their . characteristics Is that they
bear their seeds in legumes. so

Pull up a. ' pea or bean, or dig
Up a cloTer and look'at the roots.
You, will find them covered with
little knots or bumps which the
Ubotanlsts call . nodulesJ f fThese
are the nitrate factories. Thev
are caused by a small organism, a
bacteria or bacterold,; which has
the faculty 'est grabbing the nitro

legume, grows,' some of tiese
nitrogen gathering becteria are
left lo the soil. It'is now: possi
ble to inoculate the soil with them
through "cultures Tery . cheaply
procurable at seed stores. .
Plowing under the legumes is
now recognized as a scientific
way of maturing. The dying roots

Some reader will say : Mr.
Pearcy is low on pears. Another
win say he is high a strawberries.-
And so on down the line, ff
j Well, any reader is invited to
shoot holes into this, estimate.
f Taere should be a full anil
free discussion. It would be a
good thing, all around. 1 t i ij
If the boys, school.' can' bu
nade self supporting, or f mora
than self supporting, and still
more reformatory; or of more
benefit to the boys, the thing to
do is to make it self supporting.
Who says it cannot be'done?
Who says the estimates ' above
are wrong? ' And how are they
wrong?
Nitrate Fertilizers': Benefit
Garden Crops 150
Pounds to Acre Right- '
"(Following Is a enrrent bulle
tin of the department of Indus
trial journalism of the Oregon
Agricultural cpllege: ) ;
Applications df nitrogen fertil
izers materially benefit ' spring
garden crops. Nitrogen is one of
the essential plant Jood elements
and Is directly associated with
vegetable! growth. Sodium ni
trate or Chili saltpeter furnishes
nitrogen in a form that is readily
available for plant use." L . Mi "
. Much depends' on applying' the
nitrate at the right .time, the best
being early In, the. growing period
of the plant. ' The increased ben
efit ; will compensate for .'any
losses due to leaching. : j! j
The application of sodium i ni
trate recommended Jfor the gar
den is 150 pounds to the acre.
Large lumps should be crushed
and screened through one-fourth
inch -screen or smaller.; Before
spreading the fertilizer mix with
twice Its weight' qf sand or air
slacked lime, to act as a filler and
aid In even distribution. Some
times superphosphate is used
with sodium nitrate, ISO pounds
of nitrate to 300 pounds of super
phospate. After thorough mix
ing these fertilizers are applied
broadcast or. Jjy fertilizer distri
buting, machines. Work the 'ma
terial lntaf the surface soil with a

Sodlum'nltrate fertilizers should

Do not" put an excess near

Rockwell Kent, artist aiid amateur explorer, has returned
after an absence of ten morjfths, mostly spent down, near Cape
Horn, trying to reach th eCae's tip. Mr. Kent doesn't look like
a man who nearly died on the Strait of Magellan when his small
boat sprung a leak. His veitures included a! journey to Patagonia
and Terra del Fuego. . ', ' . 1 . - 1 - (
he' .tried to Interest various nur
series in his tree, but without suc
cess. Finallr he sent samples of
the apples toa" fruit show in IMis
souri. The, manager of the show,
who was a practical nurserytnan,
was attracted by the appearance of
the apples, lie bit into one,1 and
Immediately exclaimed, "Delici
ous!" .Thus was born the name
of the new fruit.
He looked to see who hadgsent
In the exhibit, but the tag had
become lost In the shuffle, and
there was nd way of Identifying
the exhibitor. There, was nothing
to do but wait. In the hope that
the unknown' exhibitor would
send apples the next year. And
he did. This time the manager
unpacked the exhibits 1 himself,
and discovered from whom tbe
"Delicious" apples had come. The
result was a contract with, the
owner' of the tree giving the nur
seryman the right to propagate
anJ market scions from the tree.
A scion, 'horticultu rally, is a slip

himself. The caretaker should

with day-old chicks until they are
six weeks j old. They, must be
watched and; their 1 special needs
must be apprehended unless they
are fortunate enough to have a
