MORE BEEF CATTLE NEEDED
South Is Depending Too Much on
Western Packers to Furnish Meat
Much Pasturaae Idle.

In spite of the fact that the south
consumes more beef every year, the
farmers of that section are showing
little inclination to grow more of
supply The south is depending too
much on the western packers TO fur
nish their beef says the Rural New
Yorker The southern states should
raise more beef cattle than they need;
they have unlimited ranges which
could be made productive If proper at
tention was given them In installing
the right kind Of grasses. The land
could be made to grow ten times what
it does now and become more fertile
all the time. Good cattle need good
pasturage, and good pasturage can be
propagated on what Is now almost
desert barrens.

the government Is ready at all times
to furnish experts to assist the land
and cattle owners in getting rid Of this

SOILS FOR ALFALFA
Two Methods of incubation Civ
en- by Texas Station.
First Is TO Scatter Soil From Old Al
falfa Field and Then Seed In
Usual Way-Other Consists
of Use of Bacteria.

Dr. G. S Traps, sttae chemist of
Texas at the A. and NJ college, says
| there are two methods of inoculating
soils for alfalfa
The first method consists of scat
tcring 200 to 500 pounds per acre OF
soil from an old alfalfa field and har-
rowing It in. The seeding is then
! This method has been used very ex-
tensively and with good results. The
soil from the old alfalfa field con-
tains thousands of bacteria which live
upon The roots of the alfalfa and en-
able 1t to secure nitrogen from the
air, and when the soil is narrowed in
the new land the bacteria are intro
duCed INTO it. There are several dis
advantages connected with the use of
soil. The transportation charges may
be considerable and the soil may carry
| the seed of various weeds of dodder
and the spores of injurious fungi
The second method of inoculating
consists in the use OF cultures of bac-
terra. These cultures are allowed to
multiply in a suitable liquid and eth
er applied directly to the seed or in
oculated into the soil and the soil ap-
piled. The cultures placed upon the
market have not formerly been sue
/ cessiul but they appear to be of much
| better quality at present. These cul-
lures are prepared by the United
States department of agriculture at
Washington and by several CONNER
ciai concerns.
Besides the bacteria referred to
above alfalfa requires a soil that Is
! properly drained and also should be
well supplied with lime. The alfalfa
will not do we'll unless an abundance
Of lime is present. and If the lime is
aOt naturally contained in the soil It
must be added
! In large number of experiments
carried out in New York it was found
hat successful stands of alfalfa were
secured in two out of five cases in
which lime was applied at the rate
IF l,500 pounds per acre. When 200
70 500 pounds of old alfalfa soil per
acre was used together with the lime
/ our out OF five successful stands We're
i secured.
Experiments Of the New Jersey sta
ion show that the inoculating ma
.eyial referred to above contained
alge numbers OF vigorous bacteria,
/ but not capable of serving any useful
purpose on land If deficient In lime.
Their experiments show that on land
properly drained and properly sup
+ piled with moisture, lime, phosphates
/ and potash these commercial cultures
are capable Of increasing the yield OF
! such leguminous crops as had not
/ been previously grown on the land.
Where the alfalfa or other legumin-
GUS crops have been previously grown
he germs are usually present

Cowpeas Valuable for Hay.

Good cowpea hay is fully as valu-
able a feed, pound for pound, as red
clover hay, and very nearly equal in
value to alfalfa or TO wheat bran
The principal value of this hay lies in
its high percentage of digestible pro
tein which is nearly four times that
of timothy hay One reason why COW
peas are not more extensively used as
a hay crop is the difficulty often ex-
perenced In curing the large growth
of succulent vines. Where proper
care is taken in curing. especially
where sorghum or similar plant Is
grown with 1t In mixture. it is not a
difficult matter to make a good COW
pea hay unless the weather Is de
eidedly unfavorable.

MARKET GARDENING IN SOUTH
at Various Points Again One of
Leading Industries.

The commercial cultivation of vege-
tables at various points in the south
ern states had become established be-
fore the war, but, like many other
kinds of industry, was totally pros
trated. 1t has now revived with much
capital and intelligent labor to make
II the leading interest in those states.

Thus, owing to the wide diversity of
climate our country presents, and the
ready means of transportation fur
nished by water and steam, the sea

longed, II not doubled. Our large
cities draw their supplies from a long
Misunderstanding with Bermuda
and Florida, then follow from Georgia,
the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland,
Delaware, and finally New Jersey
sends in its products before the mar
ket gardens in the northern states are
able TO supply the demand
The characteristic soil in these
southern market sections is a sandy
loan, which natures it's products
with great rapidity. Some of these
regions are yet undeveloped, but pos
sess wonderful possibilities because Of
the nature of the soil, the vegetable
matter in 1t, the satisfactory climate
and the rainfall Then, too, chemical
manures are now available, so as to
make this line of agricultural activity
certain and remunerative. The south
has entered into a wonderful posses
sion that of supplying small fruits
and vegetables to the north, and as
the demands increase will be fully
able to meet them. But the south is
not competitor of northern gardens.
because its products come in at a
time when the products of the north
ern gardens are not yet ready. Thus
are not only the southern sections
benefited, but the northern consuming
public is also, and all the time the de
mand for the northern garden prod
ucts keeps pace with the supply.
