FALL SEEDING OF

fSl-t ALT A S1O
 For the fall seeding of alfalfa it is well 10 remember that this crop diff fers from most others by having bac- teria living in nodules on it's roots. Supplying these bacteria to the plant is what is meant by inoculation. Where the crop has never been grown, the bacteria are not usually present, or only in such small num- bers that it is necessary to supply them. Experiments by the Missouri College of Agriculture have proved that most soils will be benefited by inoculation. The few bacteria nat urallv present or carried into the field by chance spread so slowly that the plants are usually killed by weeds be- fore they can profit by the bacteria and outgrow the weeds. For this req son it is good pra actice to inoculate and heln the plants start vigorously by giving them bacteria, rather than trust to chance. Through these bac- teria the plants can feed on the nitrogen of the air as well as that of the soil

FORAGE FOR HAPPENING LAMBS.

Red clover nay is considered the best forage for fattening lambs in the east, while alfalfa is preferred in the west. Feeding tests at the Montana station resulted in placing alsike clover ahead of either of these hays for fattening lambs, but the range of growth and yield of this crop is not so great as either alfalfa or red clover Lambs fatteend on clover alone with" out any grain whatever at the Mon tana station gained S.1 pounds per head per month.
 At the Ontario Agricultural college clover and alfalfa possessed about equal feeding values for sheep.
 At the Nebraska station lambs fed alfalfa hay and grain made 52 per cent better gains than like lambs fed the same grains and prairie hay. When sorghum was substituted for prairie bay the lot fed alfalfa made 72 per cent. better gains. In these tests the lambs on both prairie hay and sCRs hum were fed at a profit.
 At the Wyoming station where al- lalfa was compared with native hay as a roughage for fattening lambs fed like grain rations, the lambs on alfalfa made g per cent better gains than the lambs on native hay. Stated
 
 produced 416 pounds of mutton while an acre of alfalfa produced 1,756 pounds
 Alfalfa hay also gave about 04 per cent. better results at the Montana station than grain hay made up of a mixture of equal parts of wheat, bar ley, oats and peas cut in the milk stage. The latter hay, however, proved but little inferior tc clover for fatten- ing purposes.
 The Farmers Cyclopedia of Agricul- ture says cowpeas are the great leguminous crop of the south. and in that section of the country take the place of alfalfa and red clover. The experiment stations have reported but one feeding experiment. with sheep wit hthis crop. in which, at the West Virginia station, it was shown to be much superior to timothy.

4 LEANING THE POTATO CELLARS

TlS V n " VI -
 Clean the potato cellars now. as it is nearly harvest time, says the agro- nomy department of the Agricultural college. This is no time to allow losses by rot in storage, much of which can be prevented by getting rid Of vegetable matter in the storage cellar, sweeping and brushing until the cellar is clean, then apply thorough dose of fungiode, either gas or spray.
 One of the quickest and easiest dis infectants to apply is formaldehyde gas. The use of this, however, de- pends upon having or being able 10 obtain a supply of potassium perman xanate. The usual formula is to use five ounces of the permanganate and ten ounces of formaldehyde to eacn 1 GOO cubic feet in the cellar. Four the formalin over the permanganate ln deep container and then leave the cellar immediately, because the gas IS given off at once. Of course, 1t IS necessary to close all windows ana doors to make the gas effective.
 Remembering. however, that the permanganate is not only hard to get but is costing now nearly ten times as much as in pre-war times, subst1- ute is suggested in the form Of Bor- deaux mixture of 5-5-50 strength. This is quite satisfactory and effective. does not cost so much, and can be applied, of course, with a sprayer, pump or broom.
 The importance of a clean cellar must not be overlooked Time, money and work spent in growing a crop, fighting pests and harvesting are like ly to be at least partially wasted if the potatoes are stored in dirty, poorly ventilated cellars and are affected by organisms that cause rotting.
 There is perhaps no way to esti- mate the actual money lost due to neglect and uncleanliness in potato cellars. One must consider not only the waste of potatoes themselves but also the high price of bags in which they are sometimes left, the cost of handling unmarketable and worthless refuse and the lowered market value of the potatoes left to be put on sale. Things to eat are valuable and after all the effort that has been made to increase food production there seems to be little or no excuse for overlook ing the simple precautions that will help to conserve our supply of food

Sir Eric Geddes, first lord OF the

Josephus Daniels, American secretary
OF the navy, and him. Daniels wrote:
"Your references to the splendid
