Jewish Discoverer in Egypt

M. Clermont- -Ganneau, on his return
from upper Egypt where he has been
commissioned to investigate the origin
of Judaism in Elephantine in the fifth
century b. c., has announced the re-
suits of his mission before the academy

proved by Jewish papyri published in
English by Mr.. Cowley. M. Clermont-
Ganneau has just added a hundred Ara
maic inscriptions on earthenware, all

phantne, which is an extremely circum-
scribed region. This has helped him to
discover the ancient site of the ancient

Hebrew, Israel and Judah

The word Hebrew occurred first in
Genesis 14th, in reference to the cap
ture of Lot Abram' nephew, and here
it had distinct and very clear mean
ing viz: that Of traveller or one who has
migrated from some foreign land, and
lived up to high standard of morality
and justice Subsequently, however,
owing to the jealousy caused by the
prosperity of the descendants Of Abra
ham, the title conveyed to the inhabi-
tants of the land the meaning of for
eigner or alien, and who could realize
so fully as they could the cruelty perpe
trated on the Jewish race among the ma
tions, owing to their being looked on as
foreigners? The meaning Of Israel was
GA Prince of God," and by it's recogni-
ton of the great love and protection
granted them by the Almighty, Israe!
grew to be strong, powerful and re-
spected, until misrule, brought about by
an extravagant and voluptuous court,
caused rebellion and secession.
The word "Judah" then became the

Israel, after an existence Of $50 years,

all that" Well there is nothing
strange about that for it has been the
custom for ages for people to farm
without much knowledge of what the
soil needs in order to raise good crops.
Growing plants need just ten different
elements in order to keep up healthy
growth These are carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen, sulphur, phosphorus, pOtas-
SUM (pOtaSh), magnesium (magnesla),
calcium Qime) and iron; possibly to
this list chlorine should be added. Car
bon, which constitutes about one-half
the dry matter of the plants, comes in
chiefly from the air through the leaves
and nature will take care of this sup
ply if the leaves are kept in health
full condition. We need not be con-
cerned about the carbon. We need
not give ourselves any concern about
the hydrogen that plant needs, pro-
vided it is supplied with plenty of
water About or 6 per cent of the
dry matter in plants is hydrogen and
is absorbed chiefly with the water that
comes in from the soil. The amount
of oxygen in the dry matter of plants
is from 35 to As per cent and is alb
the plants breathe through the leaves.
It is also taken from the soil and car
ried in water which is taken in
through the roots and is known as
nitrates, sulphates, carbonates and
phosphates. So we need not be con-
cerned about the oxygen plant needs.
Nature will attend to that under nor
NAL conditions. We need to give no
concern about the sulphur, magnesia
and iron a plant needs, for these are
abundant in all soils. Sometimes lime
may be needed in what are called sour
soils.
4
Some of our soil chemists declare
that there is enough potash and phos
phorus in the soil to last for 1000
years if we only manage to put it
into the available form. Some men
saw this is a mistake, and the discus
sion wakes hot. We need not bother
our readers with this now. The one
ingredient that is indispensable to the
vigorous growth of plants is nitrogen.
Without this element of fertility plants
of all kinds will look sickly and ultl-
mately die. This is one of the ele-
m6nUS Oh I0TClllIy SOOuSoI CAhetuoIOu
in all soils and especially so in our
volcanic ash soils. 1t can be supplied
by buying nitrate of soda, or it can be
supplied by the abundant use OF stable
manure or by the decomposition OF
vegetable and animal matter The
nitrate of soda of commerce, commonly
called "Chile saltpeter," is the most
costly of all commercial fertilizers.
Millions of tons of nitrogen OF fertility
are being used annually in growing
wheat. oats, barley, corn, tobacco, cot
ton, garden vegetables hay of all kinds
with the exception of the legumes, and
fruit trees. Some goes back in the
form of stable manure and decaying
matter, but this source of supply falls
immensely short of making up the loss.
The fact is that the soil over vast
areas of our agricultural districts is
becoming gradually exhausted. The
nitrogen is being used up. If we were
to buy enough commercial nitrogen to

cut it down when the seed was fully
matured, intending to rake it up and
haul it to another part of the field
and in this way seed another patch.
But as soon as the clover was dry it
began to shatter it's seed to such an
extent that we gave up that idea. We
flooded the ground with water and the
seed came up as thick as hair on a
dogs back" l took Prof Piper to
see this reseeded crimson clover. He
said this was an entirely new way to
deal with this legume. So far as he
could recollect he had never heard of
reseeding crimon clover in that way.
From what we could see he was of
the opinion that the experiment would
be eminently successful l am to re-
port the final results of this expert
ment. Thus it appears that we have
growing on our ranch three legumes
that will reseed themselves and it will
not be expensive to keep them grow
ing from year to year.

Prof. Piper and visited the orchard
of L. l. Barbee, a near neighbor of
ours. He has red clover Curriculum
pratense) growing in his orchard. Pi-
per was delighted to see how well it
is doing. From examination of the
ripened heads we found them full of
good plump seeds. This legume will
reseed itself where seeds ripen as here
seen. So this makes fourth legume
that can be used without the cost of
buying seeds annually.
Il
Of course, it goes without saying
that alfalfa, one of the best legumes
grown can be used in soil fertility
without reseeding for it is a perennial.
But alfalfa is Objectionable in an or
chard on account of the difficulty of
getting rid of it when we wish to do
So However, | am becoming more
and more convinced that alfalfa is
good thing in an orchard after the
trees are we'll established, even allow
ing that we can not readily get rid of
it, Let it remain and your trees will
be more vigorous than where clean
cultivation is practiced. 1t was our
custom to fight alfalfa in our orchards
by using the grubbing hoe, but we
have quit that. AS a result it is
marching into some of our orchards
and we find that where it prevails
the trees are more vigorous, the fol-
iage greener and the fruit more abun-
dant and larger than where we have
kept it out Far better have alfalfa
in an orchard than such weeds as
purslane, pigweed, dandelion, catnip
and lambs quarter, or such forage
plants as timothy, millet, sorghum,
wheat, oats and barley, for not one of
these can gather nitrogen from the
air, Notwithstanding they constantly
use up the nitrogen that is in the soil.
Il
Some one may say: Il don't see
any good in all this discussion about
legumes and nitrogen gathering and
