Legumes Have High Need
for Application of Lime

Best returns are secured from lime,
by using 1t for legume crops such as
alfalfa or the clovers, says P. F.
SchOwengerdt, extension soils special
list of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture. This is true because the
legumes have a higher need for lime
than any other farm crops grown in
this section and because the nitrogen
fixing bacteria associated with these
crops require sweet soil in which to
do their work.
When lime Is applied and the
growth of these soil building crops
made more successful the succeeding
crop yields are also increased. II,
on the other hand, the lime were ap-
piled for grain crops alone the return
would he much smaller.
Wherever farmers apply lime on
wheat land in the next fall or winter
they should, by all means, sow clover
the next spring, for In doing so they
will take advantage Of their best
chance for profit from lining
Many experiments in Missouri show
that lime has increased the yield Of
clover hay enough to pay the cost Of
lining under present economic con-
ditions. The increased yields of corn,
oats and wheat following the clover
have constituted good net profit
above the expense of lining.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-Root

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies in
an interview of the subject. made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 30
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this paper.-Advertisemen

Inoculating Legumes Is
Not Difficult Process

To inoculate legumes procure the
dirt from the roots of legumes showing
abundant noduie development, taking
care that the rays of bright sun do
not strike 1t q quart for each bushel
of seed.
For soy beans get dirt from beans.
for alfalfa and sweet clover get dirt
either from alfalfa or from sweet
clover.
Allow the dirt to dry in sack or
covered box, work 1t from time to
time and finally pulverize it to n COM
plete dust.
Dissolve six ounces of carpenters
glue in one gallon of water.
Spread the seed on tight floor in n
room with the windows partly dark
ened. Sprinkle on the glue solution
until the seed is barely moist, stirring
thoroughly with a garden rake.
Then sprinkle on slowly the dirt
dust. stirring continually with the rake
until the glue solution has hardened.
This will leave every seed covered with
the dirt dust carrying the nitrogen
fixing bacteria.
The seed thus prepared may be seed
I'D ,t once or sacked and set aside FOR
week or more before seeding. Care
abouId he taken that the seed Is uni
f,rmlv covered as soon as possible fol-
lowing the seeding, as bright suniish'
would destroy the incubation.
The Dolores star., 1924-08-15
Soy Beans Prefer Heavy
Soil and Much Moisture

Soy beans prefer the heavier, dark
soils and will stand great deal OF
moisture. but If this soil remains wet
during the season 1t should be drained
The soy beans should be properly in
oculated, which is best done by mixing
three or four quarts of soil secured
from n well-inoculated field with each
bushel of the seed. Prepare the soil
as for corn and sow any time after
corn planting, using an early variety.
1t IS believed that the early paintings
do better however, and we would ad'
wise that this field be planted us soon
as the soil can be gotten ready. If the
soil is sour 1t should be lined and II II
has not been fertilized recently II
should receive about 100 pounds OF
acid phosphate per acre.

Study Been Made Of
Meadow Death Camas
1t Affects Sheep More Than
Any Other Animal.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture engaged
IN the study of plants poisonous to
ilve stock have recently completed a
study OF the meadow death camas.
known scientifically as Zygadenus
venenosus, which they say is one OF
Tour species most likely to be encoun-
tered by stockmen using the western
range. The other species are grassy
death camas, foothill death camas,
and mountain death camas. The spe-
cies known as meadow" is character
lstic Of the states bordering on the
faciic ocean. 1t affects sheen more
than any other class of animals, but
horses are poisoned by it and some
times killed. While 1t is poisonous
to cattle few are injured under range
conditions, and swine are probably
not harmed at all because they
promptly expel the plant by vomiting
If they do eat 1t.
Ihis species Of death camas has
about the same poisoning power as
the grassy death camas and these
two are three times as toxic as the
foothill variety and seven times as
toxic as the mountain death camas.
Although 1t takes about the same
quantity of meadow camas as grassy
camas to produce symptoms of poison
Ing 1t takes much more of 1t to pro-
duce death. Grassy death camas Is
the most dangerous. followed by
meadow death camas and foothill
death camas which are about equally
potent in producing death.
The results Of this investigation,
which was carried on by G. ID. Marsh
and A. B. Clawson of the burenu of
animal industry, have been published
in Department Bulletin No 1910 which
may be had upon request by those in
terested in the details of the investiga.

Form Dense SDanps

A mangrove swamp is formation
common on seacoasts and tidal river
shores in tropical and sub-tropical
climates. The dominant vegetation
consists of mangrove trees inter
spersed with plants of similar habit
The accumulation of debris and mud
up the land so that bays are filled
and river banks extended until the
streams are restricted to narrow
channels between dense walls of trees
which completely conceal the shores.
Many such swamps are found on the
coast of Florida
