Plant Disease Survey.

The Department OF Botany of the
agricultural Experiment Station ID
beginning a plant disease survey OF
Idaho in cooperation with the U. s.
Department of Agriculture. The OBJ
ject of this work Is to find out what
plant diseases already exist In the
state, to what parts of the state they
are confined and to cooperate with
those who are interested In combat
ing these diseases.
There are no funds available for
carrying out this work. We do have,
however, the ranking privilege
which permits us to send diseased
plant specimens and letters concerning
plant diseases thru the mails without
postage. To make this investigation
what 1T should be it will be necessary
for horticultural inspectors, fruit
growers, gardeners and farmers to as

Bitter MIX.

Bitter milk is one OF the most com
mon complaints arising during th,
spring of the year. This Is due e
several causes. the most common be
ing flayors due to spring feeds with
strong odors, the onion flavor being
most common. The only remedy Is
to keep the cattle from infested pas
lures for at least iour hours before
milking. Ii this practice is followed
the flavor is largely eliminated.
Other spring flayors due to pasture
may be avoided by changing from
winter feeas to pasture gradually, al
lowing ten to fifteen days to make
the change.
Milk may have an abnormal bitter
.aste when tar along in the lactation
period. This usually occurs when the
animal has been dry fed and appears

This may be remedied and removed

was Samaritan. an alien from the
commonwealth Of Israel.
Another crunnb OF Favor.
In his case the healing was crumb
from the children's table; for the rich
man had not died-God's favor had
not yet departed from Israel. Jesus
had not yet uttered the fateful words,
"YOur House Is left unto you desolate. "
Nay, it was three and half years
after Jesus death before the individual
favor to the Jews terminated to such
an extent that the Gospel could go to
the Gentiles.-Act 10.
Had the returning leper been a Jew,
no doubt he would have been invited
to become a follower of Jesus. But
because he was Samaritan, Jesus
merely said, arise and go thy way;
thy faith hath made thee whole +"
Doubtlesss when the time came for
opening the door to the Gentiles. this
grateful Samaritan was amongst those
who gladly made conservation to God.
Ten Hsaled--Where Were the Miner
Jesus called public attention to the
fact that only one of the ten healed
had returned to give glory to God.
True, He had not asked them to &C.
knowledge the Divine Power that
wrought through Him. True, they had
done exactly what He had told them to
do. But why did He not bargain with
them, saying, II heal you. will you
become My disciples? Why did not He
take this method Of adding to the num-
Der Of His disciples?
The preaching Of Jesus and the Apos-
ties Is in strong contrast with much
of the preaching of evangelists, reviv-
alists, etc. Never did Jesus or the
Apostles urge worldly people to be-
come disciples Of Christ. They merely
declared certain great facts, and ac-
cepted those who were thus Influenced.
They reasoned of sin. Of righteousness
and of coming time of decision, or
judgment, and left the matter with the
individual conscience. They told that
those who forsake sin and turn to God
may have forgiveness and reconcilia-

That the production OF nodules OF
the roots of leguminous plants pro
NOES plant growth is SO generally
recognized that nodular formation
either by natural or artificial means
aas become one of the present ia.
iarml problems. The benefical effect
of nodules on alfalfa, cloyer or peas
are usually evident on succeeding
crops. The addition to the soil, OF
the important element, nitrogen, il
of such value that it is very much to
the advantage OF the farmer that the
roots be well covered with nodules.
The nodules are swellings on thu
roots caused by the entrance and de.
selopement OF certain bacterial forms
which have acquired the power of alb
sorbing the nitrogen necessary fol-
,neir growth from the air instead oil
rom the soil as most other plants a.
Obliged to do. Part of this nitrogen
IS available to the plant on which the
nodule is formed and part OF it is left
n the soil by the decaying nodule
at The end of the season. Succeeding
crops are thus benefited. Increased
activity of the legume, due to the
presence OF nodules, enables the pla.
to attack and fiji for its use other sc
elements, a part of which are left
stored In the roots which become
available for following crops as decay
takes place.
There are several Ways of produc
ing nodules by different systems OF
innoculation where the proper forms
do not exist. The most commonly
used are the scattering Of infected
soil taken from a field where noduies
are produced;i the innoculation OF Sc,
Or soil with laboratory cultures; and
the innoculation of seed or soil with
The extract of crushed nodules. The
of field by the use OF
soil from another field usually pro-
duces the nodules, but may introduce
new weeds and also crown gall. No
objection can be offered, from the
of pests, to the use of lab
oratory cultures or carefully chosen
nodules. :.

owing points should be observed.

quality. We might almost say that
the degree OF our acceptance with God

Jesus was approaching Jerusalem by
way Of Samaria. 1t Is surmised that
this was His last journey to Jerusalem.
which eventuated In His death. Ten
lepers sitting by the roadside heard
that Jesus Of Nazareth was passing by.
and Immediately called to Him, MAS
ter, have mercy upon u.s." He replied,
Go show yourselves TO the priests
According to Gods arrangement
with the Jews under their Law Cove
nant they were to have no sickness ex
cept as these would represent sins;
and the priests were to pass judgment
upon cases of leprosy. Our Lords d.
rection that the lepers show themselves
to the priests implies that by the time
they would reach their destination they
would be healed. The lepers must have
exercised great faith; for instead of
crying out for instantaneous healing
they started for the priest.
They had gone but short distance
when they found themselves cured.

INSPIRATION.

notAher thirtieth of May comes.
Whether it be called Decoration Day
or Memorial Day, 1t is an occasion at
once grave and inspiring. The mis-
sion Of the day has intensified with
the gradual oozing away OF the rancor
that once lay behind 1t. Under the
blurring Of the years, May 80 has be-
come less a tribute to individual
achievement and memory and more
conservation to that love of country
which transcends all thoughts OF
self. The issues Of the old conflict
have long been forespent; what re-
mains Is the ardent sincerely of the
men who fought, whatever the color
OF their uniforms. Yet many a vet
