TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THEPLANTE
Feeding Alfalfa.
J. T. C., of Charlottesville, Va.t
writes: "Will you kindly give me instruetions
as to method of preparing
land for alfalfa, time to sow seed, how
to fertilize, cto. My land is well drained
creek land which has been cropped
with corn, wheat and grass iu rotation
for a number of years."
Answer: With the rotation practiced
011 your farm, your land should coutain
a fair amount of nitrogen, and u fair
amount of vegetable matter, and if it <
has been in a hoed crop the past year,
should be comparatively free of weeds
and grass, an important consideration
where alfalfa is to be seeded.
Alfalfa is a comparatively delicate ,
plant during the tirst year of its
growth, and it is often reported to have
failed in a community, when it has
I simply been choked out with weeds.
It is thus important to have the land
clean before using alfalfa. Summer
following constitutes an excellent
method of preparing land for alfalfa.
It is important that you seed the alj
faifa as soon as possible: in fact, It
would have been better if it could huve
been seeded before the tirst of ScpI
tember. It is comparatively little
j trouble to seed it in the fall. It is ;
advisable to use about twenty pounds
of well selected seed, and it is iiupor
tant that you tost the seed to ascertain
if it will germinate, before sowing it.
A line seed bed should be prepared
by plowing and harrowing, and if the
sub-soil is tenacious, it will often be
advisable to sub-soil, because the alj
falfa plant has a tap root which strikes
down deeply into the soil. The ability
of alfalfa to remain on the land for a 1
i number of years is due to the wonderful
development of its root system,
and hence every effort should he made
to prepare the soil so as to encourage
root growth.
Alfalfa is a legume and has the
power of the other legumes of extracting
nitrogen from the air through tlie
bacteria which live in certain nodules
which develop on its roots. As a rule,
these nodules are not present in the
soil, and therefore artificial inoculation
becomes necessary in order to en-1
sure their rapid growth and develop-1
meat. 1'nless the bacteria are present.
the nodules will not form, and
nlfalla will draw on any nitrogen there
may be in the soil until it i* exhausted,
and then dwindle away and die.
Inoculation may be accomplished in.
several ways. lVrliaps the most prae-1
1 !<*a 1 is to secure a hundred pounus
of well inoculated soil from a lield
where alfalfa lias grown for several
years. First mix this with the seed,
ami supply broadcast or with a drill.
A Thompson barrel seeder is a good
implement to use, and the alfalfa may
then he covered with a weoder. Alfalfa
seeded this fall can then bo topdressed
to advantage with farmyard
manure in the spring, or a moderate
application of nitrate of soda may be
used, if farmyard manure is not available.
The advantage of seeding alfalfa in
the fall arises from the fact that it
can be cut for hay the next summer,
whereas, if needed in the spring, it has

throughout ihe lirst season of its
growth, and should only he clipped and
not cut for hay. The clipping is to
destroy weed growth and stimulate
root development.--Trof. Soule.
)>rtiliz?r< For GraM.
T. D. *M., Martin, Tenn., writes:
"What is good for timothy and herds
grass to make it grow? For the past
few years my grass has done very little
good. The land has been in use for
about eighteen years in grass, tobacco
and some peas. The soil evidently
needs something anu hope you can tell :
me what it is.
Answer: tlrass when removed from
the land and sold off the farm is quite
an exhaustive crop; more so than one <
would ordinarily suppose, and^tlie continued
growing of grass on your land j
has probably exhausted the soil of I
available plant food, which accounts <
for the low yields now obtained. Each
ton of timothy removed from the land i
takes 23.2 pounds of nitrogen, 1U.C :
pounds of phosphoric acid and IS
pounds of potash. Each ton of red top 1
removed from the laud takes 23 pounds 1
of nitrogen, 7.8 pounds of phosphoric i
acid and 20.4 pounds of potash. The i
supply of available plant food in any |
soil at a given time is generally not <
very large; hence you see that the draft ]
on your land through the period of I
years mentioned in your letter by grass i
and other crops -would be very heavy. I
In order to get the grass to grow again :
it will be necessary for you to put i
some crop on tLe land during the pres- |
ent year that will tend to build it up. i
For that purpose there is nothing bet- I
ter than eow peas, which should be :
sown as soon as possible. You might I
cut one crop for hay and let the balance 1
grow until the lirst of September, when :
it eould be plowed under, the land :
rolled and compacted to form a seed 1

bed and the grass and clover seeded at
the rate of 'Jo pounds per acre. Before
seeding the grass it will be well to
make an application of 200 pounds of |
per cent, acid phosphate per acre I
and 100 pounds of muriate of potash,
as grass draws heavily in the potash of
the soil. These two fertilizing constituents
may be mixed together and
applied broadcast or sown with a drill
whichever is most convenient. When
the grass comes up a light application
of nitrate of soda will prove very beneticial,
say 50 pounds per acre. The
next spring when the growing season
opens up apply nitrate of soda again
at the rate of 50 pounds per acre. If
you have a supply of farmyard manure
and could top dress the meadow next
fall or spring it would be an excellent
plan.
If your land grew grass well once, its j
failing to do so now is directly attributable
to the heavy draft on the
soil which the crops grown have made.
If you will put enough fertilizing material
back on your soil and rotate
your crops so as to keep the land In
good condition and let one crop supplement
the other as in a rotation, you
should have no difficulty in again
growing grass.?Andrew M. Soule.

Gran* For Overflowed Land# ,
0. .S. K.. Martin, Tenn.. write* "Is
there any grass I can plant on overflowed
land for grazing that wili beat
Bermuda? Does Bermuda fatten stock (
equal to any other kind? Will white
clover grow on lands that are overflowed
at short intervals in fall and !
winter? When is the best lime to sow
alfalfa?"
Answer by Professor Soule: Trobably
the very best grass you ean utilize for
overflowed kind is red top, as it grows
better in moist situations than any
other cultivated grass, and does not
mind "wet feet." as the saying goes,
while such grasses as orchard grass,
t;ill n:it <rrass and others would be
killed out oil this kind of land. Bermuda
grass would not lie injured by
overilow during the season when it is
dormant, though during the growing
season it might hurt it somewhat, hut
it is a pretty hardy grass and would,
as a rule, recover unless buried very
deeply under the mud or subjected to a
prolonged overflow. Bermuda grass
will carry about the same weight of
stock as any other grass. While it limy
not be quite so nutritious as some
grasses, it is very nearly quat to blue
grass. In fact, many who have compared
the two side by side in a practical
way. claim superiority for the Bermuda.
but it must be borne in mind
that a good many of those comparisons
were made in sections of the country
where blue grass docs not reach its
perfection. However, Bermuda is an
excellent grass for grazing purposes
and will carry a large amount of stock
for several months of the year, and it
will certainly hold the soil and prevent
washing.
Alsike clover would probably be better
on bottom lands subject to overflow
than white clover, as it is very muck
like red top in respect to moist soil!.
Of course, alsike would grow fairlf
well oil soils of only moderate fertility
and that get comparatively dry at cer
tain seasons of the year, but it does
best of all on low moist bottom lands.
it is as sausiaciory iur pmposes
as white clover and wiii make a
much stronger giowlh ou favorable
soils.
How to Make the Best Wheat.
Select soil with humus enough in ft
to keep surface from packing and
baking after rains. There should be
sand or silex enough to make the
straw .stiff. The land should bo broken
eight to twelve inches deep and harrowed
until the soil is well pulverized.
An acre of land would require about
sue hundred pounds of ammonia, fortyfour
pounds of potash and thirty-four
pounds of phosphoric acid to make
tifty bushels of wheat, including straw*
and chaff. Most of land used for
these prize crops have nearly nitrogen
enough for a wheat crop. If too
much is applied there will be failure. 1
We knew a farmer who applied eighty
bushels of cottonseed to an acre of
land that was fairly good. He made
nothing but straw, and that would
not stand up. We suggest that on a
good pea stubble, or land with plenty
if liumus, that no ammonia be applied
when wheat is sown. Let the
farmer apply seventy-five pounds of
nutriate of potash and 1500 pounds of
fourteen per cent, acid phosphate. If
ammonia is needed to start a rapid
growth, mix fifty to seventy-five
pounds of nitrate of soda, or '200
aC nnttAncooil tnnol It will liA

Jiul run a smoothing harrow over it
before sowing wheat. In March if the
