Dr. Charles ID. McIver has returned

thousand people on the subject, The

pleasure, judging from the comments
on his address by the Peoria News.
Peoria is a city of $4,000 inhabitants,

The poultry yards are also complete

duck, turkey, pheasan and the like are
kept, each variety having separate
houses and runs to keep them from
crossing. In the hatchery which is
heated by steam are half dozen in
cubators and breeders, for the little
chicks are happier and grow without a
mother.
Mr.. Trogden is building up large
mail order business, getting orders

Some of his mail orders come from

righteousness of growth and black
green beauty of color.
The way Mr.. Trogden secured this
success was by using his brain and a
little money. When he sowed his seed
he sent to one of the finest lucerne
farms in New York State and got 400
pounds of soil from a lucerne field
that had been set for twenty years.
This soil was carefully sown over the
four acres. 1t contained the neces-
sary bacilli for the Modification of the
seed and the feeding of the young
roots, the germs sown of course null
tiplying by millions by the time they
were needed. In this way the field
was Vaccinated, or inoculated. The
cost of the imported virus or impreg-
mated soil was only $500, including
freight charges. The crop this year
alone will be worth 800 per acre,
and as the land gets richer every year
by reason of the nitrogen gathering
nature Of the plant. and the plant
grows bigger each succeeding year, it
can readily be seen what a valuable
object lesson Mr.. Trogden has given
Guilford county farmers as to the pos
sibilities of their lands, properly cul-
tivated.
There is no doubt but that better
success could be had with crimson
clover and red tor, if farmers would
vaccinate with clover soil or send to
the Agricultural Department at Wash
ington and get from there, free of
charge some chemically prepared
germs, which come in the shape of a
yeast cake, is dissolved in water and
sprinkled over the seed before sowing,
thus fertilizing them with the busy
and valuable little nitrogen collectors,
or baclli germs. Mr.. Trogden is
making a million blades of lucerne
grow where none would grow before,
and is therefore a millionaire bene-
