Without the existence of nodules on the roots legumes do not grow Well, and, if they did, they would be no more valuable; than nonleguminous plants for feeding purposes, because no nitrogen would be gathered from the air to build protein in the plants. Potash and phosphorus are not taken from the air, but, because of the great depth to which legumes send their numerous roots, these two essentials for plant growth are brought to the surface and made available for other crops with less root system. The final value of the legume as a fertilizer is brought about by the decaying of the many fibrous roots, which process adds humus to the soil. Humus is not a fertilizing element but its value is physical in that it loosens the particles of earth and permits the air to enter, warms the soil and adds to its moisture-retaining efficiency. Great as are these values, much of the advantage gained by raising legumes is lost if they are sold in their raw state, for, although they leave as much nitrogen in the soil as is removed by the stems, each ton sold off the farm carries with it much potash and phosphorus taken from the earth. To be most valuable they must be fed to livestock, and the manure returned to the land. In the feeding of the legume the direct value becomes apparent, for the very nitrogen stored in the plant represents the protein which is the costly nutrient that is so essential in balancing rations, and the necessary nutrient from which bone, muscle, blood, hair, horns, and the proteids of milk are made. The legume is the only plant which can be grown upon the farm to eliminate or even lessen the necessity of purchasing high-priced commercial...
