NITROGEN NEEDED
FOR ALFALFA CROP
Too Much Water Causes the
Plant to Turn YelloW-likes
Drained Soil.

There are several reasons why al
falfa turns yellow: Too much water Is
one cause: n the plant becomes entire
ly covered with water or II the under
ground water comes too near the sur
face II will soon die. Alfalfa wants a
well drained soil as Il does not like
wet feet. Alfalfa sown on an uninocu-
lated soil. but rich in nitrogen, grows
well for some time, or until the avail
able nitrogen is taken up. II then be-
gins 20 lose its green color and turns
yellow owing 10 the lack OF nitrogen.
Where a field is inoculated with nitro
gen-gathering bacteria the nitrogen is
supplied to the alfalfa plants from the
air. There is also a fungus which at
tacks alfalfa and causes the alfalfa leaf
20 turn yellowish brown. The remedy
for this disease is to cut the alfalfa
as soon as the leaves start to show a
yellowish brown color.

How Europeans Get Our Gold.

Do you know Just how Europe re-

lean gold. Well, here is the way 1t
was done: Europeans hold great
amounts in American securities, which
is TO say they have bought bonds is
sued in this country. When the war
crisis came they saw the need OF ac-
tual money in place Of these bonds.
They cabled to their American bro
kers to sell at the market price. They
took whatever they could get, but
there was always something offered,
so the sales were heavy.
The purchasers Of these bonds gave
their checks. These the brokers
cashed at their banks and got curren-
cy. This currency OF the United
States is made good by the deposit
OF gold in the treasures. For every
gold certificate in existence there is
the actual metal in the treasury. SO
the brokers, getting the currency from
the banks, went to the sub-treasury in
New York and asked for the actual
gold. They received 1t and sent the
gold to their customers abroad.

Much has been written and said OF

the keeping OF a few sheep on the
