Sd VARIETIES
OF LEGUME:S
GROW IN State
University College of.
Agriculture Will
Identify Plants free
(By United Press)

Madison, Wis.-Not all common
legumes are cultivated crops, &C
cording to a booklet recently issu-
ed by the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture In Wisconsin there
are more thanSO varieties of leg
umes growing wild and often UNI
recognized as belonging to that
branch of the plant family that
adds nitrogen to the plant family
that adds nitrogen to the soil in,
stead of taking it away.
The Wisconsin College of Agri-
culture offers to identify free of
charge any unknown plant sent in
to the college. The college plans
to do this hoping to help the farmer
realize a profit from the erstwhile
weeks that sometimes are soil en-
riching legumes.
Up to date, several thousand spe-
cies of legumes have been identi-
fed, ranging from the tiniest Of
plants to the largest of trees. While
many of these legumes have little
or no market, all are valuable in
that they foster bacteria in their
bnodules. These nodules are left
in the soil which helps to make a
good seed bed for the cultivated
legumes which are related to the
wild.
The nodules found only on the
roots of legumes are filled with
bacteria that take atmospheric nj
trogen and convert it to a form the
plant can use as a food.
In some soils, legumes will not
produce nodules and in that case
their value is less than nothing.
However, they will produce nodules
if inoculated with the type of bac-
terra used by that particular spec
lie Of legume. . Cultures of bacteria
can be secured from the college
of agriculture and when used, a
healthy crop is practically assured.
The college of agriculture rec
ommends more growing of inoculat-
ed legumes and less purchasing of
commercitl nitrate fertilizers in
the future. The result is the
same, and the money saved can be
used in buying lime, phosphates
and other cheaper fertilizers.

New Glarus-High tribute was
paid to the Swiss settlers who
have made Green county one OF
the most prosperous in Wisconsin
by Solomon Levitan, state treasur
er, in an address at the Eightieth
Anniversary of the founding of
New Glarus.
Levitan, who himself came to
New Glarus more than forty years
ago, recalled the days when he
first came to Green county as an
immigrant boy and trudged the
roads from farm to farm with a
peddler's pack on his back.

WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from pass 1,


During the last week members
of the Senate and House have
been as docile as a school boy. In
asmuch as votes are very impor-
tant, party leaders have endeav-
ored to keep down the number
|of absentees and have even
forced night sessions to make up
for time lost during the early
part of Congress. When it is
whispered that a whip order is
out" legislators who are inclined
to be tardy or skip a session find
themselves forced to participate
in the elaboration. Under stress
of party responsibility they lose
their individuality and become
just a vote. The Individual SEN
ator or congressman honored by
their respective parties as whip"
has difficult task, for in reality
he is nothing more than a truant
officer to a lot of unruly men.
He has a list of addresses and
private telephone numbers at his
disposal. Several important So
cial functions have been broken
up this week and many society
matrons have found themselves
without an escort when orders
are delivered from Capitol hill.
Though several attempts were
made, few major bills relating to
agriculture were passed at this
session. 1t is said that several
self-styled spokesman for the
farmers attempted to becloud
important issues by using the old
cry of relief for the down-trod-
den gricultural class. Senator
Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, and
former Secretary of the Treasury,
recently took Senators Hiram
Johnson and Tom Heflin to task
for their attitude. Very tersely,
Senator Glass described the sit
uation in Congress as follows:
The sooner we quit going
through the wretched pantomine
of legislating the farmer into
prosperity the sooner the farmer
will prosper. The sooner the
farmer realizes that it cannot be
done, the sooner he will set in
motion those activities which will
enable him through and in him.

swan song said that he was re

stituents." In parting he offered

if accepted, would be a great
boon to the taxpayers. Mr.. Stem
gle declared that Congress must
