Detroit, Aug. IA haired
youngster, nearly SO years ago, con-
ceived the idea of taking trip across
the Atlantic.
He didn't exactly have to go, but
he thought it would be fun, so he
asked a shipping man he knew If he
might work his way on one of his
boats.
The shipping man, interested in
the lad, went him one better and
loaned him the price Of his passage,
to be repaid later.
And thus George f. Buchanan got
his first taste Of travel.
As years passed Buchanan came
to Detroit and became a coal dealer.
Now, in his late fifties, he is indie
pendently wealthy.
Never Forgot It
But he has never forgotten the
value of that transatlantic trip he
took when boy.
So now he is helping other boys
to travel.

A bank in Monrovia. Ind, tests seed
corn for farmers. A basement room
was fitted out last season for the pur-
pose and $4,000 ears we're tested for
fifty-six farmers. One-fourth of the
seed tested last year was unfit for
seed. This year the percentage will
run even higher. The work is done
under the supervision of the high
school agricultural teacher. He reports
that the community will have a sur
plus of seed corn this year.

Cleanliness as practiced by the av-
erage housewife may be virtue, but
when it comes to putting head lettuce
in the refrigerator for future use, it
is a wise cook who will refrain from
washing the lettuce until ready to
use it Immediately. Head lettuce and
many other vegetables as we'll, as
commonly found on the market, are
highly contaminated with bacteria
from the soil. Washing head lettuce
any great length of time prior to US
ing gives these millions of microor-
ganisms the chance of a lifetime in
their race to devour the leaves before
the family has chance.
In number of rather extensive in
vestigations to determine the amount
of initial bacterial contamination &C.

Smokers are tending away from
cigars and toward the cigarette, ac-
cording to figures collected by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. This tendency for the demand
for cigar tobaccos to slacken and the
increased demand for cigarette type
began to be noticeable shortly before
the war. During the war the cigar
cite demand increased greatly and
has continued growing since the arm
istice. Producers of the crop are &C.
commodating themselves gradually
to the changing demand, but not quite
so rapidly as conditions justify. Stocks
of cigar tobacco have accumulated
and have been utilized to some extent
in the manufacture of other products.
The estimated acreage of cigar-type
tobacco for 1926 is $4,000, which is
10000 acres less than in 1923.

If farmers of the United States
plant this fall all the wheat they say
they have in mind to plant, an in
crease of 4,O94,OO0 acres, 81 per cent
over the acreage sown in the fall of
1924 may be expected. This fact was
brought to the fore by $4,000 farmers
on the average date of August 1, who
answered query put to them by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The area sown in the fall of
1924 was 42,317,OO0 acres.
Maryland farmers have in mind
seeding $4,000 acres more than were
seeded last fall, making Maryland's
acreage season of 1925-1926 about
$4,000 acres against $4,000 seeded
in the fall of 1924-an increase of a.
bout ID per cent. The 10-year aver
age (1916-25) of abandonment in
Maryland is SO per cent.
These intentions are not to be in
terpreted as forecast of the acreage
that will actually be planted; rather
as an indication of what the farmers
are thinking of doing. The intentions
may not be carried into effect.

curing on head lettuce and the chang
es produced by the conditions of hand
ling and storage, the Bureau of
Chemistry Of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture found that fresh lettuce
is decidedly cleaner, bacteriologically
speaking, toward the center of the
head, but the central part eventually
becomes as highly contaminated as
the outer leaves to the inner leaves
is fastened when the lettuce head is
washed, even though it is later placed
in the ice box. The bacterial spread
may be retarded by keeping the let
tuce head in it's original dry state and
in cold storage.
While these heterogeneous occur
ring in the soil and communicating the
field plants, except the few known pa
thogens, are generally considered to
be noninjurous to the consumer, very
few of them fail to thrive on the har-
vested plants where they produce, un-
der favorable conditions, Shiny, de-
caying material, wholly unfit for con-
sumption. To insure an edible and
nutritious product, care must be TAX
en- not only by the grower in supply
ing good quality but also by the vari-
Gus agencies handling the product on
it's way to the ultimate consumer.
1t is a common practice of the house
wife to wash a head of lettuce, either
in pan of water or under the faucet,
before she places it in the ice box.
Generally each leaf is removed and
washed separately, and then after
more or less vigorous shaking, placed
in a bag in the ice box.
This added moisture produces bet
ter conditions for bacterial growth.
Lettuce would keep longer and better
if allowed to become little drier, in
stead of being soaked in water, says
the department.
