MILLIONS OF GERMS
IMPORTED TO GROW
ALFALFA N MISSOURI

Alfalfa. and ether legumes. such as
the various cioFers and COW peas.
win not grow ia soil unless Il Is filled
with millions Of alfalfa bacteria. For
this reason. the farmers Of Missouri
are now importing soil bacteria TO
aid in the growth OF alfalfa.
The best and safest method OF in
o~cuiating the soil with these bacterks
Is that introduced by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Bacteria are taken from the roo
noduIes Of healthy alfalfa plants. fed
and raised in incuhators until they
have formed large masses, called
cultures. These cultures, which are
raised In the labratories Of the una.
ed States Department OF Agriculture.
are sen to all farmers ordering then
The bacteria Of the cultures are de
veaoped In warm water solution
which is sprinkled over the seeds OF
mixed with small amoaR.s Of soil
and drilled IN the field which Is TO b
lnoculated. Often lime Is used he
fore incubation to sweden the soil
Tor a sour soil prevents the growth
Of nodule forming bacteria.
The value Of beth incubation and
the use Of lime in the soil was
shown by an experiment made in the
spring OF 1903 by the Missouri Agri
cultural experiment station at Co
lumbia- -Four plots were sown will
alfalfa each with a different treat
ment. Plot ! was sown without treai
ment; plot 2. with inoculated seed;
the third ploe was sown with inoeuhi
ed seed and one ton Of lime per acre
and the last with inoculated soil and
one ton Of lime per acre.
In May OF 1904, these plots of spi'
gave the following yields q hay
not perfectly cured: Plot 1. 1901
pounds an acre; plot 2 yielded 209s
an acre; the third gave $500
lbs. an acre; and the last had 41ot
lbs. an acre.

MOVE TO BRING
FARM LABOR TO
COUNTRY PLANNED
washlngton. Nov. Z.

'HNShs ANoNs
The perplexing problem confronting
the American farmer which is offered
BY the growing scarcity Of efficient
arm labor may be at least partly
solved by President Taft's decision to
urge a plan for a better distribution
If immigrants.
Government experts say the insult
fieient supply of laborers on the
faIms is the cause of a retarded de-
yelopment of agricultural resources.
and rs one Of the most important fac
tors in the high cost Of living prob
lem. The statement has been made
mat unless labor conditions on the
farms are righted the price Of arti-
eies both on the rich mans table
snC in the workingman's dinner pail
will Increase 20 to 80 per cent in the
lex' ten years.
More Labor or Higher Food.
Secretary Wilson's best trained and
Eost practical agriculturists point out
that the problem of getting enough
food TO supply the rapidly inereas
ing population of the United States
depends for solution ON increasing tn
average yield of land per acre. This
means more intensive agriculture.
with wise fertilization, and the in
creased work will naturally bring
about a much greater demand for
good farm help. The supply Of native
farm Iaborers to-day does not equal
the demand. due to the influx of the
ycans men to the large cities.
The character of the European inn
migrants is predominantly argicultur-
al su, they land al or two ports
and remain in the crowded cities
where they can find neither good
food, good homes nor profitable EN-.
ployment when the farmers of the
country are calling for their much
needed services. The Presidents
idea rs to defect the immigrant
ships 10 South Atlantic and gulf ports
from which they may be distributed
throughout The farming districts.
ImmigFai on experts say that the
one ISOLATION OF the immigration prob
lem eepends upon the distribution OF
these Immigrants. Failure to assist
the land-ti!l,ng Europeans IN finding
their natural place on the farms robs
the immigrants Of the opportunity TO
get a home and profitable employ
ment. and loses for this country the
services of many Of the worlds best
trained food producers.
Italians Successful on Farms.
Italians, for instance, who have had
a chance t become farmers in the
United States have met with much
success. This has been shown by
the colony Of four hundred families Of
frdit growers owning their own homes
at South Glastonbury. Conn, and the
colony which has developed more
than 1000 acres of land near
rontitown. in Northwestern Arkan-
sag.
The success of the Europeans at
these colonies and dozens of other
places where like progress is being
made, is serving as a guide for the
work Of this government through
the division Of information of the bu-
reau of immigration in placing the
newcomers where their services are
most needed.
