As a result of last year's attack of crown or root rot, many alfalfa flelds are showing areas where the plants have died out entirely.

We have stored potatoes, apples, and In fact most all the crops which require cool storage In pits or barrels in a well-drained place in the garden very successfully, and aside from the slight difficulty of getting them out during the winter, we have had no reason whatever to complain of this method of storage. Four Important Factors Governing Alfalfa Crop There are about four factors which usually govern the growth of alfalfa ~drainage, Inocuation, limestone and phosphate. Without deep drainage, al- falfa cannot extend its roots deep enough to make heavy growth or to continue Its growth through a dry sea. son. Without inoculation, the alfalfa cannot secure enough nitrogen to make a maximum growth. On solls which are rich in organic matter more nitro gen can be taken from the soll, but there is almost no soll rich enough in humus and nitrogen for alfalfa to make a heavy growth without being able to secure some alr nitrogen by means of inoculation, Kill Mites and Lice Cylinder oll and kerosene mixed and sprayed in the chicken house will keep the mites away, but it will hard: Iy have any effect on the body lee For these use sodium flourlde or good louse powder, forcing it through the long feathers that cover the abdomen In that place It will get all the lee in a very short time, This treatment should be repeated In about ten days in order to kill the lice that are hutched during that period.
