SOYA CULTIVATION.

"ROYAL EMPIRE SOCIETY'S OFFER.

THE HONG KONG

encourage BOYL

As a result of two meetings held in London recently it was decided that the Royal Empire Society (formerly the Royal Colonial In- stitute) should cultivation in the British Empire, and a Soya Cultivation Committee was set up, of which Mrs. E, A. Hornibrook, Fellow of the Royal Empire Society, is honorary sects- tary. Through the courtesy of Dr. L. Berezeller, of Vienna, tubes of soya bacteria are now available in London, and soya seed and bac teria cultures. may be obtained through Mrs. Hornibrook at cost. Before the soya can be success- fully grown id new countries the soil must be inoculated with

nitrogen bacteria. In some enses where Manchurian beans have been sown sufficient inoculated soil has been clinging to them to inoculate the new fields. Seed harvested from this crop has fourished when sown in the same field, but failed when sown in new fields. Inocula tion of seed should be done in sheds or in the absence of sunlight, and seed should be sown on a dull day or in the evening.. The aim plest and most economical method of securing inoculation is spread the culture on the seed just before sowing.

Columbus, Ohio.-The American Chemical Society, which recently met here, held out a few alluring prospects for the future-alluring to one's desires and hopes. For in- stance, the time may be coming when a man will not have to build his own character, but can depend upon chemistry to do it for him,

Then persons owning cows will have the cow-food problems solved for all time because rows will eat wood

Still another prospect is that thieves will be changed into honest men, and the insane will be return- ed to society, minus their affliction. Lastly, the time is not far distant when ethyl alcohol will be derrived for commercial consumption from woods, and finally future genera tions may become a race of giants.
