OF his milk, he cannot obtain the
stamp Of approval Of the local health
department as q possible vendor OF
milk In the District. The barns must
have certain amount OF light ana
each cow Is allotted q certain amount
of space. he said. The barns are sub
ject to inspection at any time.

He went into world wide conditions
concerning milk and cited the fact
that this lacteal product is the uni

unit, than any other rotation. They
could not account for this, but never
theless. lupines were used as a ferti
lizer by alternating the cereal crops
with a seeding of lupines
Farmers of today can grow a score
of crops which fill his needs as a
crop for fixing nitrogen in the soil
Alfalfa, sweet clover, vetches, peas,
beans and the true cloversy are the
modern lupines.
Nitrogen Is Vital.
Nitrogen is the plant food element
very necessary to luxur.ant, thrifty,
plant growth. 1t is the element of
which our soils have only limited
supply. There is lots of nitrogen in
the air but not in the 5oil, available
for plants. 1t is the element that the
lupines supplied in form ava liable
for plant food. Nitrogen is made also
from decaying organic material such
as barnyard manure. In most in
stances it is added to the soil by in
Producing commercial fertilizers.
In soils where nitrogen fixing |
bacteria are not present bacteria must |
be introduced into the soil before the |
legume planted will grow successfully. |
The fact that alfalfa, medium red |
clover, sweet clover, and other legumes
will grow on the soils we have In
this locality has been demonstrated
many times. Even with the defici-
ency in moisture we have had TO-.
some seasons past alfalfa and clover
have made good growth
Dryness Retards Bacteria.
The extreme dryness, however, does
retard the growth of nitrogen fixing
bacteria, in fact in several fields no
bacterial growth whatever was noted |
Even though a perfect stand may be
secured, lack of nitrogen fixing bac-
terra would cause anyone to declare
that the crop, not innoculated, was of
absolutely no value

EXPLAINS STOCK DEAL
INVOLVING 100000
BY the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, February I'll
Jackson E. Reynolds, head of the syn
dictate that purchased the stock of
the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal
Company from the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, today gave four mo-
tives that were in his mind when he
formed the syndicate to make the
purchase. He testified in federal
court in the proceedings on the OBJ
jections raised by certain stockhold-
ers of the Jersey Central to the syn
dicate sale.
Mr.. Reynolds said his first motive
was to get every one connected with
the coal company to become members
of the syndicate. The second motive,
he said. was dream that did not ma
terialize. He thought he could get
middlemen and coal jobbers into the
syndicate, so that the tonnage could
be increased and distributed over a
wider area at a reduced unit Of cost.
OF the large number he invited :nto
the syndicate, he testified, only Burns
Brothers of New York joined. The
others refused principally because
they did not want to be connected
with only one producer.
The third idea, MIR. Reynolds tes-
tilted. was to remove the curse of
absentee landlordism and have
Wilkesbarre people and employees in
the syndicate. The fourth was to
invite personal friends who knew
him well enough to trust him with
their money.
