Brookings.-In order to grow alfalfa,
II must be supplied with bacteria OF
the proper kind. These bacteria form
nodules on the alfalfa roots and have
the power of taking nitrigen from the
air and combining it in such a way
that plants may use 1t.
Where alfalfa or sweet clover has
never grown, it may be necessary to
supply the bacteria artificially. The
easiest way to do this is to scatter
the soil from a we'll established alfalfa
field over the LAND to be seeded.
In securing the soil for inoculation
purposes, the top two inches OF soil
should be removed and the soil taken
from the next six inches,
The soil should not be allowed to dry
in the sunlight or be exposed to II, as
the strong sunlight kills the bacteria.
Inoculate the field Just before seeding,
sowing the soil broadcast by hand and
follow Immediately with a harrow to
prevent injury to the bacteria by the
sunlight. Some kinds of drills may
also be used for sowing the inoculat-
ing soil.
For incubation. from two hundred
pounds to five hundred pounds OF soil
per acre is recommended. though more
may be used if available.
There is, of course, a chance OF get
ting weed pests in the soil used for
inoculating purposes, and for this rea-
son soil should not be used from farms
where quack grass, dodder or other
pests are known to exist. Soil should
not be used from fields in which alfal-
ia is not healthy, as some of the al.
falfa diseases may be transmitted to
the new fields.
The soil in which sweet clover
grows may be used for inoculating pur-
poses just as well as that from alfalfa
fields and should be treated as direct
ed for soil from alfalfa fields.
Cultures 81 bacteria for inoculating
purposes are sold by certain compa-
MES. While the South Dakota Expert
ment Station has not investigated the
efficiency of this method, the recon-
%mendation of other experiment sta
tons is hat it is still in an expert
mental stage and should be considered
accordingly. "Inoculation with soil
from a well established alfalfa field
gave uniformly better results than
were secured by use of liquid cul-
ures."-(Nebraska Experiment Sta
tion.)
Alfalfa will not grow well on sour
soils. Sour soils may be sweetened
by applying ground Limestone. II you
are in doubt as to whether or not your
soil is sour, fill a jint jar with it and
send it to the Agronomy Department,
State College, Bookings. S. d., and
they will tell you if 1t needs limestone
and how much it needs.-By J. G. Hut
ton, Assistant ~Agronomist, State Col
lege.

There is as much individuality and

al institution (181O.
Scientific experiment and research
were first nurtured by the School OF
Medicine QS34), and popular science
teaching by the School OF Science
QS61). In these institutions were TO-
cused for many years the intellectual
life of the town.
Then came Bishop Lightfoots
dream of a great civic school of learn
ing, and the foundation of University
college (1SS1) with six endowed
chairs, three unendowed medical
chairs, and SO students. In 1884 the
college was admitted to the federal
Victoria university, and in 1908 raised
to the dignity of a separate univer-
sity. It now has 1,200 students, a
stai of $50 professors and lecturers
and possesses a property worth close
upon $4,000, 000-a splendid memorial
of local patriotism.
Rapid growth and a generous ex-
pansion of curriculum are the princi-

tional development rendered possible
by munificent voluntary effort. The
university Is really strong in Ines I
development which could not have

Is because Liverpool has been

Ideals s~pringing from the ever in
