MONEY IN GATHERING sUMAc.
Dept. Of Agriculture to Assist in Devel'
oping Industry.

Women and children on farms can
make good wages from June to Septem-
Der by gathering and curing sumac as q
side line, the United States department
of agriculture says. To assist in firmly
establishing the industry of gathering
this wild plant--a source Of tannin used
in tanning and dyeing-the department
is soon to publish in bulletin helpful
suggestions to gatherers and dealers. 1t
is believed that the possibilities of the
sumac industry have not been realized
and that wars interruption of Sclian
importations makes the present an OPP
perfume time to place the industry on
firmer footing The suTnac plant is chief
" abundant east of the Mississippi river
from Maine to central Georgia and Mis-
sissippi.
Domestic sumac as now prepared for
market contains less tannin and is much
inferior in color to the imported Sicilian
sumac. When properly gathered and
cured, domestic sumac leaf contains from
Rs to 80 per cent of tannin, practically
as much as the Sicilian variety. Gath
erers in this country in recent years have
received low price for sumac--from so
cents to sl.l0 per hundred pounds. Care
fully gathered and properly cured Sicil-
ian sumac leaf sells in this country at
from $3.50 to $500 hundred pounds.
Proper methods of gathering, curing
and handling sumac are explained in the
bulletin. The common domestic varieties
of sumac are described, so that they may
be readily recognized and data on the
comparative tannin content are given,
together with other practical informa,
tion on the subject

To Develop Disease Resistant Flax.

Field and laboratory studies of flax are
being conducted by the United States de-
partment of agriculture to determine the
cause of flax canker and to establish its
relation to flax wilt Several organisms
which are parasitic on fax and which
cause fax wilt have been isolated. One
species has been found to produce dis
ease somewhat similar to fax wilt but
which kills the wilt-resistant as readily
as it does the more susceptible varieties
As result of this discovery more work
on disease-resistant varities Of flax has
been undertaken, together with other
measures for disease control Flax wilt
is the most serious disease of this crop.
Not infrequently an entire fax field will
show so much wilt as to be practically a
total loss TO the grower

Campaign to Increase Leather Supply.
To relieve as much as possible the I'M
precedented demand for leather, the
United States department of agriculture
is urging that slaughtered and dead ami
mails on the farm be skinned with great
care, Usually the skinning OF animals on
the farm and the care of hides is not
given great amount of consideration
and through carelessness many hides are
cut and scored when they are removed. By
devoting a little extra time and care in
skinning animals to make sure that they
are not cut or scored, the farmer can in
crease their value on the market several
times In tanning hides scores show very
plainly, and in many cases one-half of
the thickness of the leather is lost by
such defects.
