Soil Legumes
Have Three Uses

The nse Of legunes possesses a
three-fold value in the Improvement
of soils, first, in absorbing and de
failing the soluble food in the soil;
second, in providing vegetable mat.
ter, or humus-forming material,
which contributes to the physical
improvement of soils; and third, by
adding to the store of nitrogen in
the soil, which element is most like
ly to be deficient, and which can be
used by plants whose source of nit
rogen is the soil.

APPLE ICE CREAM is LATEST
Synthetic Oil Has Been Prepared by
Department OF Agriculture
for Flavorino.

A synthetic apple oil that possesses
the aroma of ripe apples has been pre-
pared by the bureau of chemistry OF
the United States Department OF Agrl-
culture. and a public service patent
has been granted for the process.
This preparation has the merit OF
having no substance in IL that does
not occur naturally in the apple. In
this il differs from other aFtifieially
prepared navors labeled to indicate
their resemblance tn odor to certain
fruits but whose components do not
occur In the fruits they are supposed
70 represent. The water and bever-
age laboratory of the bureau has pre-
pared a most palatable earbonated
beverage with the apple oil as its base.
The oil, being volatile. may not be
used in the preparation of food prod
ucts In which heat Is a necessary fac
tor. but is especially suitable for flavor
Ing cold drinks and Ice cream.
