DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE
WILL SUPPLY FARMERS
With NITROGEN BACTERIA
Especial to TimesRecorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 31.-J. D. Price,
Georgia's commissioner of agriculture,
announced last night that Georgia
farmers can save seven-eights of what
they are now paying for nitrogen-set-
ting bacteria by ordering direct from
the department OF agriculture.
"The commercial price for these
bacteria is 50 for enough to inoculate
an acre of land; the departments price
is Csc for this quantity" said Com
missioner Price. "The department is
now ready to furnish, on an extensive
scale, bacteria at 25c an acre for the
following legumes: Hairy vetch,
crimson clover, burr clover, alfalfa
and alsike. These bacteria are very
necessary for such. crops, when grown
on soil in which they are net already
present. They form nodules on the
roots of these plants from which the
plants gather nitrogen from the air.
81 am very anxious for the people
of Georgia to know what this depart
ment is doing for their benefit to en-
courage top crops, and urge farm
ers to plant such crops on a large
scale. Seed should be inoculated with
bacteria Immediately, before the sea-
son is too late; farmers should take
advantage of this offer at once.
cat the last session of the legislature
$4,000 was appropriated to establish
and equip a laboratory in the agricul-
tural department for furnishing nitro
gen-setting bacteria at cost to the
farmers of Georgia. The department,
since then, has supplied farmers with
enough to inoculate 612 acres, at the
, cost of 25c an acre, instead of the
commercial price of 50, thus saving
farmers already over $1,000, more than
half of the legislatures appropriation
Georgia farmers can get bacteria
for the crops named above by writing
to the department, enclosing Csc for
each acre; the department will send
with each order directions for inocu-
lation."

BOOZE GETS SOCIETY
YOUNGSTER in dutch
(By Associated Press. }

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 31.-Half At,
lanta clubdom is laughing today over
the escapade last night of a young So
ciety man who imbibed too freely and
found his way into the wrong fiat
1t came very near being tragedy, in
stead of a comedy, however.
The young clubman meandered at
midnight to an apartment on Cain
street which closely resembled his
own, found the front door unlocked,
went in, discovered an open room, dis
robed and went to sleep. Ten minutes
afterward the woman who occupied
the apartments arrived on the scene
and sent in a burglar alarm. The
young man, aroused by the excitement,
left without waiting to dress, while
the son-in-law of the irate lady fired
five shots at the clubman as he left
the house.
The identity of the midnight visitor
was disclosed by documents left in the
pockets Of a handsome overcoa' and
other garments, which are being Neld
until he calls for them.
