The currants which the carton contains are the best dried fruit grown in our country their taste is excellent and their stimulating power is by far greater than that of any other fruit. We eat currants as they are or by mixing them into different cakes and puddings. The first way of eating them Is strongly recommended in winter time for children as well as for adults. , Looking forward to hear from you, We remain, Yours sincerely, The Greek Juniors. Bacteria of Legumes Can Be Hail From O.A.C. Oregon farmers can obtain le gume bacteria from the department of bacteriology at O. A. C. accord ing to W. V. Halversen associate bacteriologist of the experiment station. A large supply of the organisms have been produced by the department during the past winter. “In limestone regions where al falfa has been grown and bacteria established in the soil,” says Pro fessor Halversen, “legume bacteria seem to remain indefinitely whether alfalfa is grown or not. In soils that are acid or sour the clover and alfalfa bacteria do not flourish or whether a cereal crop has been grown frequent application must be used to produce successful crops of the legume in question.” All legume plants can be ino culated, but bacteria which will produce nodules on the roots of one will not produce on the roots of all others, that is, the bacteria will not inoculate plants outside their particular group. For inocula tion purposes plants are divided into the following groups: 1, alfal fa and sweet clover; 2, red clover, alsike, burr and white clover; 3, garden peas, sweet peas and vetch; 4, soy beans; 5, garden beans and scarlet runner beans. Bottles of legume bacteria can be obtained from the college for 25 cents a piece. Each bottle will in oculate enough seed for two acres.

At times when the supply of high protein wheat has been short, premiums of fully a cent have been paid for each added tenth of one per cent of protefft over a given basic amount. Potato scab infection is usually lessened by the adoption of a 3 or 4 year crop rotation system in which clover, alfalfa, sweet clover or other leguminous crop precedes potatoes. Avoid planting on land known to be badly infected with scab. Disinfect before planting in a hot or cold formaldehyde solut- ion or in a corresive sublimate solution. The consumption of beef per person in the United States for 1926 has been placed at 63.4 pounds. This represents an increase of 1.3 pounds over 1925, the con sumption of all meats in 1926 was 142.8 pounds, as against 142.6 pounds in 1925. Fewer food ani mals were slaughtered in this country during 1926 than in 192a, but the total output of meat was larger by 240 million pounds ac cording to estimates by the United States department of agriculture.
