Plant Peas on
^ Stubble Land
(Texas Industrial Congress.)
The following advice from Colonel
Exall, relative to restoration of the
lands upon which small grain crops
huve been grown through the planting
of soil-building legumes was given to
the press several years ago. ft ii on.
pecially timely just now and the con-
gress urges the fanners and asks the
fanners' friends to urge that this ad
vice be followed wh( revcr possible.
The small grain crop of the state is
now being harvested. If the land is
allowed to He idle it will very soon be
covered with weeds that will go to
seed and greatly increase this nuis-
ance next year. If it hus no crop on
it with roots to protect and hold the
soil together, and the season, is ex-
cessively wet, it will waste from wash-
ing and thus lose a large amount of
its soluble plant food. If the ground
soil and rapidly transform it Into ni-
trates suitable for plant food.
It has been estimated that where
conditions are favorable and the soil
hag been thoroughly inocplated with
bacteria from growing peas, beans,
alfalfa, or some other leguminous
crop, that the nitrogen brought into
the land annually from this source
could not be purchased for loss than
120 to> $30 per acre. As| nitrogen is
absolutely essential to plant growth
and Is one of the most expensive of
the mineral plant foods, it should be
dear to every one that’it is infinitely
more profitable to grow leguminous
rover-Crops than other crops of the
same weight that return just as much
humus to the soil but do not draw nit-
rogen from the atmosphere.

How About a
County Fair?
............
(L. A, Markham, in Farm & Ranch.)
Are you thinking of having a county i
fair this fall? Huve you ever stopped I
to think earnestly, seriously, what.it
would mean to every productive in-1
dustry in your county that is1 related i
to the tilling of the soil, and to every
line of your community’s business
that i» dependent upon the labor of
"the man with the hoe?” Think qf|

expect that what th- Texas State fair
