(By O. II. ALFORD)
Leguminous crops have very i'm
portant place In every safe and sane
system OF farming. These crops pos
sess characteristic which makes
them OF the highest value to farmers.
This is the power to utilize the free
nitrogen Of the solid air. When we ex-
anime the roots of luxuriantly grow
ing plants, we find numerous nodules
or tubercles on them These tuber-
oles are caused by certain organisms
or bacteria in the soil. It now seems
mat there is a special form OF bac-
teria for each legume grown. though
some forms of bacteria In time learn

II is matter of great Importance
to furnish the soil lacking the neces-
sary organisms with a good supply
OF the right kind. There are several
methods of putting the necessary bac-
terra In the soil. A good way of in
oculating the soil is to soak the seed
st planting time In water in which
the soil from a field where the legume
has been successfully grown for a
number OF years has been stirred. An
other excellent way of inoculating the
soil is to drill in with the seed soil in
which that particular legume has been
grown for number OF years. Care
should be taken to keep the soil out
OF the sunshine from the time IL Is
taken from the field until II is worked
into the sol! of the next, as the rays
OF the sun kill the bacteria. 1t is best
TO get the soil and apply it on a
cloudy day. or late in the afternoon.
Nitrogen is the costliest element of
plant food and is becoming scarcer
and dearer 30 far as its commercial
forms are concerned. This being true.

system of farming which provides
means for the collection of this valu-
able and costly element from the air
and medium through which it can be
stored up for the use OF succeeding
crops Is OF the highest Importance and
utility to farmers. Experiments con-
Quoted at the Alabama station shows
that a crop of pea vines grown on an
acre OF sandy soil of moderate fertil-
fty contained 115 pounds Of nitrogen;
an acre Of velvet beans, 201 pounds;
an acre OF crimson clover, 143 pounds,
and an acre of hairy vetch 202 pounds.
An experiment conducted at Louis

nuts contained 1872 pounds OF nitrogen;
an acre OF velvet beans, l91 pounds,
and an acre OF cowpeas, los pounds.
When calculated according to the scale
OF fertilizer valuation, the value Of nj
trogen exceeded the cost OF a ton OF
ordinary complete fertilizer. The nj.
trogen was equivalent in amount to

more than one ton of cottonseed meal.

positively that the nitrogen in the soil
Will be increased by the growing of
leguminous crops, even though the

the greatest honesty and courage. Let
US choose man whom on all acca-
sions is the most representative man,
who will do the right thing at the
right time. * s. $ A man bred on a
Minnesota farm, a typical American
who knows the state like book and
who already enjoys the friendship and
confidence of the leading men of the
country and who has the united sup
port OF the country press of the great
state of Minnesota. The man who
possesses these ideal qualifications is
Hon. Frank B. Kellogg of St. Paul, the
great national authority on corpora
tons and the friend of business men
and farmers alike. The Press strong
ly urges his election because he has
the best ability, the most rugged hon.
esty and the kind of a backbone that
will not break. This paper is support
ing MIR. Kellogg without fear or favor,
irrespective of party lines, for it is
our firm conviction that through his
election we are serving the best inter-

Sanguine of Success.

Frank. Kellogg's speaking tour
through the southern part of the
state, seems to have been one con-
tinual ovation. Kellogg advocates
some things that the people want and
he has the happy faculty of putting
his ideas before the public in manner
that wins their approval and conf
dence. Mr.. Kellogg may not be much
of politician, but he is thoughtful
student of public affairs and can dis
cuss them from any point of view, and
the way the people are hocking to his
standard is very gratifying to those
who are tired Of political chicanery
and are glad to find one to discuss real
ideas. The country press which in a
way is responsible for Mr.. Kellogg's
candidacy for United States senator
is doing valiant service in his behalf
and his friends are quite sanguine of
success for him.-Elk River Star News.

for some time. He came to Long Siding
nine years ago, when there was prae-

CANTATAPRESENTED
By the Cambridge Choral Union at the
Armory on Monday Evening De-
lights Princeton Audience.
Despite the Disagreeable Weather,
About 800 People Greeted Songs
tiers of Our Sister Village.

Monday would indeed have been a
pleasant day had Princeton people
possessed the power to control the
the weather. The Cambridge Choral
Union visited our village upon that oc-
casion, and despite the fact that all
possible pressure was brought to bear
upon the weather man, the day set in
cloudy, dismal and dreary, and the
dank and drizzly weather continued
throughout the afternoon and evening.
Notwithstanding this, however, a
fair sized audience turned out to
hear the songsters Of our neighboring
village present "The Holy City," an
oratorio of sacred character, and the
program was, more than enjoyed by
those present.
The Cambridge Choral Union is an
organization embracing membership
of IS, including benedicts, youths and
charming maids and matrons. With
the exception Of Mr.. Bloom, all are
residents of Cambridge, and the cho-
rus is indeed a credit to that village.
Contemplation was the subject
of part one of the sacred cantata, and
it opened with an orchestra selection.
Chorus numbers, vocal solos, DUETS
and quartets followed, and highly
pleased audience showed its apprecia-
ton time and time again.
The first part consisted of QUOTA
tons from the Scriptures and anth-
ems, all contemplative Of "The Holy
City," while part two, which was en-
titled "Adoration," was Of a wor-
shipful character. Complete programs
were given out, and what was being
sung could be read word for word.
Four soloists were used, viz: Mrs.
H. A. Peterson, soprano; Mrs. Martina
Erickson, contralto; Mr.. Paul Bloom,
tenor, and Mr.. C. H. Sutherland, bass.
Each one did splendidly.
All in all the entertainment was
one of more than ordinary merit, and
the difficult parts Of the oratorio were
interpreted by the musicians from our
sister county, in a manner that showed
native ability, and careful training.
Those in attendance were unanimous
in expressing their delight over the
program listened to, and that Cam
bridge has a chorus of which it can
we'll feel proud, was the verdict Of all.

No Action Taken.

:, A Mr.. Smith of Webster, Wisconsin,
met with the Commercial club at the
Office of Mcmillan & Stanley last ev-
ening and submitted proposition to
the business men of Princeton to To-
cate shoe factory here. The fac
tory would be capitalized at 500, 1000,
and the proposition was to have local
parties subscribe for $4,000 worth of
stock. No action was taken in the
matter, and sentiment did not seem
favorable to the proposal. The factor,
is now located in the Wisconsin village
and it only employs 36 people.

Regular Season Opens Sunday.

Next Sunday the Princeton town ball
team will be seen in action for the
first time this season. "Pongo" o.
son has scheduled a game with the
Mora aggregation, and the contest
should be a real exhibition. hewitt
will be on the mound for Princeton,
and the fans will be afforded an op-
portunity to size up the well-known
Anoka hurler. The last time Mora
appeared here it was on deck with a
collection of big leaguers, ex-leaguers
and one or two real ball players were
included in the lot. Princeton made
it extremely interesting for them upon
that occasion-the count s.ood. l to 0
and the local boys expect to grab
the long end Of the score this time.
Turn out and see the opening game
of the 1916 season. .

Travels From Texas on Motor Cycl,

Travels From Texas on Motor Cycle
C. L. Peters, of San Antonio, Texas
arrived in Princeton Tuesday after
noon riding a Harley-Davidson motor
cycle, on his way to Wahkon. He
made the trip in nine days actual road
time, and from the appearance of
the luggage he carried with him, and
his rugged appearance, he seems to
be none the worse for the trip, al
though there were many difficulties en-
countered. Mr.. Peters informs us thai
people in the neighborhood of his home
city, which is not great distance from
the Mexican border, are not so con-
cerned over the Mexican situa-
ton as are some of us farther north,
who have only unreliable sources from
which to gain our information. He
states that people have grown ac-
customed to this and that report, and
pay no more attention to its details
than any everyday incident. Mr..
Peters and his Harley Davidson
show the effects of a long, hard trip,
alright, and no doubt he is thankful
that his journey is almost terminated.

Pres. Vincent's Coming Appreciated.
President George E. Vincent of the
State university is without exception
the best public speaker in the state
of Minnesota. His services as an
orator, especially at this season of the
year, are. in great demand. He has
kindly consented to attend the high
school graduating exercises at Prince
ton and deliver the commencement ad-
dress. The school board was, indeed,
fortunate in being able to. secure him
for this occasion. There is not a col
lege or high school in the state that
would not be glad and proud to have
President Vincent at their graduating
exercises. The spacious armory will
be crowded with an appreciative audi
ence to listen to President Vincent on
the evening 4of June LIST next.

Glendorado Farmers Club Meeting.

Glendorado Farmers Club Meeting
Yesterday afternoon the hall over
Odegard's store in Glendorado was
densely packed with members of the
Glendorado Farmers club. and their
families to listen to Hon. A. F. Tigen
of Montevideo. The Glendorado band
was on hand and enlivened the occa-
sion by splendidly rendering several
selections. The band is certainly a
credit to the thriving hamlet of Glen
dorado and vicinity. Hon. Edward
Irdrehus, in the absence Of the pres1-
dent of the club, presided and intro
duced the speakers.
R. G. Dunn talked for 40 minutes on
the road laws Of the STATE. Mr.. Tigen
spoke at some length. He called at
ton to the day as being the Norwe-
gians' Fourth of July, then he launched
into his favorite topic.-the marketing
Of farm products. He claimed that the
farmers, and more especially the
the wheat-raisers, were not getting a
square deal, but he did not make it
s<clear to his listeners how he proposed
to remedy the evils he complained Of.
He referred to several bills that had
been introduced in the last legislature,
none of which became laws, but he
did not go into details as to what the
bills would have accomplished if they
had been enacted into laws. He also
paid his respects to the cattle dealers
of South St. Paul, but here again he
failed to tell how conditions could be
bettered. -
His severe criticism of the railroad
and warehouse commissioners and the
so-caled efficiency and economy COM
mission, and his savage denunciation
Of the grain gamblers OF Minneapolis
and Chicago seemed to meet with the
approval Of the audience. z",s
while there was much truth in
the charges and assertions Of Mr..
Tigen, yet. we repeat. ne did not
make it plain how matters could be
remedied. He rightly said that there
were too many bills introduced in the
legislature and that too many Of them
became laws, but how to lessen the
evil is problem not easy Of solution.
That Mr.. Tigen is honest and we'll
meaning no one who has served with
him in the legislature will gainsay,

NOTES..

Claire Smith, last seasons captain
Of the regulars, took on the duties of
umpire, and got away with it in good
shape.
This may be the last game the
locals will play at home, but the town
team will entertain the fans of this
vicinity with some rafting good con-
tests, commencing next Sunday, when
it clashes with Mora.
That Anoka should win was to be
expected. The school is larger, and
the material to select from is not as
limited there. Had Princeton played
up to it's usual form, however, the
score would have been closer.
Princeton negotiated only three hits,
and Jesmer secured two of these.
Grow poled out the other one.
The score book shows five earned
runs for Anoka, and one for Princeton.
The saddest feature of it is the fact
that it is the only run for Princeton
that 1t shows.
The locals have no reason to feel
disheartened. Almost all the players
are in the game for the first time this
season, and they are showing up well.
They can be depended upon to make
it extremely interesting for any
team representing school the size of
the Princeton high.

too radical and prone to talk too much.
A member of the legislature, however,
who is not radical and does not do
some talking will not get very far.
Certainly Mr.. Tigen has the courage
of his convictions.
On the whole Mr.. Tigen's two hours
talk was decidedly interesting, and
was attentively listened to by the
large and intelligent audience.
