The Legumes Not Yet Appreciated.

The Legumes Not Yet Appreciated.
Messrs. Editors: Our interest in
the legumes and the acreage in them
is enlarged in proportion to the new
facts given to us by scientific inves-
tigators pertaining to their values as
farm crops and soil improvers.
The feeding value Of hay from the
legumes ranks very much higher
than that from the grasses. They
are richer in protein which bears
about the same relation to hay that
nitrogen does to fertilizers. A ton
of we'll cured legume hay is often
worth as much for feed as q ton OF
wheat bran. With this knowledge
Of their high feeding values and the
fact that on good land we can grow
two or more tons per acre, it Is not
at all strange that our farmers are
becoming more interested in them.
Moreover, when we consider their
value as soil improvers by the addi-
ton to the soil of the free nitrogen
| taken from the air by the bacteria on
their roots. the advantages of the
deep penetration of their roots, thus
facilitating drainage and aeration of
the soil by which inert plant food is
quickened and made available, the
large quantities of humus added
which give life to the soil, and the
results in the crops that follow, the
strange thing is that our interest in
these crops is not even greater than
we have yet manifested.
The following table gives us an
idea Of their fertilizer value, a ton
Of the dry hay containing pounds of
plant food as follows:

growth. TO understand these we
must first fix in our mind the simple.
nut all-improtant fact, that plants OBJ
tain their foods taken from the soil.
In solution only. To this fact we
must then add two others % that
water, the great universal solvent. is
the means by which plant foods are
dissolved in the soil and carried into
the plants, and CD that the more
ninety pulverized a substance is the
more readily it is dissolved. To appre-
ciate this last fact we must realize
that any given mass or particle of
soil is affected or operated upon only
on Its outer surface, which is ex-
posed to the soil water, and that If
this mass be broken up into a large
number of pieces. the outer surfaces
OF all these exposed to the action of

2. Aerates the soil.
3. Hastens chemical changes, set
ting free plant foods.
4. Brings about conditions more
favorable to the life of those germs
which render plant foods available
and less favorable to those germs
which tend to lock up plant foods so
that plants cannot use them.
5. Increases the water-holding
power of the soil.
6. Saves moisture by lessening
loss by evaporation.
Z. Affects the temperature of the
soil.
s. Serves to incorporate organic
matter with the soil and hasten it's
decay.
8. Destroys weeds.
Too frequently the Southern
farmer seems to look upon tillage
solely as a means Of killing weeds,
but in the foregoing statement of the
effects OF tillage it will be readily
seen that it serves many other very
important purposes.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-04-30

the water will be very much larger
than the outer surface of the original
mass or clod. For instance, mass
or cube 2 inches on each side pre-
sents "a square inches of surface;
but III this same mass be divided
once in each direction, or pieces
formed, the outer surfaces OF these
eight pieces will present As square
inches, or double the soil surface, to
the action OF the water. The increase
OF matter exposed to the action Of
water, air and other influences, caus-
ed by the breaking down of soil
masses, is enormous and seems al
most unbelievable TO one who has not
stopped TO study the subject care
fully. 1t must also be remembered
that in finely pulverized soil we
have the most favorable conditions
for the operation of many other nat
ural forces favorable to plant
growth. The larger the number OF
soil particles, the larger the number
OF small spaces between the soil par
ticles. These permit the entrance Of
air and water more freely, make it
possible for the small root hairs Of
the roots of plants to permeate all
parts of the soil, aid chemical
changes and favor psychological &C
ton by making a more favorable
place for the multiplication, growth
and activity of these microscopic,

What Tillage Does.


What Tillage Does.
Tillage as practiced may be gen.
eral, as breaking and narrowing be-
fore the crop is planted; or that
which covers only a part of the
ground, as between fruit trees or
between rows of corn or cotton, and
is called inter-tillage.
We also speak of tillage as deep
or shallow. If blowing or breaking
is in mind, deep tillage would be
that, say 5 inches or deeper; while
shallow tillage in such cases would
be less than inches. In speaking
of inter-tillage anything deeper than
" or inches would be regarded
as deep, while shallow tillage would
be less than this depth. Shallow or
deep tillage, therefore, is a relative
term and of no definite significance.
The effects of tillage may be
briefly stated as follows, and in sub
sequent articles on this subject we
shall discuss each more fully:
L. Increases the feeding ground
for plant roots.

From this table it will be seen
that the legume hays contain more
nitrogen per ton, the most OF which
is taken from the air, than does an
S-2-2 fertilizer. The idea OF taking
this valuable fertilizer element from
the air instead of purchasing it at
20 cents per pound in commercial
fertilizers appeals to our progressive
farmers and why should 1t not?

There are many natural forces at
work. however. which tend to pro-
duce the same results aimed at by
the farmer in his artificial or me
chanical operations on the soil which
We group under the term, tillage
These natural forces are not tillage,
but simple statement of some OF
them will serve TO improve our un-
Outstanding OF the effects OF tillage.
/. The freezing of the water In
the soil. by the expansion which
takes place when water freezes, tends
to force apart and break down mass
es of soil particles which have be-
come glued together to form COM
pact masses or clods. The Southern
farmer largely misses this great nat
ural aid as compared with It's force
In assisting Northern farmers to
maintain properly pulyerized soils.
2. Air and water. and the oxygen
and earbonic acid gas which they con-
tain. are also natures soil builders,
which means that they tend to dis
solve. change. and break down,
coarser soil particles and vegetable
matter In the soil. into smaller par
ticles and simpler forms, SO that
plants may use the materials which
they contain.
}. Burrowing animals. like the
earth worm. for instance. also work
over and pierce the soil and allow
air and water to enter. giving these
an opportunity TO exert their forces
for the aid of the farmer in chang
ing and pulverixing soil masses and
particles.
1. The roots of plants also exert
tremendous force in breaking apart
soil masses and dissolving plant
foods. Extreme examples of the dis
integratlng force of plants are often
seen In the moving and separating
of large rocks by the roots OF trees
and the penetration of seeds and
tubers by such plants as quack and
uutgrass. The writer has seen quack
grass grow through the Irish potato
and nutgrass grow through a large
bean. With the roots of plants fill
ing the soil the force of each may be
small. but the aggregate effect of
millions OF them In pulverixing the
soil is tremendous. The large and
deep penetrating roots OF some of
the legumes. like alfalfa and cow
peas are good illustrations OF this
class of natures aids TO the farmer.
Why Tiliage Is Necessary.
These are natures methods OF soil
building, for in these and other ways
soils have been formed from rocks
aud vegetable matter. These are
also natures methods OF keeping the
soil In condition for the growth OF
plants: but they are too slow and
inefficient To maintain the soil In
suitable condition for the best
growth OF the cultivated crops OF man.
The farm plants that used TO feed
and clothe man and his servants
have been developed TO greater value
and productiveness by the artificial
help OF man, through tillage and
other means: and TO maintain and
Increase the value and yield OF these
crops, tillage by the farmer must be
added To the forces OF nature in
keeping the soil in the most favor
able condition for their best growth.
