MA V START IVA H ON PRICK ON 11 SI:I;I? (iF.ltMN lt is possible thal Clemson college] ? may put in a plain for making a He rum for Inoculating vetch. Ii is ?il most essential t<> iii?' success ol vetch plant iiiK to have bacteria to muk*' lli?? [ ( seed germinate successfully Mut the complaint Unit .''..jiisoti n. *o make, is that th? manufacturera ut commer cial fertilizers who put thi-' bacteria on tlx' markot are charging about i wire xv ha I it ls worth. It requires ut the present time $2 per acre to inoculate the soil, where tli?- bacteria could he sold for $1 per ton ami even then a good profit mude. The manufacturer*1 have rcfus .d tu cut Hie prie*, so wo are informed and Mr. Long, tile government's rep resentative at Cb instill, says that he VIII try to get the college to slart a j1 plant for the manufacture of (his sub Ilance for the farmers, and to sell it I' at cost. If lhere are 'lO.QOfl aeren inj1 this stale inoculated, as there are Um saving to the farmers would In $1 per nero, or f:l().000. bul. the prin-jj elpin thin? is the fact tlint by reducing the price' Un' commodity could he put on the tm-.rkel in such a way as to stimulate the udvuncement of grain sowing. The demonstration agents in th? state report now that twice us much small grain ls harvested as there was u few years ago. and Hie fermera should be encouraged yet more to en gage In the product ?un of grain. The present war scare is proof of the need for more grain to he plant ed, and the approach of the boll wei vii ls another, lt ls not expedient to neglect the planting of cotton, hut the need of food is stronger than th? demand for clothing, ami the object of the government is to lunch every farmer to produce ut least enough food stuns for mau and beast and per *ups enough to sell a little. The old way of inoculating the soil for planting leguminous crops j, wu? to send away to get the soil ami L to spread this over the area lo be planted. The new way ls to apply f the bacteria to tho Heed und the bac- i torin come up in the form of a gela- t tine and at first the farmers looked upon it with suspicion. A traveling salesman told the writer an amusing Incident in a Pee Dee county. Thio progressive farmor ordered some of the Inoculation for the seed and when he henrd that lt had como up he drove over to the station with a four horse team to get lt. There was nothing for him at the freight depot. Finally he went by the poBtoftlce on his way home to get the mall and there he was handed a package which j ho found to be his inoculation. It was merely a phial - that contained something that looked like gelatine. "Well, bgosh, I'm slung again," was tho farmer's comment, "19 for that | j du med thing." But he took it on home with him ?nd followed directions, inoculating the seed by using the gelatine In a solution as he was advised to do. Then to see whether or not he had been faked, he planted some seed on tho same kind of soil without using he found that the inoculated seed had done about 5 to 1 as much. good \ [as the other. t Tho bacteria for vetch must be us- t ?ed for vetch alone, and the bacteria for clover for clover alone, lt will t do no good to put vatch bacteria on t alfalfa. The bacteria take up tho a nitrogen which the. niants get from 1 the air and deposit the nitrogen In nodules Just as ants deposit food for I winter In cells*ln the ground. Theil nodules decay when the plant is cut ()owu and in decaying release the ni trogen. The nitrogen stays in thu ? ground as a fertilizer for the next r year's crop and lt is better far the .t farmer to follow a leguminous crop, s such as cowpous or vetch, with cot- * ion or oats, or some crop which needs j' the nitrogen that hus been stored Ju c the ground. , Many farmers In South Carolina i '.re learning scientific ways of farm- J lng and are rotating their .crops so as to use one of the soil one year r that which has been put there artlll- j dally the year before. Farming hail I become a profession and .a high grade J science. It Is' not merely a mailer ol' . plowing and Bowing and cultivating and harvesting, but it ls the science pf. i applying knowledge to the soil to get n tho best results the re from. All hall j to the g regressive farmer and may. ( he ever be liberal enough to help his v poorer noighbors. ? t PURGE THK HULLS Our attention has been called to the fact that there wero some errors lu < the tabulated statement of tho total number of names enrolled in Ander son county primary.
