 nized from the earliest days of agri- cultural history. For this reason there has always been a tendency to grow legumes especially in older farming regions
 Investigate Bacteria.
 In growing legumes it is always per tlnent to know whether proper bac- teria are present in the soil so that the legume can take part of it's supply of nitrogen from the air and not entirely from the soil. No one can tell this until the legume is tried. By digging up the plant by the roots and washing the soil away with water the nodules, if present, can easily be found. If these are not present the legume plant cannot take nitrogen from the air.
 Methods Of InocuIaton.
 When growing certain legume on a soil and especially in Q community where it has never been grown there Is always chance that artificial in oculation may be necessary. Two
 
 is known as the soil transfer method Here soil at the rate of 200 to 500 pounds to the acre is taken from an old field where the legume has been growing, and the bacteria are known to be present, and scatter over the field to be planted. With tie other method pure cultures of the strain of bacteria suited to a certain legume are made. Such cultures are made by certain commercial concerns, or may be secured in limited quantities free Of charge by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. Although soil in oculation is likely to be the more. cer- tain, the pure cultures can be used to good advantage where inoculatcd soil cannot be secured.

greatest yet recorded, according
to w. G. Phaden, of the Unlted
States Geological Survey, namely
34,S04,683 barrels of $50 pounds
each, or 4,S72,656 short tons, Valu-
ed at $10,271, 1858. Compared with
the production of 1913, which was
the largest previously recorded
there was an increase in produc-
ton of 405, 1856 barrels and oil
$148, 219 in value.
The domestic marketed produc-
ton of salt in 1914 was "a, SO4, 6o5
barrels and the imports were 1884,
319 barrels, the sum of the two
quantities being IS, 739,002 barrels
This figure, however, does not rep
resent the quantity consumed, Tor
there were exported 5S7,81S bar
rels, leaving for home use 80, l5l,-
1874 barrels, an increase Of Jas, 400
barrels, an increase of l4S, 1859
barrels, compared with 1913, but
the exports increased 85,753 bar
rels. The imported salt constitut-
ed only 2.7 per cent of the domes-
tic consumption.
Salt occurs naturally in two dis
tinct ways, as rock salt in beds or
associated with bedded or sedi-
mentary rocks, and in the form OF
natural brines or bitterns. 1t is
prepared for market by simply
crushing, and cleaning
the rock salt, or by evaporation,
which may be either natural, as
when the sun s heat is utilized, or
when steam or direct
heat is applied.

CONSUME MORE SALT
Production of United States for
1914 a Record Breaker, Accord
ing to United States Geological
Survey.

The salt industry is in some re
spects unique among the mineral
Industries. Although most OF the
metallic and Of the other nonme-
ltallic industries reflect industrial
world conditions and sometimes
sharply fuctuate with them, the
salt industry, presumably from
its intimate association with the
food supply of man, FORCES slowly
but steadily ahead, generally
keeping pace with the increase in
population. There has been a
steady downward trend in the
cost of this most necessary com
modify, owing to the abundant
sources of supply and also to the
great advances made in the last
few decades in methods of manu-
facture. The widespread distri-
button of salt, however, has led to
great multiplication Of manufact-
uring plants, so that plant capaci-
ty has greatly outstripped de-
mand. This has tended to lower
prices and to increase greatly eff
fciency Of operation in the plants
that have survived the keen COM
petition.

nited States in 1914 was the
