ALFALFA A VALUABLE CROP
BY Flowing Under a Crop a Great
Amount Of Nitrogen Is Added
to the Soil.

Nitrogen is found in abundance in
the air. but ordinary crops cannot
take it up and utilize it in its gaseous
form. The so-called nitrogen-fxing
bacteria which are found in the nod
ules on alfalfa roots take up atmos-
pheric nitrogen and elaborate it into
heterogeneous compounds (protein)
in the leaves and stems Of the alfalfa
plant. 1t is this protein which makes
alfalfa such valuable forage. The
root growth of the plant and the de-
cay and renewal of tubercles on the
root enrich the soil with nitrogen.
Leaves dropping OF also add some.
By blowing under crop Of alfalfa a
still greater amount of nitrogen is
added to the soil. In these various
ways alfalfa enriches the soil.
Were 1t not for the fact that the
cultivation of alfalfa and other leg
umes add nitrogen to the soil we
should, in addition to the utilization of
all stable manure, be obliged to pur.
chase expensive commercial nitrogen
such as nitrate Of soda and guano and
apply them to the land.
To supply the deficiency of nitrogen
is imperative on our new land, as
there is no cheaper or more practic-
able way of making our soil fertile on
any considerable scale. The various
field crops yield nearly II not twice
as much after alfalfa has occupied
the land as before. A crop of alfalfa
turned under is worth ten tons OF
sugar beets per acre.

PRINCIPLE OF DRY FARMING
That Of Conserving Every Particle Of
Moisture That Falls During the
Entire Season.

The principle of dry farming Is that
of conserving every particle of moist
ure that falls during the year. not
in large reservoirs or behind expen-
sive concrete dams, but in the soil it.
self. year before crop is to be
planted, the land is plowed deeply with
special machinery. Strong disk plows
not only pulverize the subsoil, but
pack it into firm bed through which
the water may not sink. and through
which the excessive alkali that usu-
ally lies four or five feet below the sur
lace, may not rise by evaporation to
burn and blight vegetation.
On top of this subsoil. the surface
SOIL Is pulverized by specially con-
structed machinery to such a degree
OF fineness that it appears to have
been powdered between the fingers.
lhis overcoat of dust makes mulch
through which rain and melted snow
may percolate to rest on the packed
subsoil beneath. but through which
little moisture can rise. This mulch
defeats the natural process of capil-
larry evaporation and prevents the
great waste of water occasioned in or.
binary agriculture.
After the soil is prepared, then spe.
cal care must be given to the vari.
eues OF grains to be planted. The
early pioneers who attempted agri-
cultural operations in the semi.arid
portions OF the great plains failed COM
pletely in places which are now con.
sldered to be excellent agricultural
lands One of the reasons was that
they sowed wheat which had been
grown in the humid regions of the Mis-.
slsslppf valley. and which was of a
variety requiring a great deal of moist
ure. Within the last few years the
research of agricultural experts into
all parts OF the world resulted in ex.
per1ments being made with grains pro.
duced in comparatively dry regions.
The grains brought from Siberia have
been found to be especially adapted to
dry farming operations.

REAL DRY FARMING RESULTS
In semi-Arid Regions Everything That
Cannot Be irrigated Is Placed
in That Category.

one OF the greatest drawbacks, if
not menaces to getting at actual
facts and results in real dry farming
Is the seeming determination of all
the people in the semi-arid, and even
slightly dry sections of our country
to designate everything not grown by
irrigation as being grown by dry
farming"
There are spots in Montana, Idaho
and Washington. for instance, and a
good many of them in western Dakota
where many seasons the rainfall fs
ample-some times SO ample as to be
detrimental-for maturing crops not
only without irrigation, but without
any special attention to conserving the
moisture by special tillage or other.
wise. Crops grown on such lands at
such times are now almost invariably
referred to as dry farming" products
In conversation with William Buckley.
horticultural inspector for the Occur
d'Alene district of that state. we
were told that the word Dry Farm
ing" above his exhibits at the Seattle
exposition, more than half the fruit
and vegetables under his charge, was
simply used to designate all crops
grown without irrigation. At the same
time Mr.. Buckley claimed, and truth
fully without doubt, that where most
OF these so-called dry farming prod
ucts grew, the present year, and near.
~ all other years there was and is
ample rainfall to mature crops without
any special attention to tillage for that
purpose.

TAKE CENSUS OF IRRIGATION
II Will Give Only the Acreage and
Yield of Crops and Total irri.
gated Area.

Washington Census Director Dur
| and has given out statement to cor
rect what he designated as an erro-
neous report as to the data which the
| census bureau will collect relative to
irrigation. Mr.. Durand said that it
| has been reported that facts and fig
ures relative to irrigation projects,
both government and private. would
comprise new and important feature
OF the 1910 census reports and as a
| consequence the census bureau had re-
ceiyed many inquiries concerning the
subject
Mr.. Durand's statement said that a
request OF the National Irrigation con-
gress as 10 what it wanted from the
intention OF the bureau toward the
subject of irrigation. The congress
desired the bureau to collect data re-
garding the number of acres under ir-
rtgation in 1908 and 1909: the crops,
their acreage and estimated value for
the two years; the number of people
engaged in and depending on irriga-
ton for a livelihood, the capital in
vested in irrigation concerns and the
companies engaged in irrigation in
each state.
Mr.. Durand said that the census bu-
reaus agricultural schedules would
call for the acreage and yield OF the
various crops that are under irrigation
and the total irrigated area in the
United States, but was not authorized
to go further. He said also that there
was daily increasing demand from
the public for statistics and informa-
ton relative to water power. The bu-
reau expects to develop data along this
line in connection with it's census of
manufactures that will be valuable IL

gress is expected 10 provide in the

Excessive Rainfalls

Many of the most successful of the
dry farming operations have owed
their prosperity. in part at least, to ex
cessfve rainfall. 1t is the purpose OF
the dry farming methods to make az
ricultnre successful in regions having
from ten to 20 inches of rainfall in the
year. This year one section where
dry farming is carried on received &c
inches OF rainfall in the first nine
months of the year, and a great deal
OF the crop was lost because there
was too much rain. That particular
section has had a great deal more rain
this year than has the state of vir
GINA, where farming operations are
based upon the theory of humid ag
riculture. This of course is an excep
tional case.

POULTRY HOUSE FOR LEGHORNS
The writer has recently visited the

The writer has recently visited the
poultry houses of Mr.. Lets near Mid
land, Mich. and will briefly describe
his methods Of handling and feeding
Leghorns for egg production. Mr..
Lets is working man, purchases
most of the feed and sells the eggs
at common prices. hence his expert
ence will be in accord with the gen.
eral farmer, with the greater disad-
vantage of having to purchase feed.
says a writer in an exchange.
Though no definite data were obtain
able as to the income from the poultry
Mrs. Lets informed me that they were
a very paying investment.
At present white, brown, and bun
Leghorns are raised exclusively. The
eggs are Matched entirely in incu-
bators and with little loss. The
young chicks are put in breeders kept
moderately warm. They are fed very
lightly at first. A little fine, sharp
sand is the first course, followed by
little finely powdered charcoal. They
are now ready for their chief diet of
dry oatmeal Milk is purchased to
feed in limited quantities to the young
chicks. Later cracked wheat and corn
are fed.
The hens get moistened ground feed
(oats and corn) in the morning, wheat
at noon and corn at night This ra-
ton is supplemented by waste meats
from the slaughter house and an oc-
casional meal of poultry food, also
roots and cabbage.
During the summer the chickens
are allowed the freedom of the
premises. being confined at night only.
In the winter they are not allowed out

cuitlxatIna Alfalfa,

The cultivation OF alfalfa grown. In
rows for seed is practiced to some ex.
tent. It will without doubt be bench
ciai to the crop. It appears that 1t may
be necessary to cultivate alfalfa II
seed production is to be placed on a
firm basis. Experience has shown that
a thick stand will not produce seed
satisfactorily and farmers often let
fields having q thin stand produce
seed. Generally after two crops OF
seed have been harvested enough seed
win have shattered on the ground to
give thick stand and seed production
after moro complete fertilization and
therefore better yield.
