Seed of those legumes which have
not been regularly grown on farm,
such as alfalfa, witch, soy beans, and
COW peas should always be inoculated

In some cases it will be advisable to
inoculate such legumes as red man.

field peas.
Because of a large number Of calls
of these cultures, the Farm Bureau
Office will endeavor to keep on hand

gumes most commonly sowed These
cultures will be put out at the exact
cost of production, which is % cents

enough bacteria to inoculate 60
pounds of seed. When ordering these
cultures remit with order, as, because
of no margin, the transaction has to
be strictly cash.

NEW GOVERNMENT is
SCHEIDEMANN HINT
Peace Terms, He Says, Could
Not Be Carried Out.

LONDON, May 19.-The possibility of a
change In the Government OF Germany
as a result of the presentation Of the
allied peace terms was discussed by
Philip Scheidemann, German Chancel-
Tor, at Berlin yesterday. according 10 a
despatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company from that city. The statement
was made TO foreign journalists in the
former Chancellors palace, and In part
follows:
I'VE thought that we Social Demo-
Gratis were strong enough to prevent 4
peace by violence, but doubted whether
the masses In enemy countries could
support us because they are less strongly
organized than we. Certain circles In
England and France are beginning 10
advise the necessity OF common sense. Il
Is too comic when President Wilson's
fourteen points are contrasted with the
peace terms. They do not mention Mr..
Wilson's terms, but are just a brutal,
dictated peace.
1T Is possible a government might
be formed which would sign the peace
terms, but It Is doubtful whether the
Allies would be satisfied with such "A
government. A reactionary government
is out of all question and communist
and Independent government would be
acting for the people of whom they
would represent only T small minority
Even II such a government did sign the
treaty II would be just as impossible
for them to fulfll the conditions as il
would be for us"

PARIS, May 13-The first German
comments on the peace treaty have fol-
lowed the usual German tactical
methods, which consist in testing the
strength OF the adversary's resolve by
attacking the principles on which he
takes n stand. If the adversary can be
induced to argue about his principles
they have gained a point
NJ Clemenceau's reply made It clear
that the Allies have not the time OF the
intention to discuss the principles which
already have been tested by four months

The frmness of the Premier's words
have caused general satisfaction.
Count Won Brockdorfr- Rantzau, the

of the proposals which the Germans are

OF the diligence and industry with
which the Germans have settled down

doubt. Secretaries and shorthand writ
ers are organized In two relays, who

These signs Of hard work done would
alone be sufficient to give the lie to

Notwithstanding statements by
