ALFALFA AND WHEAT
3rowin0 OF Alfalfa In the Wheat Belt
Will Do Much to Maintain the
Fertility Of the Soil and Slim
ulate Live Stock and Dairy
Ing lnterests.

There is no one thing that will do
more to build up and permanently
maintain the agriculture of the Pacific
Northwest than the introduction OF
alfalfa. as general farm crop.
Alfalfa greatly improves the fertil-
lty and mechanical condition of the
SOIL. Not only does it enrich the soil,
but 1t yields an abundance of the best
possible feed for all kinds of farm ami
mails. More hay means more live
stock, and stock growing points to
better farms and more prosperous
agricultural condition.
continuous cropping of wheat, oats,
corn or other non-leguminous crops
from year to year without proper
rotation will SO exhaust the soil that
yields will be reduced to less than
half; rust and other diseases will fol-
low; insects appear, and it will be
necessary to grow other crops upon
the fields which have produced so
abundantly.
Before this condition takes place 1t
may be well to consider the growing
OF alfalfa upon the over-wheated farms
OF that great region known as the In
land Empire. Alfalfa should be grown
upon every farm in this great region.
Alfalfa is profitable crop-it in
creases farm values and excels every
other crop In yield per acre, in feed
ing value, as a drought resister, and
as soil enricher. 1t is now being
profitably grown in many sections of
the Pacific Northwest The college
experiment station reports total av-
erage of over ~ tons per acre, but
the yields reported by the farmers av-
erage nearly 81 tons per acre.
Experiments conducted upon the
college farms and results obtained by
alfalfa growers under ordinary farm
conditions prove conclusively that pay
Ing crops can be obtained wherever
wheat and other graan crops are
grown. Wheat yields of Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon will be increased
over 80 per cent. when crops are
grown upon alfalfa sod. This fact is
by many experiments
conducted In nearly every agricultural
state in the United States.

ALFALFA IN THE NORTHWEST

The fertility OF any soil is measured
by the amount uf plant food it contains.
Continuous cropping, without return
ing to the soil these vital elements
thus removed. reduces in time to the
danger point itss power to produce in
quantities which make farming profit.
able. Prof. George Severance in
commenting on the growing of wheat
In the Palouse esounty, says that with
continuous wheas culture our wheat
soils are gradually becoming depleted
In humus and nitrogen. This is
shown by the lighter yellow color and
more slender growth of grain and the
greater tendency of the soils to wash
and run together" and bake when
dry.
Experience has shown that the lack
Of proper crop rotation takes out the
supply Of nitrogen more easily than
any other element of fertility. Nitro
gen being high priced. it rs not advis-
able to buy 1t on the market Fortu-
nately this Is not necessary as by
growing some leguminous crop 1t may
be stored up in the plant and returned
to the surface soil. OF all the legu.
minous crops alfalfa stands highest in
the quantity produced on an acre and
also highest in digestfble potein-an
absolutely necessary form of animal
food. There is no question about the
possibility Of growing alfalfa in the
northwest
Prof Alfred Atkinson ofsthe Mon
tana Agricultural college believes
that the success attained by those
who have grown it in the past, indi-
Gates the important place which al
falfa will hold in Montana's agricul-
ture. Under irrigation it returns very
large yields, and on the dry farm it
is one OF the most promising forage
and soil-improving crops.
AS a drought resister and a. soil en-
richer alfalfa stands easily at the
head Of the leguminous crops. Its
wonderful root system extending as it
does deep into lower soil goes beyond
the danger point Of the moisture sup
