Now. Mr.. Backus was always recog-

In short, Mr.. Backus was seasick.
Mr.. Smith proved an excellent sailor,

GREEN MANURE IS VALUABLE
Crop Giving Luxuriant Growth Of
Leaves and Costing Little to
Grow ls Most Desirable.

fBy HENRY FuLMER, Idaho Experi-
ment Station)
The benefit derived from incorporat-
ing green crops In soil as manure was
noticed by the Romans.
The value Of green manure is two
fold. Green clover, when turned In
the soil, adds nitrogen directly to the
land Later. when the clover is being
decomposed, the carbohydrates which
the decaying plant contains serve as a
source of energy for the class of soil
bacteria that are able to gather free
nitrogen, independent of host plant.
from the air into their cells in a form
that will be later used by growing
plants. Owing to the ease and quick
ness with which these green crops may
be decomposed, the stimulation OF the
independent free nitrogen fixing bac-
terra is brought about much sooner
than with dry material that is coarse
and difficult to decompose.
II. during dry SPELL the green ma
nure is added In very great quantities,
excessive evaporation may result. Ex.
periments have shown that the acid
produced in the soil from this kind Of
manuring is not great enough to pre-
vent nitrification.
The farmer must use judgment in
selecting the most economical crop for
this purpose In his particular section.
The one giving luxuriant growth of
leaves and costing but little to grow
is desirable. A nonleguminous plant
is as valuable in stimulating the free
nitrogen fixing organisms, pound for
pound, as the plants Of the legumin.
Gus family. The fact that a plant is
not from the legume family does not
keep 1t from being Of value as manure.
This form of manuring bids fair to re-
ceive a great deal more of attention
in the near future.

dition for the growth of clover I, Is

Cultivation should begin early. Cul.

small teeth or shovels are best for

best conservers OF soil moisture A
loose and friable soil stimulates a
steady and rapid growth.
Packages must be neat and clean. AS
rule small packages are best early
in the season when the prices are
high. and large packages for the main
crop. Use standard sized packages
and give full measure.
Crops must be gathered In proper
condition and sent to market fresh
and clean. Careful grading is essen
tial. A few inferior specimens in a
package are the first to attract atten-
tion. Even few specimens will knock
