With the commencement of the
new year all the railroads of the
United States established a limit on
the size of baggage parcels which
will be transported by them. For
years they have had a weight limit
and now there is to be a limit in
the dimensions. No package meas
uring more than 70 inches in any di-
rection will be accepted.

MILLS RIVER REPLIES.


Since u last writing the women of
the betterment association have de.
cided to put in four more new. Hylo
plate black boards for the school in
addition to two recently installed by
the school trustees. These when put
in: will make in all nearly 100 feet of
black board for the school, and will
add much to the work. They also de-
eided the important matter of helping
to work up defamation and recitation
contests for the boys and girls of the
high school. The dates for these con-
tests will be sometime after Christ
mas. Medals will be offered in each.
Some talk has been circulated about
Community Service day for this place
and it is hoped that several or all who
can may find out what this day means
for the school and community and
then take an active part in work for
lettering the school on December 3rd,
Mr.. M. S. Leverett, who has been a
citizen of Texas, is now a permanent
member of this community. He has
moved his family into a new house

hope Mr.. Leverett may like Mills River
people and extend to him a welcome
into our community life.
Since our last writing, Mr.. G.. P.
Barnett's little son, Allen, had the
misfortune of falling from a horse
and breaking his arm. The injury is
painful and the boy must miss several
days of school. He is reported to be
improving very we'll at present.

GREEN-MANURE CROPS MUST BE
NOCULATED TO INSURE RESULTS

Agricultural authorities say that
many farmers fail to obtain full bene-
fit from turning under legume crops
for green manure because of the lack
OF root nodules. The chief benefit OF
legume corps is due to minute soil
bacteria which grow in association
with the roots of the legume plant and
convert the nitrogen of the air into
available plant food. Furthermore,
with each legume crop is associated
its own individual strain of material.
For example, the bacteria which grow
upon the roots of alfalfa will lot de-
velop with the lima bean. In areas
over which any particular legume a
been grown for a number of years it
is generally found that the soil is ma.
turally inoculated, but when nature
has not already provided the proper
bacteria in the soil artificial inocula-
! ton is essential. Introducing new
kinds of crops into any locality usual
ly requires the Introduction of the pro-
per bacteria for the new legume. This
may be accomplished either by scat
Eterlng soil dug from a field of a we'll
inoculated crop of the same kind or
by moistening the seeds of the legume
crop to be planted with a culture OF
the proper variety of bacteria. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has cultivated and distributed
LIQUID pure cultures of these beneficial
bacteria for several years.
In general it may be said that 1nocu-
lation presents few difficulties to those
who are willing to do work carefully.
Whether naturally inoculated soil or
critical cultures should be used de-
ponds upon local conditions. When
soil is used great care should be K
ercised to dig it only from fields nat
are free from Objectionable weeds and
from serious plant diseasest-U. s.

The figures show that the per centage
of illiteracy in the rural districts Of
North Carolina is 1876 and 40 per cent
in the cities and villages of the State.
North Carolina has 291,497 i~lliterates

Dangers TO the eye.

Mr.. Louis Bell, the electrical illu,
minating expert, and Dr. +, II. Yer
hoeff. an eye specialist, have published
in Science their opinion that the al
legged dangers to the eye fIem ultra
violet radiation of sunlight and vari-
Gus artificial lights amount to nothing
at all. They admit that there have
been many sensational attacks" upon
modern illuminants as dangerous by
reason of injurious effects OF ultra
violet or actinic rays, but these have
entirely neglected any quantitative
relation between the radiation and its
supposed pathological effects" Very
little of these rays can penetrate the
cornea, and the crystalline lens cuts
off completely those that straggle
through toward the retina. Protective
glasses are useful only. they conclude.

1t as marvellous feat.
