BACTERIA FOR YELLOW ALF-
ALTA,
Sickly Appearance Indicates That
Soil Needs incubation.


From some sections of the state
the farm crops section of the Iowa
agricultural experiment station is re-
ceiving complaint that the alfalfa
seeded last year has yellow, sickly
appearance and is producing only a
small yield of hay, though on good
ground and free from weeds. In
such cases 1t is most likely that the
soil lacks tho bacteria SO essential
to alfalfa.
This can be determined by pulling
up few plants and noting If the bac-
terra nodules are we'll scattered
among the finer roots. If not, the
soil needs incubation and if the
stand is good perhaps the field can
be saved by scattering inoculated
soil over the surface and narrowing
and discing it in. The inoculated
soil should be we'll covered promptly
for the sunlight will otherwise kill
the bacteria. This soil may be Sc
cured from field. which is already
growing alfalfa or sweet clover sue
cessfully and should be used at the
rate of about 800 pounds per acre.

Two street railway presidents, L. A.

committee from the street car mems
union in Busby's ONCE in the Borland
block at $50 last night. Busby read
them what he calls an offer of pay
raises for the men. He offers:
For the first year of the new agree
ment-Nothing to the 4th-year men,
nothing to the 5th-year men, nothing
to the 6th-year men,.
For the second year-A half-cent
raise per hour for the 4th-year men,
nothing for the 5th-year men, moth
ing for the 6th-year men.
For the third year of the new
agreement-A half-cent an hour for
the 4th-year men, nothing for the
5th-year men, nothing for the 9Th
year men.
As laid out in tables for printing in
the newspapers it looks as though
Busby is ready to raise wages. When
the tables are analysed they mean
only that small pay raises are Of
fered to the new men.

One of the union officials points to
the statement of Busby at Springfield
that S5 per cent of the men working
for the surface lines are now getting
the maximum wage. Therefore the
pay raises now offered will reach only
Is per cent of the men.
Busby's letter admits that since
1907 the surface lines have earned
net profits of $13,O00,000 and during
the last five years made cleanup
of $31, 100000 of clear cold cash di-
vided among owners of the street
railways. This is $31, 900, 900 of "in-
terests on capital account" Busby
points to as flair and reasonable"
He denies $31, 100000 is enormous
profits" and asserts the rate of return
in this class of securities has dropped
from 6.5 per cent to SAT per cent.
Also, Busby offers arbitration. But
the arbitration must be only of points
of dispute outside of the points set
forth in his letter This would tie the
car mems union down to arbitratIng
only what Busby wants arbitrated.
The car men have some ideas of their
own about fixing conditions of arbi-
tration. They will be handed to Bus
by and Blair in a few days.
