QUESTION:: What is the best way
to inoculate soils for legumes?
ANSWER: Soil may be inoculat-
ed with pure culture secured from
the local seed dealer or with 9th
er soils that are already inoculated
Where a field has already been in
oculated by growing some legume
this soil may be used with from 20
to so bushels broadcast or drilled
in on the acre. This soil should be
disked in Immediately. If pure cul-
ture is used, this should be prepared
as directed on the container and
the seed planted as soon as possible
after treating.

Farm Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: How much grain
should feed my dairy animals each
day?
ANSWER: This depends upon the
individual animal and the amount
of milk normally produced. For
Jersey cows the grain feed is about
x-tenths of pound for each pound
of milk above ten pounds. Guern-
says take about SIS of pound of
grain for each pound of milk above
IL, and Ayrshires and Holsteins
should receive about As of a pound
of grain for each pound of milk
above IA. If each cow, however, is
studied as an individual it is easy
to determine the exact amount Of
grain for most profitable production.

Heard And
Seen
In THE
Jeffersons !.

A lot of fish as well as big game
hunting stories are told around the
Jeffersons, but this week some one
presented us with clipping from
the Akron Beacon Journal, Of
Akron, Ohio, which, is evidently a
true fish story about w. F. Ham, a
former Ashe county citizen of the
Horse Creek section, and his recent
catch.
q A large picture OF MIR. Ham hold
ing the fish was further proof of its
validity. Ashe county folks are al
ways going forth into other sections
of the. country and making real rec
ords of one kind or another. Con-
gratulations to Mr.. Ham and here's
the Beacon story:
wv. F. Ham, 2O4 w. Thornton ST.,
is big mana very big man. He
had to be to carry his largemouth
black bass into the Beacon Journal
building and up three flights to the
editorial department yesterday.
For, if you please, Mr.. Hams
fish happened to be the largest bass
caught in Ohio waters this season
and possibly in recent years. There
were good % inches of him and he
weighed, wonder of wonders, an
even eight pounds.
''The Akron angler hooked his
mossback at Pine Lake in Mahoning
county while casting wooden plug
of his own manufacture. Ham es-
Inmates that the fight lasted Is min
utes, the bass making several rush
es but never breaking water.
In all, Ham caught five bass on his
plug which he calls the "Arbuckle, "
one of the fish weighing five pounds.
"Strangely enough, the big bass
is the third weighing over seven
pounds taken at Pine this season.
The others-seven pounds, four
ounces, and seven pounds, six ounc-
es-were caught earlier in the sea-
son. All three, Pine Lake officials
estimate, were in the original con-
signment of fish with which the lake
was stocked in 1910.
1.-THE previous record for the 1898
season was the six-pound, 14-ounce
largemouth which M. A. Matheny,
337 Grace court, brought to net in
the Cuyahoga river above the Kent
waterworks this spring"

 Awful Scene
 Tt was the awfullest thing ever saw None of them seemed to die right away but one by one they stopped screaming" said David Witter, g, riding on an oil tank near the locomotive
 Witter told Sheriff Young that a sleet storm reduced the visibility and delayed the schedule of the freight train.
 Warning Too Late
 Sheriff Young said Engineer Reahrmer told him he was on the right side of the engine cab and the bus was coming on the left side. Suddenly the fireman screamed for him to stop and the engineer im- mediately applied the emergency air brakes.
 Young said the freight was nor- mally going 60 miles an hour at the crossing.
 Sheriff Young said apparently the bus driver stopped at the cross ing and then started up again The engine hit the bus broadside, bend ing the big auto vehicle around the front of the locomotive.

AfgIluns Visit q. S.tOGet
 Training m C-Mdn Work
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. l. We should like to be able to tell G. Man Hoover and the University of Illinois that the seven Afghans brought here for scholarly purposes will show up in class on a cold Mon day morning dressed in a burnoose, sash and scimitar. But it isn't so.
 What is true is that of the seven natives of far off Afghanistan who have come to the United States, five wish to learn to teach. The other two, of all things, want to be G-men. And they dress like Americans, or shall we say that Americans dress like these Ar ghans.
 Afghanistan, which adjoins In- dia's widest northwest corner and extends northwestWard until it borders Russia, is represented in this country by the Turkish am- bassador. For that reason the styl- ish Turkish embassy here was not especially surprised one day when the seven natives. very dark in texture, but aryan nevertheless, showed up at the front door.
 They had quaint experience to relate. Albert w. Payne, an ad- venturous scholar from the Uni versity of Illinois, had gone to Af- ghanistan to teach in the Universi- ty at Kabul, the capital. These young men are the first fruit of his teaching. He evidently taught Eng fish and Illinois, because of the seven, all spoke English and five would hear of nothing else than that they should go at once to the University of Illinois to learn to be teachers like Mir Payne.

A DEFINITION BY F.D.R.


 At the same time the President himself has given the country his own definition of liberals and conservatives and announced his pat on the back for liberals of his stripe, in whatever party they might be found. Likewise, Repub- lican chieftains have stepped across party lines in the search for likely candidates, and valid votes.
 They have all conspired to make the public in general and Con- gressmen in particular choose be- tween one who stands by the Presi- dent, and one who stands against him. Some have resisted, how ever, until the elections were over Now they too must take stand, for in another two years the nation will vote for President again.
 The next question is: How can you tell in the home stretch which road the nation and it's Congress Ineu are LTdVelulg.
 No final, positive answer is pos sible. The time-honored way is to watch how man votes. On many issues coming before the 76th Con- gress, however. it is possible to dodge a stand for or against the President.
 On relief, for instance, Roose- welt supporter could explain a vote against the Roosevelt system by declaring relief on it's present scale wasteful, bankrupting process. On the other hand, a Congressional enemy of the President could SUD- port the Roosevelt system and claim human needs out-weighed mere money matters. The same political puzzle pattern applies to other big issues, like national defense, in-

INVESTIGATION STARTS

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Dec. L. The Air Safety Board today began an investigation into the loss of the transport plane with five of the seven occupants.
 Board members declared it was of an unusual significance because the pilot lived to tell his own story.
 Scientists previously advanced the theory that sun spot activity mixed up the radio signals and confused Pilot Stead when ''Joo perfect re- ception occurred.

Barrage of Sunspot Energy Also Added to Con-

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. l. Radio ghost waves" and a barrage of sunspot energy possibly played sinister parts, scientists state, in the loss of the airliner with five of it's seven occupants when the plane alighted on the Pacific waters off Point Reyes during early Tues day morning in the darkness and prevailing storm.
 This statement follows up the re- port of United Air Lines veteran pilot Charles Stead who said the raido reception was too good" caus- ing him to become confused over the strange multiplicity of signals, trying to ascertain position of a landing field.
 Radio engineers said there are plenty of technical considerations to support the unusual theory.
