SIBERT, Tax Collector, McCormick County. Tax Collector’s Office, McCormick C. H. S. C., May 14, 1928.-3t L-»-, r Soybeans utilize the nitrogen in the air through bacteria on the roots of the plant, the presence of these bacteria being shown by the devel opment of nodules (small knots) cn the roots. When soybeans are grown cn land planted to this crop for the first time, it is advisable to inocul ate. One of the most common causes of failure in growing a first crop of soybeans is lack of inoculation which is usually indicated by a pale or yel lowish green color of the plant. In oculation may be accomplished through cultures of bacteria which are applied to the seed before being planted. Another method is to make an application of soil from land on which inoculated soybeans have been previously grown about 250 pounds of inoculated soil being applied to an acre. This method of course in volves considerable labor. Inocula tion is most easily accomplished on neutral or alkaline soil. When the soil once becomes thoroughly inocul ated it need not be done again if a soybean crop is grown occa ionally on the land.

The gardens are hok ng fine, and before long vegetables wil. be plentiful. Quite a crowd from here attendee the B. Y. P. U. Convention at Plum Branch. Each meeting gets better. The Rehoboth delegation could not dut number the Bold Springs Union. It carried back the attendance ban ner; Mountain Creek came next. The music and sweet songs, the good talks were very inspiring to all, and the dinner was attractively arranged on the table by a commit tee who knew their business, and de lightful teas were served by the gen erous Plum Branch people. Our next meeting will be at Gilgal. The Edge- field Juniors carried the efficiency banner back home with them. This band is a wonderful band with a wonderful leader. We all love Miss Hortense Woddson for her noble work and kindness in helping all tho unions. Rev. G. W. Curley preached hie first sermon as pastor of Rehoboth Church Sunday morning. He called his sermon a get acquainted sermon, and it was splendid, and while so tactfully telling the people how he came to serve he kindly told seme things that would be expected of the people, and made a proposition ask ing all who would stand by him as long as he stood by the Bible; almost the entire audience rose in response. Mrs. Roy Harling brought her sweet little daughter to Rehoboth Sunday. This little lady is beginning worship early at the right place, j where her mother has been such a faithful worker. Among the visitors at Rehoboth Sunday night at B. Y. P. U. were Mr. Ed Wells, Mr. Cowan McBride and several young men from Gilgal Mrs. W. P. Cheatham has been over in this section visiting her daughter, Mrs. W. T. Strom, also her daughter, Mrs. R. M. Winn, at Plum Branch. The church unanimously elected the following officers: Mr. H. E. Freeland, superintendent, to fill the vacancy made by Mr. J. E. Strom’s moving away; Mr. J. C. C. Seigler clerk, to fill the place made vacant when Mr. R. D. Seigler moved away-, It was voted upon and decided that there would be preaching at Reho- bc-th fourth Sunday morning and second Sunday evening. Glad to say Mrs. Kathryn Mayson is much improved and is able to go to McCormick to visit her daughter, Mrs. C. W. Pennal. Mr. Etha n White and family vis ited Mr. John Griffis and family Sunday. The Mother’s Day programme was beautifully carried out at B. Y. P. U. Sunday night.* The music was simp ly grand, the songs were sweetly surg. Our dear mothers deserve all the honor and more than they got. the Mother’s Day gifts make their hearts rejoice. Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Ousley vis ited relatives here last week end.
