When a genuine four lorse stage coach with a heavy swing- . iug body fitted up with lamps and a 1 regulation driver with a rancus horn 1 which he blew with all his might avery time time he reached within five • minutes of a post office. 1 Who remembers when John King. ' William Gibson and Basil Smith were 'he regular carriers of all the dry ' goods, groceries and hardware that the merchants of the now city of Decatur handled. Day in and day out, their huge covered wagons traversed 'he decaying and worn out road rom Decatur to Fort Wayne and from Fort Wayne to Decatur. Decatur had no express office in those days and those three men being about as honest and reliable as men ever get, during the Civil War, carried large sums of money (greenbacks) which the bankers of Fort Wayne entrusted to their care. Thousands of dollars from the Adams county soldiers when paid off at the front were sent back to their families by express to Fort Wayne, but there the money had to wait until King Gilson and Smith could bring it on to Decatur. No one ever heard that any of It was ever lost. Who remembers when the old plank road was fast going to decay, when the planks were in two in the middle and the company refused to make •repairs but still kept the toll gates and collected toll? During this stage of affairs two well-known and well to do farmers of Adams county residing close to Decatur, Mr. Sam Johnson and Mr. Livellberger, each taking a load of wheat to dispose of in Fort Wayne came to a toll gate in Allen county. The roads were exceptionally bad and the men were exasperated by the keeper of the toll gate demanding toll and refusing to open the gate unless it was forthcoming. To pay toll for a plank road when the planks were more than half gone these gentlemen thought was a little more than they wanted to do. So they took their teams from their wagons, hitched them to the toll gate and pulled it up by the roots and went on to Fort Wayne, sold their wheat and returned home. The toll gate keeper (followed them to the city, had them

arrested and a trial followed. Just fl how that trial terminated this depo- I pent cannot say but thinks that soon|B after that episode all the toll gatesll wore abandoned. H. C. 8., City. I ... o 1 Soy Beans Should be Inoculated Before Sowing 1 Among the many questions which I have been coming into the county;! agent's office regarding the raising] I of soybeans is that of th" udvlsnbil- I ity of inoculating soybeans. Soybean I seed should be inoculated. The effects of Inoculation may probably not be seen in the actual crop of beans, either in Jbriftiness or number of beans. However, the beans are planted not only forth" purpose of obtaining the immediate crop but also for the beneficial effect on th" soil. When inoculated sc.'Deans produce the same effect as clover by gathering nitrogen from the air and storing it in the small knots on the mots commonly known as nodules. When ihe bacteria which form those i.odulc s are not present in the soli they must be placed there artificially, hence the necessity of inoculation. After soybeans arj once grown, inoculation will be unnecessary in the same field for some time. ] The cheapest and most popular way cf inoculating is the use of soil in which inoculated f-ojbeans have, b"en grown. A method which has' been proven eff’eiant by lean grow-, er« is that of taking one pint of tne inoculated dirt and mixing in a quart of water, then pouring the mixture on one bushel of beans which have been placed in a tub or other suitable container. The mixture should be I well distributed through the beans j by mixing them. This amount of dirt, and water enables practically all the beans to receive some inoculation but does not wet them excessively. Others use dry dirt, mixing It with the beans. Commercial inoculators are also used successfully although the expense is much more. As a rule those who are obtaining their seed from local farmers can also obtain soil for inoculating at the same place. However, for the convenience of those who cannot obtain such soil without going some distance, a supply has been obtained • by the county agent and can be ob- ’ talned at his office by calling for it, except where a large amount is ; needed. > O ’ B—B—S—WANT ADS EARN—B—B—B
