stead of eating the currants here,
the local school boys and girls,
who have 100 per cent membor.-hip
in the Red Cross, voted to send
them to five hospitals, accorling
to Miss Nina H. Little, county
nurse, who informed local children
of the gift yesterday.
Part of the currants wiU be

Vernonia bakery, gratis, and send

balance of the currants will be
sent to the childrens T. B. hospital

The letter from the Greek Jun
iors follows:
Dear Friends,
As a token of our devotion to
the work of the J. R. C. and of
our strong desire to enter into re
lations with you, no matter how
far away you live, we send you
this small present which you will
oblige us in accepting.
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.

¿TZ’ DEN big-city folks must have their “neighborhood
stores”! Most of them would no more think of
going down town to fight their way through the crowds
in search of a roast for dinner than they would of
walking to the factory to get a pair of shoes.
City women know that their neighborhood stores can
supply them just what they want — and that, in most
cases, the service is more alert and friendly.
The same thing is true of this "neighborhood”. Our
