( Our Own Correspondent) BAZ-MAH GUARANTEED RELIEF I3 THE DURHAM CHRONICLE BRONCHIAI. n COLDS 1.1!! 18 Al AID 1'0 8006888"!!- CLOVBB GROWTH . Through the use of lime and the clover plant. it is possible to util- ize atmospheric nitrogen for crop production, says W. S. Blair, Super- intendent, Experimental Station, Kentville, N.S. It has been found that clover has the power, through the aid of bacteria which live in the nodules on the clover roots, to extract nitrogen from the sonl air. Tests conducted by Dr. F. T. Shutt, Dominion Chemist, Experimental Farm, Ottawa, are conclusive on this point, showing a gain of 3% pounds of nitrogen per acre to a depth of 4 inches in five years, where clover was grown, turned un- der, and the land reseeded to this crop. Bacteria are extremely sensitive to changes in the acidity or alkal- inity of the medium in which they live, and lime, because it creates a suitable medium for the nitrogen- tlxing bacteria, is particularly val- uable in promoting clover growth. These nitrogen-fixing bacteria may readily be found in soils supplied with lime, but may be entirely lack- ing in soils deficient in lime, which would indicate that the nodule bacâ€" teria; whether within the plant root or living in the soil itself. are in- fluenced in their development by the limein the soil. Lime has an influence upon the bacteria which bring about the pro- cesses of decay and nitrification, and plays a significant part in stimu- lating all soil organisms that have to do with the liberation of plant food in the soil. Clover 'is generally spoken of as a soil builder, this in part, is due to its collecting of nitrogen, and in part to its physical effect. In re- spect to the latter. it is well known that no crop so thoroughly fills the soil with roots to as great a depth as does this plant. 0n decaying, not only are air I'iassages provided, but the decaying roots aid in the libera- tion of insoluble mineral materials, and the humus lift from this «leeay prevents the leaching of soluble plant food and the excessive dry- ing out of the soil. In a field test at the Dominion Experimental Farm, Kentville, on one-half acre areas, the average of four such plots where no lime was used was 2.480 pounds of ha ' per acre, and on adjoining plots 0 sim- ilar size, limed, 4,560 pounds of hay per acre. The areas not. limed had inferior clover growth with grasses predominating. The limed area was practically all clover.

According to Dr. Hastings‘ figures, the total cost of baking a barrel of Ilour, including all ingred- ients, baking expenses, overhead. etc., was $18.24 of which amount $4.52 had to be charged for expenses of delivery. In other words. just a fraction less than one-fourth tlu~ total cost was the delivery.

WHAT WE PAY FOR SERVICE fiwlkmpfi; although it attempted to obtain authoritive information from cer- tain quarters, was unable to do so. While it is useless to cry over 8 ilt milk. there is one aspect of is matter which is likely to be overlooked. and that is the responsi- bility of the Ontario Hydro Commis- sion in the matter. Theoretical the system'which the Ontario ydro Commission adopts is that the mun- icipality benefits or suflers from the management of local hydro accord- ingly as the affairs of the local com- mission are conducted. These ad- vantages or disadvantages neral- :ly appear in either reduce or in- “creased rates for light and wer, but the municipality is actua ly re- sponsible for any deficits. One would imagine from this that the local Hydro Commission had full control over the town’s interest in the male ter. But such is not the case. The Ontario Hydro Commission have full power over the rates charged to the local consumer. They also super- VlSt‘ the work done locally and audit the books. Whether this system is sound or not is a debatable question. Since the cost of this inspection and audit is charged directly to the local commission, they have a right to expect that this work will be well done. Apparently this was not the case, and instead of the Ontario Hydro Commission bearing the costs of" the apparent neglect of their own officers, the local Hydro has to hear them. The local Hydro commission asked for a thorough inspection and audit from the Ontario body, and the local commission was also charged with this work. If the On- tario Commission insist on super- vising the affairs of the local com- mission. they should hear the re- snonsibility when the supervision‘is at faultâ€"Palmerston Sprctator. Correct .
