One reason why clover and alfalfa
are not more popular with farmers Is
the difficulty Of curing the hay. 1t Ii

put in the NOW, the leaves, which are
the most valuable part, will become
so brittle that many of them will be
lost. A better way is to go over the
field with side delivery rake as soon
as the leaves have wilted a little and
throw the hay together in loose wind
rows. Handled in this way, it dries
evenly, and the leaves will not fall Off
so easily. Hay cured in this way is
also less liable to be dusty than when
cured by direct exposure to the sun
Once in awhile, even with the best OF
care, some of the hay will be caught il
a rain. A hard rain on clover or al
falfa hay washes out much of the nu
triment which it contains. Such hay
is hardly worth putting in the barn
but may be made good use of fer bed
ding. In this way it is mixed will

it contains is returned to the soil.
Cowpeas and soy beans are to the
southern part Of the United States
what clover and alfalfa are to The
northern sections. They are grow
more as hay and forage than for thu
grain These legumes are also used II
some sections of the corn belt as catcl

later OF disked up in the spring. They
are often sown in cornfields during the
last cultivation to keep the weeds
down and to add nitrogen to the soil.
Because of the fact that other crops
make so much better growth after the
field has grown a legume for year or
so it is important that crop Of clover
or some other legume be grown occa-
sionally. If plan of rotation is ar
ranged so that the fields are regularly
changed from one crop to another, so
much the better. 1t has been found
that when any crop is grown year aft
err wear on the same land the yields will
grow less. The particular kinds Of
food that certain crop requires grows
scarcer, and weeds and insects become
more numerous If another kind OF
plant is substituted, other elements of
plant food will be drawn upon, the in
sects will be starved out and the chang
ed methods of soil treatment will dis
courage the weeds.
Plants vary greatly in their. ability to
rye and buckwheat are strong feeders
and are able to obtain food from a soil
on which more tender plants would
starve Some plants use much more
humus than others. Crops like corn
that are cultivated frequently depete
the humus supply rapidly, since the
| constant stirring Of the soil haStens de-
cay Oats, on the other hand, take
comparatively little humus from the
| soil
These differences may be largely
| equalized by a consistent system of 70
| tation. In planning rotations the aim
| should be to so distribute the crops
that they will be best adapted to the
| condition in which the soil was left by
the preceding crop The starting point
of every rotation should be clover or
some other legume. The length Of time
that field should be left in to such a
crop depends largely on local condi-
tons. In the east. where alfalfa seed
is high and the difficulties of obtaining
plow up the crop for three or four
years. Red clover lives only two years
hence if not plowed up the second year
the land must be reseeded. In most
cases two years is as long as the land
should be left to any one crop.
Since clover is grown with small
grain the first year. this means only
one year in which it will be the sole
crop If the second crop of clover is
to be plowed under, as is the case
when the soil is considerably lacking
in humus, this work had better be
done in the fall, so that the mass OF
green clover may have time to decay
before the following crop is planted
If the soil has been properly cared for
however. this green manuring will be
unnecessary. AS general rule 1t is
more profitable to feed the hay OF
grass to stock and return the manure
to the land. In this way from 80 t.
80 per cent as much plant food i:
added as would have been If the crov
had been plowed under. and at thu
same time the stock has had the bene
fit of the extra feed. When only tn

THE DEAR BOY

Here is the way the papers will
write up weddings ten years hence:
The bride looked well in a travel
ing dress, but all eyes were center
ed upon the groom. He wore dark
suit that fitted his form perfectly
and in his dainty gloved hands he
carried small rose. His curly hair
was beautifully done, and delicate
odor of hair oil of the best quality
fioated down the aisle as he passed.
The young people will miss him now
that he is married. He is loved by
all for his many accomplishments,
his tender grace and his winning
ways. The bride commands good
salary as bookkeeper and the groom
will miss none of the luxuries to
which he has been accustomed. A
crowd of pretty men saw him off at
the depot.

SHOULD KNOW BETTER

After division one year hence
Graham will be solidly democratic
and Greenlee, the new county, will
be solidly republican. Almost any
way you figure it the republicans
have gained a county. And the
bill was passed by a democratic
legislature. Silver Belt.
If the editorial pencil pusher of
the Belt don't know any more OF
the politics of Gila county than ne
does of the politics of the new
county of Greenlee, we would ad-
wise him to get his ear closer to the
ground.
He is right when he says Graham
will be democratic; wrong when he
says Greenlee will be republican.
And still further wrong when he at
temps to cast unfavorable refec-
tions upon the democratic legisla-
lature for creating the new county.
The Belt must remember that the
vote, previously controlled through
corrupt means, has practically been
eliminated from the ballot box
through Hampton's educational
qualification bill, one of the best
measures ever enacted into law.
No two or three men will be able to
control an election with this law in
force.
Greenlee county will be as solidly
democratic as will Graham. We
trust that this information will not
be disappointing to the Belt.
