of temper, "after all these years to

"He has tie manners of a gentle

be crushing.
"And the morals of a coyote" Dave
returned holly.
"O-o-o-h!" said Mrs. Hardy, in low.
shocked cry. That Eden should speak
of Coward with such disdain seemed
to her little less than sacrilege. Then,

made no effort to conceal it.

confuse and to lure. But l have an
abiding faith that the pitfalls will be
avoided and the right road chosen.

INNOCULATE
State College to Furnish Bacteria for
InnoculatiOn Of Legume Crops

The Agronomy Department of the
South Dakota Experiment Station is
completing arrangements to furnish
innoculating bacteria for legumes, to
the farmers of South Dakota. This
service is in response to numerous in
quiries received by the Agronomy De-
partment for innoculating material
during the past years.
An abundant supply of material will
be ready Cor distribution for the
Spring seeding of 1921. A sufficient
amount of innoculating material to
treat one bushel Of seed will be sent
out at actual cost, probably about fifty
cents.
The work will be carried on in con-
nection with the soil and crop survey
of South Dakota. A sample of the
soil to be treated should be sem to the
soil survey laboratory for examination
before being seeded to alfalfa. Many
South Dakota soils are deficient in
limestone and because of this fact,
give an acid reaction. The growth of
alfalfa, clover and red clover is inter-
ferred with if the SOIL has an acid re-
action.
Upon receipt OF a request for inno-
Culating material, directions will be
sent for sampling the soil. Farmers
expecting to avail themselves of this
opportunity will do well to file their
requests carly in order that the land
samples may be taken as early as pos
sible and material may be ready for
use at seeding time in the spring.

of the Experiment Station is authority
