Clover Helps
Sandy Soils
RetainNeede
Elements

1t has been shown that the raising
of legumes benefits the soil in two
ways. viz, by increasing the humus
and by supplying the soil with nitro
gen. Other crops, it is true, such as
rye, buckwheat, millet, etc., will also
increase the humus if plowed under
for green manure, but not nearly SO
much so as a good crop Of legumes
because the latter have, as a rule, a
much greater root system. Besides
this, other crops have the disadvant
age of not adding any fertility to the
soil even If the whole crop is plowed
under. There is great difference in
the habit Of growth, productiveness,
use, value as feed, green manure or
soiling crop, ability of supplying nitro
gen and humus, and sureness of Sc
curing a catch, between the different
Iegumes adapted to this climate and
soil
Medium Red Glover Good.
Of all legumes, medium red and
mammoth clover are perhaps better
adapted to sandy soils than any 9TH
er. They are very closely allied In
that they are both biennial plants and
require about the same conditions.
Mammoth clover, however; under the
same conditions grows much more
staiky and coarser than the medium
red, but when the former is seeded
on sandy soil it grows to about the
same size that the latter attains on
a clay or a clay loan.
To introduce clover on these soils,
the field should be plowed as early
as possible in the spring and then
top-dressed with ground limestone.
This crop is very sensitive to acid

quently do to no other cause than
poor drainage.
Cost of draining wet lands in many
cases is very small as compared with
the benefits which result. Open ditch
es cost from 10 to Is cents per cubic
yard of excavation. Practically all
of our marshes can be provided with
the three kinds of open bitches for
less than $40 an acre. Lines of four
inch tile laid three feet deep cost
about cents a rod for tile and labor.
If the lines Of tile are four rods apart
there will be 40 rods of tile per acre.

conditions in that the bacteria living
on its roots will not flourish where
there is a lack Of lime.
If possible, the lime should be ap
piled on the field the preceding sea-
son, SO that it will be well distributed
through the soil by the time it is
needed. The field should be har
rowed at short intervals to kill such
weeds as sand burrs, yellow and
green foxtail, ETC., before these get
start above ground. This method OF
cultivation should be kept up until
May
About fifteen pounds of clover seed
should then be sown broadcast before
a seeder or grain drill and worked in
so that none of the seed will be more
than two and a half or three inches
below the surface. The seeder should
be followed with heavy roller which
compacts the soil around the seed,
thus increasing it's opportunity of get
ting a good moisture supply for germ
nation.
Add Nitrogen Bacteria.
Ordinarily medium red or alsike
clover will develop nodules in abund-
ance on the sandy soils of Wisconsin.
Alfalfa and many other legumes, how
ever, often fail to develop the proper
nodules or develop them only to a
very limited extent until they have
been grown on the same piece OF
ground for three or four years.
It is frequently desirable, therefore,
to inoculate the soil with the proper
bacteria Ordinarily this is best
done by the distribution over the soil
on which the corresponding legumes
have been grown for some time and
on which they have shown a good de-
velopment of nodules. The rate of
development of nodules on the land
so treated will, of course, depend on
the amount of inoculating soil and
the thoroughness of it's mixture
through the ground. Where such in
oculating soil is readily accessible
with only the cost Of a short haul, it
is best to use 1000 or 1000 pounds
per acre. Where, however, it must be
shipped in, half of these quantities
will produce fair development when
the soil is kept In a moist condition.

During the past season 1922 grow
ers living in So counties were fur
nished, by the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture, with It's pounds Of high
grade seed, valued at $1,400. The
reports received from the growers,
the tobacco buyers, and the awards
made at the tobacco exhibits indicate
very generally the superior merit, as
to earliness, yield and quality, of leaf
grown from this type over that of
seed from other sources. Over 800
growers reported that it matured
earlier than any other variety they
had used Two hundred and fifty-nine
found it better yielder and 442 out
of $50 replies indicated that the
quality Of leaf was better.

Taxpayers of Hammond who have
visited the scene of the new Calumet
river bridge on Holman street are
commenting on the questionable quail
ity of wood and timbers that have been
used in the construction of the ap-
proach to the bridge. The plans and
specifications call for first-class mate
rial to be erected in first-class work
manship. Taxpayers who are COM
petent to judge are questioning the fact
whether that phase of the contract has
been complied with in the approach.
Hammond taxpayers in particular are
watchful because after the county COM
missioners accept the bridge 1t will be
up to Hammond to keep it in repair.
Dan Bruhn, manager of the Ham
mond Machine and Steam Forge works,
is the inspector on the construction
of the bridge.

the bridge is first Glass; said Mr..
Bruhn to THE TIMES today .ats the

of attempted burglary of Oscar Cold
smiths saloon at Forsythe, near the
Hammond Lake Front Park, Irwin
Zarhak a former employe of Goldsmith
and Hans Schnoors a porter in the sa-

against the two.
The suspicion Of Goldsmith was first
aroused yesterday when Mrs Rus
sell from Chicago came to him saying
that she had seen a post card from
Schnoors to Zarhak, the wording OF
which could be construed to mean that
they wanted to rob Goidsmiths place
last night. Goldsmith laid the matter
before Chief Austgen of the Hammond
police department and the latter de-
tailed Officers Einsele and Bunde TO
watch the place. Zarhak arrived about
midnight and went to Schnoors' room,
