GLUE METHOD OF INOCULA- TION


By Frank I. Mann in Prairie Farmer. The glue method of inoculating clover and alfalfa seed is not only cheap and easy, but it is nearly "fool proof;" that is, it is not neces- sary to be very particular about all the details to have it successful in its results. A pound of glue may be dissolved in a gallon of water or in two or three gallons of water, with- out any appreciable difference in the results; and a quart of dry dirt, or a gallon of dry dirt, may be sprinkled on the seed after it has been moist- ened with the glue water. As a rule, about a quart of dirt may stick to the seed, and the rest of the dirt may be screened out or not, just as you prefer, as the amount of dirt is not material, if there is enough. In pre- paring the dirt, however, a little care should be used to secure it from a place where the bacteria are active, as shown by the nodules formed, and if the host plant, in this case sweet clover, has grown in the same place for several years the inoculation will be better. This dirt should not be dried in the sun, as direct sunlight is fatal to bacteria of nearly every kind. The dirt should be finely pulverized and sifted through a fine sieve, but this is not much trouble, as so small an amount is used.

PRAIRIE FARMER'S RELIABLE DIRECTORY


When you go into a store to buy shoes, say to the clerk, "I want a pair of shoes". Don't say, "I want a pair of shoes". If you name a brand of shoes you know will give you satisfaction, you not only say you want shoes, but you know about what you want. A clerk will always give closer attention to a customer who knows what he wants. It is human nature. The clerk will be more likely to give you satisfaction, even if he does not have the make of shoes you ask for, because he will know better what to show you, if you are willing to consider another make.
