Two Tons of Roots

Alfalfa improves soil conditions very
rapidly because Of it's huge root system
which penetrates much more deeply
than any other legume. Alfalfa roots
remaining in the soil increase the hui
mus content and add supplies of nitro
gen and other plant foods. The roots
seem to improve the physical proper
ties of the soil. This improvement is
particularly noticeable on heavy soil.
The penetration Of, the roots into the
subsoil permits the entrance of air and
water. DR.. G. J. Willard of the Ohio
State university found that the aver
age weight of alfalfa roots per acre in
six field tests was two tons. A good
crop of alfalfa will leave 125 pounds
Of nitrogen, % pounds of phosphoric
acid and 40 pounds Of potash in the
soil. This is about twice the amount
of plant nutrients that are contained in
ton of ordinary fertilizer. 1t ]. is
twice as much plant food as red or
Alsike clover leaves in the soil and te3
times as much as is. deposited in the
soil by crop of soy beans.

Green Strip Plan Halts
Loss of Valuable Soil

Some crops are enemies Of soil ero-
sion and other crops are allies. Some
crops protect and bind the soil and 9th
ers induce soil losses
According to the Soil Conservation
Service nearly all forage crops-such
as alfalfa the clovers, sudan grass, and
lespedeza-check soil washing and
blowing much more effectively than
such cash crops as corn, cotton, tobac-
co and potatoes.
The Soil Conservation Service is rec
ommending strip cropping to thousands
of farmers cooperating in it's 141 dem
onstration areas throughout the coun-
try. Strip cropping means planting
strips of growing, soil-protecting
crops on the contour between strips Of
clean-cultivated, soil-depleting crops.
Each close growing strip checks the
speed of water running down the slope.
The strips of protecting crops catch
the soil that washes away from clean
cultivated strips. Combined with ter
racing and terrace outlet drainageways,
strip cropping provides the best pro-
lection against cropland erosion in
many. regions.
Strip cropping also is effective in re-
tarding wind erosion. Close-growing
crops break the wind, and in addition
help build up fertility and conserve
moisture in the soil.
Strip cropping is comparatively new
in erosion-control procedure, but is be-
ing used on nearly all demonstration
projects in Al states.

Poisonous Plants

Live stock losses caused by poison.
GUS plants can be reduced if care is
taken to keep live stock on pastures
that will furnish an adequate supply
of good grass. Avoid pasturing where
poisonous weeds may be more plentiful
than edible plants Care should be TAX
en- so as not to permit live stock to
have access to branches of trees of the
wild cherry that may have been broken
or cut down. Water hemlock and white
snakeroot should be destroyed. The
outstanding types of field weeds are
European bindweed, perennial SOW
thistle, quack grass and Canada thistle.
1t is worth while to keep a careful
lookout for new weeds. If they are
of the perennial type, growing from
both root and seed they should be
eradicated at once.-Rural New-York-

By combining from five to twelve

The big-team operators worked the
largest horses and mules and averaged
the greatest number of days of work
head in year, yet they cheapened
their horse cost by using less grain
and more pasture, legume hay, straw
and cornstalks. They turned their work
stock out on pasture at night and on
idle days in summer, and in winter
used legume hay to balance stalk fields
and straw stacks to make satisfactory
maintenance for horses
In farms studied in the survey, av-
erage amounts fed to work horse a
year were about 5000 pounds of grain,
mostly corn and oats, and 5000 pounds
of dry roughage, including considerable
straw and corn slower. In addition
the horses grazed about six months on
grass and stalk fields.

Presidential Vote May Total as >473 900
Analysis Registration Shows Election May Exceed
100000, 900 Cast in 1892.

(Copyrisht. 1885, by the Associated Press.)
An analysis Of the large registra-
tion increases being reported in prac-
tically every section indicated today q
possible record presidential vote of
about 45.473 900. The 1882 vote was
slightly below 40000,000.
Eligible voters may approximate S..
427 900 A comparison of the equiva-
lent total four years ago with the
actual vote cast showed that from l5
to 20 per cent Of those qualified did
not vote. In some States of the nor
mally Democratic South. the figure
ran as high as so per cent. This was
considered in the analysis.
States primarily used as basis for
the Associated Press compilation were
California, Montana, New Jersey, New
York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Georgia, Maryland, Nevada
and Washington. These are among
the few reporting official lists be-
fore the election. In each a record
registration has taken place, averag-
ing 16 per cent increase to date.
The States of President Roosevelt
and Gov. Landon are among the many
where record votes appear indicated.
As against less than 4,754 900 in 1882,
the New York total may run over
5,350,000. Some Kansas officials have
estimated an 100000 total there this
year, but application Of the national
averages to that State-where inter-
est is reported abnormally high
raised it to possible $4,000. The
last presidential vote in Kansas was
791, ,978.
Breakdowns indicated that increases
in populous centers exceed those in
rural areas. In New York State. for
example, a tabulation of 27 cities
reflected a 20 per cent jump. The
State was brought down to Is per
cent by rural figures.
New York City registrations alone
totals almost 100000, or more than
100000 over 1882. A II per cent
increase in Chicago put the total
over 100000, making possible a
vote approaching 100000 in the
State, or 100000 more than in the
Roosevelt Hoover contest.
San Francisco reported an increase
of $4,000 in major party listings for
$4,000 total; Los Angeles an in
crease of $4,000 for 794,00o total.
The st. Louis figure rose $4,000 to
almost 100000. An increase of more
than $4,000 in Boston made a 356, 900
total.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh ac-
counted principally for the Pennsyl-
vania registration increase, which may
approximate 100000 when the figures
are complete. The latest counts
showed more than $4,000 with the
major parties in Philadelphia, against
less than 640, 1000 in 1882, and $4,000
in Pittsburgh, against $4,000.

tonight, said one of his first acts in
the next Congress would be intro
duction of a new bill to regulate the
bituminous coal industry, which he
said he was certain would have the
sympathy and support of President
Roosevelt"
Referring to the coal law which the
Supreme Court held unconstitutional,
Guffey said it was bitterly fought by
the railroads, the public utilities, the
steel companies and by other men
who are now loudest in their praise of
Gov. Landon and who are using every
means in their power to secure his
election"
Critical of Landon's Record.
He said Landon was man whose
integrity he did not question. but
whose record as Governor of Kansas
"does not qualify him for election to
the most important Office in American
Government"
As a result of the bituminous coal
code which the President approved
under N. R. A.. Guffey said, there
came an agreement between coal OPP
orators and mine workers which re-
suited in establishment of minimum
rates of pay, maximum hours of labor
and a general improvement in work.
ing conditions.
Says Industry Stabilized.
"And the coal miners were not
the only ones to benefit" he added,
because, for the first time in more
than 10 years, the coal industry had
some degree of stability and a ma
tority of the coal operators were able
to conduct their business at least
without a heavy loss
After the Supreme Court declared
the N. r. A. unconstitutional, he said,
the bituminous coal industry began
to drift backward and had it not
been for the strong influence of the
United Mine Workers of America
and the effect of the agreement they
had made with the coal operators.
