Alfalfa belongs to the egume family to which the
common red clover belongs. Like other members of the
family it is able to the free nitrogen of the air build
up plant tissue through the act ves of certain bacteria
which inhabit nodules upon the However it is able
to use the nitrogen Of the air in this only when bac
terra present The soil tla ha inocnated with
bacteria before it will grow alfalfa hta 81
incubation of the soil may IL ac.4mpis he'd in many
ways. Sweet clover is of tha al aagerla distrib-
uters. The soil on which ws aW alfalfa can be in
oculated by scattering thereon sou old sweet clover
alfalfa field For best results, earth per
should be scattered Immediately preceding the sowing Of
alfalfa seed
An excellent plan to supply the soil with the proper
bacteria is to mixture of one-fourh alfalfa and three
fourths clover seed to seed down portion of the
farm The clover mixed hay WITH be of better grade
with alfalfa grown connection The alfalfa plants that
survive become bacteria producers and distributors for tu
ture crops of alfalfa.
SOME RULES FOR ALFALFA GROWERS

Ship of Plenty Sails
From San Francisco To
New York Through Canal

New York. Sept. 5.-The most i'm
portant step which has been taken IN
the DEVELOPMENT Of the American mer-
camille marine since the disappear
ance of American clipper ships from
the sea occurred this week with the
arrival o fthe ship Of plenty from
san Francisco through the canal TO
this ship goes the honor OF being the
one to make the oIIlclal Nos az U
greeting from san Francisco TO New
York
Bearing letters from mayor Rolfe, OF
san Francisco, to mayor M1Icnells ana
from Commercial bodies in the city
from which Sc sailed TO commercial
bodies here. the arrival OF the Ameri-
can-HaWaiian liner -Nebraskan" served
TO emphasize the future OF American
shipping through the canal and the
rehabilitation Of the American mercan-
tile marine.
The vessel was met by representa-
tives Of various commercial bodies here
and by mayor Mitchell in her capacity
as the first official messenger to ar
rive from the golden gate at Sandy
Hook. Christened by the mayor Of san
York's officials and commercial or
CARNATIONS welcomed her here as
the ship OF opportunity"
With the tremendous drive now under
way for the expansion Of South Amer
lean trade and the development Of a
new American mercantile marine, the
arrival of the "Nebraskan" is in many
ways regarded as the most important
commercial happening here in many
years. The arrival Of a sister ship in
Philadelphia with the first load Of
sugar from the Hawaiian islands to
come through the canal is looked upon
here by commercial orga uizatiOns as
being Of only lessor importance.
Shippers and exporters assert that
the arrival of these two ships affords
the most striking illustration Of the
possibilities of trade development
through saving Of time. The ship Of
plenty made the voyage in about %
days. or just about half the time re-
quired for the trip before the compile
ton of the canal. The new time sp-
proaches that made by freight ship
ments across the continent by rail.
