To the Editor of The People
In a discuaiion with Dr. Long, State
demonstrator, the question of inocula
tion for cow pess for this section came
I p, and being interested in this matter,
aving tried this inoculation on cow
peas, and finding no value thereform,
finding Dr. Long’* experience to coin-
dde with my own, am inclosing you n
letter received from Dr. Long with
some experiences from other experi
ment stations along this Hne. While it
is not my purpose to engage in any
controversy in this matter, it is' of so
much importance to farmers that I
believe the farmers should be in pos
session of all the information upon this
subject possible. A large amount of'
money has been paid out by farmers
for material for inoculation for cow
peas, and as the question is a live one
with farmers, the purpose of this com
munication is in the interest of the
fafmers.

“Dear Mr. Prothro:
“I have your letter of July 10th re
garding your position in the matter
of inoculation for cow peu. You were
correct in quoting me u not consider
ing cow pea inoculation necessary in
South Carolina.
“Upon receipt of your letter I have
had all the literature on the subject
investigated, but in order to make as
surance doubly sure and in order to
settle this question and to get the
basis for an opinion that may be
token u authoritative, I telegraphed
some of the leading authorities in the
Southern States asking for an ex
pression. All the replies support the
conclusion that in-the South generally
cow pea inoculation is unnecessary
because not nrofitable. I first direct
your attention to the literature on the
subiect.
“In circular No. 53 Missouri ex
periment station, The Seeding of
Cow Peas,’ Prof. M. F. Milter dees not
mention inoculation, apparently con
sidering it unnecessary.
“In bulletin N. S. Vol 2, No. 3. A.
A M. College of Texas, ‘Peas and Pea
nuts,' Prof. A. H. Leidigh does not
mention inoculation.
“In bulletin No. 47, Deleware ex
periment station, ‘The Southern or
Cow Pen in Deleware', inoculation is
not mentioned.
* “In special circular of February 13,
1915, office of the secretory of agri
culture,’’ ‘Cow Peas in the Cotton
Belt,' Prof. W. J. Morse, scientific as
sistant, forage crop investigations,
bureau of plant industry, makes no
mention of inocutotion.
“In farmers’ bulletin 318, United
States department of agriculture,
‘Cow Peas,’ Prof. H. T. Neilson makes
no mention of inoculation.
In bulletin 184, Kentucky ex
periment station, ‘Six Different Spe
cies of Nodule Bacteria,’ Prof. H.
German says (page 349:)
it appears now to be certain that
the cow pea organism is distinct
among those studied here, and that
it does not produce nodules on any
other familiar agricultural species.
It has proved very commonly, and is
perhaps invariably, present whenever
cow peas have been grown in the
Stale.’
Now I am giving you the replies
below of some of the ablest agricultur
al authorities in the Sodth:
“Dr. B. W. Kilgore, director, North
Carolina experiment station, says:
“ ‘We do not advise inoculation for
cow peas. It » not necessary in this
territory/ -
“Prof. H. A. Morgan, director, Ten
nessee experiment station, says:
“ ‘We do not advise cultures for
cow pess in this State.’
“Prof. M. J. Funchess, for Prof. J.
F. Duggnr, director, Alabama experi
ment station says:
“Prof. Duggar out of city. Am Bure
he does not recommend the use of
cultures for cow peas in Alabama.’
“In view of these authorities and in
the light of our own observation, we
are willing to give it as our opinioq
that in South Carolina it is inadvisable
for farmers to spend money for cow
pea inoculation.

Chicago, July 25.—The bodies of 901
persons drowned when The steamship
Eastland capsized yesterday at its
wharf in \he Chicago River,’ have beed
recovered to-night, after forty hours of
searching by divert.
The total dead was put at approx
imately one tbousaad by Coroner Hoff
man whose reports indicated..that pos
sibly one hundred bodies were held in
the mud of the river by the superstruc
ture of the boat
While only 1,002 of the 2,408 passen
gers of the Eastland have registered
as saved, it wss thought that about 475
survivors, in addition to the crew of 72
had failed to report.
About three-score bodies were recov
ered from the wreck before dark to
night but after that divers discovered
only one corpse before they quit work
for the night.
There wss much confusion in the to
talling of bodies recovered, owing to
the duplications and removals. As s
result all sorts of estimates were scat
tered about the city, with guesses from
1,400 to 2,300, but officers in charge of
cl—ring the wreck have been unable
to tabulate more than the 901 bodies
listed.
The morgue was cleared to-night of
all but a score of corpses, all other vic
tims having been identified.
Investigations to determine responsi
bility for the calamity will be under
way to-morrow in s dozen quarters.
City and county officials were unani
mous in declaring that some blame
rested with Federal inspectors, alleg
ing (hey permitted the steamer to op
erate while unsafe.

A small crowd gathered at the school
house Tuesday morning to see
the demonstration in canning and
breadmaking. Owing to a mistake' in
arranging the dates, Mrs. Dora Dee
Walker and Miss Huffington could not
be present, and the canning demonstrs-
tion was conducted by Miss Nellie Ray,
of Healing Springs.
Before the actual work began, talks
were made by Dr. A. B. Patterson, Col.
H. D. Calhoun, Dr. R. S. Bailey and
Miss Jessie Armstrong, who outlined
the work of the uplift dube. Mrs. R.
S. Bailey then gave an interesting and
instructive talk on the use of the fire-
leas cooker, defnoostrsting its work by
cooking some biscuits.
* Without wasting any time in words,
Miss Ray proceeded to give a demontra-
tion in canning. Those who were pre
sent certainly realized the value of the
work and it is hoped that when the
next demonstration takes place on
August 27 more of the Barnwell people
will be present to give hearty support
to the worthy work.

Comment: The rye should be seeded

if sown broadtest, plow in with a luge
