MAA ny molly pkunk f IT SALEM DISTRICT MUST HAVE LEGUMES TO LIVE AND PROSPER -f- 'Plant growth depends upon nitrates; as much so as ani mal 'life depends upon air. The legumes arethe only mem bers of the vegetable kingdom that have the power to ex tract! nitrogen from the air and "fix" it in the soil . iTherefore we must grow the legumes. ' jEach legume is a miniature nitrate factory, and it does ita work secretly , and underground. It takes the nitrogen front jthe air with its leaves and makes it into nitrates with the nodules on its roots. So, every scheme of crop rotation must include legumes; clover or peas or beans or the vetches or other first, second or third cousins all belonging to the great pulse family with seed; pods and butterflyhaped or two-winged flowers. The legumes put into the soil the elements that are needed for the growth of all 1 other crops. There are1 two other great reasons why the Salem dis trictj In particular should grow more legumes if it could be conceited that more reasons were thinkable. First, legumes go. with dairying, and this is essentially a dairy country. We must have cows to provide soil fertili zation, and. we must have cows to mother our swine breeding and ftoultry industries. Cows must go with our orchards; both; cows and cover crops of legumes. No orchard will re main! thrifty Without the constant' renewal of the fertility of the soil. Second, we must have honey bees. There can be no cer tainttf of pollination without bees. The winds do not carry the cherry blossoms at all. They must be carried by the bees. In the years when we have steady rains during the fruit blooming season, there may be partial or even total failure of pollination of any or all fruit Crops without honey bees to carry I the pollen, during the sunshiny hours between the showers.' The bees run from 20,000 to 100,000 workers to the hive,! and, where there are numerous colonies of bees, whole great 'orchard areas may be pollenized in an hour "' -And the bee keeping industry of our district depends for Its great success upon the Bokhara, White, Sweet or Honey cloverr-absolutely. Thisis the only crop that will fully sup ply ample late bee pasture. No country has more abundant early bee pasture than this ; and all we need to make the Salem district the best bee country in all the world is plenty of goiod late summer bee pasture. ' The Salem district Is potentially the richest section of the entire world. It is the land of diversity. Nature has been j more than lavish. We can grow and do more things better than any other people than is possible in any other sec tirmll But we must assist nature: work with nature. . We must grow and do the things we can grow and do best; fol low the fields where there is no competition ; at least no qual ity competition. We must follow the lines of least resistance. And in this scheme or things legumes are among me most Important for our people. : -'' "IK - .. . .

Margaret Matzenauer, the world's greatest contralto who appears Friday night at the Armory, the support ing artists, Frank LaForge, pian ist and Charles Carver, the com ing young basso should be suffi ciently attractive to draw a capac ity audience. Mr. LaForge is considered without a peer as an accompanist. He has been called upon to assist the world's greatest songsters, and is recognized also as a soloist of fine attainments. On tomorrow evening's program he is scheduled for two solo numbers. "Romance," a LaForge composition and "Etude de Con cert." by MacDowell. Every service and ex-service man in Salem should be interested in Mr. LaForge. inasmuch as he was one of the first big musicians to volunteer as a participant in me world war. Receiving his service medal he returned home to appear with other big artists in Denent concerts for the Red Cross, Liberty loan and so forth. The pianist plays all his ac companiments without music, and is me oniy artist to do this. He reaches the heighth of intellectual mentality rar beyond dry tech nique and musical scores and la the creator of beautiful prismal lights colors painted by a master artist. t. n . . carver, wno is a young American. loured the country with Mme.

It will provide the late bee pas ture, to make this the greatest bee country on earth li And, by the same sign, it will make certain absolutely the pollination of the fruit blossoms. V V Little things count in fruit growing; the winded workers gathering honey from the flowers; and the microscopically small ani mals that manufacture nitrates in the nodules on the rootlets of the legumes, in the silent factories of nature hidden in the soil. "God moves in amysterious way His wonders to perform," is the way you used to write it in your Spencerian copy book when you attended deestrick skule. One way is with the nodules, the knowl edge or which in his noodle is a most important thing for the fruit grower. If; if the building trades wage scales for Salem were adjusted a little: and if all the people who ought to do so would buy local building and loan shares, there would be enough homes built in olftm to accommodate all the peo ple who would like to live hern.
