vETCH INOCULATION AND LIME
MIR. sumter Amplifes and Explains
Ills Views on Culture of Legumcs
Mr.. Editor.

Mr.. Editor.
In your comments on my letter of
the goth l note what YOU say i'm re-
gard to inoculation OF land for hairy
vetch, with soil from land where
spring vetch had been raised. | did
not say that but l did say the bac~
terra was different and say so now. I
say the seed pods are different and
can show you the difference anytime.
l cannot help what the government
expert says.
The common or spring vetch or
tares. does not withstand the cold.
in the Northern States. Is liable to
be winter killed. The hairy or Rus
sian vetch. though having properties
in common with all the veech family,
requires different bacteria. A care
full observation of the nodules will
show you that there is a difference,
and If you will examine the difference
between the nOdules on these two and
the little native vetch you will find
decided difference i'm the nodules.
AS to the soil method Of inocula-
ton l did not say anything about
that, in my letter but am willing to
say that it is alright, If properly
done, but though a party may get
the soil from his neighbor for moth
ing. 1 think the hauling, applying,
etc, for an acre would cost him more
than two dollars for the commercial
bacteria, besides the risk of carving
such things as nut grass from one
field to another. is to be considered.
/ have noticed in this vicinity two
or three kinds of vetches and have
noted the English vetch, common and
hairy vetch all in one field and have
to my satisfaction accounted for it,
and in the moving of the soil which
1 think you allude to think you not
only get the nodules of all kinds but
the seeds OF all kinds at the same
time.
AS to the lime question, / quote
from government report No. II:
"Caustic or quick lime Is the most
concentrated. consequently the most
economical to handle. It's caustic
properties. however render it moro
vigorous in it's actions than the mild
er sulphate (gypsum) or carbonates,
lime stone. chalk, wood ashes, mari,
etc, ana thus better suited for ap-
plication to soils which are rich i'm
organic matter than to light soils
deficient in this substance. 1t is also
especially suited to correcting acidity
in sour soils"
This bears out what say in my
letter, put all the humus you can on
the land (organic matter) and (bear
In minD plow 1t in not too deep.
then apply your lime at once and har-
row in and after twenty or thirty
days plant your seed.
With this before me and other
literature too numerous to quote, be-
sides experiences Of myself and 9TH
ers do you expecr. me to care much
about what experts say, or are report
ed to have said.
Respectfully.

Property We. Life.

To the legal mind, apparently. the
rights OF property have always seemed
of more Importance than human life.
For hundreds OF years 1t Was possible
for man brutally TO maltreat his child
with less legal risk than II he had
poached hare. Gradually human life
became more valuable: but even today
it falls to receive the protection that
is accorded to property. It Is no I'M
common thing to ind reported in Brit
ish newspapers cases In which a
drunken navy has kicked and other
wise abused his wife. to receive no
greater punishment at the hands Of the
law than paltry fine. while the I'M
happy wight who. driven by hunger,
steals a loaf. Is sent to prison. Nor do
We need to go oversee to find such in
stances Of the worship Of property. An
excellent illustration Of the workings
of the legal mind in problems Of this
kind is to be found In study OF ten
notices of Judgment issued by the
United States department of agricui-
ture and giving in detail the account Of
ten violations Of the food and drugs act.
These ten cases deal with charges
brought against the Arm Of Hawley &
Hoops, New York. who are in the candy

known as penny goods; that is. the
kind of candy purchased by the little
tot who has been given q penny to
spend. Ten different specimens Of
Hawley & Hoops penny goods were
seized by the officials Of the bureau Of
chemistry and analysed. All of them
were found to be adulterated with
arsenic and most Of them contained
shellac. All Of them were being sold
as chocolate candies. yet the officers
reported that some did not even have
the predominating flavor of chocolate.
In every case the firm pleaded guilty.
In nine out of the ten cases no penalty
was imposed. the court suspending
judgment In the tenth case q fine OF
$50 was imposed. The case In which
fine was imposed was the one. and
the only one in which the company had
not merely sold poisonous product to
little children. but had m!sstated the
net weight Of the package In which
the arsenic-containing candies came!
Selling to little children as chocolate
candy mixture containing arsenic and
shellac is, apparently. In the eyes Of the
law, trivial oftense. But selling to a
dealer a package marked five pounds
that really contained only four pounds
fourteen and nve-eighths ounces. that

Looker-On In Iowa

Grinne.!, Sept, 16-About two years
ago Poweshiek county. one OF the best
counties IN the best state in the best
country the sun ever shown, a county
with say 10000 population, found out II
was paying out about $4,000 year tor
county relief. OF this sum sS,1oD Vas
actually expended for the poor OF the
town OF GrinneA The agitation OF
this poor" question resulted in the
names OF the recipients and amount
received by each person being published
in the county weeklies. This had the
effect of stopping some OF this eS-
penditure and the formation Of an assc-
citation Of citizens called The Grinnei.
Social Service League. The objects
were: To secure adequate material
assistance and intelligent care for
needy families in their homes and Tor
the homeless, to discourage lndiscriln!-
nate giving and other efforts which
lead to begging and vagrancy; to OBJ
tain the CO. cooperation OF social agencies
and afford them the use of coniiden-
tial register, and to stimulate interest
In social movements having Tor tilaii
OBJ, ct the prevention Of poverty, CTS
ease and crime.
Miss Adah Hopkins was made secre-
tary and by the county supervisors
overseer of the poor for the town C
Grinnell. Thus was formed an ar
rangement between a social service
league and the county supervisors SAID
to be different from anything In the
United States. Miss Hopkins also m
vestigates applications for relief out
side of the town of Grinnel When asked
by the county board OF supervisors
Her salary is paid both by the league
and the county. Nov i, 1913. Will bring
out all the workings Of this unique
association, in a full report Of this WORE
for the first year. Enough is now
known, says Professor Wyckoff, an
active worker and leader in social ser
vice work, to say it has resulted in a
great saving of the pubiic's and cnar
table peoples money. and at the same
time given adequate relief in all cases
of the deserving poor.
Outside OF the work Of charity. this
social service league is doing much for
the young people of the town. The
boys have games of base and basket
ball, boy scouts excursions generally
called hikes The girls have picnics,
camp fires. walking and riding clubs
! The names of eighty-five girls are on
this clubs list of members. Boys and
girls have organized games and otner
forms of recreation twice a week. This

The wink OF the eye which responds
20 the mention Of certain fires which

the eye movement IS of course, That
such fires are purposely set 10 enable
interested parties TO secure insurance
benefits Il is also supposabie, where
such is the case. that the property in
volved was greatly over-insured ana
that the business carried on was not
profitable.

tina, a CITY fire always endansers
