Yes. the birthday anniversary is
past. but we are still thinking
about those pictures, One OF
them is the conventional picture,
the other is one which his wife is
said to have insisted looked like
him" OF course that conventional
picture is diguified and perhaps
heroic" but the other really
looks like live man and we'll
bet dollars to doughnuts it comes
pretty near being a good picture
OF the immortal Geo. Washington,
Washington was the father of his
country and we have the heroic
picture OF him in that capacity.
but we are led to believe he was
also pretty decent every day
citizen and are inclined to think
the other picture is a good repre-
sentation OF him in that capacity.

Nitrogen.Fixing Bacteria For Alfalfa


AS the time tor sowing alfalfa
approaches; inquiries are being
received by the Colorado Agri
cultures of nitrogen-hxing bac-
terra to be used with alfalfa anc
other leguminous crops for in
creasing the available nitrogen !oi
the soil. In the first place. il
should be clearly understood that
these cultures are of direct bene-
fit only to plants of the legume
family, represented by alfalfa,
clover, vetch, COW pea, field pea,
and soy bean On the roots OF
such plants these germs produce
nodules, and living there as par
asites, they take nitrogen from
the air of the soil, store it up in
the nodules and ultimately give a
portion or all of it to the host
plant. Other crops, such as
wheat, oats. sugar beets. and Po-
tatoes, following alfalfa, produce
better yields, not because of the
presence of these bacteria. but
because of the nitrogen con-
tanned in the root tubercles of the
alfalfa and which has become
available tor other crops by the
destruction and decay of the tu-
bercular outgrowths.
Experiments have been con-
Quoted with pure cultures of these
bacteria, used for inoculating the
seed. at many of the experiment
stations. and while some have re-
ported decided benefits, the ma
jority are of the opinion that the
increased good coming from their
use is so slight and the results SO
uncertain that the doubtful bene.
fit to be derived is not worth the
trouble which one is pu to in in.
oculating the seed.
A much more satisfactory way
OF introducing the germs is tc
secure soil from an old altslt;
field which is known to be inocu
lated. as show by the presence o
nodules on the roots OF alialIs
and scatter this over the field a
the ate of 200 to 300 DIS PEE
acre. Soil inoculat,d by ihr
means has given very satisfactory
results, and IS much sure
method of securing inoculatior
than the use OF pure cultures OF
the seed. II the soil is already
abundanily supplied with tn,
proper bacteria for the desired
crop. adding more germs will b'
of Ii tie value
So far as the observations OF
the writer 60. the majority OF our
Colorado soils that are adapted &c
alfalfa growing, are already
abundantly inoculated by nature
with tn alfalfa organism. aud CON
sequenty further application Is

ACTION TAKEN IN
NATIONAL CASE

Yesterday, in open court, Judge Orr
took up the case of the Ma
tional Mining Company of Nevada VS..
Stall brothers. 1t will be remem-
bered that some time ago defendants
made motion to dissolve the injunc-
tion and asked that the bond of $685.
600 given by plaintiffs be raised,
claiming that the time the injunction
run would be deducted from the length
of their lease.
Judge Orr stated that unless attor-
neys for plaintiff accepted offer of
defendants counsel to file stipu-
lation to the effect that in case de-
PENDANTS were successful at the hear
ing of the case the time consumed by
reason of the injunction should be ad-
ded to the life of the lease, he should
increase the bond.

WASTE LANDS
MAY BE UTILIZED

Nevada has over two millions Of
acres of what might be called waste
land, although the soil is virgin, and
capable of growing anything that can
be raised in this latitude. This ap
plies mainly to the northern tier of
counties, where there is more water
attainable by wells and a heavier
snowfall. All of the valleys along the
Humboldt drain to that river. Some
of them are rs and 80 miles in length,
and all carry underground large vol
umes of water, the drainage of the
parallel mountain ranges. The soil in
the most of these valleys is deep and is
made up of decomposed granite, iron
and other minerals so necessary to
plant life.
The lure of science has worked won
