Many a reader who lives out-
side Mills County received his
or her Eagle last week thanks
to the courtesy and considera-
tion of James J. “Jimmy” Leon-
hard of the Goldthwaite Post
Office staff, who had an assist
from Postmas.er Lucile Fair-
man’s automobile.
In his quiet, smiling way.
Jimmy Leonhard always is do-
ing kind things for other people
and last week was just an ex-
ample, to wit:
The Eagle staff is obligated
to deliver the newspapers to
the Post Office. But last week
when came the time for mail-
ing Eagles addressed to dis-
tant points, this was the situa
tion:
___-The Editor's wife was out
gallivanting with Mrs. Ira O.
Harvgjyjn the editorial vehicle
FJ»nklin Dew Weathers did
not show up lor work because
he beats a drum in the Goldth-
waite School Band and, as
everybody knows, the Goldth-
walt$ Eagles, complete with
band, were off to meet the Mar-
ble Falls Mustangs.
Roy Lee Hill's car
not Immediately Available and
“Tooter” Kelly was reported in
possession of the Arnold K
Kelly car. Mac McOlothlln was
not immediately available with
his taxi and the Editor had
neither a pushcard or a wheel-
barrow. He called Jimmy Leon-
hard to apologize for the delay
in getting the "single wraps”
over He was kind and underr
standing on the telephone. The
next thing Jimmy, whose own
car was not available, had pur-
loined the Postmaster's auto
and appeared at the Eagle’s
back door to pick up the “single
wraps” himself.
Thank you, Jimmy. That was
only one of literally scores of
thoughtful deeds by you in be-
half of the Eagle; You are good
to others too.

News Of The Brown-
Soil Conservation District
With a sack of fertilizer on
his back, 10 pounds of vetch
seed in his hand, and a table-
spoonful of inoculant In his
pocket, a farmer has all the
equipment necessary to tap a
gold mine that lies above his
farm. Yes Sir, in the air above
each acre of land, every farmer
and rancher can claim 35,000
tons of gaseous nitrogen valued
at $5,000,000 as commercial fer-
tilizer. But the only way he can
WORK his gold mine is by using
legumes properly.
In the mad rush for this
wealth, some farmers forget the
small key that unlocks this
storehouse of fertilizer. That is
where the tablespoonful of In-
oculant comes in because it con-
tains the bacteria that attach
themselves to the roots of the
legumes. By working with the
plant, they have the ability to
take the nitrogen out of the air
and make it available to the
plant itself. The residue from
the legume plant and the bac-
terial growth add to the nitro-
gen content of the soil. The
commercial value of the nitro-
gen thus added to the soil Is $10
to $20 per acre.
In order for the legumes to
do their best, phosphate ferti-
lizer is essential. It stimulates
root development and increases
the amount of organic matter
that is added to the sdil.
If the legume bacteria are so
important in working the gold
mine in the sky„ the. farmer
should handle them carefully.
They are alive in the can and
must be alive when the legume
seeds sprout. Keep ’ the can of
inoculant In a cool place until
it Is used. Do not let the sun-
light kill the bacteria. Attach a
little of the inoculant on each
seed by dampening the seed
witn sweetmllk or syrupy water
and stirring well. Plant the
seeds immediately In moist soil
with a band of phosphate In the
same drill.
« The inoculated legumes serve
as a tonic to the land. Farmers
are finding that after one year
of soil improving legumes, the
land plows easier. They have
found that the soil breaks up
into small clods and has a
springy feel when they walk
across the field. Tile greatest
value of the legumes lies In the
response of the crops that fol-
low. The nitrogen that wa3 tak-
en from the air increases the
p iduction of the next crop.
