SOY BEAN ROOTS SHOWING TUBERCLEs
far as known, had never before borne
soy beans. not single tubercle was to
be found.
Just why the tubercles should not ap-
pear the first year and should appear
In large numbers the second is not at
present easy to explain, but the fact Is
important as offering an explanation
of the disappointment which some
farmers experience with the plant.
Planting a second season on the same
land appears to be necessary to get the
soy bean at work as a nitrogen fixer.
In soils deficient in combined nitrogen
the crop is at first likely to languish
because of failure to develop root nod
ules.
The nodules can be grown artifcially
the first season. 1t was demonstrated
In our plots in 1901 that the tubercles
can be grown in great numbers on the
roots of soy beans by the use of pure
cultures of the tubercle bacteria.-H.

A MAN WITH A HOE.
And How He Uses 1t on Cabbage.
The Philosophy of IL.

The Philosophy of IL.
The usual practice among farmers
and market gardeners is to give their
cabbage three hoeings and three cult
vatings, the cultivatlng always pre-
ceding the hoeings. Under good ma
nuring, with good seed and the land
in good condition and average season,
this insures a crop. But sometimes
the land is in overgrown condition.
The accumulation of plant food left
over by preceding crops is something
we did not know and therefore could
not figure on. This added to the usual
manuring has jumped the cabbage
ahead so fast that soon after their sec
ond hoeing they promise to mature
their heads earlier than we planned
for. In such case we stop right there
with our second hoeing.
The wisdom of this is apparent as
soon as we get to the philosophy of
hoeing cabbage Why do we hoe cab
bage? The first and often the second
hoeing is mostly weed killing process,
but the third, as | understand 1t, Is
really root pruning process. by which
we throw the plant into bud Tor head
just as we create bud development in
a tree by trimming in its branches
above ground or its roots below
ground. If. on the contrary, our cab
bage land is lacking in condition, then
1t needs extra hoeing and cultivating
in the early stage of the crop, both
to capture nitrogen from the air and to
help the roots in their search for food.
The presence of twitch grass makes
another good and sufficient reason for
an extra hoelng, for while that thrives
no other crop can. Don't cut off the
grass with the hoe or by the costly
work Of digging it out, but hoe often
and cover the young shoots with three
inches of soil, and | will warrant from
experiences that it will end its life
with the season. Where cabbage gets a
had setback, as during dry season,
do not hoe Immediately after the rains
come, but wait few days until the
nearly paralyZed roots have got new
start or new set has put QUIT. j. II.
