LEGUMES LEAVE LIT TLE NITR06EN IF CUT Soybean* and Cowpcai Do Not Lear* Nitrofen ia Laad if Oaly Roota and Stubble Are Left. West Raleigh, N. C., June 19.? It ia a general opinion among a number of people that when cow peas and soybeans are grown |for iay. the atabble and roota of these :rops enrich the land in nitrogen, rhis ia an erroneoua auppoeition, lays Prof. M. E. Sherwin; especially f the crops are grown on rich land >r on land to which nitrogen has >een applied, as, under such condi ions, nearly the whole of th? nitro ren is taken from the soil and but ittle from the air. Furthermore, if the plants are rat in some way inoculated with the litrogen-gathering bacteria, no nit -ogen will be t^cen from the air, >ut it all must come from the soil. Tests made in Illinois with cow* >eas on land it which nitrogen was he limiting factor, showing that f3 per cent of the nitrogen was aken from the air; the remaining !7 per cent was taken from the oil. Soybeans grown in Wisconsin in rich soil secured only 14 per cent if their nitrogen from the air, the emaining 86 per cent from the oil. Statistics from the Delaware Ex leriment Station show that the roots >f cowpeas contain only 6 per cent >f the\ total nitrogen of the plant ind soybeans 6.5 per eent. The Visconsin and Michigan stations how that the roots of soybeans con ain 4 per cent of the total nitro ren. Hopkins says, fas * rule, he roots and stubble of these crops ontain less than 10 per cent of the otal nitrogen. Thus 90 per cent or nore is removed in the hayn#nd for he soil to be enriched in nitrogen nore than 90 per cent of this ele nent most be taken from the air. None of the above mentioned ests show that thia portion of nit ogen has been secured from the ir, even under the moat favorable onditions. On the contrary, more f thia element haa been removed rom the toil than the total contain d by the the root* and stubble, 'his leads to the conclusion that jowinjc these cropa for hay does lot enrich the land in nitrogen. Other legume cropa, which occupy he land longer and develop larger oot systems, leave a greater pro portion of their nitrogen in the roots nd may"enrich the soil in nitrogen ip to a certain point, even though he hay crop is removed. -'each Growing in This State The growing interest in peach >roduction in North Carolina and he resulting demands on the staff if the Agricultural Experiment Station for information in regaad to his matter has caused the Depart nent of Agriculture to issue "Peach Growing in North Carolina," bdl etin number 227 This bulletin rives some valuable facts in regard it. ? ?i ,u IIIC (II uuuvuuu, 1CI vniMUUii, cut* ;ivation, pruning, and spraying of jeaches. It alao point* the main facta in regard to successful peach production as found by the large commercial orchards in the State. The bulletin is extremely timely just now when a maximum crop teems to be set on the trees. It is mportant that this crop be kept without rotting or spoiling by the ittacks of ffisect enemies or fungus diseases so that it may be canned or Iried for further use as food. The bulletin may be obtained ,on request by any citizen of the State and further facts in regard to the peach industry may be had on application to the Division of (Horticulture, Department of Agriculture, Raleigh.
