IMPORTANT MINE
SALE IS CLOSED

A most important deal involving Willow creek quartz property was closed recently says the Anchorage Daily Times, when the control of the Gold Cord mine passed from By ron Bartholf, Charles Bartholf, and W. s. Horning, to John Smith and Jos. s. Swan.
 The cash consideration was $5O,- 900 and the money has been paid over. The Gold Cord was discover ed by Byron and Charles Bartholf ir 1915 and later that season W. S.. Horning purchased one-fourth in terest in the property. Over ST. 900 has been expended in develop ing the property and putting it on & working basis. The mill test of 100 tons that was run through the Independence mill last year netted $12.2O 8 ton and since then the tunnel work and other development has opened up ore of exceptionally high grade. MT. Martin is workin" the property this year on a lease and will probably have charge of the winter work planned by the new owners. MT. Smith and MT. Swan h,re been in the district for several weeks and are personal friends Of Frank -Bartholf, who is one of the pioneer operators and has large holdings in the district.

tiles artificial incubation for cow
peas Is unnecessary and In sections OF
the middle West bacteria which thrive
on the roots of clover and alfalfa are
already present.
Artificial incubation can be. accom-
plishe1 by spreading sstl from we'll
established field, where the particular
legume which Is to be grown has been
successful, upon the new land to be
planted with that legume, and also by
the use Of pure cultures Of the prop
er bacteria. The United States de-
partlnent Of agriculture is prepared to
supply enough Of the pure culture to
inoculate one bushel Of seed, and this
culture can be obtained In bottles
which contain complete directions FOR
use. Application blanks for these cul-
lures may be obtained from the depart
ment at Washington, D. @. Pure sui-
ture can also be obtained, either free
or at small cost, from the various ex-
pertinent stations.
Too much attention cannot be given
to the preparation Of the field for Iesu'
minous crops. In a well-prcpared seed
bod the young plants get the best start
and the necessary bacteria will thrive.
Sour soils hinder and often entirely
prevent the development Of the bene-
fetal soil organisms. 10 remedy this
condition an application Of lime Is nec-
cssary. Any kind Of lime may be used
to advantage, but usually finely ground
limestone is applied.
When a field is known to contain the
bacteria suitable for q certain lekume
