ALFALFA AND IT'S USES
Boston Transcript


The trite but true old saying about
the man who makes two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before
seems to be sufficient warrant for an
appeal to the farmers of the country
by an agricultural extension expert to
grow alfalfa. His reasons are at
tractive, and if they can be sustained
they should be convincing. 1t excels
every other crop in yield per acre, in
feeding value, as drought resister, as
a soil enricher, and is no harder to
grow than clover. Of course the peo-
pie of the East have heard very Won
derful stories of the yield of this for
age crop, and these seem to be a gen.
eral impression. 1t has its first in
PRODUCTION to this country from Chile,
the home of the nitrates, and has
spread over the Pacific slope and the
Middle West, though not as extensively
there as might be. Had it been brought
to New York or Connecticut first this
region would perhaps now be making
1T its major crop, and our fundamental
industry would be more advanced than
it is.
Today there are about five millio !
acres of alfalfa in the United States,
an area equal to the entire state Of
Massachusetts. OF these about one
million are in Kansas, which is the
leader. The movement there is COM
paratively recent and explains in large
measure why that state has suddenly
become an excellent market for pianos
and automobiles. There are fifty mil
lion acres given over to timothy with
much plausibility that the figures
should be reversed, and that his fav-
orite crop should have the more com
manding territory. Byaa series of ex-
periments extending over number OF
years the average yield of alfalfa per

critics. For the field of Gettysburg is
a most touching spectacle, noble. worth
travelling across oceans to see as an
epitome of the poetic, simple, good
generous heart of the American democ-
racy. Every Federal regimental line
of the three days of July fighting is
marked out by bronze tablets. and the
lmmorta Army of Northern Virginia is
placed in eternal position by the Gov
eminent of the reunited States. Oh.

nameless tablets for each persisted SOL

heroic it seemed to have poured out
life's blood for duty without leaving
even name save in the aching hearts
of those who knew that their beloved
must lie among the unrecognized slain
at Gettysburg And what is name on
any monument or tablet of that field?
All the inscribed are nearly forgotten
Visitors ask about some hero very
famous in his time land mine): "Who
was he?" In effect, the dead there are
all alike, essentially unnamed, becom-
ing quickly unrecognized, even as the

NO PERMANENT SESSION
New York Sun

In the project for the establishment
in the Blue Ridge of a hot season Cap
itol in which the Congress might carry
on it's summer deliberations unvexed
by the torrid heat of Washington may
be found the suggestion that the time
has come when the needs OF the nation
require the lawmakers to be at their
work II months in the year Who
cherishes the notion that any such I'M
interrupted grinding of the statute
mill is necessary or desirable? A great
many persons. Yet the records do not
support their opinion.
The SiXty-second Congress was in
session 500 days in the two years of
its life. The Sixty-first sat 435 days.
The SiXtieth did its work in 26S days.
The Fifty-ninth consumed 299 The
262 days. The Fifty-seventh Congress
competed its labors in 800 days. The
"ecessor 'ound it necessary to sit 435
days. The Fifty-fourth Congress sat
zSU days. and the Fifty-third 447. In
many cases the sessions were prolong-
ed through sheer obstinacy and mere
political jockeying. Yet when even
these causes contributing to extend
their lives the Congresses of 20 years
sat less than half the time.
If spot so uncomfortable as to pre-
woke unanimous ambition for early re-
lease from its duties could be found for
Congress the country would be glad to
build a permanent Capitol there. IT
suffers today from overlegislation,
delay and useless talk, and it longs not
for Legislature constantly in session,
but for one that will pass the appro-
priaotion bills, abstain from hectoring
business and regard adjournment as
its principal good work.

GEORGIA'S BIG CORN CROP

Reports that have been received by
the authorities of the State Agricul
tural College at Athens seem to indi-
cate very clearly that Georgia will
have a record crop of corn this yea.
The crop is so nearly mature now thar
this indication seems to be final
What more practical results could
be found of the good effects of the
corn club movement than this? Whel
movements of this kind bear such
good fruit, they come at once to BE-
regarded justly as most worthy and
meritorious. The boy corn growers OF
Georgia are getting busy in a very
practical way to show what they can
do on more than their mere prize
acres.
This activity by the boys and as q
result of the corn club movement has
served to give Georgia this year the
largest corn crop in many years, too,
when corn is needed, and every farm
err should have a good supply. The
fact that he crop is to be such an eX-
cellent one shows, also, how the efforts
of the boy corn growers has served to
leaven the entire agricultural life 81
the state. The older farmers ha e.
caught it, and the results are indeed
gratifying.
Sumter county has had a good shar3
in this increased corn production in
the past. This county will have a
good share in it this year, because
there are few, if any, counties N,
Georgia which are so thoroughly
abreast of modern agricultural meth
DDS as is Sumter county. The farmers
Of this section have much to be CRATE
full for in the work of the boys corn
club of this county. May this leaven-
ing process continue until every farm
9r in Georgia raises as much corn aS
he should. Then the marketing of the
cotton crop will solve itself and every
farmer be better off.

acre is put at five and four-tenths tons.
"hile OF red clover and timothy it is
less than half that. The irrigated
lands of the West doubtless furnish tha
most favorable conditions for it's
growth, but there are few farms of anv
size In New York or New England on
which some portion does not invite it's
cultivation.
AS a retaining agent for WORKOUT
lands that suffer from scarcity of nj
trogen, the vital element, it might
prove invaluable, because the CAPTURE
and storage of nitrogen is its long
suit The roots and stubble from an
average acre contain about twenty
pounds of phosphoric acid, thirty-eight
pounds of potash and ninety pounds OF
nitrogen 1t could almost be grown
with profit simply for its enrichment
of the soil. Comparative experiments
have shown that wheat grown on al
falfa sod has yielded over siXty-two
bushels to the acre( against forty-two
bushels grown on timothy sod, and the
difference in it's favor with respect to
barley and corn is about the same. 1t
takes nitrogen from the air, and is do
ing naturally with great success what
for long time science has been striv-
ing to do artifcially.

TO KEEP THE GREEKS AT HOME

immigration from Greece will be ma

can to turn its surplus population into

odus of young men to seek their for
tunes in other lands there is a mark
ed shortage of men, and this fact is
largely responsible for the proposed
legislation intended to keep young
men at home. Hitherto Greek immi-

for the most part between 16 and 40
years of age; now only those over 40
are to be allowed to leave. The Greeks
have come to fill a considerable place

of the Government to keep its sons at

A SOUTH GEORGIA HAY SHOW

Following the wonderful work that
has been done in this section of tie
state by the corn clubs, what more
useful exhibit could be arranged now
than a hay show? This would serve
to stimulate interest in branch OF
agriculture that is profitable but very
largely neglected now Every farmer
should grow hay, but some grow none
at all.
In referring to the worth of such an
innovation the Atlanta Journal says
| AS means of arousing and educat-
| ing common interest in this important
sphere of Georgia's agriculture no
better enterprise could be undertaken
Upon a larger nome production o.
food supplies, the progress of our
farms very largely depends. The peo-
pie of this state are spending millions
of dollars annually in importing corn
cattle, hay and other such products
from distant sections at high prices
Indeed, it has been estimated thu:
there is a deficit of thirty-seven mil
lion dollars every year between the
value OF our cotton crop and the cost
of our imported foodstuffs.
If the state is to enjoy its dua
measure of prosperity, this condition
of affairs must be altered AS one
means to that end, the state corn SHOW
which is conducted under the auspices
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
)is exceedingly valuable. Hay shows
like that to be held at Smyrna will
prove corespondingly useful; for, it is
commonly agreed among students 81
agriculture that if Georgia is success
fully to engage in the raising of cattlc
she must first produce the forage thai
is necessary to their sustenance
The soil of this state is particularly
well adapted to the growth of nutri-
tious grasses. Crops of this kind ca
be raised here with less labor and eX-
pense than in many other states
where the cattle industry has become
famously profitable. The farmers OF
this section who have determined tc
raise more hay and better hay are SCI
ting a fine example which, it is to be
hoped, will be followed throughout tn
state.
