Legume Culture Found Helpful 



Many Oregon farmers let the little 

 legume bacteria help them speed up 

 their war production program. These 

 cultures have been used with great suc- 

 cess in this state for several years. 

 About 70 per cent of the farmers using 

 the soil inoculation cultures report 

 profit from their use. These cultures 

 are used on leguminous plants — peas, 

 beans, alfalfa, vetch, red clover and 

 alsikc. They are not needed if the 

 same crop well inoculated has been 

 grown on the land within two or three 

 years. If the soil is very acid or very 

 dry, the effectiveness of the cultures is 

 greatly decreased. It has generally 

 been found worth while to try them on 

 such ground. 



Supplies of the cultures are sent out 

 from the O. A. C. Bacteriology Depart- 

 ment this year as in former years. Suf- 

 ficient material for two acres or less 

 costs 40 cents. Enough for fifteen acres 

 costs (50 cents. Special cultures are re- 

 quired for each kind of crop. Cultures 

 are sent on receipt of payment, or by 

 C. 0. I)., parcels post. On C. O. I), 

 orders an additional ten cents should 

 be remitted. The demand for cultures 

 being far in advance of the ability to 

 fill orders, the department requests 

 from seven to ten days' advance notice. 

 Soil inoculation cultures to "ginger up" 

 the growth of legumes can be obtained 

 at Oregon Agricultural College. A sup- 

 ply for two acres or less costs 40 cents, 

 for fifteen acres or less 60 cents. State 

 kind of crop and enclose payment for 

 order. 



bread — bread you can slice and make 

 into toast and sandwiches, provided 

 you can lock it away from the family 

 until it gets cold? Here are a group of 

 successful wheatless breads made with 

 baking powder. If you wish to experi- 

 ment, try these combinations in yeast 

 breads. Ground oats combine success- 

 fully with any of the substitute cereals 

 in making hot cakes, muffins or bread. 

 To prepare ground oats, run rolled oats 

 through the food chopper:

Uncle Sam's Official Newspaper 

 Owing to the enormous increase of 

 government war work, the govern- 

 mental departments at Washington are 

 being flooded with letters of inquiry on 

 every conceivable subject concerning 

 the war, and it has been found a phys- 

 ical impossibility for the clerks, though 

 they number an army in themselves 

 now, to give many of these letters 

 proper attention and reply. There is 

 published at Washington daily, under 

 authority of and by direction of the 

 President, a government newspaper, 

 "The Official U. S. Bulletin." This 

 newspaper prints every day all of the 

 more important rulings, decisions, reg- 

 ulations, proclamations, orders, etc., as 

 they are promulgated by the several de- 

 partments and the many special cora-

IF you own an orchard or keep bees, you 

 should have a copy of our Catalog. It 

 lists everything for the successful handling 

 of bees and the production of honey. 



We are pioneers in the bee supply busi-

 familiar with local requirements and carry 

 a large and complete stock.

mittees and agencies now in operation 

 at the National Capital. This official 

 journal is posted daily in every post- 

 office in the United States, more than 

 56,000 in number, and may also be 

 found on file at all libraries, boards of 

 trade, and chambers of commerce, the 

 offices of mayors, governors, and other 

 federal officials. By consulting these 

 files most questions will be found readi- 

 ly answered; there will be little neces- 

 sity for letter writing; the unnecessary 

 congestion of the mails will be appre- 

 ciably relieved; the railroads will be 

 called upon to move fewer correspond- 

 ence sacks, and the mass of business 

 that is piling up in the government de- 

 partments will be eased considerably. 

 Hundreds of clerks, now answering 

 correspondence, will be enabled to give 

 their time to essentially important 

 rulings, decisions and war work, and a 

 fundamentally patriotic service will 

 have been performed by the public. 



Drying and Evaporating Fruits 

 In this issue appears a very valuable 

 article by Professor C. C. Vincent, "By- 

 Product Investigations." Last year 

 many fruit growers found it very 

 profitable to raise vegetables between 

 the apple trees, which enabled them not 

 only to sell fresh vegetables but to 

 evaporate and can for winter use and 

 also for sale. Evaporating and canning 

 vegetables is more important now than 

 ever before and this year it is to be 

 hoped this industry will be carried on 

 much more extensively. Europe will 

 be drawing more heavily on America 

 for all foodstuffs, and every housewife 

 should store enough to supply the 

 wants of her household, and more if 

 possible, thus enabling the factories to 

 sell their entire output for the con- 

 sumption of our soldiers and our allies.
