Meat lnp' I lull Helps Prcxluri-rs.
"Contrary to the common belief
that meat inspection is conducted
principally for consumers, it lias a
side which is of direct help to live
stock producers," gays the Chief of
Hie Bureau of Animal Industry, Uni
ted Stules Department of Agriculture.
"In the first place, the bulk of our
foreign trade in meats depends al.
most entirely on the Federal meat in
spection service. Most foreign gov
ernments will not accept meat that
has not been federally Inspected. In
spection of import meats, acompanted
by rejection of meat products not en
titled to entry, is of course a factor
In our domestic market.
"Through the Federal meat-inspection
service it has been possible to ob
tain very detailed records of condi
tions of animals at time ot slaughter.
These records show clearly whether
certain animal diseases are on the in
crease or decrease, and, through a
system known as field inspection, cen
ters of infection have in numerous
cases becu found and wiped out.
"Of course, the main benefit of
Federal meat inspection to producers
is the confidence of the American
public in inspected meats, and It Is
noteworthy that the average per cap
ita consumption of meats lias Increas
ed as the meat inspection service has
been extended."
I'w for Wasted Whey.
Development of a method of uti
izlng whey as a human food is the
object of work now in progress in the
Bureau of Animal Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture. It
is thought probable thut whey repre
sents u greater actual loss of food
than skim milk which now has be
come an Important by-product in the
dairy Industry because its feeding
value is not generally recognized.
Cheeses have been made from whey,
but the demand for them has been
limited. The use of these cheeses
might be extended if their value for
cooking could be brought to the at
tention of housekeepers. Investiga
tions of the use of whey solids as
poultry feed also have been begun.
Considerable work has been done
on the development of casein for use
in waterproof glue, and a casein of
low ash and acid has already been
produced.
A method of producing casein from
buttermilk is also being worked out.
By use of a solvent to extract the fat
from the buttermilk, small lots of
casein have been made, and this pro
duct was found to be of general good
quality and low in fat and ash, but it
had Hie objection of dissolving slow
ly. Better Way of Cunning "Hwwts."
In the farm canning of fruits and
vegetables for the purpose of conserv

cause of distance from market or of
untowurd weather conditions, the
Bureau of Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture
luis in ils experiments- worked out
satisfactory methods of canning sweei
potatoes. Those now commonly used
both on the farm and by commercial
canners result in a product which has
a more or less burnt and otherwise
unpleasant flavor. These Investiga
tions have revealed the cause, and
the new method results in a product
essentially like fresh sweet potatoes.
Canning tests have been made of 24
varieties, showing a wide variation in
the value of different verietles for
canning purposes.
Aid for Hawaiian Potato (, rowers.
An industry of considerable impor
tance in Hawaii, the growing of Irish
potatoes, has been largely discourag
ed in recent years by repeated crop
failures and unfavorable marketing
conditions. In consequence the Unit
ed States Department ot Agriculture,
through the Hawaiian Experiment
Station, has conducted an investiga
tion of potato diseases In Hawaii to
find a means of solving the local
grower's problems.
It was found that crop failures
were due to the use of poor seed, con
tinuous cropping with no systematic
rotation, diseases and insect pests,
and unsatisfactory soil conditions.
The department believes that the
potato Industry of the Islands can be
put upon a far more profitable basis
If there will be universal adoption of
seed selection and disinfection, crop
ping rotation, and spraying with Bor
deaux mixture. Already some of the
growers have taken up spraying and
other crop improvement measures.
Sprayed plats show increases of from
50 to 200 per cent over unsprayed
areas. In controlling the late blight,
one of the most destructive diseases,
a locally developed variety of pota
toes offers considerable promise in
resisting injury.
As the Bud, So the Fruit.
In the propagation of citrus fruits,
buds should be selected not only from
trees of known bearing proclivities,
but even from limbs whose bearing
porclivitles are known, announces the
United States Department of Agricul
ture in connection with Its bud-selec.
Hon work in California. Trees are ;
exceedingly common, say the special- j
ists, which In the main bear fruit of i
desirable type but have some limbs on
which fruit is varying from the ac
cepted standard i produced.
Individual tree-performance re
coids of young trees which have been
propagated from older trees confirm
the previous conclusion that the char
acteristics of the parent tree are pro-i
pagated In the progeny with no im
portant exception or variation. The
progenies in experimental plantings
are producing fruit comparably in
every particular to that borne by the
parent trees. If the parents were
large yielders or had other desirable
characteristics, so have the progeny.
If the parent trees were barren or j
relatively so, the progeny is found to ,
t.e unprofitable. I
The performance records of Indiv-1
ulual trees on wnicn aepanmemai
spec alifts have been working for
some years, as well as cooperative re
cords secured by the growers them
selves, are serving an exceedingly im
portant purpose, in that they are used
as a bnsls tor choosing the trees u-i';d
as a source of bud.wood by the bud
supply department of the California
Fruit Growers' Exchange. This de
partment furnishes buds practically
at cost from record trees to all grow
ers and nurserymen who are desirous
of securing them.
