ALFALFA SEED SUPPLY
Turkestan Variety Imported to
Help Out Domestic Stock.
Not Well Adapted for General Use in
United States and Particularly Un.
desirable for Eastern Humid
Sections.

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
During the fiscal years ended June
80, 1913, 1914 and 1915, approximately
six million, five million, and even mil
lion pounds. respectively, Of alfalfa
seed we're imported, while during the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1915, less
than three and one-fOurth million
pounds were imported.
For several years Russian Turkestan
has been the only country having d
large surplus of seed available for in
ternatiOnal trade, but the supply OF
seed from this source has been prac-
tically shut Off since the beginning Of
the European war, until the past win
ter, when shipments were begun by
the way of the trans-Siberian railway,
.V%ladivOstOk. and the Pacific ocean. OF
the seed Imported into the United
States since July I, 1915, more than
half has been from Russian Turkestan,
and no doubt more Of this seed will be
brought in as transportation can be
arranged.
Inc snort domestic supply OF last
year, together with the decreased i'm.
ports, have resulted In q marked In
crease In the price of seed over that
OF a year ago. The lack of alfalfa
seed In this country this year must be
made up by Importation, and this viii

butter. 1t can be obtained from firms
handling dairy supplies. The ordinary
waxed paper commonly used for wrap
ping lunches should not be used for
wrapping butter, as 1t tears easily and
sticks to the butter.
The placing of the wrapped print
of butter in pasteboard boxes or car
tons protects the butter from finger
prints, dust, and dirt. Parafiined car
tons are preferable because they do
not absorb water and because they
form "a stronger and tighter package.
The trademark or butter-maker's
name on the carton serves as an ad-
vertisement. Cartons bearing any de-
sired design or printing can be OBJ
tanned at small cost from firms han
ding dairy supplies.
The appearance of the package of
butter determines it's selling price to
q considerable extent, and every effort
should be made to have it as neat, at
%tractive, and convenient to handle as
possible. The square print neatly
wrapped shows at u glance its advan-
tages over the semiround print which is
exposed to flies, dust, and other con-
Eliminating things. Even II the semi

One thing that was sharply brought
home to Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune,
famous Negro teacher, and principal
of the Daytona school, was the lack
of proper attention for the sick.
There were hospitals for whites,
but none for Negroes" said Mrs.
Bethune to an interviewer; there
were nurses for the white people but
the Negroes could not afford them.
The white physicians were kind, but
felt that they could not intrude upon
the feelings of white patients by TAX
ing care of our sick. The thing to
do was to establish our own hospitals,
train our own nurses and educate our
own doctors. i knew that this meant
money and the nickels and dimes that
| could get from my own people would
not be enough. The only thing for
me to do was to beg of those whom
God had prospered, that the less for
tunate might be given a chance to live
and grow better. / went to Thomas
H. White and out of a generous heart
he gave. Andrew Carnegie responded
to a request for $1,000. Altogether
we raised $4,000, and with this we
built the only hospital for colored peo-
pie in the district. White physicians
cooperate with the Negro. Our nurses
do district work and carry the laws
of health and sanitation into the
homes of our people. The hospital
has come as a great oasis in a des.
ert, toward which the people in their
sickness and despair reach for health
and tenderness"
