A CALIFORNIA WOMAN SPEAKS

California promises TO develop
some strong workers in the suffrage
movement. Mrs Orlow Black, a
prominent lady of San Francisco, has
some practical ideas about woman
suffrage In answer to the charge
that women would be oinceseekers II
they had the ballot. she saws
The women who are interested in
civic and social work are not so much
interested in politics and political
leaders as they are in measures for
the social civic and moral better

welfare OF the race. for It's protec-

do not endorse everything that Is

that is the FIRST and most important

SCIENTIFIC FARMING.

The man who farms in a scientific
manner is the one who succeeds, and
The Importance OF this is illustrated
every day in every agricultural COM
munity. A few years ago there were
thousands OF acres OF sand hills in
Michigan which were daily shifted
by the winds and upon these moth
Ing, not even horse sorrel, would
grow. A genius came along and
tested this worthless, sandy soil and
gave II as his opinion that red clov-
er would succeed II planted on these
unpromising acres He failed to
make anyone take enough stock in
his opinion to try the experiment so
he did II himself, and the result
was that he succeeded even beyond
anything that he had hoped for. It
was a great discovery and today a
million acres of this land has been
reclaimed and is producing bounti-
tul crops, The last issue OF the
Farm and Fireside has an interest
ing article along these same lines 1t
says
Long before much was known
about chemistry, the ancient farm
ers learned that crops grown after
clover were larger and better than
others About fifty years ago a
German scholar found out why it
was. He learned that there was
more nitrogen in the soil after a
crop Of clover had been grown on il
than before; and later it was found
out that the little white balls. or
nodues, on the clover roots are the
homes OF bacteria which gather nj
irogen from he air and leave II i'm
the soil for the crop Of the next year
But after clover had been grown of
and on for good many wears. il
would hardly grow on some fields
and the land was called clover SICK
Really tNc clover was not sick The
soil was In such bad shape ,ha, the
little nitrogen-making bacteria could
hardly grow Now why vas this
People then 3it no, know

the soil certain things as food, but In
taking this plant food it finds some
mixtures that 1t can not use, and
these are thrown on by the little
roots and left in the soil. This mix
ture eft in the soil is often harmful
70 the next crop of the same kind.
NO two crops need just the same
kind Of plant food mixtures, and so
don't throw OF the same things; but
the mixture that oats leave in the
ground would be harmful to the
next crop Of oats, or wheat to wheat.
But what oats leave is not harmful
to wheat
Now all of our crops throw of
these mixtures which they can not
use and they are all different, yet
most of the grain crops leave a tiny
bit of acid in the soil 1t is only re-
Gently that scientists working in the
department of soils at Washington
have really found out about this
acid. They have named 1t Dihydrox-
ystearic acid. That compound acid
Is left in the soil by many of our
crops, and when there is quite lit
tie Of that acid In the soil. 1t hinders
the nitrogen making bacteria in their
growth; and when they don't grow
we'll the clover doesn't grow well,
either. So the nitrogen In the soil
gets low, and that makes all the
crops small and weakly. What We
must learn to do is to prepare the
soil so as to get rid of this acid
so the bacteria can grow, then the
supply of nitrogen will be put back
in the soil. We have learned that
lime helps to break down this acid
compound"
