Turn Under Legume Crops.

1t is the business of the farmer
TO take out of his soil in crops
every pound of nitrogen, phosphor-
us end pt tsssium he can get ont of
it, but it is equally as much or more
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
IN some cheaper form.
If the supply of any plant food
is abundant and little of it is re.
moved from the. land,,.a may: be-
true of potassium : when nothing
but livestock or lint cotton is sold
from the farm, he may draw on the
reserve supply in the soil for q
time, but generally the only safe
plan is to put back as much of each
plant food as is removed by the
crops, and not returned in stable
manure. In the case of nitrogen,
much more must be- put back than
the crops remove from the soil, for
This plant food is largely leached
out by rain water that drains from
the soil.
To sell nitrogen in milk, beef,
pork or in grains at high price,
and gather it from the air with le!
gumes for little or no cost, when
the feeding value of these legumes
is considered, is a profitable busi-
uess and should he followed by the
farmer to the utmost limit. If he
does this by growing two crops a
year, one of which is a legume to
be plowed under or fed and the
manure returned to the land, he can
buy phosphorus in the form of
ground phosphate rock at a very
small part of what he gets for it;in
the products sold, but if he buys nj
trogen at 90 cents a pound, then he
must also buy phosphorus in the
form of acid phosphate at a cost of
four or five times what it would
COST him in ground phosphate rock.
From this it is seen that the farmer
" no grows legumes and at least
plows some of them under, not only
gets his nitrogen for a small part
of what it costs when bought in
commercial form, bu, he also saves
three tourths of the cost for the
phosphorus needed which must be
brought in all kinds of farming to
maintain the supply in the soil.
A great many seem to fail to
realize that the aim of the farmer
should be to take the largest quan-
titles of plant foods possible fro m
the soil, in crops, and still greater
number entirely fail to appreciate
the fact that these plant foods
taken from the soil must be replac-
ed. When they are bought at the
prices charged for commercial nj
trogen and for phosphorus in acid
phosphate the farmer is either
swapping dollars or robbing his
land. 1t is better to buy these plant
foods in commercial fertilizers than
not put anything back into the
soil; but if the greatest profit is to
be obtained, he must gather his nj
trogen from the air with legumes
and put his land in condition 30
that he can use the cheapest form
of phosphorus by plowing these le-
gumes under or feeding them and
returning the stable manure.-Tait

bidextrous delivery Awkward said that
be thought he might have inherited a
left hand delivery from his father who
did all his throwing from that side,
and this together with the fact that
he is a left hand batter seemed to
claim him a south paw by nature but
when he reflected that he always bats
flies to the out field with his right
hand together with feeling very much
at home in pitching with this arm, he
concluded that his powers must have
been equally distributed.
Coach Murch has given this young
man no little share OF his attention
this season and is highly elated with
the form he has been displaying. Nat
urally, interested in his odd delivery,
Coach Murch has taught him meth
od of pitching left handed whereby he
will get more smoke on the ball in adj

COBB GREATER BASE RUN !.
. NER THAN MILAN. .

rs Clyde Milan a better base
runner than Ty Cobb3'
This was a question asked of
George Moriarty, the crack in
fielder of the Tigers, recently.
No. instantly replied George.
But Milan set new record
for base stealing last year" per-
sisted the questioner.
Admitting that, but Milan is
not as good or as dangerous a
man ON the base! paths as Cobb
returned the Tigers assistant
manager. MILAN. is unquestion
ably one of the fastest men in
the major leagues. and he earned
all of the bases he stole last sea-
son, but Milan gets on first Of
tener and has more chances to
steal second-the popular steal
ing point-than Cobb.
cobb stretches a lot of hits
that to Milan would be singles.
Cobb, therefore, is on second
base and 1t Is the general opin-
ion that it is harder to steal
third than it is second, for the
reason that the catcher has a
shorter and better throw.
''The records will show that
Cobb gets many more doubles
than Milan, and each one of
these doubles counts against his
chances of stealing. Then,
again, it isn't always good policy
to steal third. A single will
score a fast man like Cobb or
Milan, and once such a player
is on second it is tempting fate
; to start to steal third.
But so far as a base runner
is concerned Cobb is Milan's SUI
perior, despite the Washington
; stars mark of last year"
