beneficial results to farmers for a number of years In principle legume inoculation is the introduction to the soil of the proper strains of nitrogenfixing bacteria for the various legumes using the seed as a means of introduction The nitrogenfixing bacteria which enables legumes to utilize nitrogen from the air establish themselves on the roots of healthy plants in the form of little dumps called nodules It is inside the nodules that these highly beneficial nitrogengath ering bacteria perform their work Here they assimilate the free nitrogen of the air and then convert it into a form

of the sports world which is well populated with such folk frequently lament that in no sport do the moderns equal those of another era for durability and such qualities The modern streamlined hockey with its fast playerchanges is frequently made a case to prove toe point and the absence of the old rrsinute player is mourned in floods of bathos The platoon system of football is criticized as producing a breed of spe cialists Even the horses moan these relics of another sports age dont run so fast as formerly But most of all these folk point to modern boxing with its limited rounds as a sport that has grown soft They la ment the days of of ferocity violence when contestants showed stamina and the ability to with stand punishment And if that is true were very glad indeed that things have changed After Battling Nelson the shell of a oncegreat athlete with the durability traditional of those rugged days of sport died in complete poverty we dug into some ancient refresh our memory on some of the Durable Danes major battles particularly his long and vicious fight with Ad for the lightweight crown which Nelson then held And in our search we came across a newspaper account of the fight which reported that it was one of the most some merciless heartthrobbing vicious battles of all time and although won he would never be himself again I Nelson so the story said proved a punching bag for the young German from Cadillac Mich Nelson took a merciT less pounding and after the fight his body and face showed he had undergone a terrible ordeal Nelson was declared loser by knockout in the the round He was still on his feet but blinded by his own blood streaming down his face And truly enough as the writer forecast wasv never quite the same afterwards He is now spending declining days in an insane asylum living in the hazy of his great days and training for the fight of tomor row that his punchwrecked brain envisions That was a tight so we take it typical of the era for which nostalgic fistic veterans sometimes mourn Doubtless there were athletes of great courage in those net more so than today In the fights of limited rounds where accent is on skill and speed if less on the durability Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson Mr J J Calvert Field Manager Newmarket District 2 Drive Toronto fV DISTILLERS LIMITED A A s5 ITS MY iV-
