clover bacteria, or vice versa. Where
such absence of bacteria occurs, the
proper thing to do is to introduce
them from an outside source and let
them multiply.
In the fall of 1901 some plots of
crimson clover, hairy vetch and al
falfa were sowed at the Experiment
Farm at Southern Pines on our ex-
treynely sandy soil and fertilized with
potash and phosphoric acid but were
not supplied with nitrogen nor was
any attempt made at that time to
inoculate the soil with bacteria ap-
propriate to these plants. The re-
suit was that the great majority of
plants were stunted and yellow and
showed every evidence of nitrogen
starvation and an examination of
their roots revealed the fact that
they were destitute of modules. Oc-
casional plants, however, showed
more vigor, grew to good size and
had the dark green color character
istie of plants which are well sup
piled with nitrogen; and on these
plants plenty of nodules we're found.
It was quite evident that the bac-
terra in our soil we're few and far
between; and though they might
multiply and fill the soil in the
course of a few years, we sought to
obtain quicker results by the process
of "inoculation."
The process" is very simple and
consists in getting soil from an old
field on which the desired crop has
been grown and which is known to
contain bacteria and Spreading it
broadcast over the new field.
To inoculate for crimson clover we
obtained soil from a field on which
rank growth of this crop had been
produced for several consecutive
years and in which bacteria were
known to exist.
We likewise obtained soil from an
old vetch field and an old alfalfa
field to inoculate for these two crops
respectively.
Not knowing the proper quantity
of soil to apply we decided to err, if
at all, on the liberal side and spread
it at the rate of two tons per acre
for each of the crops named.
The application was made the lat
ter part of August and the first SOW
ing of seed was on September 2nd,
and was followed by weekly sowings
until early in October.
The present appearance of these
plots is very encouraging, the inoc-
ulated plots being far ahead of the
uninoculated plots and examination
reveals "nodules" only on the inocu-
lated plots.

The first event of Importance of the
year is the visit to Ardmore on Sept.
IL OF the renowned Buckskin Bill with
his peerless troop of men Of all ma
tions, especially of the pioneers OF the
west and the interesting tribe of In
dians that are fast fading into history
as one of the most interesting of pri-
meval Americans.
His great wild west includes In
dians, cowboys, Mexicans, cossacks
from Russia, Gauchos from South
America, Arabs from the Great Des-
ert. and cavalry of the United States,
Germany, France and England. In ad'
dition there is a battery of artillery
with cannon carriages and other par
aphernalia and bands, including the
celebrated Harry Greigler Cowboy
band.
The young ladies of the plains in
their femhIhdDle llulhb e1iN SHSNNA''S
are a great novelty and win much ap
plause wherever they are seen.
The military tournamnt brings into
play the cavalry of many nations, in
cluding our own boys in blue, the
English, French, German and Mexican
cavalry, as well as Indians and COW
boys, enabling the spectator to com
pare them and judge of their respec
tive abilities as horsemen and fight
ers.
There is nothing about the exhibi
ton that is not entertaining in the
extreme to everybody, and the prom
ises are for the largest crowd that evei
gathered in Ardmore, to witness the
performance.

Bills arrival In it will be innumera

Despite the very general use OF steam,
the trade of ship rigging has remained
extremely profitable. OF late years
there has been an important revival of
the sailing vessel in the carrying trade.
The iron tramp steamship is being re-
placed by the many masted steel
schooners. These vessels are the clip
per ships of these days. The cost and
maintenance of the sailing craft is so
much less than that of steamships; and
by the skiIlful use of currents and
trade winds they make such good time
that they have been found to pay enor-
NOUS profits. The Standard oil Com
pany. which has the reputation of see
ing somewhat further than it's nose,
has recently abandoned its steam tank
