REGARDING SOIL.

Manhattan, Kans.-Well drained,
rich soil-rich especially in nitrogen
containing no lime and free from
acidity, is essential to successful
alafalfa rails ings, points out the agro-
nomy department, of the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Poor soil may be made capable of
growing alfalfa by using manure or
blowing under sweet clover, and
acidity may be corrected by using
crushed limestone. A fairly rich
soil, insufficient in ntiroen but 9TH
erwise good alfalfa land, may be in
noculated with the proper nitrogen
fixing bacteria so that all require
ments are fulfilled.
The soil may be inoculated by
what is known as the pure culture
method or by spreading from 200 to
800 pounds of the top soil of an old
alfalfa field on each acre of the new
field and narrowing thoroughly a
day or so before planting. The pure
culture method is simply process
of pouring liquid containing the
proper bacteria over the seed before
its is planted. In this process the
seed is moistened and then dried as
soon as possible.
When the seed is planted the bac-
terra from either source act in the
same way. When the soil becomes
moist enough, the bacteria begin to
grow and soon they enter the roots
of the young alfalfa seedlings and
form nodules in various places.
While the bacteria are growing in
these nodules they take nitrogen
from the air in the soil and when
they die the decayed matter of their
bodies makes the nitrogen available
to their host and other plants.
The time of seeding which assures
the best results with the least ex-
pense and which fits best into crop
rotation in Kansas is early fall. A
small grain stubble plowed shallow
and worked down after every rain
should furnish the best seeded OBJ
tainable, for it is firm beneath and
has sufficient loose soil on top to
cover the seed well and give the
young plants foothold. After a
rain the weed seeds sprout and are
killed when this method of seeded
preparation is pursued.
" From 2 to Is pounds per acre OF
good home grown seed should be
planted any time between August
Is and September 25 when suitable
planting conditions arise.

CAMP BOVINE. Fort Worth,
Texas, Oct. Years ago, when
dueling was still a popular occu-
patton In the southwest, knives
were weapons almost as much
used as six-shooters.
One Texan invented a particu-
larly effective duelling knife. I'm
trifie hazy about Col. Bowie
other claims to fame.
But I'm certain he'll be remem-
bered because Camp Bowie and
the Bowie knife bear his name.
AS the knife was efficient, so the
Texas and Oklahoma guardsmen
training here seem eminently
good fighting material.
Camp Bowie has a soldier
type all its own-men long,
lean and sun-browned; rang
ers and cowboys and oil well
drillers. There are many In
thians from Oklahoma, too.
