INooULATE ALFALFA.


 If alfalfa is to be seeded on a field that has not recently grown the crop it will be necessary to inoculate the soil, according to Henry Dorsey of the Agro- nomy Department at Connecticut Agri- culturs< college. Storrs Otherwise. says Mr. Dorsey, if the alfalfa grows at all it will he harder on the land than timothy. Three methods of inoculation are prac- ticed in Connecticut Mir Dorsey explains these as follows:
 T. A pound per acre of alfalfa seed may be added to the grass mixture when seeding down land that may in the future be used for alfalfa Some bacteria adhere to the seeds and suffi- cient plants with nodules are produced to inOculate eventually all the soil of the field. This method requires plan- hing several years ahead for alfalfa.
 q Soil fro an inoculated alfalfa field may be secured on a cloudy day, sDnead on the field and narrowed in Thts requires 300 to 400 pounds of soii The application should be made shortly before seeding. A small amount of soil may be spread on alfalfa seed that previously has been rnoistened. The mass after being stirred Thoroughly until soi particles adhere to each seed should be dried in the shade The latter method saves rnuch labor in handling a large mass of soil and is effective providing the sol Is fun of bacteria
 1 Pure cultures are prepared by tnany firms. Also. many seedsmen sup. ply cultures to their regular trade. Di rections that accompany the culture mus f~ followed to insure success.
 Whatever method of inoculation i' used it must be remembered that th' bacteria that are effective on alfalfa dc not grow on the common clovers. The or Eanism is apparently absent from Con necticut soils except where alfalfa o gNEet clover has been grown.

FEWRR FOREST FIRES.

From the office of the state forest fire warden at New Haven comes the cheer ina news that .he first five months of 1920 have brought fewer forest fires than any similar period since 1910 Up to June there had been only 256 fires re- ported in Connecticut Although this number seems ampyl large it is only a starter compared to 1916 when 1.326 fires occurred during the same period.
 A late winter and a wet spring are crSiited with the decrease := the num- Der of fires this year. Additional care 0n-the part of the public has not yet fig ured extensively in reducing fire damage although the seate forestry authorities are conducting an educational campaign Co -enlist public sentiment. Thirty per cc@s- of all forest fires, it is claimed, are due to railroads. The other seventy per cent. may be attributed to individua rarelessness

n you are going to get a new canner tnia year-and one certainly simplifies the work-the time to get it is now. If a lard can or awash boiler is to be used Tor processing the cans. see that the false bottom used last year Is in perfect con- dftion or make a new one.
 All cans and their tops should be wash ed carefully as they are emptied and before they are stored. If they were not, how is the time to put them into immac- ulate condition Every particle of for eiEn matter inside or outside should be removed and the nanges around the top scrubbed with brush. Then the whole can and it's top should be boiled in soda water. If pickles have been in the jar extra care must be taken. After boiling the open Jar should be placed in the sun shine out of doors for several days. A large part of the losses in canning is caused by the jars and tops not being absolutely clean.

Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-02-24
BY H. P. BURTON
N. f. A. Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Feb 23-The follow
ing principles for which Herbert
Hoover stands have all been enumer-
ated by himself exactly as they are
given here. These are his own
words and have been culled from
several signed articles he has recent
ly contributed to American publish
ers and from one or two public state
ments he has given to the press in
general.
This is the first time that all of
these principles have been selected
and composed, so showing exactly
what the political platform of Her
bert Hoover is.
We quote first from his writings,
copyrighted by the Curtis Publishing
Co., in the Saturday Evening Post:
"That some readjustment of our
industrial and economical relations is
necessary needs no argument, for
the world is seething with the prob
lens involved in the matter They
cannot be approached in the single
aspect of the relations of the work
err to the employer, for they involve
intricate problems of social econom-
les in the stimulation of effort and
intelligence, the elimination of waste
the better distribution of wealth, the
control of speculation, extravaganza,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-02-24

checks to domination of groups, and
the progressive development of gov
eminent to keep pace with the
economic ingenuity of our citizens
1T is the essence of democracy that
progress Of the mass must rise from
progress of the individual 1t is the
only road to a higher civilization. It's
conception of the state is one that,
representative of all the citizens, will
in the region of economic activities
limit itself in the main to the preven-
ton of economic domination of the
few over the many. We have no
frozen class distinctions. We have
developed a far better distribution of
necessity of comforts and wealth than
any other place in the world. We
have a willingness to abide by the
wiz Of the majority, a sense of neigh
borly obligation and a higher sense
of justice, of self-sacrifice and of
public conscience, and out of these we
have certainty of ultimate solutions.
"The assumption of class distinc-
tons between labor, capital and the
public is a foolish creation of false
class consciousness and is building for
US the very same kind of foundations
upon which Europe rocks today.
When all is said and done, labor,
whether with hand or mind, is the
only excuse for membership in the
community. Capital is nothing but
the savings of the nation, represent
ed by tools of production and service,
whether it be land, factories, homes,
railways, or schools; its managers are
laborers themselves and must be
sifted out by competition in accord
with their intelligence, skill and char
acter. Capital is not money, for
money is nothing but the token by
which we barter goods and services.
There is no quarrel with capital itself
the quarrel is over the distribution of
its ownership and the profits that
arise from it.
'"There are a few propositions Of
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-02-24

mixed social and economic character
bearing upon present problems that
are pertinent to these times and use
full to reiterate when the attraction of
economic novelties tends to divert US
from the foundations of experience.
| believe these propositions may be
summarized as follows:
"That the object of all national
economic policy must be to maintain
and improve the standard of living of
the whole population.
THAT the standard of living is the
direct quotient of the amount of COM
modities and services that are avail
able among the total population.
Therefore the standard cannot be
maintained or improved unless there
Is maintenance and increase in the
production of commodities and SER
vices up to the maximum need of the
entire number.
That the human animal labors I'M
der the major impulse of securing for
himself a direct share in consump-
ton of commodities and services,
either today or in savings for his old
age and protection of his dependents
after death. His minor impulse is
the joy of craftsmanship and a spirit
of service to the community. Social
ism will be possible when in the dim
future the latter becomes the domi-
nant impulse-and then it won't be
necessary.
That the development and selec-
ton of abilities and character for
leadership, direction and invention in
industry cannot be obtained by the
benevolent state-or the politician.
The infinite variety of hand and brain
can find its maximum development,
equality of opportunity and position
only through the fire of competition.
That capital is constituted solely
of the savings of the community, dead
or alive, above it's daily consumption,
the main by the tools for production
and service, together with the stock
of consumable goods on hand. Pro-
duction cannot be increased without
an increase in capital, and increase in
capital depends upon our rate of saw
ings. The major impulse to savings is
their future earnings power-their
yield of interest Without this slim
illus of tools, the production and ser
vice will not be maintained or in
creased.
"The organization of workers to
better the condition or labor is I'M
doubtedly a safeguard of equality of
opportunity and in accord with basic
principles. The essence of combina-
ton Of workers is collective bargain

'front.' US, and will select men whose
character and association will guar
antee their pledges"
Misery Is Cause
of Revolutionism
The following is from the Forum
magazine:
mo contemporary can properly
judge or balance the relative evidence
and these savings are represented in
of great currents of social agitation.
Yet practical craftsmanship requires
that within our abilities a constant
accounting should be taken of the
tangible results of the forces abroad,
if the development of our liberal in
stltutions and progress of orderly
government is to be maintained and
revolution avoided. We shall never
remedy justifiable discomfort until we
eradicate the misery which the ruth
Iessness of individualism has impos-
ed upon minority. Our soil is not
so fertile as that of Europe to MANY
of these growths, because we have
a larger social conscience. We have
not the vivid class and economic dis
tlnctlon of Europe nor have we the
depth of misery out of which these
matters can crystalize. Nevertheless,
IN these days of intimate communica-
ton, social forces are rapid in their
penetration, and social diseases are
quick in universal infection.
We see that the outstanding eco
nomlc phenomenon of Europe today
IS Its demoralized industrial produc-
ton. Of the $50 million people in
Europe, a rough estimate would in
dlcate that they are at least one hun
dred million greater than could be
supported on the basis of production,
which has never before reached so
low an ebb. Some of this diminu-
ton IN production has been contrib
uted to other factors, but in large de-
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-02-24

gree the cause of this steady decrease
of productivity with its shortage of
necessary supplies and its rising cost
of living must be sought in the social
ferment, with its continuous imposi-
ton of socialist ideas.
Altruism No Base
For Real Effort
This socialism is based on one con-
cceptlon, that the productivity of the
human being can be maintained I'M
der the impulse of altruism and that
the selection of the particular human
for his most productive performance
can be made by some super-imposed
bureaucracy. Their weakness is the
disregard of the normal day-to-day
primary impulse of the human animal,
that IS, self-interest for himself or
for his family or home, with a GER
tain addition of altruism varying
with his racial instinct and his de-
gree of intelligence. They fail to
take into account, also, that there is
but one sufficiently selective agent
for human abilities in that infinite
specialization of mind and body nee
essary, to maintain the output of the
intricate machinery of production,
and that is the primary school of com
petition.
MY emphatic conclusion, there
Tore, is that socialism as a philosophy
OF possible human application is
bankrupted. Nevertheless, the para
mount business of every American
is this business of finding solution
to these issues, but this solution must
be found by American in a
practical American way, based
upon American ideas, on Amer
lean philosophy of life. A def
mite American substitute is needed
for these Designating theories of Eu-
rope. 1t must be founded, too, upon
the fundamental facts that every sec
