ALFALFA HAS MANY VIRTUES

This is a legume that is worthy our
attention in this brief article. Alfalfa
has many OF the virtues Of clover and
in some points, surpasses that plant.
Like c'oKer,. 1t is m enricher Of the
soil. - 81.
Alfalfa. has been discussed 20 ex-
~tensively; >tp:these pages that 1t nesd
not occupymuch Of my space. :
!. When given proper cultural treat
ment, 1t indicates 4 .hikh quality Of
drouth-resistance and associated with
this resistance to dry conditions, one
is struck with the way the plant rs-
spends during 4 wet year.
1t will do a. we'll n any perennial
forage crop in a dry year and Will. do
much better than any such crop In q
wet year. The problem of. getting Al
falfa successfully. through our winters
Is no longer . serious one, as we have
which are very resistant to
cold. The farmers Of the Dakota EN-
pire should not fail to appreciate the
fact that their soils are already pre-
pared for alfalfa. in the way of sweet
ness and drainage. This is 4 much
different: condition than obtains over
much Of the humid lands Of the east.
And, .tdo;, 1t should not be forgotten
that a1t4tlfa is perhaps the only plant
of the .lsgumes or of the small grasses
that can be grown in cultivated rows
in a profitable way.
Now with the cold and drouth re-
sistance of alfalfa, associated with it's
high cropping powers, we have = very
satisfactory hay plant, remarkable
alike for it's richness. palatability and
digestibility.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1913-03-28

OF either of these grasses, great care
should be exercised in getting pure
seed. Even 4 clean bill from the seed
commissioner cannot be considered
wholly satisfactory as It takes only
one quack seed to start Z patch, and
there may be only one such seed to
the bushel. A field inspected by "one
who knows" 10 the only certain way
to know that n will have pure seed.
The ouack patches in any infested
field should be cut before the general
cutting, and such grass carefully re-
moved and burned. II this 10 thor.
oughly done for all Of the qauck grass
patches, the bronze or slender wheat
seed may be considered satisfactory.
A quack infested farm is about az
pleasant to contemplate 10 . cancer
afflicted person.
Az a pasture plant, slender wheat 10
apparently not quite &C good as bronze.
Bronze grass greens up earlier in the
spring and remains this way until
later In the fall, than slender wheat.
However, in the drier and in the
drier years, slender wheat grass may
make more growth than bronze grass.
Like many of our other native grass,
slender wheat cures on the stalk and
the LEAKAGE SO cured makes nutritious.
even II not a %succulent, pasture. Slen-
der wheat may be considered a better
pasture plant than timothy.
O1anAar xx,hoof q has kAnn orl.
tivated but little from its wild condi-
ton and l think we may expect 1t to
improve somewhat under continued
cultivation. We find q vast number
of types In the species and marked
improvement may be brought about
by the propagation Of the best types.
1t is often advisable to SOW q mix
ture of grasses rather than any M
kind. A fixture of bronze and slen.
der wheat Lay often be preferred to
either sown alone. Because Of the
climatic conditions that obtain in
North Dakota and for other reasons,
alfalfa should be considered by Ill
odds the proper crop to grow mixed
with bronze or slender wheat. NJ
reasons are:
L.. The root systems are dis-Aimi.
lar, thus allowing the alfalfa % obtain
water and plant food from the soil
levels that cannot b reaaAsf hy. the
grasses.
a.. The alfalfa adds nitrogen ~ nj
trates to the soil, the lack Of which ID
an important element III causing
bronze to become sod bound" and in
causing decreased yields Of slender
wheat. The alfalfa acts az a substi-
tute for stable manure.
s. Using alfalfa as an element Of
a mixture bronze or slender. wheat
being the other element-we may Sc
cure pure seed Of the grass element
which, Of course, would be impossible
were two or more grasses grown TO-
gether..
4. The alfalfa element adds great
ly in palatability, richness and digesti.
bility to the pasture or.to, the hay with
which: It may be associated, tending
to balance. the one-sided grass ration.

HOW ROTATION IS PLANNED
In Order That System May Be Perma-
nent Is 10 Necessary to Main.
tain Fertility Of Soil.

tBy r. c. DONEGHUE, Professor OF Az
ronOmy, North Dakota Agricultural
College.)
The planning OF a complete rotation
for any farm consists of the placing
Of the crops which give the greatest
net income for the region in question
In such sequence in the cropping sys-
EN- that the largest net income for
the farm will be obtained. In order
that the system may be permanent. it
Is necessary that some provision be
made to maintain the fertility of the
soil for future productiveness. In
planning a rotation the following
principles should be kept In mind:
First, cultivated crops. like corr and
potatoes. clean the land of weeds, con-
serve soil water and improve the ply
steal condition Of the soil. Second,
the legume crops, like clover and al.
falfa, keep down weeds, build up the
organic matter in the soil and add nh
trogen to it. Third, grass crops, like
timothy and bronze grass, keep down
weeds and build up the organic mat
ter in the soil, but add no important
element Of plant food. Fourth, wheat
and barley are relatively weak feeding
crops and should be placed in thesmost
favorable place in the rotation. They
allow the accumulation Of certain
weeds and allow the soil to get fntS
poor physical condition. Fifth, OATS
are ranker feeders than either barley
or wheat, and do not demand as favor4
able development of poor physical
conditions in the soil. Sixth, max is
a weak feeder and demands a good:
place in the rotation. As a rule IT
does best on sod and when given thi&
place in the rotation does not seem
to injure the land for small grain pro-
duction. When seeded on old land on
which a rotation has not been fol-
lowed it fails to improve the land for
wheat production. 1t should not be
seeded twice in succession on the
same land, and when it is grown q
period of seven or eight years should
intervene before it is seeded again.
Seventh, clover does best when seed
ed whit a nurse crop in the more hui
mid portions Of the state. Barley or
wheat make very good nurse crops.
Eighth, alfalfa does best when seeded
without q nurse crop on land that
