WHY CULTIVATE CORN ?
KEEPING WEEDS DOWN NOT THE
ONLY RESULTS OBTAINED.
BY A. C. Page, College Of Agriculture,
University OF Missouri.

\ common idea among farmers is
that the only reason Tor Cultivating
corn is to keep the weeds down, and
perhaps to hold some Of the moisture
by the soil mulch These are both
important functions. but they are not
the only results of cultivation. One
of the most important, which is not
very generally known about, is the
nitrihcation process which takes place
and which is essential to proper de.
velopment Of the corn plant.
Nitrogen, best known in the form
OF a gas which comprises a large part
of our atmosphere, is essential TO the
growth of plants and animals. In an.
finals II is found largely in the com.
position OF the hair hoofs. horns, and
lean meat of the muscles Il Is the
great building material of which the
animal structure is made In plants
II is found In the seeds, and In the
interior OF each tiny cell Without
large proportion OF nitrogen, neither
plant or animal could live or grow
There is an abundance of nitrogen
free in the air as a gas, but this is
not in a form which can be used for
the building processes. II must first
be fixed in a solid form In the soil
and dissolved In water which is taken
up by the plants Certain bacteria
working on the roots Of legume crops.
such as clover, cowpeas, alfalfa, and
the Ike, have the power of taking
this nitrogen from the air and leaving
It in the soil That is the reason such
crops are always followed by increas-
ing yields the next year.
The plant is particular. however,
what kind OF nitrogen II takes up.
Ammonia contains nitrogen, but ex.
cept in rare cases, and these some.
what doubtful, the plant can not use
this form. Other forms Of nitrogen
exist in the soil, but they must first
be converted to the form called by
the chemist the nitrate, before they
are OF use to the plant II nitrate o!
soda Is applied TO the ground, an i'm. /
change is observed in the /.
growth OF the grass, because the nj. !,

Wheat -four contains the necessary |
food value for our use, but we will |
not eat 1t until 1t is made into the |
form of bread. SO the plant will not
use nitrogen until It is made into the
form OF nitrate.
When manure, or the carcass of an
animal. or other organic material de.
Gays, there is a good deal OF nitrogen
turned loose. II would seem that the
plant should flourish where this ma

Getting Start With Alfalfa
Success Possible on Upland Soil

Missouri College Of
Agriculture.

Alfalfa should be sown in late sum.

results the Preparation of the land

Here is where the connection with

proper growth of the corn Professor
NJ. F. Miller Of the University of Mis-
sour says that often there is not
nearly enough nitrate for the crop at
the beginning OF the season, but ow-
ing to the unceasing work OF these
bacteria there may even be surnlus
at the end of the season.
II land is cultivated thoroughly all
through the season without any crop
at all, the nitrate will be formed iust
the same. But as this form is easily
dissolved in water, the rains and the
snow OF winter are likely to wash out
any such nitrate that is formed and
not taken up by plants.
