Green Manure As Fertility Help In Soil Farming
Extension soils specialist explains green manuring to boost soil organic matter and fertility. Legume crops like red clover and alfalfa fix atmospheric nitrogen with nodules, while non legume crops such as rye and barley feed soil nutrients but rely on existing soil nitrogen.

Soluble Potash Is Most Available in Manures

Prevention Found for Damping Off Disease
Dr. W H Martin of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station warns farmers of damping off in seed beds and outlines controls. Sterilize or replace soil, avoid crowding plants, prevent overwatering, and maintain proper air moisture and ventilation.

Alfalfa Proves Excellent Roughage for Horses
Horse expert A L Harvey from the St Paul University Farm says alfalfa hay offers superior palatability and protein, making it a valuable balance for grain rations. He notes fears about kidney stress or heaves are unfounded when fed in proper amounts, recommending no more than 1.25 pounds per 100 pounds of body weight and suggesting substituting half of Timothy or prairie hay with alfalfa for best results.
