A GROWING EVIL.
The Habit of Advancing Money to
"
49, .Colured Farm Hands,

1.-THE now common practice Of ad-
vancing money to negro wage hands
in tho effort to secure their service as
laborers on the farm Is an evil, and as
great an evil in it's scope as was the
right Of universal and unqualified
suffrage such as so nearly ruined the
south for many years following the
civil war, Says the Clinton Gazette.
The &C. tie goes on to say chat 1t Is
an evil the practice Of which has al.
ready demoralizsd negro labor, and
it's effect is being felt to q degree that
threatens the downfall Of agriculture
and the consequent prostitution OF

TO DISTRIBUTE BACTERIA.
Put in Soil Will Make Cotton and
Other Plants Grow Better.

Other Plants Grow Better.
The department Of agriculture is
orepAring to shortly send out to the
farmers of the country many thous'
ands CT Notwithstanding bacteria. They
will b. sent in glass tubes, her aetti
cally sealed, and are said to b. entire.
ly harmless to man or beast. They
are to be used to help the growth OF
the cotton plant.
The first method of distributing
practically pure cultures OF nitrogen
fixing bacteria dried on cotton has not
proved entirely sati factory, owing to
varying conditions OF air during tran.
sit in the mails, and to certain mat
tiers connected with laboratory ttcl.
n'que. While the number Of unsuc
cessful attempts to secure incubation
by users Of cotton cultures sent by the
department Is small, it has been rec
ognized the methods Of preparing the
organizations and distributing them
we're open to improvement. InVesti
cations have been under way for some
time with a view to improving the
methods f )llowed, and as a result, the
depa tment Is now prepared to s nj
out bacteriologically pure cultures IL
small TUBS Theoretically sealed.
The experiments carried on by the
department have demonstrated the
fact that by the proper care OF practi.
cally pure cultures the nodule forming
bactreia are actually carried into the
soil. These bacteria are abe to form
root nodules, and where other condi
tions' are favorably the incubation
thus brought about makes possible the
growth of a leguue in soils where II
had failed previously for lack Of BAG
terra. The original cultures used,
however, must be- prepared with the
utmost care and with a view towards
preserving or increasing their natural
power of nitrogen fxatior rather thai
merely to make them grow under faV
orab'e conditions.
I've bacteria are cacable OF making
up fsr a deficiency of soil nitrogen and
the department will send full instruc
lions to any one desiring 70 make the
experiment. with them.
1t is the belief Of the department.
that II the cotton seed to be planted
are treated literally to a test Of the
trea. m 9nt which Is shortly to be sent
out, that much benefit will be deriv-
ed by the soil into which the seed are
put, apd const qlsntly, a better and
| healthier crOp Of cotton.
