tice to Preside at Vacation
Term of Court.

The subcommittee investigating the
impeachment charges against Justice
Daniel Thew Wright will meet three
days a week hereafter. and the morning
sessions on Mondays. Wednesdays. and
Fridays will not begin until Ills o'clock,
in order to permit Justice Wright to
preside at the vacation term Of the Dis
trict Supreme Court
This was decided at the conclusion OF
Yesterdays session, when Attorney Oar.
lineton explained to the committee that
Justice Wright would be the only JUS
tice sitting during the vacation term.
In the evidence submitted to the COM
mittee at the conclusion Of The Times
report yesterday much Of a technical
nature was given by Attorney Henry 8.
Classy, who was one OF the attorneys
in the suit Of Libbey VS.. Matthews, In
which a ruling OF Justice Wright was
complained Of Mr.. Classy said that
in prohibiting attorneys for Mr.. Mat
thew 10 inquire into certain items In q
Dill OF lumber on which Libbey sought
satisfaction from Matthews.
Justice Wright ruled that the ac.
count was a stated account and could
not be taken UP item by item" said Mr..
Classy. and when came into the case
en- a motion for a new trial i argued
that the court erred in so ruling. The
attorney for the other side said I was
wrong In my argument; that the court
ruled that a definite sum was promised
and the stated account incident did
not occur. The court acquisced in this
statement. and ! argued that the two
rulings we're Identical. and. meant the
same thing.
The motion for a new trial was over
ruled. and We went to the Court Of APP
peals The upper court reversed the de-
cision of the lower court, but not on
the point about which the differences
arose between Justice Wright and Mr..
Mathews counsel"

ALFALFA lMoouLAI

PROBABLY one OF the least con-
sidered points regarding the Gull
ture of alfalfa is incubation. This
subject was most thoroughly dis
cussed at last years corn, clover
and alfalfa convention at Grand
Forks. and the combined expert
ence OF q number OF North Da-
kota's best farmers was drawn
upon for advice as to this import
ant subject.
The term incubation has ref
erence to the introduction Of mi.
mute organisms into the soil, The
presence Of these organisms is
necessity for a thrifty stand of
alfalfa. owing to the fact that
without their help the alfalfa
plant cannot obtain normal
quantity Of nitrogen from the soil
in time but this is usually q slow
and expensive process. Some soils
seem to be naturally inoculated,
but they are rare in this state.
The inOculating medium may be
introduced with the seed, by dust
blown from some other alfalfa
field, by running water or other
means. North Dakota soils as q
rule. however should be artificial
ly inoculated.
4. Soil method of incubation
Obtain soil from field where al
falfa is not growing vigorously
and on whose roots modules can
be found in abundance. One hun
dred pounds per acre scattered
broadcast by hand over the new
alfalfa field on cloudy day and
h0rrnuod in ic crff;o;or4 =.
oculate, the land. Five pounds of
such soil screened and dry en-
ough to take a granular form 8"
mixed with the seed and sown
through the drill will inoculate an
acre Of land. If fifty to a hundred
pounds of such soil is put in keg
and water leaked through it. and
II the teachings are used to soak
the seed before planting. the field
should be thoroughly inoculated.
In all inOculation work. the i'm
portant thing is to get live. vigor-
Gus bacteria which live on the al
falfa plant from an old alfalfa
field in contact with the seed and
roots of the new plants.
2: Pure Culture Method of In
oculation: Pure cultures for al
falfa are simply the macerated
nodules which contain bacteria
that grow on the alfalfa plant.
These are usually put in a con-
venient package and given q trade
name together with directions for
their application. In farm prac-
tice such cultures are not always
successful. probably because the
directions are not followed CLOSE
~ enough. The soil method is pro-
badly the safest and least exDen-
sive of the two. although excellent
results are to be expected from
pure. cultures if directions are
carefully read and followed.
