Hardwoods Easier to Remove.
Most hardwoods decay SO hat they
can easily be removed within ten years
from the time of logging, provided the

pine and fir stumps, on the other

Their main roots will remain sound a
lifetime. The small roots of any
stump will decay in a few years and

stumping is reduced.
Often it is best to stump the field
partially rather than to attempt to get

many smaller ones, it might be advis-

for example, in many Southern local
artificial inoculation for cow
peas is unnecessary and in sections OF
the middle West bacteria which thrive
on the roots Of clover and alfalfa are
already present.
Artificial incubation can he accom-
plished by spreading soil from a we'll
established field, where the particular
leguma which is to be grown has been
successful. upon the new land to be
planted with that legume, and also by
the use of pure cultures Of the prop
err bacteria. The United States de-
partment Of agriculture Is prepared to
supply enough Of the pure culture to
%inoculate one bushel of seed. and this
culture can be obtained In bottles
which contain complete directions for
use. Application blanks for these cul-
lures may be obtained from the depart
ment ut Washington, d. C. Pure cul-
ture can also be obtained, either free
or at small cost. from the various ex-
pertinent stations.
Too much attention cannot be given
to the preparation Of the field for legu-
minous crops. In a well-prepared seed
bed the young plants get the best start
and the necessary bacteria will thrive
Sour soils hinder and often entirely
prevent the development Of the bene-
fetal soil organisms. To remedy this
condition an application OF lime Is nec-
ssary Any kind Of lime may be used
to advantage, but usually finely ground
limestone Is applied.
When a field is known to contain the
bacteria suitable for a certain legume
crop-for example, alfalfa-shown by
the presence Of numerous nOdules upon
the roots Of alfalfa plants growing
there. the soil is desirable for the in
oculation OF other fields upon which
alfalfa is to be sOwn for the first time.
Such soil, well sifted, can readily be
applied to the new field through the
fertilizer attachment on a drill. Two
hundred pounds or more of sifted Held
soil will be sufficient for an acre and
Is best applied through the hoes.
Broadcasting the soil by hand will re-
quire a larger quantity and Is best
done In the early morning, late eve

For the most successful growth OF

If a burned stump is to be removed by

necessary. With the unburned stump

Stump With Sound Top.
1t also requires less power to pull a
portion OF a stump with a sound top
than a similar portion without such
Il top, because Of the greater leverage
which can be obtained by hitching at
the top. When the top of a stump is
decayed and the roots are still sound.
it is as hard to remove al n burned
to the ground.
Tap-roOted stumps that cannot be
burned in the ground may be pulled
entire or shattered with dynamite and
pulled, or else blasted clear Of the
ground by explosives. II blasted, the
dynamite would best be placed In q
hole bored In the tap root. When an
electric blasting outht is used good
work can be done by placing charges
on opposite sides Of the tap root and
firing simultaneously.
