Since bacteria, can be seen only
with the aid.of a microscope, we may
be inclined to think those existing In
the soil should have but little infu'
ence upon crop production. But we
often see the powerful effects produced
by minute organisms in such diseases
as diphtberia, typhoid, tuberculosis,
etc., and when We realize the enor.
Inoas number. that usually exist-thal
a half teaspoonfuI Of soil from clover
field may contain from one to fifty
million bacteria-we must agree that
they are a force to be considered.
Most fertile soils contain at least
fifty kinds of bacteria, only eight or
ten OF which are useful from an agrI.
cultural standpoint. Probably the best
known form is the .bacterium which
causes the tubercles or nodu<es on the
roots Of clover, beans, peas, and SIM
IlIar plants. This organism, while llv.

ABOVE THE AVERAGE.

The average farmer. barely
makes 4 living. The average
bookkceper just about earns the
salary he receives. The average
typesetter causes, through errors
and bIuldersi more wastage than
his services arc worth. 1t is the
;. men above the average who. are
enjoying, the luxuries of life
who are setting the pacc-who
are the leaders OF thought-who
are really doing The worlds
work.
The above-the-average farmer
is making his acres pay him a
handsome return, He is the
man who is up.to,date on agri-
cultural thought. who reads the
papers and keeps in touch with
the agricultural college and sta.
ton. His is the first farm Of the
neighborhood 10 erect a silo, his
fields first know the presence Of
new crops, alfalfa, COW peas,
crimson clover, and soy beans.
Ills live stock first show the re.
timing influence OF pure-bred
sire and OF scientific feeding,
His home, his wife, his children
first take on the appearance and
: manner of prosperity and happi.
ness. For him life Is we'll worth
the living.
4 little investigation among
those about us reveals the fact
! that the quality Of being above
the average does not depend en-.
tirely upon heredlty, environ
ment, nor even upon early eda.
: cation. The farmer who would
be above the average need only
use his powers Of observation
and maintain the receptive attt'
Jude until he learns what TO do
and then exercise his will power

the things which have been
proven best by test. Are you an

Forms Of bacteria found In noduIes on
roots Of legumes, such as cloVers,
alfalfa, etc. (Mueh enIarged).

There Is still much discussion as to
the Importance OF bacteria, but 1t Is
fact thar fertile soils are practically
always we'll stocked with bacteria, and
It is also fact that the conditions Of
the soil best suited to the growth and
multiplication OF beneficial bacteria are
the very conditions which we now
recognize as the best for plant growth.
While the science Of soil bacterI'
ology has, as yet, but few practical ap.
plications other than such practices as
inoculating soils for alfalfa and clO
vers, still it should serve to empha.
