been the desire for show. AS soon

wants to demonstrate the fact in some

he thinks of is a large, snowy house
which usually gives him an endless

wife into an early grave, and leaves

Alfalfa as a Soil Builder.

The great virtue of alfalfa is its
ability to increase the nitrogen con-
tent of the soil. About II per cent
of the air is nitrogen. 1t is estimated
that there are $1,000 tons over every
acre of land, worth, at the present
rate of Is cents a pound, over $l2,
100000, if il could be used. 1t is
taken out of the air into the soil by
very minute organisms called bacteria,
which live in the little nodules found
on the alfalfa roots. 1t takes about
10000 bacteria to measure an inch
They take the nitrogen from the air
and use il in their life processes and
then give it up to the alfalfa plant in
another form. Alfalfa plants remove
a large amount of nitrogen from the
soil, but the bacteria collect is such
that a portion is left for other plants
that follow If the soil is too wet, the
bacteria cannot work, and if too hard,
the air containing the nitrogen cannot
get to them All plants which have
the ability to add nitrogen to the soil.
like alfalfa, are called legumes. Some
legumes closely related to alfalfa are
sweet, red and white clover; some
more distantly related are beans and
peas.-By d. w. Frear, Colorado Ag
