Knight, to be held next Wednesday, Nov. 28th at 1 1 A. M. at the Courthouse. I It will be remembered that at a similar meeting some time ago a com- < mittee of prominent citizens was appointed to study the rohd situation in Chesterfield County as well as the financial condition of the same. The duty of this committee was to present recommendations for changes in our road laws and the laws governing the j finances of the County , * This committee made a tentative ' i i report to the supervisor and it is now j I desired to put the matter up t ? the ' I | taxpayers. At the recent meeting in the Supervisor s < filce the following recommendations were made, though ^ there have been some changes in I , these Recommended That: A law be enacted causing a levy of 5 mills on all property of the townships that have i J I'ot voted on road bonds and tifat ( each person between the ages of 21 i an<l 50 years be required to pay a ca- f putation tax of $:t.00, this to be col- 1 lected as other taxes. 2d. That the county supervisor be ; required to start a labor Kanj; in each township that has not the bond sys- f teni and that the Supervisor be re- j quired to employ a good and conipe- t tent man for each township, that as | many hands be employed as the j funds will permit and that the Supervisor be required to see after their ' work the same as the rhniuguni;; ami ' that the county senator with the re- ' presentatives appoint three good men in each township without pay to advise the Supervise-* am! for*- , man of the township gang it. to the _ best plans to pursue in their township. .'id. That the commutation t;.x in the township working under the bond 5, system he turned over to the bond commissioner of the said township to be used as the township funds and 1 account* I for by the bond commissinners 11.? same as other funds. These are substantially the recommendation which the tax payers will he invited to consoler at the Mast Meeting next Wednesday.

The principal winter legumes lapted to South Carolina are the tches and clovers, while in summer toding peas and beans give best reilts as legume crops. Alfalfa Is an tcellent nitrogen gatherer but 1* it her expensive and sometimes dif:-ult to get started, and then must imain on the land for three or four ?ars to give its full returns. The idea that a large part of tho itrogen tixed by the bacteria is stor1 in the roots of the legume is wrong, xperiments indicate "that only six ir cent of the nitrogen in the cow?a plant is stored in the roots. G.ft *r cent in soybeans, eleven per cent i the roots of vetch, six per cent for imson clover, and as much as ilrty-two per cent for red clover and irty-two per cent in case of alfalfa, ho stubble contains some nitrogen In ldltion to that stored in the roots. The amount of niirno/ii, .... ... I1J? to tho plant Is about two thirds of e total. In other words, one ton of wpeas or soybean plants which lalyze 2.r? per cent nitroRen will mtain fifty pounds total nitroRen. wo-thlrds of this, or 33.7 pounds, as taken up l?y the bacteria.
