THE F|XAQ0N Of NJ
TROGEN IN THE SOIL
Experimental Station Bacterioloeist
Says Bacteria Take Nitrogen From
Air For Deposit in Soil.

1t is a well known fact that either
fields or unbroken land allowed to run
without tillage will gradually increase
IN nitrates, sometimes as much as
twenty-five to thirty percent For a
number OF years this was a matter of
much discussion and was explained in
various ways. However, it was final.
ly discovered that this was the work
OF bacteria and that these bacteria
take free nitrogen from the air and
convert it into plant food in the soil.
This process is called nitrogen fxa-
ton
Process of Fixation.
There is another process of tixa
tlon which must be distinguished from
the process just mentioned and that is
the process which takes place in the
nodules on the roots of leguminous
plants. Both of these processes of tix.
alton are brought about by bacteria
but the organisms which cause them
are entirely different The bacteria
which work in the nodules will not fix
nitrogen In the soil while those which
work in the soil will not fix nitrogen
in the nodules Of legumes.
Bacteria as Aid.
The bacteria which fix free nitro
gen In the soil are capable of doing
their work quite rapidly It has been
demonstrated quite conclusively that
they are able to fix considerable
amounts Of nitrogen in as short time
as 10 days or two weeks when all OF
the controlling factors are favorable.
Only part Of the factors which con.
troll their work have been determined,
but some of the more important ones
are known. Probably one of the more
important of these factors is the ad.
dition Of lime to the soil as It seems
that lime is a great help to these or.
ganisms in carrying on their work.
They usually work in the first foot OF
soil or in that part which is reached
py the plow, but as previously stated
they may also work In soil that has
never been titled.
Value Of Bacteria.
The value of their work can hard.
ly be estimated in dollars and cents
for they work almost the entire year
storing up in the soil this most cost.
ly of plant food, while at the same
time they are practically unaided in
their work and do not cost the farmer
one cent.

HOW TO MAKE GOOD SILAGE
Various Methods That May Be Used
With Success In Arkansas.

Various Methods That May Be Used
With Success In Arkansas.
Corn should be harvested for silage
when in the denting or glazing stage
Sorghums should be allowed Ia
grow until the seed is perfectly ma
ture.
Harvest with corn binder as bun
dies are the most convenient Ia
handle.
Have plenty OF power and labor SO
that the filing can be done rapidly, AZ
1t is more economical to run at full
capacity.
Mlnee the Forage.
Chop the forage In lengths not IA
exceed onehalf to threequarters
inches in length. They pack more
closely and therefore exclude DIR more
effectively.
Distribute the light and heavy par.
ticles uniformly over the surface OF
the silo to insure even settling.
Keep the surface In the silo saucer.
shaped with the high side next to the
walls.
Tramp tho entire surface thorough.
ly, but more specially around the
walls.
Use Plenty Of Water.
II the crop has beon frosted or rather
mature add plenty OF water, Do not
be afraid OF adding too much but avoid
adding too little.
Running water into the blower OF
the cutter is the best way to add wa.
ter az II is then evenly distributed.
Snap tho cars out OF tho last two or
three loads OF corn TO save the grain,
When reflling on old silage, remove
all spoiled silage before putting In
new.
Seal the silo by thoroughly tramp.
ing and soaking the top OF the silage
for several days after filing and allow.
ing the silo TO seal itself.
II your silo was air and water tight
At tho beginning you will have good
silage,

WORD OF WARNING
ISSUED BY BRYAN
Rank And File Are Produc-
ers Of Wealth, Not Manu-
facturers Of Arms.

If any democrat, in Office or out
of office, imagines that the demo-
cratic party can be frightened into
frenzied preparedness he is making
a serious mistake. We are now
spending more than two hundred
and fifty millions a year on the
army and navy, ten times as much as
we>are spending on the department
of agriculture. We have been get
ting ready" by gradually enlarging
the appropriations. Why get excit-
ed now? Our preparedness is in
creasing RELATIVELY as other
nations exhaust themselves. No
nation wants to engage in war with
us-no war is in sight or even prob
able, unless we deliberately invite
it by falsely accusing other nations
of being enemies. and by making
hatred a national policy.
The rank and file of the demo-
cratic party are producers of wealth
not manufacturers of arms and
ammunition-and they will n o
consent to the taxes necessary to
meet the program of the jingoes
The masses favor peace and know
that preparedness" is both a burden
and a menace.-W. j. Bryan.

SOMETHING ABOUT COW PEAS
They Are The Farmers Friend, Says Asricul
tural Commissioner John PAGE.

John H. Page, commissioner of
agriculture, has this to say about
COW peas:
The farmers should plow under
the peavine stubble instead of cut
ting a second time, as many are
doing. Plow under the green vines
this fall and they will enrich your
land for next year more than their
value for hay. Do all the fall
breaking you can, and plow deep.
1t was easy to make a crop this
year because the season was good,
and plenty of rain fell. Next year
it may not be so. Remember that
almost any method of cultivation
will make a good crop in a good
season, while it takes t h e best
methods and the greatest of care
and labor to make a good crop in a
bad season.
Get more land into hay and pas
ture crops. Such system simpli-
fies farming. You can follow a hay
crop with any crop you like, Hay
is easy to grow and is valuable. 1t
provides means of lessenine labor
and costs, and brings good returns.
A crop of corn at 40 bushels to the
acre is not more profitable crop
than a ton of hay to the acre, all
things considered. If you can do
so, provide pasture for hogs, cattle
and sheep. Thus the stock gather
that much of the crop and feed
themselves, A pasture S much
better than outside range. Be sure
to save enough seed peas for next
year and some to spare for your
neiehbors. Cow peas are doing
more than anything else these days
to increase the richness Of the soil.
Stick to them They are the farm.

attentions to Vina Edwards, an in
mate of the tough district, raided
the woman's house single-handed,
made her son 90 home and escorted
the woman to the police station,
where she was given hours to leave
town.
Eighty acres of land cleared and
cultivated without a horse or mule
setting foot on the place is the rec
ord made by W. C. Wyckoff, farm
er at Marinette, Wisconsin. His
farm was entirely raw land in the
spring of 1914. A 11-ton tractor
furnishes the power for his work,
whether it be clearing land, plowing
or harvesting.
A horse belonging to Allen Moore
of Sunbury, Pennsylvania, fell into
an old abandoned well on the Allen
farm and was drawn out with the
aid of a block and tackle. An old
and rusty bucket was found caught
in one of the horses shoes when he
emerged from the well, and when
this bucket was examined it was
found to contain Spanish money to
the value Of $4,000.
AT Martins Ferry, Ohio, q party
of young ladies on vacation were
camped near the factory of the
Riverside Bridge Co. When the
girls began to bathe in the water
every day, clad in garbs described
as close to nature" the workmen
in the factory threw down their
tools and spent their time in the
windows and on the roof of the
building watching the antics of the
fair bathers, The bridge company
threatened to sue the girls if they
didn't move their camp. And
they moved.

tions. The one big exception is Maude
Adams and this popular actress 1t
seems would be welcome at any old
season of the year. Just now there
is a good deal of interest being taken
in the engagement of the little lady
which is to take place at the Grand
May 10. AS is known the play in
which She is to be seen is Barrie's
early comedy, equality Street. first
given in this country fourteen years
ago The success it met with at that
time 1t is said to be more than dupl1-
eating during its present revival.
Time seems to have improved the
comedy and it's presentation at the
hands of Miss Adams is said to be
an artistic delight. That elusive, in
definable something in dramatic per-
formances, which for the want or a
better name is termed atmosphere, is
employed in the play not only by the
scenic investiture, which is reflective
of the NapoleOnic period, but by lang
uage which is as quaint and as Old
fashioned as the bombazine gowns the
women wear. Falling upon unfamiliar
ears such expressions as ''d7 you opin-
ion" for "do you think and may L
solicit for may I ask" sound strange.
But they add no little to the far
awayness'' of the whole, for the scene
is laid in the early nineteenth CEN

ers are in Miss Adams'S supporting
company.

Years come and years go, and many
brilliant stars illuminate the skies OF

still the public opinion is that there is
but one Sousa. He and his band are

and his band are revelation, and
have become standards for instru-
mental perfection. Many musicians
attend the Sousa concerts to learn and
to receive inspiration. They are edi-
