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.

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 metal, wood or other suitable ma! 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."! 1 '
