BULLETIN OX BEAN GROWING.
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture recently Issued Farmers' Bul
letin No. 561 entitled "Bean Grow
ing in Eastern Washington and Ore
eon, and Northern Idaho." This bul
letin discusses in detail the cultural
methods used by the most success
ful bean raisers in Nez Perce Lewis,
and Latah counties, Idaho, and Uma
tilla county, Oregon. It was found
that farmers are growing as many
bushels of wheat, oats or barley per
acre following beans a3 after an or
dinary summer fallow. The culti
vation of the bean crop replaces the
work necessary* to care for the fal
low, and leaves the soil in excellent
condition for the seeding of winter
wheat. This bulletin is of interest
to the people living in the molster
portion of the Inland Empire and
should be in the hands of every
farmer in that section. In order to
obtain Farmers' Bulletin 561 write
to Mr. W. L. Spillman, Office of
Farm Management, Washington, D.
C, or to the author, Mr. Lee W. Flu
harty, Walla Walla, Wash. It may
also be had by writing to your con
gressman or to the Secretary of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C.

FARM PRODUCE BY POST
Washington, March 23. —Prelim-
inary steps were taken by the post
office department today to perfect
its plan for reducing the cost of liv
ing by having the parcel post carry
products of the farm directly to the
door of the consumer.
Ten cities were selected to begin
ihe work of establishing direct con
lection between producer and con
sumer, Postmaster General Burleson
having already issued an order per
mitting the use of crates and boxes
for butter, eggs, poultry, vegetables
and fruit shipped by parcel post.
Orders went today to the post
masters at Boston, Atlanta, St.
Louis, San Francisco, Baltimore, De
troit, La Crosse, Wis., Lynn, Mass.,
Rock Island, 111., and Washington,
directing them to "receive the
names of persons who are willing to
supply farm products In retail quan
tities by parcel post."
Printed lists or these names,
showing kind and quantity of com
modity available will be distributed
among town and city patrons.
"By the use of the lists," First As
sistant Postmaster General Roper
said, "the city consumer will be able
to get in touch with a farmer who
will fill his weekly orders for butter
and eggs and other farm produce.
The consumer will receive the pro
duce fresh from the country, and
the personal relationship established
will no doubt tend to improve the
quality.
"The farmer will be relieved of
carrying his produce to market, as
the rural carrier will make daily col
lections at the farmer's door of these
retail shipments to city consumers."
To further insure the -safe deliv
ery of articles sent by parcel post
and to educate the senders in pack
ing goods which might injure the
mails, instructions have been issued
regulating the shipping of butter,
eggs, fruit, vegetables, dressed
poultry and other articles weighing
over 20 pounds, making it possible
to ship them in the first and second
zones in boxes and crates, to be car
ried outside of mail bags.
All liquids sent through the mails
must be carefully packed, cither in
boxes holding excelsior, sawdust or
other absorbent material. The stop
pers or corks must be put in so that
there will be no danger of loosening.
Unloaded pistols or guns may be
sent through the mails, but the post
master at the mailing office must
examine them and determine
whether they are safe. Parcels con
taining perishable articles shall be
marked "Perishable." Articles like
ly to perish before the time allowed
for delivery at their destination sha!l
not bo accepted.
Manufacturers or dealers intend
ing to transmit articles in consider
able quantities should submit to the
postmaster at the mailing office for
approval a specimen parcel showing
the manner of packing.
Sharp-pointed or sharp-edged in
struments or tools shall be capped or
incased so that they can not cut
through their covering. Blades shall
be bound so that they will remain
firmly attached to each other, or
within their handles or sockets.
Plowshares, stove castings, pieces of
machinery, etc., shall have all points,
edges and corners thoroughly pro
tected with excelsior or similar ma
terial and be wrapped in burlap,
cloth or tough paper, or be properly
boxed to prevent damage to mail or
equipment when intended for other
than local delivery.
Butter, lard and perishable arti
cles, such as fish, fresh meats,
dressed fowls, vegetables, fruits, ber
ries and articles of a similar nature
which decay quickly, when so packed
cr wrapped as to prevent damage to
ether mail matter, shall be accepted
for local delivery, either at the office
mailing or any rural route start
ing therefrom. When inclosed in an
inner cover and a strong outer cover
T wood, metal, heavy corrugated
pasteboard, or other suitable mater
ial, and wrapped so that nothing can
ape from the package, they will
be accepted for mailing to all offices
to which in the ordinary course of
ail they can be sent without spoil
ing.
Butter, dressed fowls, vegetables,
fruits and other perishable articles
In parcels weighing more than 20
pounds shall be accepted for mailing
to offices in the first and second
zones when suitably wrapped or in
closed and packed in crates, boxes
or other suitable containers having
tight bottoms to prevent the escape
of anything from the package and so
constructed as to properly protect
the contents. All such parcels to be
transported outside of mail bags.
Vegetables and fruits which do
not decay quickly will be accepted
for mailing to any zone if packed so
as to prevent damage to other mail
matter.
Eggs shall be accepted for local
delivery when so packed in a basket
or other container as to prevent
damage to other mail matter.
Eggs shall be accepted for mail
ing regardless of distance when each
egg is wrapped separately and sur
rounded with excelsior, /cotton, 0 »
other suitable material and packed
in a strong'- container made 0 1
double-faced corrugated pasteboard

terial and wrapped so that nothing
can escape from the package. All
such parcels shall be labeled "Egg 8 "
FERTILIZERS FOR ALFALFA.
Recent studies by the State Agri
cultural Experiment Station of Wash
ington upon tho fertilizer require
meats of alfalfa offer increasing cvi.
di nee that nitrogen and sulphur are
inseparably associated with each
other in the growth of this crop; that
lv the absence of either, an off-color
and stunted growth results. Say»
Professor George A. Olson:
"Reference has been made here
tofore to the dark green color ob-
served in alfalfa plants where gyp.
sum and superphosphates had been
added. Similar results were obtain
ed from the use of sulphuric acid.
In all three instances, it is noted that
this addition of chemical substances
containing sulphur has in some way
not only produced healthier looking
plants, but also remarkably large
yields, in comparison to untreated
plots, were obtained.
'
"The occasional yellow color of
alfalfa has always been attributed
by authorities to the lack of nitrogen
food, or nitrogen-gathering bacteria,
01 both. While such statements as I
those are accepted as true, they ap- |
pear to be contrary to observations
made in our Washington investiga
tions.
"The importance of nitrogen
gathering bacteria in keeping the
nitrogen balance of the soil can not .
be. disputed. Nevertheless, we found
instances wherein the nitrogen
gathering bacteria were well distri
buted in our soil and numerous
nodules were on the roots of tha
alfalfa plants; yet, the yellow color
continued to predominate. The yel
low color remains unchanged, even
where nitrate of soda has been ap
plied. These results indicate that
nitrogen food itself does not con
tribute to the formation of the dark
green color In alfalfa; at least, as
has been generally supposed. It
should not be overlooked, however,
that some interfering substance may
prevent the formation of the dark
green color. Perhaps the presence
of black alkali (sodium carbonates),
or, possibly, a lack of sufficient
available sulphur in the soil, or both,
interfere with the proper coloring
of the plant.
"However, experiments wherein
the black alkali is neutralized with
hydrochloric acid have not altered
tho yellow color; while sulphuric
at iii has restored the color. So have
calcium sulphate and dicalcium acid
phosphates which contain calcium
sulphate. We are, therefore, in
(lined to believe that sulphur in,
some form contributes largely to the
formation of the dark green color in
alfalfa.
"Finally, when the added sulphur
has been exhausted, the yellow color
appears in subsequent crops. We are
also looking for diminished yields on
these plots, due to the reduction of
sulphur content to the quantity nor
mally found in the soil.
"There is another possible expla
nation that is certainly worth con
sidering, which Is that both nitrogen
and sulphur contribute to the for
mation of dark green color, and
when in proper combinations, stimu
late a more vigorous and healthy
growth. Soils, therefore, which are
abundantly supplied with available
sulphur, but are poor in nitrogen
food, respond to the application of
nitrates, or to the introduction of
the desirable nitrogen bacteria to:
produce the darker green color, only
because the sulphur was present In
those soils in ample quantity. This
thought also explains why it has been
believed that a lack of nitrogen pro
duces the undesirable color and
much smaller yields.
"Whatever the functioning process
may be, the importance of sulphur
as a plant food constituent is self
evident. Applications of sulphur
compounds in the forms of sulphates
or sulphuric acid have produced won
derful results. The yields are too
high to be ignored, and they are be- -
yond the possibilities of experimen
tal errors. Whether or not the con- ,
tinued use of sulphur applications j
will prove detrimental to the grow
ing of alfalfa or other crops can be'
determined only by many years of 1
careful study. The question of what I
form of sulphur is best suited to
maintain the sulphur balance in our
basaltic loam soils has not been de
termined. Perhaps ordinary flours
of sulphur will answer as well as the I
more complicated compounds, and .
everything considered, will be the |
cheapest to buy. Sulphur can be I
bought In carload lots cheaper than
It Is possible to buy sulphuric acid:
and, measured pound for pound, the I
former will go three times farther."!
