To do this properly you must exer-

GREEk MANURE HELPS
 YUMA ALFALFA YIELD

Washington, D. C., Oct. II. The report of experiments conducted during the year on the Yuma reclamation pro- ject experiment farm, near Yuma, Arizona, shortly to be issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, devotes special attention to a discussion of the method of raising Durango cotton, and also discusses alfalfa and Sor- ghum culture in this region. One section of the report is devoted to Sudan grass, and there is mention of experi- ments with hemp, flax, and broom corn.
 The following advice on the use of green manures, taken from this report, should be of interest especially to al- falfa growers:
 One of the most important values of alfalfa is it's usefulness as a prep .aratory crop. It is the best green manure crop yet found when all pha- ses of it's benefits are considered. However. a stand of alfalfa is often difficult to establish on very light sandy areas or on spots in fields where heavy grading has exposed the sandy subsoil. Apparently, the diffi- culty experienced in establishing all falfa stands on these soils is not de ficiency of plant food but very ire gular moisture content of the soil. This condition has been found to De most economically improved by the addition of a summer green-manure of cowpeas. Cowpeas when planted in a good seed bed have produced on sandy soil approximately tons of green manure per acre. Alfalfa may then be seeded in the fall and become established for the following season.
 At the experiment farm the alfalfa yields have been increased 2 tons per acre by this culture. The field oper- ations of growing and blowing under this crop of cowpeas would cost not to exceed $4 per acre. If 2.3 acre-feet of water are applied to this crop at 50 cents per acre foot the water will cost $1.16. Cowpea seed has been bought f. O. b. Yuma at $S per hun dred pounds. If planted at the rate of 30 pounds per acre the seed would cost $240, making total cost of $7.56 per acre for the two extra tons of al falfa, which in 1914 when hay was the cheapest, was worth $12.10, netting a profit of $4.54 on the first years re- suits, as we'll as the residual effect on the soil. In an effort to determine the best varieties of cowpeas to be grown as summer green-manure crop, collection of five varieties was grown under comparable conditions for green-manure production and also tested for seed and hay production.
