WHEN ALFALFA GETS THIN

Alfalfa does not always do we'll. II
gets thin. Chick weed or ONE similar
weed takes possession Of the bare
spots and makes other places bare by
its crowding. What can be done?
At the University Farm, Knoxville
grass was seeded in the thin fields
Several grasses we're tried. About 3
bushel of seed to the acre was used
The grass did we'll, particularly the
orchard grass which was able to fight
the chick weed successfully. Tai
meadow oat grass did not do so we'll
but where timothy was seeded heavily
the chick weed was held in check.
The resulting double crop of grass
and alfalfa is preferred by some feed
ers. In Kansas and Nebraska, where
bronze grass and alfalfa cOme without
effort, it is quite common for the farm
ers to allow the two crops to grow in
the same field at the same time. TIT
double crop is fed to live stock, and
some say that the stock relish 1t much
better than they do either the clear
grass or alfalfa. When market hay is
to be sold the two crops are grown
separately.
In Tennessee, however, 1t Is advisa
BILE to sow grass in alfalfa only wher
the alfalfa gets thin. Then it does
much good.

HARDWOOD ASHES TAKE
THE PLACE OF Potash
Must Be Protected From Rain or Most
of the FeFtilizing Elements Will
Ee Washed Out.

(By C. e. Alfred, Division Of EXten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Since the beginning Of the European
wal it has been almost impossible to
get potash for use as fertilizer be
cause heretofore we got our supply
from the potash beds of Germany. The
United States Government is now
searching for other deposits, OF for
some method of manufacturing potash
from such waste products as seaweed.
In the meantime some farmers already
have a good substitute near at hand.
Urleached hardwood ashes are fine
ahd should be used in all cases where
they can be had. One thousand pounds
Of hardwood ashes contain about so
pounds of potash, ) pounds of phos-
phorous and 500 pounds of lime, before
they are leached. II the ashes are per
mitted to stand in the rain before ap-
plying, at least four-ffths of The potash
will leach out and be lost. One-ifth
Of the lime will be lost also.
In the early history of manuring
wood ashes we're practically the only
semi-artifcial method of fertilizing
They contain plant food in a form
which is Immediately available to the
crops, and the lime present always
has a good effect on the physical con-
dition of the soil.

FOR MORE CL0vERS
Three States Believe Legumes Will
Help Their Soils and Work Actively
for, Greater Plantings.

Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee
have joined hands in a movement for
the enrichment of the soils Of the
three states. Each state would grow
more legumes. Tie bankers and bust

of the following agencies: The United

Education, Farmers Organizations,
Farm Bureaus of Memphis and Little
Rock. Bankers Organizations, Bust
ness Mems Organizations, Merchants,
Agricultural Departments of all the
Railroads. the Press, Rural Churches,
Women's Clubs.
The printed information concerning
the growing of legumes is available
to any one in the state. Every one is
urged to put out at he's It a small patch
of legumes. Try some crimson clover,
which will act as a cover crop, prevent
ing the washing of the land, and which,
when plowed under in the spring, will
enrich the soil.
The entire LeGume Campaign is
based upon the fact that legumes will
do what other plants will not do.
