in her dreams.
After much effort she persuaded her

GAINED FAME ON OLD IDEA
Agricultural Department Not the
First to Exploit Inocula-
ton of Soil.

Washington.-An S0-year-old book
recently picked up at a secondhand
book store in this city raises the Ques.
tion as to whether there is any reason
for the pride Secretary Wilson shows
in his corps of sleek and well.fed sci.
entists. who. he declared a short time
ago. we're half starved when he came
to the headship of the department.
The book is called "The Memoirs
Of the Philadelphia Society for the
Promotion Of Agriculture" It was
published at Philadelphia In 1896 and
contained matter then flve years old.
The volume was once the property
Of Samuels Walter. the man who in
vented the frame upon which all well
regulated bees now build their honey
combs. He stands to-day as the dis.
coverer Of more useful things with
regard to bees than any other man that
ever lived.
In the memoirs is an article by
John Blomfeld, an Englishman. who
wrote in 1921 In his article he wrote:
81 shall now give you the method OF
preparing and inoculating land for
permanent pasture"
Soil inoculation is one of the things
on which DR.. Moore. one of the scien.
lists who resigned from the depart.
ment because of revelations respecting
nitroculture manufacturing enter.
prises, built his reputation. He has
been held up as practically the in.
ventor of soil incubation. The old
book shows that soil inoculation is
one Of the things known long before
this government ever thought Of estab,
fishing a department of agriculture,
or even the post office department, as
one of the great executive departments
of the government.
