INOCULATION FOR LEGUMES. Considering tbe value which attaches to tbe growing of legumes as a means of restoring soil fertility much prac tlcal Interest will attach to circular No. 03 Issued by the bureau of plant Indus try at Washington under the title "Methods of Legume Inoculation." In this brief pamphlet are discussed the two methods which are at present fol lowed in soil inoculation preparatory to the growing of leguminous crops There is pointed out the fact conclu sively demonstrated in this and foreign countries that each species of legume may be Inoculated more successfully by using the bacteria isolated from that species than those isolated from Bome other species. The two methods of inoculation are by transfer of soli from an established field of the legume which one Intends to grow and by the use of pure nitrogen fixing cultures In the former case from 200 to 300 pounds of soli from a healthy old field of the same crop or a thrifty new field are mixed with several times Its weight of ordinary soil and the mixture drilled or broadcasted on the laud to be sow pd to the legume. If broadcasted the field should be harrowed Immediately, n ml. If possible, this should be done to wnrd evening or on a cloudy day, as sunshine Is very harmful to tbe bac teria. In the second case a bottle of the pure culture of the proper kind of bacteria Is opened shortly before the seed Is to be planted and mixed with tbe proper quantity of water and this applied to the seed In such a way that all of It will be moistened, though not soaked. Drying of the seed may be hastened by adding .sufficient dry. sift ed earth. Attempts to inoculate soil by either of the above methods may not be successful If climatic or other conditions are not suited to the growth of tbe crop in a given locality. How ever; the department of agriculture is anxious to aid In this work of intro ducing the growth of the legumes In new sections and will furnish ihe pure cultures free In reasonable quantities. requiring only the filling In of blank reports, which are forwarded for the purpose from time to time. A SERIOUS CORN PEST. The larger cornstalk borer Is an Insect pest that does much damage annually to the corn crop from Maryland south .and as far west as Kansas. It was originally an enemy of the sugar cane and is supposed to have been intro duced into this country with cane cut tings from the West Indle3, Central and South America. It is also found In British Guiana. Java and Australia The damage by the worm is of two kinds that done first In the tender, growing stalks when the leaves and the crown are often riddled and that which is done later In the season when the worm bores about in tbe base of the stalk Just above and below the surface of the ground. This damage Is not always apparent In fact, seldom so unless the weakened stalk Is bro ken over by the wind, which prevents the maturing of the ear. In some southern cornfields losses from this source have run as high as from 30 to 50 per cent. As In the case of other pests which work injury to grain crops, the work of the stalk borer can be largely done away by a system of crop rotation In which small grains and legumes are used, as the pest does not persist unless there are stalks In which pupae may spend the winter. In case corn follows corn the damage done by them may be reduced by plow ing the corn stubs under to a good depth early In the spring or by remov ing the whole stalks from the field and burning them. THE CHINESE WAY. An entertaining correspondent of the Hural New Yorker gives a very dis tinct account of Chinese agriculture as followed in the province of Shantung, one of the most densely populated of the empire. One farm which he vis ited consisted of 2.5 acres and sup ported a family of twelve people, be sides one work cow, one donkey and two pigs. A forty acre tract In Amer ica as densely populated would afford a living for 192 -human beings, sixteen cows, sixteen donkeys and thirty-two pigs. The crops which were grown on this Chinese farm were wheat or barley (both of which crops were kept hand hoed), millet, soy beans and sweet potatoes. Instead of hauling their ma ture afield, as here, tlio Chinese farmer takes considerable quantities of soli from the field to his premises and there enriches It with stable manure, night soil and every possible kind of refuse which, decomposed, will nourish plants. When this is thoroughly com posted and Its fertilizing elements brought to the right condition it is dried, pulverized and applied to I ho soil as is the case with our concentrat ed commercial fertilizers. The China man Is behind the Amorlcan In a good many ways, but Ihe latter could learn inaiiy a lesson In soli conservation from tho orient.
