Of BACTERIA
ON SOIL FERTILITY
Farmer May Do Much in Decreasing
Cost Of Fertilizer Bills BY conserv'
ing Supply Of Nitrogen.

The relation of soil bacteriology TO
soil fertility and the methods or pre-
serving this fertility by means OF
these bacteria is gradually becoming
a matter of study.
A number OF the experiment sta
lions are becoming interested IN this
work and 1t is time indeed that some
thing was being done along this line.
Expense to Farmer.
Fifty millions of dollars Is the
annual fertilizer bill OF American
farmers. Most of this is paid by far
mers of twenty Of the eastern states.
as commercial fertilizers are used but
very little, at present, in the middle
west or western states. Nitrogen Is
usually the element of plant food
which is lacking, and this is also far
more costly than any other elements
of plant foods. The supply OF avail
able nitrogen fertilizer, namely so
dunn nitrate is decreasing very rapid
~ while the demand is increasing. In
this way the fertilizer bill OF American
farmers will in few years be some
thing enormous unless some new
method is developed.
The principle part played by bac-
terra in soil fertility is the gathering
of this much needed nitrogen and con-
verting it into form available for
plant food.
Factors Aiding Bacteria.
Some OF the factors which aid the
bacteria in this work are: the add
ton Of manure which adds not only
plant food but large numbers of these
bacteria; the addition OF lime to cor.
rect the acidity in acid soils as these
bacteria cannot work In an acid me-
dunn; the proper stirring of the soil
which gives oxygen and sufficient
aeration, and lastly: the growing of
legume crops which is perha1A the
greatest aid of any Of the above men
toned factors in securing nitrogen for
plant food.
Time For Results.
The greatest difficulty encountered
in this work Is the fact that it takes
two or three years and series of
crops to show any marked improve
ment in soil, but it is to be hoped
that it will reach state of develop
ment where soil will show marked
improvement in one year and thus
take the place of the heterogeneous com
mercial fertilizers.

Ten Reasons For a SiIo.

/. The maximum OF forage crops
can be saved for livestock feeding
purposes.
2 Forage crops in the form Of 81,
lage are eaten without waste.
- 3. The crop remains in a form
which is not only nutritious, but also
succulent and therefore. palatable.
4. The crop is stored in a conye.
nient place and In compact form.
About four times more dry matter In
forage crops can be stored in a given
space in the silo than by field curing
and storing in the NOW.
s. Making silage out of forage
crops Is the most economical way to
harvest them under all conditions.
6. The abundance of favorable
years can be stored to be utilized dur.
ing years of scarcity.
Z. The silo makes abundant succu.
lent forage possible the year round.
5. The addition of silage to the ra,
ton improves the whole ration.
9. The cost of the ration Is ma,
terially reduced by the feeding OF ST.
lage with all classes of livestock.
TO- The silo makes it possible to
keep livestock on every farm This
means diversified farming and the
growing of forage crops which are the
surest crops.

The RcttIna of Peaches.

There is much trouble from Brown
rot Of peaches this season, and it Is
possible by prompt action to save a
part of this damage by spraying the
crop with self-boiled lime sulphur or
with sulphur paste. The self-boiled
lime sulphur is perfectly safe if made
strictly according to the directions
given in Bulletin ia of the Arkansas
Experiment Station. II cooked too
long it may injure the foliage of the
tree and thereby endanger the crop
The sulphur paste can be bought in
this state under the name of atomic
sulphur. There Is an agency at Rog-
