fact that
growing clover on land enriches the
soil. but how this is done was not
known until modern scientists dis.
covered that in the little nodules OF
bulbs that appear in great numbe'
on the roots of the clover plants
lives little micro-organism known
as a vegetable bacteria, and that the
use or work of this minute organism
is to draw or extract the free nitro
gen from the air (three-fourths of all

ing free nitrogen): this little
bacteria makes free nitrogen from
the air by process that we know
nothing about, works or converts it
over and makes 1t into a nitrate, or
plant food nitrogen. The three pri-
mary elements of plant food are
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
The nitrogen makes the plant grow
large and rank. the phosphoric acid
makes the kernels plump and the
potash, stiffens the straw. In most
cases the greatest loss of the fertility
of the soil is of nitrogen. tho there
is a slight loss each year of potash
and phosphoric acid. 1t is claimed
by those in position to know that
a good stand Of clover thru the
workings of these little organisms in
the roots of the plants. will gather
from the atmosphere and restore to
the soil about 80 to 100 pounds of
plant food nitrogen, which bought
commercially would cost not less
than fifteen dollars. ~
AS far as the nitrogen benefit to
he soil is concerned. an acre of
clover will give to the soil as much
of this material as twelve loads of
stable manure. Glover not only
helps in the way of fertilizing the
soil but it fills the soil with large
quantities of decaying vegetable
matter or humus. that element of
the soil that unlocks the plant foods
of the soil as it decayes and allows
the roots of the plants to absorb
them. thus making the good, thrifty
growth that is so desirable. Also:
soils that are filled with plenty of
organic matter retain the film
moisture much better than soils that
are cold and clammy and devoid of
humus.
These are all material and valuable
features of the clover plant, but it
has another great value, and that is
it's worth as a forage crop for feed
ing all kinds of growing stock and
for the cow giving milk. A ton of
early cut we'll cured clover hay con-
tains 152 pounds of protein. that
quality of the feed that goes largely
to make the cream in cows milk,
and ton of wheat bran contains
only 25o, thus showing only loo
pounds more Of protein in the bran.
and also proving that a ton of this
hay is worth th1ee-ffths as much,
practically, as ton of wheat bran.
Large tracts of land can only hold
their original amount of fertility by
a careful system of farming intro
Quoting clover into short rotation
with other crops.
