 The velvet bean is of tropical ori- gin and makes it's best growth in the real hot weather of July, August and September. It grows very slowly in cool weather. The cold, rainy weather which was general through out the entire state in the spring of 1919 was particularly disastrous to velvet beans planted early.
 The speckled velvet bean which is the common variety grown, is said to mature seed in the general cotton belt and southward in 120 days. Though the time between the last killing frost in spring and the first killing frost in fal laverages not less than ITO days in any part of the Ozark region, the velvet bean plant will not mature as a rule because the average period of tropical weather is not long enough.
 In 1919 the experiment station conducted maturity tests of Is varie- ties and strains of velvet beans. Seed was planted May 15 and the first killing frost did not occur until

SPECIALISTS ADVISE ON
 BOTULINUS POISONING

A number of cases of fatal poison ing due to botulinus toxin have been reported to J. w. Read, chemist, and w. l.. Bleecker, bacteriologist of the Arkansas experiment station, du- ring the past few months. This toxin is, many times, more poisonous than strychnine and is very difficult to detect chemically. Its outward evidence is the putrid odor of the spoiled goods. Spoiled ripe olives served in restaurants have been re sponsible for the recent fatalities, but the botulinus organism appears to be very widely distributed in both animal and plant canned goods. All brands are susceptible to spoilage, and there is only one safe course to take with spoiled goods-throw it away. Never eat it. The sealed can is the ideal place for the spores of the botulinus organism to develop. It has been found that the hot pack method of canning does not always eliminate the spores giving rise to the growth in the sealed containers which produces the deadly toxin. Never eat spoiled goods. Any of odor is danger signal.
