Soil Should Be Neutral.

The soil should be neutral In order
that the alfalfa bacteria may thrive,
and unless the soil conditions are gen
orally good it is impossible to grow
alfalfa on a commercial scale.
Quite commonly the farmer secures
his incubation material from an old
sweet clover or bur clover field or else
from an old alfalfa sod. applying the
inOculated soil on cloudy day or dur
ing the evening in order that the al
falfa bacteria may not be injured by
the bright sunlight. Investigations
have shown, however that there Is
less danger Of permanently iniuring
the alfalfa bacteria by sunlight than
was formerly supposed, and although

NoduIes Are Essential.
II IS essential that the soil. II taken
from old alfalfa fields. should be from
those plots where the alfalfa plants
show numerous nodules Ipon their
roots. Such soil, well dried. pulver-
lied. and sifted through a window
screen is best applied TO the new field
through the fertilizer attachment OF
n grain drill. by the use Of lime
spreader followed by 4 smoothing har-
row, or by distributing It with the
aid Of an end gate sower attached TO
a wagon box. Two hundred pounds

The glue method OF incubation was
widely practiced several years ago in
Illinois. II consists of moistening the
alfalfa seed with ordinary furniture
glue and then sprinklng inocuated
soil over IL SO that the soil will adhere
to the seed and carry the bacteria on
to the new field. Specifically. this
method consists In dssolving two
