ALFALFA INNOCULATION
Makes Plants Larger and Yields
Heavier

Alfalfa plants get larger and grow
better if they are innoculated.
The scores of small knots which
the innoculation causes to grow on
the roots of the Alfalfa are filled with
nitrogen which has been taken from
the air and adds a large amount of
fertility to an Alfalfa field.
Full advantage should always be
taken of the fact that Alfalfa is a
legume.
What Is a Legume?
We often hear farmers and
agricultural speakers and experts,
speaking about the importance of
legumes. They say farmers should
grow more legumes and not so much
timothy and prairie hay. Just what
is legume?
A legume is any plant that will
grow nitrogen forming bacteria on its
roots.
Different legumes require different
bacteria for growing nitrogen knots.
Some require the same, such as Al
falfa and sweet clover. The soy
bean requires a different bacteria,
and so do the clovers and all other
legumes.
Timothy will not support any nitro
gen forming bacteria on its roots,

FAvORS HIGHWAY POLICING

The more we think of the system
of state police, the more thoroughly
we are convinced it is the proper sys-
tenn to stem the tide of lawlessness
and bootlegging now going on. If it
did nothing else, it would decrease a
large percentage of drunken drivers
Of automobiles on the public high
ways, which would decrease the caus-
alties reported every month. 1t

that are now necessary, and we would
have more efficient system to run
the rum runners to earth, as well as
the numerous highwaymen now at
large. Wherever one goes, he will
hear the praises of the Northwest
Mounted of Canada, and if it is good
for Canada, it surely would be good
for Minnesota or any other state for
that matter. The Northwest Mounted
Police generally get their man.

may be more easily seen. The
knots are seldom found on the plants
before they have made from four to

more abundant during the summer

the years rolled around there came to

Angelina did her utmost to help her
husband and her children. She suf-

were good boys and they grew up and
became very rich and the richer they
grew the more they gave their mother.
They fairly lavished wealth upon her

an expression of appreciation for the

Angelina is dead. To her funeral
the greatest and largest Italian
funeral ever held in New York--there
came 10000 people who wept and
prayed for the soul OF good and kind
woman. For Angelic used the wealth
bestowed upon her By, her good sons not
for herself but for the poor of her peo-

cause of her genorsity in the community
she was called The Angel of Broome

she was mother in every sense of the
word, not only to her own sons, but to
her countless adopted sons and daugh-

Advice To,Those
Who Want To
Write
By SOPHIE IRENE LoEB.

Some time ago a young woman COM
mitted suicide because she could not
gain recognition in the literary field.
Others had done the same thing before.
While our hearts 20 out to such
discouraged humaan soul who has got
ten SO far down in the depths of des-
pair that life is not worth living, yet
such cases might well serve as les
SONS to Others who have. hopes of be-
coming figures in the ornaments of
fame.
Many, many letters come to ME from
young people who think they can write
or have aspirations to become literary
lights. To all of them, fear, my an
swers are most discouraging, because
when you look at the statistics and facts
the chances are so few.
When you think Of the millions Of
people there are in the world and the
few who really write worth while things
and reach any prominence, then the odds
speak for themselves.
The writer who eventually will find
fame does net commit suicide because
deep within him is the strength of
purpose that cannot be killed. Many
Of these have suffered and lived on
crusts of bread in attics.
Not only in the literary line, but in
other fields Of art this has been the case
There is something about the truly
great writer or great artist that will
not be discouraged or downed to the
point of disillusioH. They will be down,
down, down, down, many times, but
never out .as ser
IL they have, something worth while
to give they will go through many hard
ships, but eventually talent will get
its opportunity.
My one advice to all would-be art
lists, especially writer's, is to try every
other fieldaof endeavor and if they find
that they are most miserable except
in this one thing, then stick to it.
The hill lis hard to climb. Writing
is indeed not a case OF inspiration
but Precipitation. 1t is the constant and
everlasting effort and willingness tt
destroy and try all over again--to sacri
flee pleasures and even creature com
fOrts-that wins. And. the genuine
worker, no matter how obscure, will
eventually succeed. .r.sr
If you have talent7-real talent--it
can never be lost, because you will give
it play and cultivate it at any cost
If you are always easily disheartened
it is sure sign that you do not have the
divine spark, for, ais Socrates said
with every despair new hope
| is born 1f
And this is most true of any one
who has real genius within him. So
il you feel$that you have something to
give to the world that it wants, you
cannot fail, because, something within
you will carry you to your goal.
