Useful Soil Germs.

An intimate relation exists between
the fertility of soil and its bacter-
ial life. 1t is therefore important 10
know the conditions of the soil which
are most favorable to the rapid deyel-
opment of soil bacteria, for upon
these will depend plant growth. Acid
soils are infertile because the sol
bacteria cannot grow In them. Lime.
when applied to land, assists in the
decomposition of organic matter In
the soil, but indirectly. Lime neu-
tralizes the aCidity of the soil and
renders it more favorable to the de-
velopment of soil bacteria, which are
the true agents for the decomposition
OF organic matter A very fertile soil
may be so water logged as to be al
most entirely unproductive. Why?
The excessive amount of water cuts
off to a large extent the2supply of air
which is required by the bacteria.
Muck beds are rich in nitrogen, and
often contain considerable phosphor-
GUS and potassium, but they will no.
produce good crops. Make them a At
habitation for soil bacteria, that Is,
drain them and correct the acid con-
dition and they become heavily pro-
ductive. Acids in the soil may also
bring into solution minerals that have
poisonous effect upon crosp as for
example, compounds of iron and alu-
nina, The whole difficulty must be
met by overcoming the injurious eff
fects Of soil acids, But Nature has
provided a cheap neutralizer of acid

PROTEST AGAINST GU|IOT|NE
FRANCE URGED TO ABOLISH
PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.
Degrading Scenes Attending Three
eral Cutlery From Public.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, October 4. 1909.
The execution of three criminals by the
guillotine in the Drome has led to the usual
protests against the publicity Of executions.
The behavior Of the crowd, the publication
of photographs of the execution and the
wide publicity given to all the details
of the affair-notably the effrontery with
which the miserable men endeavored to
brazen out their last minutes-have
reused general protest. 1t is pointed
out that these exhibitions only serve to
defeat their purpose. since the criminal
has a last chance of appearing as a
hero. while the spectators can only be
brutalized by them.
1t is reported that the government is
determined to carry the law abolishing
public executions through the two cham
bers. 1t was adopted by the senate in
1898, and has several times been dis
cussed in the chamber of deputies, but
never voted. So long as the death
penalty was in practical allegiance 1t was,
of course, unnecessary, but since the
weight of popular opinion has compelled
penalty it can scarcely be neglected much
longer. 1t would probably have been voted
some time ago had it not been for the
violent opposition of the socialists and
others who demand the abolition of the
death penalty. Their opposition was based
on the hope that the revolving scenes
which are inseparable from public eX-
ecutionS would result In reaction of
public opinion. against capital punishment.
