before the United States Senate Com
mittee the operations OF the Bureau
received considerable attention.
In connection with the operation OF
OF the Bureau the Commissioner would
call attention Of the farmers to the
fact that at the mari plant operated
in connection with the Department Of
Agriculture there is now a consider
able accumulated supply which can be
delivered quickly. AS the mari is OF
such a nature that it can be used at
any time even during the growing
season the Bureau would recommend
the placing Of orders for mari at once,
before the plant is shut down for in
stallment Of additional machinery for
the summer and fall seasons.
During the week the Bureau has re-
ceived numerous inquiries from pa
irons as to whether or not the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture was continuing to
furnish incubation for all legumes at
40 cents per acre delivered. The an
nouncement Is therefore made that in
oculation for all leguminous crops Is
furnished by the Department at 40
cents an acre the same as last year
and there is an abundant supply of
fresh and vigorous cultures on hand
now.
