smaller her vote.
The foregoing is a very pat illus
tration Of the desperate resorts the
Pierre push and their allies are driv.
ing to get away from the main issue.
Since when was the capital removal
based on the relative merits Of the
rival cities as cities? In all the dis.
c%ussions that have taken place, in
the legislature and in the press,
prior 10 the passage OF the resolution
submitting the question Of a new To-
cation for the capital, not once was
the merits OF dement's Of Pierre as a
town raised. 1t was simply a cues
tion of location. If Pierre was a
second Sioux Falls it would not
change u iota the reasons for cap
ital removal. No one understands
this better than the editor Of the
Spirit. In replying to an article in
the Pierre Free Press. not so many
months ago the Spirit said:
II be (Besancon) was located any
place else he would doubtless realize

state capital that could have been
chosen.
Again:
The state capital is a mere conyen-
lence, created and maintained for
public use. 1t should be placed
where 1t will be the most convenient
to the whole people. It's present To-
cation is the cause OF needless waste
OF time and money to every one hav-
ing business to transact at the cap

There you have it in a nutshell.
Not a line, not a word against Pierre
as 4 town; and in thus expressing
the gist of the argument for removal
the Spirit simply echoed the sentim-
ent everywhere--includlng Mitchell.
1t is very sure that this much Of
the sentiment eXisted-and still eX-
ists-that it will take more than "a

Old Land for Orchards.

1t is not advisable to locate
orchards on new lands. Some of
these lands may be very fertile. but
there are good reasons why they
should not be put at once into fruit.
The temptation to do so is very great,
as 1t is argued that by SO using the
land the new trees will be growing
while the old stumps are rotting. II
1t were possible to cultivate such land
by the use Of the spade and the hoe,
one of the main objections would be
done away with. But hand work is
too expensive to be applied to large
commercial orchard in the first years
OF its existence. Horse work Is cheap
and must be utilized. That Kind o.
labor cannot be utilized on new
ground full of stumps and roots. IL
trees are planted on land that has
been merely cut over, the cultivation
Is sure to be neglected. The trees
will not receive the attention they
would have received on land that is
well.cleared, well-pulverized. and that
has been worked by pillow and Guilt
vator for a number of years at least.
Usually too insect pests are more
abundant on new land than on old. II
new land must be used 1t Is better
to cultivate 1t for two or three years
in some crop that requires I, CROUCH
stirring of the soil. If possible the
last crop before the orchard Is set
should be leguminous one. that the
soil may have good supply of nitro
gen.

Bank Barns.

The bank barn Is still popular in
the colder sections of the United
States in spite of the fact that it Is
sometimes too damp for the best
health of the farm animals. Where
the land is billy there are numerous
opportunities for the building of bank
barns. The objections urged against
bank barns are not valid ones, for
they can be easily provided against.
Some complain that where there is
a bank barn there must of necessity
be a basement and that such a base
ment is always dark, damp and gen.
orally unhealthful. Who says that
such conditions are necessary? 1t re-
quires only a little thought to make
the basement as Light and cheerful as
any other portion of the barn.
For bank barn a southern slope
should be selected, as this makes it
possible to utilize the sun during near.
ly all of the short winter day. If the
slope is a northern one, it will be i'm
possible to get the amount of light
needed and at the same time take full
advantage of the warmth furnished by
the bank.
A bank barn should be provided
with an abundance of doors and win
dows that both light and ventilation
may be easily supplied and that the
basement may be quickly aired out on
warm days.
The bank barn Is easy to be kept
warm in winter, and II cement Is free
ly used it can be kept dry at all
times. In the properly arranged bank
barn the teams can be driven in on a
level and without the necessity of
climbing a steep ascent in approach.
ing the barn floor
There is such thing as having the
basement too deep in the ground, the
surrounding earth coming too far
above the top Of the basement. This
makes it very difficult to get sufficient
window room.

CoWpea Bacteria.

The cowpea bacteria are already
quite widely distributed in southern
Illinois, especially where this crop has
been grown for several years, but
they are not common in the soils of
other parts of the state. 1t is doubt
full, however, if 1t is necessary or even
worth while to take the trouble to
inoculate soil for cowpeas. Some few
tubercles almost invariably develop
on cowpea roots the first year they
are seeded, even where they have
never been grown before, and il seed.
ed the second year on the same land
the plants are usually abundantly
provided with root tubercles. Just
why the cowpea bacteria develop so
rapidly even without special inocula-
ton is not definitely known. 1t may
be that the same bacteria also live
on some other leguminous plant which
is more or less widely distributed over
the state, but 1t seems more likely
that the bacteria are brought with the
seed. AS matter of fact, the cowpea
harvest is usually dirty. This Is an
annual plant, and consequently the
crop is grown on recently plowed land
and is sometimes cultivated during
the season. Cowpeas are commonly
harvested with moving machine and
then raked up on the loose ground.
When they are threshed more or
less dirt remains with the seed. Fur
thermore, the seed coats are not in
frnnnnntly nronlynd hrc rrDuiHin1
excellent place for the lodgment of
particles of soil.
Whether it would be profitable to
inoculate the land for cowpeas would
deE~nd very largely upon the difficulty
or cost of obtaining the infected ma
terial. If soil thoroughly infected with
the cowpea bacteria can be scattered
over the land at the rate of about
1000 pounds to the acre at a cost of
81 or less per ton, 1t might prove
profitable. 1t is doubtful If a light
application of 100 or 200 pounds would
produce any very marked effect in
the yield the first season. After the
soil becomes we'll infected the cow
peas then obtain much nitrogen from
the air, and the yield of cowpeas Is
likely to be largely increased. OF
course there is no tixation of atmos-
pheric nitrogen il there are no tuber-
Giles on the roots.
In 1902 several plots of cowpeas
were seeded on the soil experiment
field at the university. One of these
plots 900 had become thoroughly
infected with the cowpea bacteria, be-
cause of its being so situated that
more or less surface drainage water
flowed over it from an adjacent field
upon which cowpeas had been grown
for three successive years. Another
plot (408). owing to slightly differ
ent situation, had not become in
fected. The two plots were seeded
in July after a crop Of oats had been
removed from the land. Within three
weeks after seeding, numerous root
tubercles could be found on the plants
on the infected plot. Later on, ten
average consecutive plants were taken
up as completely as possible, and 412
tubercles were found on the roots,
making an average of more than 40
tubercles to the plant. On plot 40S
only an occasional plant was found in
fected, and such plants would usually
have only single large tubercle on
their roots.-Professor c. G. Hopkins

Orchards of Non-Residents.

II has become quite a common say
ing in the North that you can buy
land in such and such a southern
state at SIS or $40 an acre and resi-
dent of that locality will plant an
orchard on 1t and care for 1t for
nothing, II you furnish the trees" The
said resident Is supposed to get his
pay by using the ground between the
tree rows. A large number Of people
in the North have been caught by this
argument and have purchased cheap
lands In the South. They have by
proxy planted them to fruit trees and
have waited in patience for the har-
vests that were to make tnem rich.
We have yet to hear of the first man
to get rich in this way. 1t Is too
easy.
In the South to-day will be found
numerous ragged, neglected. unpro-
ductive orchards. If you ask about
them you will be told trat they be.
long to non-residents In the North.
The writer visited young peach
orchard of this kind in North Caro-
lima. Tho trees were several years
old, but the ground was filed with
weeds and brambles. After the trees
got so large that the ground could be
no longer cultivated the orchard was
left to itself. The trees were in
crusted with masses of the San Jose
scale, and 1t was evident that they
would all be dead in a year, or two.
They were so far gone that 1t would
never pay to treat them by any proc
ess. The inevitable end of the trees
was to be cut down and burr ed.
Doubtless the owner in the North
fondly imagined that he had a peach
orchard in the South that was rapidly
growing into a fortune.
Let no man imagine that he can fall
upon a fortune in this way. If he
wants commercial orchard of any
kind Of fruit he will have to watch
over 1t, cultivate it and see that In
sect and fungous pests do not devour
1t.
Every neglected orchard Is dis.
couragement to the men who would
plant orchards. No orchard should be
| planted unless 1t is to pc under the
| eye or the owner or OF some represen
tatiVe who has enough interest in 1t to
see that 1t Is properly cared for.
