Tests Show Best Means
of Inoculating Legumes

Pure cultures of legume bacteria
grown on artificial or laboratory media
have been found superior to soil for
inoculating legumes, when judged by
the number of nodules obtained per
plant, according to results of expert
ments made by Investigators at the
college Of agriculture, University of
Illinois. When the same legume is
grown a second time in the same field,
good nodule development is secured
both from pure cultures and from soil.
These findings have been made in
studies Of the factors influencing the
incubation of soy beans. The effec-
tiveness of either method of inocula-
tion is decreased by failure to sow the
seed soon after incubation. To give
the best results, bacteria should be
applied to the seed within twenty-four
hours of the time at which the sowing
is done.

Certain Magic Found
in Ownership of Home

There is a magic in the ownership
Of property, especially when that prop
erty consists of home. A man will
lay down his life without question or
thought when the integrity Of his
home Is at stake. On the other hand,
If the same amount Of money were
placed in stocks or bonds, or even a
factory, 1t is extremely problematlcal
whether he would even risk his life
If they were threatened with destruc-
ton. The magic lies in the fact that
home stands for more than mere in
trinsic value; it represents more than
mere dollars.
1t carries around 1t all the back
ground Of the family life and the
search Of that family for better living
1t may have the scars of the struggle
written all over its walls, but it Is
near and dear in spite Of it. Little do
we dream the real magic we are con-
juring up for those dependent upon
us when we grid up our belts, reach
for the pen and ink and sign the
pledge on the contract that commits
us and our savings to a program of
home-ownership. 1t is the most Inn
portant thing man and woman can
do, because no one has yet been able
to think Of single thing that will
take its place.

Better-Sires Campaign
Is on in North Carolina

A better-sires contest among coun-
ties in North Carolina is responsible
for a large current increase in the
number Of pure-bred bulls, according
to reports received by the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
from J. A. Arey, specialist, and from
extension workers of the state. The
three county agents placing the larg,
est number of pure-bred dairy bulls
in their respective counties during the
period January to September 1, 1926,
are to receive as prizes full transpor-
tation or part transportation to the
national dairy show to be held in De-
troit, Mich, October 6 to ID.
With most of the counties partici-
pating, the outlook is favorable for
the replacement Of nearly 100 scrub
or grade bulls with pure breds of high
quality. One county already had in
troduced 10 pure-bred bulls since the
first Of the year.
The contest among county agents is
being conducted in accordance with a
plan developed by state dairy special
lists in cooperation with the United
States bureau Of dairy industry. A
grade or scrub bull is considered re
placed" when either castrated or
slaughtered and when an interest in
a pure-bred sire is purchased. The
prize money is being contributed "
craomarias and other business organ
izations of the state.

Use of Winter Months

Very often some civic body or other
organization, with great deal of COM
munity spirit, will be the start Of a
home beautiful campaign, or COM
mittee of individuals from given
street or section will start the ball
rolling.
In beginning such a campaign, it is
a wise plan to start the work during
the winter, that people might have a
chance to think and talk over the
plans Of the coming campaign, and
the committee has plenty of time to
get their well-arranged plans in prop
er shape. The plan will then have
time to reap the benefits Of the news
feature Of the local papers, and by
word-of-mouth advertising.

It Is Possible to Grow
Enough Corn for Silage

It almost always is possible to grow
enough corn for silage, and this Is i'm
portant in days of hay failure.
A number of agricultural! colleges
have carried out tests to find out the
ACCESSIBILITY of substituting silage for
hay and the results have been salts
factory. Silage not only is an excel
lent substitute for hay, but it is more
economical to feed it. and there is an
increase in the production. 1t is not
possible to tell exactly the amount
saved by feeding silage, but it is
around % per cent on the feed bill.
Silage also could be substituted for
pasture. and it is profitable to feed 1t
in summer. Where land is high priced,
farmers are feeding silage instead Of
keeping the cows on pasture.

Irrigation Useful
for Apple Disease
Picking Fruit at Right Tim
Also Is Big Help.

Water core, serious disease Of ap-
pies occurring in practically every inn
portant apple-growing section of the
world, may be reduced considerably
by liberal irrigation and by picking
the fruit at the proper maturity, ac-
cording to DR.. Charles Brooks, pathol-
ogist of the United States Department.
of Agriculture. Six years of investiga-
ton have served to show that, con.
trary to the prevailing opinion, the
disease occurs when the supply of
water in the soil is inadequate rather
than when it is excessive. The real
cause of the trouble, however, is In
connection with high temperatures, in
tense sunlight, and the accompanying
high sap concentration in the fruit
The watery or CLASSY appearance of
the flesh of the apple, characteristic
distinguishing water core from all
other apple diseases, Is due to the
filling of the intercellular spaces with
cell sap instead of air. When water
is not available in sufficient quantity
high temperatures and intense sun
light cause the sap in the fruit to con-
centrate and exert enormous pressure
on the cell tissues to q point where
they break down. In irrigated regions
experiments showed that apples from
heavily irrigated trees developed less
water core than those from lightly ir
rigated trees. Also less water core
developed when light irrigation was
followed by heavy irrigation than
when the practice was reversed.
Picking at the proper stage of ma.
turity is the most practicable proven
tive now known for the trouble, espe-
cially in the nonirrigated regions. The
study showed that water core might
increase as much as 80 per cent in 10
days after the proper time for pick
ing.

Keep Tree Wounds Clean

When filling a tree wound with ce-
ment, take care not to pour over de-
caying wood.
Clean out all signs of rotting. In
sects in various stages spend their
winters in the spongy section. Scrape

called the cambium.
Paint it with shellac. and then with
q coat of one-third cresote and two
thirds coal tar. Recoat it with tar if
the first one cracks. Pure white lead
or linseed oil also will serve.
Then fill the cavity with cement.
The incest care should be exercised
in cleaning the wound. Use sharp
tools.

Salt Needed by Cows

It is true that under modern condi-
tons of keeping dairy cows In stan
chions large part of the time, some
of the cows fail to get enough salt
for their needs, or at least for best
results. DR.. Babcock, at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, conducted an ex-
pertinent years ago which convinced
him that COW should have three
fourths of an ounce Of salt daily for
each 1000 pounds live weight, and in
addition, six-tenths of an ounce for
each 20 pounds of milk produced.

year than during any previous year.
Last year the consumption of ice
cream increased 10 per cent, butter
IA per cent and milk 10 per cent.
Four years ago the per capita con-

years ago 1t rocketed to 40 gallons

to 81 gallons.

ENE TUNNEY, ex-marine. is the
VI new heavyweight champion of
the world, having taken away Jack
Dempsey's crown in ten rounds of
rather mild fighting in the stadium at
Philadelphia. The spectators num-
bered 10000, and the gate receipts
were about $2,000000. Dempsey's
power and judgment of distance were
gone, and Tunney won easily on
points. The victory was popular with
all except those who had bet on
Dempsey.

first fruits of the negotiations were
the departure of detachments Of
French troops from the occupied area,
with the prospect that by the end Of
September about 5000 Of them would
