FEDERAL AND STATE
CAME LAWS
Shooting Must Be Confined to Time
During Which 1t Is Not Prohibited
by Either Set Of Regulations

In making their plans to shoot MI
gratory waterfowl, hunters will do
well to note the dates of open seasons
under both federal and state laws, ac-
cording to the United States depart
ment of agriculture. There is confu-
sion In the minds of some spOrtsmen In
regard to the opening of the season
when the dates conflict under state
and federal laws.
The federal law and regulations limit
the seasons before and after which no
one may shoot these birds. If state
law opens the season later or closes
1t earlier than the dates prescribed by
the federal regulations, the season in
that state is just SO much further
shortened. Special attention is called
to the fact that the federal regulations
do not authorize anyone to hunt or kill
migratory birds contrary to the state
law.
In certain states. as for example,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
fucky, Missouri and South Dakota, the
season for shooting migratory water
fowl under the state law would open
prior to the date of opening under the
federal regulations were it not for the
fact that the federal regulations super
sede state laws in such case of CON
fiict and prescribe for these states
September Is as the beginning of the
open season.

SeaWeed Discovered by
Japanese as Substitute
for C0ttOn-AlS0 a Food

Something has been heard lately of
the value of seaweed for food. 1t can
also be used, we now learn, says a
writer in the Manchester Guardian, as
a substitute for cotton. An account of
this new textile was given recently by
X. Hamada, vice president of the Japa-
nese house of representatives, at a
meeting of the Japanese Federation OF
Marine Industrial associations.
The raw material may be obtained
from two kinds of seaweed, called in
japanese segumO and gomoguma.
These are boiled together in water
with wood ashes, and then In water
mixed with rice bran. After bleach
ing, fibers are extracted which can be
utilized for manufacturing purposes.
The announcement of this discovery
has awakened no little interest on the
Pacific coast of America, where the
supply of seaweed is almost inexhaust-
ible. 1t is along that coast, too, that
some of the investigations were car
ried out a few years ago by Japanese
scientists, whose explanation that their
visit had as it's object the study of
seaweed was received with considera.

Bungalow in India Usually
One-Storied House Having a
Veranda, Projecting Roof.

For the small home no type of build
ing makes wider appeal than the
bungalow. The word has been wide
ly used to describe the productions of
the "home builder and the real estate
OPERATOR" buildings SO APPALLING that
we are apt to forget that the bunga-
low is properly very unusual and in
teresting type of structure and one
peculiarly illustrative of the close re-
latiOn between climate and architec-
ture. writes Austin ID. Jenkins, in the
House Beautiful.
Bungalow Is the Hindustani word
for house, AngliciZed TO indicate the
typical European dwelling in India, us
ually one-stOried house with veran-
da and projecting roof. The chief pur-
pose of the Indian dwelling is to keep
out the heat and the tropical rains.
The typical native bungalow and its
English derivative are in arrangement
much alike. The walls are Of heavy
masonry. Both doors and windows are
very large, and open on to verandas
which keep out the direct rays of the
sun and protect the inner rooms from
the glare of tropical midday. The
rooms are arranged in suites, and ev-
cry possible cross draft is made the
most of. Sometimes the ROOF is of tile,
but more frequently of maize thatch,
woven on a bamboo frame, and OF
great thickness. The ewes project far
beyond the wall line.

Ornamental Lamp-Posts
AGd to Attractiveness
of the Up-to-Date City

There is no feature of municipal
equipment that adds more TO the at
Effectiveness of a city's appearance
than do ornamental street lamp-posts
of artistic and appropriate design. Just
as the effectiveness or interior decora-
tons and furnishings depend in a large
measure upon lighting fixtures, so the
beauty of the street can be enhanced
or marred b It's lights. In each case
satisfactory solution of the lighting
problem consists not only in supplying
sufficient illumination but also in pro-
viding lighting equipment that harmon
ICES with its surroundings and pos
sesses a beauty of its own. The old
time lamp-post in vogue before the
days of electricity, writes Thomas J.
Davis, in the House Beautiful. fulfilled
the second of these conditions, but not
the first; for, although the post itself
was often q work of art, its feeble oil
or gas flame seldom was equal TO the
task of illuminating the street. On
the other hand, the modern overhead
arc lamp gives fairly satisfactory
light. but the unsightly poles. ropes,
wires and other equipment can scarce
ly be called beautiful. Now comes the
ornamental street lamp-post, which
combines the beauty of one of its pre-
decessors and the utility of the other.

Seed From Which Plant on Left Sprang
Up Was inocuIated-No Treatment
Was Given Puny Plant on Right

for example, in many Southern local.
tiles artificial incubation for cow
peas is unnecessary and in sections OF
the middle West bacteria which thrive
on the roots of clover and alfalfa are
already present.
Artificial incubation can be accom-
plished by spreading soil from a we'll
established field, where the particular
legume which is TO be grown has been
successful, upon the new land to be
planted with that legume, and also by
the use of pure cultures of the prop
err bacteria. The United States de-
partment of agriculture is prepared TO
supply enough of the pure culture to
inOculate one bushel of seed, and this
culture can be obtained in bottles
which contain complete directions for
use. Application blanks for these cul-
lures may be obtained from the depart
ment at Washington, ID. c. Pure cul-
ture can also be obtained, either free
or at small cost, from the various ex-
pertinent stations.
Too much attention cannot be given
TO the preparation of the field for legu-
minous crops. In well-prepared seed
bed the young plants get the best start
and the necessary bacteria will thrive.
Sour soils hinder and often entirely
prevent the development of the bene-
fetal soil organisms. To remedy this
condition an application of lime is nee
essary. Any kind of lime may be used
to advantage, but usually finely ground
limestone is applied.
When field is known to contain the
bacteria suitable for a certain legume
crop-for example, alfalfa-shown by
the presence of numerous nodules upon
the roots of alfalfa plants growing
there. the soil is desirable for the in
oculation of other fields upon which
alfalfa Is to be sown for the first time
Such soil, we'll sifted. can readily be
applied to the new field through the
fertilizer attachment on a drill. Two
hundred pounds or more Of sifted field
soil will be sufficient for an acre and
is best applied through the hoes.
Broadcasting the soil by hand will re-
quire q larger quantity and is best
done i'm the early morning late eve
ming, or on cloudy days. as the suns
rays are injurious TO the bacteria in
the thin layer of inoculated soil thus
exposed TO it. The field should be
Immediately narrowed after broadcast
ing the soil. Transferring field soil
from any considerable distance is ex-
pensive and subject to the danger OF
introducing troublesome weeds. insects
and plant diseases.

Sweden. located rs it is in the pre-
carious position between the two fight

hard TO obtain its necessities from
either of the fighting nations. In
times of peace, Sweden has always de-
pended upon imported wheat and 9TH
er foodstuffs from the East, as well
rs from the West. With those imports
in many cases completely stopped,
Sweden has sought inside of its own
domain for new materials. Being n
country which is well wooded, 1t Is
natural that Swedish chemists should
turn to the forests in search of n sub
stitute. This search has proven sue
