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.

Next week, the Salem Slogan editor will try to show
that burs is the best asparagus country in the world.

the occasion for borrowing never
arises.
The United States National Bank is al
,ways ready to recognize legitimate en

Aside from Mme. Margaret
Matzenauer, the world's greatest

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

the creator of beautiful prismal
lights colors painted by a master

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

scales for Salem were adjusted a
