Judgment We are on the eve Of

Missing Girl Found.

On Wednesday, August 13, Miss
Grace Dalton, residing with a sister
in Hutchinson, waited until that
sister was busy on the back porch,
and then slipped from the front door
without stopping to get even hat to
protect her from the boiling August
sun. She started west and after
walking aboue s miles met A. FL.
Heaton and three children, of Kansas
City, who were in movers wagon
on their way to Ransom to look
after some property belongs ing to Mr..
Heaton's sister. Grace did not know
them but as they offered her ride
she came to Ransom with them.
This is Grace's story as far as she
told it bit by bit to the reporter at
the station, Thursday morning.
There was a CLEAN of mischief-in her
eyes when she told how she haA
escaped from her sister. Being with
out money she walked to Ness City
and applied at numerous homes for
work, finally securing position with
Mrs. Judd Hermon, near town. Tues
day morning Sheriff Thomas O'Brien
received word to watch for Grace;
he believed the girl at Hermon's who
gave her name as Brown was the one
wanted, and wired back at once
Wednesday afternoon the girls faith
er, n. r. Dalton, and X. c. Beck,
sheriff of Reno county, arrived at the
Hermon home. Grace, who is only
fifteen years old and motherless,
seemed glad to see her father and re-
turned home with him Thursday
morning, without protest. She said
she intended going TO Trinidad, Colo

Since these bacteria are not always
present in the soil, incubation is
necessary. This may be done in two
ways. The seed may be inoculated
directly by the bacteria which are
grown in commercial laboratories on
suitable media. A more common
method is to spread on the land tc
t. seeded, soil from field where the
particular legume to be grown has
had good stand previously.
Since commercial incubation cul.
.es are still in an experiments!
age, the surest method of securing
good stand of alfalfa or clover with
nitrifying bacteria present is to use
soil for the purpose. Three hundred
to 500 pounds of soil to the acre il
uniformly distributed just previous t
seeding over the field. This is diske1

THOSE FRIENDLY BACTERIA

q Z. CONYBEARE, Iowa State College.
"Friendly Bacteria" that's what
the scientists call them, those tiny
little single cell plant-lke objects.
that have to do with the liberation of
plant food and increasing the fertil-
ity Of. the soil. They are the soil
cooks" that take the minerals and
decaying matter in the soil, and bring
about their solution into a form that
tickles' the palate of the young corn
plant, and makes him lusty and
strong.
The "nitrifying bacteria these
are the friendliest Of all the friendly
bacteria, for they reach up in to the
vast atmospheric covering of the
earth, and draw down into the soil
nitrogen, the valuable grain building
element.
For time the famous nitrate beds
in Chill were the great sources of nj
trogen for soils that were facing a
nitrogen famine. But soon these beds
became exhausted, and then the bac:
teriOlogists came to the rescue with
the information that there were GER
tain species of bacteria which pos
sessed the wonderful power of fixing
in the soil nitrogen from the air, in
form available for plants.
There are two distinct families Of
these bacteria which are able to util-
Hze the nitrogen of the air in their
growth. One kind of bacteria lives
entirely on their own resources. These
are present in most soils. They fix
nitrogen in amounts which have been
estimated at from fifteen to forty
pounds per acre per year under ordi-
nary conditions.
Practical farm management in.
cludes many practices which will aid
in the growth and development Of
this species of bacteria. The ordi-
nary cultivating operations which
open up the soil and permit a free
circulation Of the air enable these
free-living bacteria to grow and null
tiply, and to fix q constantly greater
amount of nitrogen from the air.
Acid soils are enemies of these bac-
terra, so that the addition of lime 70
3correct this acidity causes a greater
growth. All farm practices which
bring about good physical and chemi-
cal conditions of the soil help the &C.
tivities Of these independent friendly
bacteria In their work of capturing
1end storing nitrogen. s&E
The second family of bacteria are
those that live on the roots Of certain
legumes, clover and alfalfa, and pay
their rent by fixing nitrogen from the
air. It il true that alfalfa and clover
will grow on soils where these bac-
teria are absent, but in this case they

FARMERS CAN AID
TO AVERT FAMINE
Scarcity Of Meat Presents Sc.
lious Problem.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-The responsible
ity for averting future meat famine
was put up to small farmers by speak
ers at the eighth annual convention
Of the American Meat Packers con-
vention.
All the speakers agreed that II the
decrease in meat production of the
last ten years is not stopped the
question of the meat supply for the
United States will be most serious.
Among the remedies suggested by
the speakers were:
Every small farmer should raise
ct least two beef steers year to or
set the decrease in production Of the
great ranches of the West.
The remaining ranges should be cut
up in farms to put all farmers on an
equal footing.
Development of the hills of New,
England with their bountiful springs
and prevailing shade as beef pro-
ducing country.
Substitution of corn for cotton In
the Southern states and the con.
sequent development of the cattle and
hog production.
The report of the executive COM
mittee sounded the first note Of the
danger of famine.
"The American meat packing house
situation and that of consumers of
meat food products in this country
are both in condition more preca--
rious than at any other time in our
history" the report stated.
1.-THE shortage Of live stock, which
has been impressed upon us, as pack
ing house producers, for several
years, has been intensified during the
last year."
