an admitted fact by ordnance experts
that our guns. AS they arc now mount

1T is also true that the guns in the

STOP SOIL DRAIN
Loss of Organic Matter Is Seri-
GUS, Says X. s. A. c.
Growing of Alfalfa Recon-
mended as Good Remedy.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. IAN
enormous loss of organic matter from
the soil is the most serious problem
in soil fertility which now confronts
Kansas farmers, according to c. O.
Swanson, associate professor of agri-
cultural chemistry and associate
chemist in the agricultural experiment
station, who has personally taken
samples ard analysed representative
types of soils.
"Results based on analysis of cul-
tivated and uncultivated soils in seven
representative counties show that the
cultivated soils have lost from 1900
to 800 pounds of nitrogen and from
32,40 to 1880 pounds of organic
matter per acre in the surface soil,
says Professor Swanson. 1T means
in round numbers that these soils have
lost from one-fifth to two-fifths OF
the nitrogen. and from nearly one
fourth to One-haIf of the original or
Kansas have lost on the average more
than one-third of their original stock
Of organic matter. The seriousness of
this situation cannot be overestimated.
Stock Raising Not Cure.
More live stock is mentioned by
some persons as the panacea for all
soil troubles. If raising more live
stock by itself was the cure, then a
typical live stock county, where more
grain is fed than raised, should not
HiAON AAlio uttIteot III CIOp
Butler is such a county and in the
period between 1872 and 1891, the
average production of corn was 50
bushels per acre. and in the period,
1S92-1911, the average was 26 bush
els.
In addition to returning the or
ganic materials in the form of straw
and farm manures, some substances
must be added which restores the
nitrogen removed in grain. A bushel of
corn takes one pound of nitrogen, and
bushel of wheat one and one-third
pounds.
THE best method for obtaining this
nitrogen Is by growing legUmes. such
as alfalfa. But this nitrogen will not
be restored to the soil if all the hay
IS exported from the farms. Some of
the best agricultural investigators are
or the opinion. based on scientific ex-
perimentation, that legumes on the
average take only as much nitrogen
from the air as is found in the hay.
Therefore, the growing of alfalfa,

problem of soil fertility any more

ulity is wasted on the banks of a ra-
