DISCOVER NEW
LEGUME EFFECTS
Experiments Made With Timothy
and Oats in Connection
With Lexurne Crop
at Cornell.

1t is well known that leguminous
crop, when vigorous and abundant, ex-
ercises a beneficial influence on the
soil and on succeeding crops. That a
legume may benefit nonlegume grow
ing with it, by causing the nonlegume
to contain large quantity of nitrogen
or protein, seems never to have been
ascertained.
Experiments have, therefore, been
conducted with timothy growing with
alfalfa, timothy growing with red
clover and oats growing with peas by
Profs T. L. Lyon and G. A. Bizzell, of
Cornell experiment station at Ithaca.
N. Y, to determine what effects were
produced. These show that the tim
othy and the oats contain more pro-
tein when grown with the legume than
when grown alone. The increased
protein contents of the hay crop thus
produced is matter of considerable
practical importance. 1t indicates,
moreover, that the nonlegume receives
during the growth Of the legume a
larger supply Of available nitrogen
than If grown alone. Other conclu-
sions drawn from the experiments are
reported in bulletin No. 294, which de-
tails the work done.

that the destruction of these beetles
prevented the growth of over 13.O0O.-
900 worms In the fruit. At any rate
only about four per cent. of the crop
was wormy, while In surrounding or
chards about forty per cent. was in

such a certain way to kill the beetles
is by spraying with lead arsenate. II
the leaves and fruit are thoroughly
covered with this poison, the beetles.

before they lay their eggs. In brief.
the method of spraying is as follows:
Dissolve lead arsenate at the rate

ter, then spray the mixture on the
trees so that they are completely COW
cred. The spraying should be COM
menced just as soon as the blossoms
fall. and repeated three or four times
at intervals Of eight to ten days.
Possibly this treatment sounds like
it is more bother than 1t is worth. Per-
haps 1t is for the farmer who has but
a few plums, cherries or peaches. but
the commercial grower must fight this
enemy if he is to have profitable crops
each year. OF course in heavy bear
ing years there is enough fruit for
both the curculio and the grower. In
such years the curculio may even do
good by thinning out the fruit.

to them and will cause them to desist

ALFALFA PLANT NEEDS LIME
Soils That Have Been Irrigated for
Several Years May Be Expected
to Be Found Deficient.

Western soils have In general
way been classed as soils containing
a sufficiency of lime, which is true of
most of them In their original state.
Consulting chemists on this point in
regard to alfalfa usually lead to very
much qualified. If not diverse opinions.
and leaves the farmer without much
enlightenment
OF late years the climatic conditions
have been adverse to alfalfa, late
frosts and laying down alfalfa for
short periods having had something
to do with short crops, but there are
probably some other reasons as well.
soil deficient in organic matter will
not, 1t is known. furnish proper
medium for the development of the
bacteria that are necessary for the al
falfa's best growth. So that If the
soil is deficient In this the condition
should be remedied as a first step.
If thereafter the alfalfa fails to
thrive and yield as heavy crops as
It used to, we must seek the reason.
A soil that has been irrigated for
ten or twenty years and in which the
water has been carrying the more
soluble elements downward during
that period may be expected to be
deficient in such characteristics as
lime near the surface and when wells
or dugouts are dug it will be evident
that this is no theory, but fact Hard

fact. In many cases they will not be
reached In visible condition except
where railroad cut or heavy exca-
walton is made. Our present practice
OF leaving alfalfa down about two
years and frrigating plentifully does
not lead to it's boring very deeply in
search of moisture and as the lime
sinks deeper year by year, 1t becomes
more and more inaccessible to the
plants. The remedy is not so simple
as 1t seems. because in the worst af-
fected districts 1t is hard to maintain
paying stand Of alfalfa until it
reaches the depth OF the lime deposit
even where stratum of gravel or
permanent water does not arrest the
root growth and allow the lime TO
pass entirely beyond its reach.

fairly satisfactory. These are Earring
and spraying.
The Earring method OF beetle de-
struction is based on the fact that the
beetles play possum" when there is
any disturbance near them. Earring is
commenced Just as the blossoms are
falling. and is repeated every day for
four or five weeks, or until no more
beetles are secured. The method is
to place a sheet or some other con-
tainer under mum tree, and then to
strike the tree quick, hard blow with
q padded stick or mallet. The beetles
fall to the sheet and may then be col
lected and destroyed. In large plum
orchards time is saved by rigging up
a sheet arrangement on a sort of a
wheelbarrow. or by stretching sheets
on wooden frames. In large orchard

POULTRY NOTES.

Remember the hen when laying
needs about twice as much food as
she would when not laying.
Too many hens with one male bird
means infertile eggs. Keep plenty of
cockerels and produce fertile eggs.
Change the coops to new ground ev-
cry few days, unless there are floors
in the coops, then sweep out daily.
Eggs tested as infertile from the
Incubator may be hard boiled and
fed to chicks. They are not spoiled.
Doubtful eggs should never be mar
keted under any conditions, for one
bad egg may lose ones best customer.
Scatter lime around the premises
and use lime and carbolic acid water
wash in the coops and houses each
week or two.
Experiments have proved that eggs
produced by hens fed dry mash were
more fertile than those laid by hens
fed a wet mash.

A basket of weeds pulled and

be kind to the biddies and they will
be kind to you in filling your egg
basket.
Remove nesting to safe place and
burn, thoroughly clean the boxes or
other nesting places with smoke or
lime wash. and refill with clean dry
nesting.
Have a separate run for the later
hatchings. or. II this is impossible,
place t'~:- coops as far as possible
