VALUE OF ALFALFA
SHOWNbYRESULTS
New Jersey Farmer Has Been
Growing Crop Since 1895
With Great Success.

alfalfa is the greatest stun in the
world" says John p. Nelson, of neal
Allentown, n. j., who has been grow
ing alfalfa since 1895, and who now
has 1O5 acres of 1.-The finest in New
Jersey" 1t took Mr.. Nelson six years
TO get a good stand and to learn how
to grow the crop, but since 1901 he has
had no failures with it. He says:
alfalfa fails only when you don't
treat it right"
THE advantages of alfalfa are that
when you get stand of it, you don't
have to reseed every year. How often
! do not know, as | have some that
has been moved three times each year
for six years and it is getting better
right along. 1t makes the best kin6
of hay for all kinds of stock. Some OF
my horses eat it before they do theii
grain" declares Mr.. Nelson Cows
will give more milk when fed or
alfalfa hay than they will on fodder
corn. It's a grand thing for brood
sows. When fed alfalfa they Will keep
in fine condition on half the grain
they would use without it,"
THE kind of soil on which to grow
alfalfa, in my opinion, is a loan OF
reasonable fertility, where water will
not stand for any length of time. If
the ground is low, tile draining should
be done Pillow deep, use at least a ton
of lime per acre if the soil is sour, get
the best possible seed and inoculate
says Mr. Nelson. My farm has al
ways, until few years ago, had a COW
to the acre, furnishing lots of manure
This with 600 pounds of high grade
fertilizer, drilled in, supplies the food
for the growing plants. The same
amount is used each year as top dress
ing. If we didn't have so much
manure, more fertilizer per acre would
be needed"
THE best stand of alfalfa ever had
was ON u acres that had been in corn
two years in succession. The ground
was heavily MANFRED both years after
the corn was removed, and the usua
application of 600 pounds of fertilizer
applied In the spring, as early as
possible, | drilled in one and one-hali
bushels Canada field peas, cut them
green for COWS, and in August seeded
to alfalfa" explained Mr.. Nelson. He
believes that three cuttings are best il
New Jersey, but that four cuttings pei
year may be obtained through Mary
land and Virginia, at the same time
leaving good stand over winter.

STARTING CROPS ON THE JUMP
Good Seed And Seeded With Plenty
OF PIantfood Needed.

Starting alfalfa on the jump requires
that the seed bed be well prepared
and that the plants be given plenty OF
plant food Alfalfa requires a rather
compact seed bed. Its preparation de
ponds upon the preceding crop to a
great extent. When seeded after early
crops, such as potatoes. the need OF
summer following is eliminated and
the farmer gets a market crop during
the same season. The general prac
tice is to pillow the ground early, har.
row each week or ten days, until the
weeds are killed and the fine, firm bed
that is required is obtained. Many
farmers have received good stands by
seeding in the corn before the last
cultivation.
To secure quality seed, it is best to
test several different samples for pur
ity and vitality. Five to 20 pounds pei
acre are recommended by various sx.
pertinent stations. Often the best re
suits cannot be obtained without in.
octilation. Commercial cultures recon.
mended for alfalfa inoculatfen, car
be secured. Lime must be added
If the soil is sour. and from 2OG
to 500 pounds of a fertilizer high
in Hhosphoric acid should be applied
previous to or when the seed is sown

THE SUNDAY LAW
Did Not Interfere With Automobiles
900 Came Over Severn River
Bridge.

Yesterdays first enforcement of the
Sunday law according to the code, did
not interfere with automobiles coming
here over the Crothers boulevard, as
limited at by those who held the en-
forcement of the law up to ridicule.
Last Sunday, it was estimated be-
tween five add seven hundred automo.
biles passed over the Severn River
bridge, coming into Annapolis. Yes
erday by actual count there were nearly
900 cars that came here, 200 more than
on the previous Sunday. Up to
o'clock yesterday afternoon the bridge
keeper said about 900 cars had crossed
Severn River bridge coming into An
napolis.
Ii is true some of the automobile
parties may have come fere to see
the curious enforcement of hitherto
much abused Sunday law, that had
been held up to ridicule by the press
correspondents.

1t is the purpose of this letter ant
others to follow, to Indicate a few OF
the gross errors in the character OF
our usual food supply, and to suggest
means of %remedying these errors.
We will begin with the mineral
elements of foods, first, because
these are unquestionably the most
important items from the point of
view of health, and second, they are
the items most frequently ignored
in the dietary. If the system secures
adequate mineralizers it is, with most
OF US, more a matter of accident than
forethought. We hear much about
carbohydrates (starches, sugars, etc.
fats, and proteins, but extremely lit
tie about calcium (lime,) iron, potas-
SUM, phosphorus, magnesium, sod
lum, silicon, %fiuorine, iodine, chic
rlne, etc., as food constituents. Car
pohydrates, fats, and proteins when
used to the Exclusion of m%ineralizers

fact that 10000 children under
