ALFALFA TO IMPROVE SOILS
In Actual Practice Crop Can Only Be
Considered on Land Which is
High In Fertility.

The unqualified recommendation as
4 soil improver that is continually be-
ing given alfalfa is responsible for
the very common belief that this crop
is one which should be grown extern
sively on poor or unproductive soils,
says Rural Farmer. No greater mis-
take could be made than to SOW al
falfa. especially in the Eastern states.
on land which is not in a high condi-
ton of fertility.
1t is true that. being a legume, it
benefits the soil through the addition
of nitrogen fixed by organisms form
ing nodules on its roots, and through
it's roots it not only supplies consid-
cradle quantities of humus. but great
ly improves the mechanical condition
of the soil
In producing profitable yields of hay,
alfalfa utilities large quantities of
phosphorus and potassium, which
must be obtained either directly from
the soil or from added fertilizer.
Whether alfalfa is soil improver is
without some explanation. In the sense
in which the term is commonly used,
alfalfa is not a soil-improving crop.
since it cannot be utilized in the same
manner as COW peas, soy beans, Grim
son clover or hairy vetch for the build
ing up of WORKOUT or depleted lands.
On the other hand it enriches the good
soils through the nitrogen and humus
added TO the soil by its roots and
crowns when the old field of alfalfa is
broken up and also by the mechanical
action of its roots upon the soil. Fur
thermore, the preparation of the land
prior to seeding the alfalfa and the
treatment in the way of top dressing
and fertilizing which follow during the
few years of its existence doubtless
have a very beneficial effect on the
crops succeeding it.
In actual practice, then, alfalfa i'm
proves good land, but cannot be con-
sidered in connection with poor land.

 When the waves of the ocean are one-haf the length of the ship and one-twsntieth of the length in height, the etress upon the ship itself is very little increased above that in smooth water. But when ths waves are of the same length as the ship or one and one- half times it's length, the stresses are considerable higher than when the ship is in smooth water.
