may be necessary to cut at some other
time than the ideal time indicated. as,
for instance, when the weeds threaten
to choke out the young plants. when
the blossoms appear, or when the
plants begin to turn yellow. Except
in the latter case the clippings are
usually left on the ground as amulch.

heavy to be left on the field.
Ordinarily no treatment is required
during the second season. except TO
cut the hay when the plants are about
one-tenth in bloom, or, better, when
the new crown or basal shoots are
starting. 1t is important to get the
hay off the field as soon as possible,
in order to allow the new growth to
commence uniformly over the field.

a full crop is usual the second season
after spring seeding If the weeds OF
the first summer have not seriously

AS long as an alfalfa field shows a
perfect stand, with no tendency to run

the field any special treatment. II
the weeds begin to prove troublesome,
it is advisable to disc the alfalfa after
cutting. This process loosens up the
soil and aerates ii, which is decidedly
advantageous to the alfalfa The tap

usually injured by this practice If the
discs are set nearly straight, while the
weeds are TO great extent destroyed.
A spike-toothed harrow may follow

1t cannot be urged too strongly that
incubation is absolutely essential to
the successful production Of alfalfa.
There are very few soils outside the
alfalfa districts that do not require In

general rule that all other soils must
have the incubation supplied In order
to grow alfalfa successfully A few
soils. however, especially those upon
which sweet clover grows naturally
seem able to produce successful stands
without artificial incubation. These
however, are the exception rather than
the rule.
The advantages OF artificial cultures
lie in the greater ease of transporta-

absence of the danger of introducing

reported in the case OF the soil-trans-

II has been found that successes are
more apt to follow incubation with
pure cultures if the seed is sown i'm

dried after having been inoculated.
There Is some evidence accommodating
to indicate that the germs in the pure
cultures when they do survive are

(By J. NJ. WESTGATE.)
Throughout the western half of the
United States the soil appears to be
naturally supplied with the proper
bacteria for the formation of the root
tubercles. In the eastern part of the
country, however, where the soil con-
ditions are less favorable To the
growth of these bacteria, it is nearly
always necessary to supply them at
the time of seeding. This incubation
may be supplied either by scattering
soil from a successful alfalfa field or
in the form of artificial cultures.
Although possessed of some disad-
vantages, incubation by means Of soil
from a successful alfalfa field will
nearly always produce the desired
results. It is essential that care be
taken to avoid the introduction of
seeds OF noxious weeds or harmful
plant diseases. The bulkiness of the
300 to 500 pounds OF soil necessary
for an acre makes it advisable to Sc
cure the soil from a field as near by
as possible.
Ii has been found that soil from
around the roots of the sweet clover
is quite as effective as alfalfa soil. In
most sections of the country this plant
may be found growing wild in scat
tered clumps. In the south, where
burr clover occurs. soil from around its
roots may be used with good results.
The soil may be mixed with the seed
and sown with It, 1t may also be
drilled or broadcasted separately. If
broadcasted, the soil should be scat
tered on a cloudy day or toward even
ing and Immediately narrowed in, as
sunshine is harmful to the germs.
If the soil has to be freighted con-
siderable distances, it is usually advis-
able to use but 200 or 300 pounds of
soil per acre, but this should be mixed
with several times it's weight of ordi-
nary soil to facilitate even scattering.

SPRAY POTATOES

When the broods are first appearing

bugs. The best known remedy is

To one barrel OF water use three
quarters of pound of paris green and
to this add about one gallon of strong
lime water This will prevent the
burning of the foliage by the paris
green being too strong and will also
make it adhere TO the leaves better.
Keep the contents Of the barrel well
stirred while the machine is in mo-
ton.
One barrel is sufficient for about
two acres OF potatoes. My experience
with spraying as a preventative OF
blight has convinced me that we
should begin early before the disease
has appeared. Some potato growers
who are the most ready to condemn
spraying wait until the disease gets a
foothold and try to cure it with
