ADVISED TO

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Grading OF cream, as the first step
in the Standardization of the dairy in
dustry, is being urged by the United
States Department of Agriculture. Nu-
merOus farmers and dairymen are al
ready developing grading methods the
department reports.
There is great need for improve
ment in the quality of cream if con-
sumner demands for high-grade prod
>uct are to be met" says Roy G. Potts,
in charge of the departments division
of dairy and poultry products "Argu-
ment should not be required to con-
vince the farmer that his cream should
be marketed on graded basis. 1t is
wrong to pay the same price for low
quality cream as for high quality. 1t
is unjust to the producer of No. l
cream to get no more for good quail
ity, and the production of the better
quality is discouraged. The practice
of paying a flat price for all qualities
offers no inducement for improvement,
and places premium on poor quality
or penalties good quality.
"In every field of marketing, prog
ress is being made through the prac-
tice OF Standardization. Those who are
taking the lead in the move to stand
ardize dairy products are to be COM
mended for their good work The
markets for manufactured dairy prod
ucts. especially butter, have always
placed Higher value on the product
Of high quality. Similar rewards will
come from improvement in the quality
of cream. The entire dairy industry
is urged 20 get back of the movement.

Grape.Nuts is\ highly nutritious
food in the form Of crisp, golden sran-
ules. Il contains the full nutriment of
wheat and barley, including vitamin.B
and mineral elements required for
building sturdy health. These ele.
ments are often lacking in the ordinary
diet, chiefly through 'over.re6nement"
in the preparation of food.
No other food is so thoroughly baked
as Grape-Nuts. More than 20 hours
are consumed in the baking process
which makes Grape-Nuts easy TO
digest, and also develops a natural
sweetness from the grains themselves.
The form and crispness of Grape
Nuts invite thorough mastication
decided advantage because this not
only provides proper exercise for the
teeth, but makes for good digestion.

Cucumbers frequently are made un-

a result of a disease known as bac-
terial spot, or angular leaf-spot. Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
Circular 234. Bacterial Spot of Gu
cumber. by Il. G. Meier and George X.
X. Link, discusses the disease, de-
scrlbing briefly its various forms, the
ways by which it is transmitted, and
the method of control.
Bacterial spot appears on the fruits
as round. water-soaked, translucent
spots that do not reach far beneath
the surface. Organisms of decay. how
ever. may gain access through these
LESSONS and destroy the entire fruit.
Usually the disease makes its first ap-
pearance In a field on the cotyledOns
or seed leaves. and the bacteria
spread from these to the leaves. where
they cause Irregularly angular. water
soaked spots. Within a few days the
spots become ash gray and the centers
usually drop out.
Seeds Carry infection.
The seeds carry the infection, which
accounts for the wide distribution, but
which also makes control measures
comparatively easy. At present the
disease occurs in Europe. Canada, ami
in the following states in this coun-
try: Alabama. California, Connecti-
cut, Florida. Georgia. Illinois. Indiana,
Iowa. Louisiana. Michigan. Minnesota,
New York. North Dakota. Ohio. South
Carolina, Virginia. and Wisconsin.
TO avoid loss, affected fruits should
be disposed Of quickly. as various or
ganisms Of decay are likely TO enter
through the wounds. II packed dry
and kept cool. the Development OF bac-
teral spot may be retarded. Good
ventilation during transit Is important.
Plan to Reduce Loss.
Seed dislnfection combined with
crop rotation Is the most satisfactory
method of reducing loss. Spraying
alone is not recommended for the con
troll Of this disease. but 4-4-50 bor-
deaux thoroughly applied Is an effec-
tive check Seed treatment consists
Of immerslng the seed In a l to 1000
Observation-Disclosures solution. which may
he made from the standard tablets
sold by druggists The solution must
be made In glass, earthenware. or
wooden receptacle Great care should
be exercised, as il Is very poisonous
when taken internally. Plants grown
from treated seed on soil new to the
crop are likely TO be free from the dis
ease unless infection occurs from dis
sased fields nearby.
