BIG IMPORTANCE OF
LEGUME INCUBATION
Soil Fertility Increased by PIoW-
ing Under Leguminous Crop,
Says an Expert.

For centuries 1egumes have been
used In crop rotation because they en-
rich the soil. Why alfalfa, the clo-
vers and other similar crops make the
soil richer was discovered about 80
years ago, when it was shown that le-
gumes can use the nitrogen Of the at
mosphere while other plants must take
it from the soil. By blowing under
leguminous crop, soil fertility may be
increased by that nitrogen taken from
the air.
the leguminous plant, however, can
get its nitrogen from the air only
through bacteria, living on it's roots.
Certain bacteria in the soil enter the
small roots and cause them to swell
into wartlike growths of nodules. In
side of these nodules millions of the
legume bacteria grow and these are
agents that take the. nitrogen from
the air and give it to the plants. With
out bacteria the legume plant will not
use nitrogen from the air, but from
the soil the same as any other crop.
To use atmospheric nitrogen as fer
tilfzer one must make certain that the
proper bacteria are present in the soil.
This can be done by inoculating,
which consists in applying the. bac-
terra to the seed or scattering them on
the field. The bacteria can be had in
soil where legume grew recently and
produced nodules, or in pure cultures
grown in special laboratories. The use
Of the soil is as effective as the pure |
culture, according to w. A. Albrecht
Of the University of Missouri College
Of Agriculture, but often a properly
soil cannot be had.

ARMY ARlsToCRACY.

It has been announced by the Adju.
tant General at Washington that re.
serve officers and candidates for Off
GERS commissions are expected to
serve three months In the training
camps without pay. Congress, 1t ap.
nears has not appropriated any money
for them. The Adjutant General,
moreover, appears to think il proper
that the men should give their time
to this work without compensation.
The system is wholly wrong. 1t IL
unfair to the citizens Immediately
concerned, and 1t Is unwise as a mat.
ter Of policy.
Most of the men are sacrificing
tleir usual incomes while they attend
the training camps Many of them
have dependents, so that the loss OF
income means positive hardship. The
United States has plenty of money.
Indeed. money Is the cheapest thing
we have Whe we have appropriated
billions OF dollars to pay war cx-
pcnses, why be so stingy with tho
1906 cltlzeLs who are now to be
whipped iato shape az officers for our
new army? Paying them for their
services would seem to be the first OF
our legitimate army expenses.
The policy, however IS essentially
bad because ii Is undemocratic II
candidates for officers commissions
are not paid while they are undergo
Ing their preparatory training, none
but rich mon can afford The training
We shall therefore have tho founda
ton for an aristocratic military caste
the one thing we want most to
avoid.
I Proper and equal compensation for
all citizens who give up their ordinary
vocations to serve their country is the
indispensable basis Of democratic
army and the preservation Of demo
cratic ideals.

THE LATEST FASHION.

The most amazing fashions is now
upon us. 1t is fashionable to ceono
: mize.
One of the countless organizations
which have sprung up in response to
needs occasioned by the war, the Ma.
tional Special Aid Society mentions
those interesting illustrations of the
new style:
1t is good form to dress plainly.
1t is good form to live frugally.
1t is good form to give simple pres.
ents.
It is good form to plant vegetables
instead of flowers.
It is good form to avoid cxtrava-
gance Of every kind.
1t is bad form to set an elaborate
table.
1t is bad form to wear jewelry in
public.
1t is bad form to give costly pres
ents or expensive entertainments.
These items are enough to Indicate
the trend of the style. Any man or
woman may easily figure out further
applications.
It's all very sensible, considering
that we're now at war, facing the
prospect of enormous national expen.
ditures that all OF us will have 10
share in one way or another and the
more serious prospect of actual scar
city of food and other necessarie9 of
life. But that's the most remarkable
thing about it. Who would ever have
thought It would be fashionable to be
sensible?
