SELECTING AND

Good Supply CT DeCOmpOSable
Organic Matter Helps BaCter-
ial Action of Plant.

Many people make the fatal mis-
take Of expecting alfalfa to do well
on soils that are not fit properly to
produce any kind OF crop. says Bull
letin SO of the Purdue university Gin
diana) station. There is just as much
need of care in selecting and preparing
soils for alfalfa as for any other crop
and probably more. because of It's
deep roofing habits and large plant
food requirements.
Deep, loamy soils with open sub
soils are undoubtedly best for alfalfa.
but there is plenty OF evidence to
show that 1t may be successfully pro-
duced on almost any type of soil,
from light sandy or grayeliy loans
and peats or mucks to heavy clays,
provided that 1t is well drained.

Many soils that at present are not

so by providing drainage facilities.
correcting acidity. adding organic
matter, or supplying needed plant
food. according to Cue requirements
Good drainage is essential In order
that the roots may go deep into the
soil Hardpau must be broken up or
avoided altogether. Soils that are
sour may be made sweet by thorough
drainage and the application of lime.
A good supply of decomposable or
ganic matter in the soil helps the
bacterial action in making plast
food available. facilitates the inocu-
lating process. and together with a
good drainage prevents heaving in
the spring. For soils that are out OF
condition in this respect, coed way
to supply organic matter II sufficient
manure IL not available Is to raise
and plow under crop Of cowpeas
or some green manuring crop before
attempting to grow alfalfa.
Peat and muck soils may be used
for alfalfa II they are well drained
and properly supplied with mineral
plant food. Potash Is nearly always
lacking in these soils and often phos-
phoric acid and lime must also be
supplied Soils that are subject to
flooding are not good for alfalfa
