ALFALFA AS A VIRGIN CROP
Stands Foremost Among Lesumes Be-
cause Of Its Marked influence
Upon Succeeding Crops.

CBy H. p FIsHBURN. Assistant Chem
list. Idaho Experiment station)
AS virgin crop for raw sagebrush
land. alfalfa stands foremost among
the legumes because of its marked
influence upon the growth ard pro-
ductiveness OF succeeding crops. Sage
brush land is usually rich In potash
and phosphoric acid and poor In nitro
gen (organic matter.) Alfalfa ap-
pears to correct the lack of nitrogen
by the cultivating effect OF its won
derful root system. but the belief that
II adds large amounts Of nitrogen to
the soil for other crops Is erroneous.
Exhaustive studies have shown that
ing its own nitrogen when this eie-
ment is lacking in the soil. 1t is also
a great feeder on nitrogen and depos-
its very little excess OF soluble nj
trates. Therefore the beneficial ef'
feet OF alfalfa seems due. not so much
to the addition of nitrates. but rather
to the loosening and penetrating ef-
feet OF It's roots and to whatever or
ganic matter may remain In the roots.
II should be borne In mind that
while II can supply its own nitrogen,
II must, as do other crops, get Its pot
ash and phosphoric acid from the
soil

DEEP FLOWING is ESSENTIAL
Equally Necessary Is Use Of Some I'm.
pIement to Pack Furrow Slice
Firmly Against subsoiI.

In all dry farming countries deep
blowing Is essential. Equally neces-
sary Is the use of the sub-surface
packer, blade harrow or some other
implement that will pack the furrow
slice firmly against the subsoil. These
two things are essential to the prepar-
alton Of 9 good seed bed and q seed
bed which will take up and hold all
the precipitation during the fall and
winter, says the Kansas Farmer. Gen.
orally speaking. too much plowins
and narrowing is done for the express
purpose OF getting enough loose dirt
on the surface to cover the seed. As
moisture is paramount TO the growing
OF any crop. methods conducive to
the taking up OF that moisture by the
soil and the holding OF the same In
the soil for the growing crop. are I'M
portant factors in crop production.

FARMER SHOULD GROW TREES
Comfort is Added to Home BY Provld-
Ing Surroundings Of Restful and
Beautiful Character.
tBy J. j. RrNG)

(By J. j. RTNG)
Protection Is one OF natures first
laws, and seems to be the first law OF
nations. Then. why not protect our
homes by planting trees for wind
breaks and shelter-belts. They add
to the comfort OF the home by provid-
Ing surroundings OF restful and
beautiful character. and shelter 1t
from the winter winds and SHOWS.
We can not over-estimate the value
OF tree planting in the prairie prov
inces. The economic value OF the
shelter belts can not be expressed In
dollars. For many reasons. an ample,
properly located windbreak should be
grown around the farm home. Its
protecting arms embrace the dwelling
house. and the barns. stables and
sheds. The strong. hardy. beautiful
trees are set for defense. and when
the winter billiards come charging
across the prairies and find the farm
home intrenched behind living ram
part Of trees, the fierce breath ls
robbed of power to worry and destroy.
The wind rolls over: the snow Is held
back in the lee OF the shelter-belts;
the farmyards are free of snow banks.
Who can put q money value on the
shelter belts7
II possible they are OF more value
In the summer. When the dry. blight
Ing hot winds and the fierce cutting
sandstorms attack our homes. we are
comparatively safe behind the irwin
chile. swaying homeguard OF trees.
Can q price be put on the comfort and
enjoyment our families and friends
receive from the cool refreshing shade
and shelter oi the trees!
The farm animals. poultry and our
wild birds enjoy the protection. We
find from long experience that We can
raise better and aner favored garden
vegetables In the shelter than In the
open. To get the best results from
small fruits. flowers and shrubs. we
must have shelter.
