Inoculate Sweet Clover
When Sowing First Time

If sweet clover is being sown on
land for the first time, it is necessary
to inoculate the seed. Seed may be
sown with oats in the spring, or In
February. Either plan is successful.
Amounts of seed varying from six
pounds TO sixteen pounds have been
recommended, but most people sow
from eight to twelve pounds. Sweet
clover is not harder to establish than
red clover, provided there is plenty of
carbonate of lime in the soil. 1t will
not grow on an acid soil. The plant
ranks high as a pasture. and the hay
from the first cutting. when the plants
are not too woody, is approximately
equal to alfalfa hay In feeding value.

Valuable Mineral SoIts

Cooking does not destroy the valua-
BILE mineral salts found In many fresh
vegetables. Some of them, however,
are dissolved in the liquid in which
vegetables are cooked. and it is there
fore important that this pot liquor be
served. Mild-favored vegetables may
be steamed, boiled in very little wa
ter, or cooked a short time in milk
so that the amount of liquid to serve
with the vegetable Is small. The
larger amount of water from the cook
ing Of the strong-fiavored vegetables
may be saved for soup or used in

the possibility Of having late variety
substituted for an early one, thereby
delaying the market maturity of the
crop beyond the normal marketing pc
riod. In the absence of effective leg
islative measures for the control of
the abuses mentioned, the only protec-
ton afforded the purchasers of small
quantities Of seed potatoes is to buy
certified seed potatoes whenever they
are available.
A more wholesome respect on the
part of retail seed potato dealers for
the correct naming of varieties is
highly desirable and can only be
brought about through an insistent de-
mand on the part of the purchasing
public for the handling of only stand

the Observation-Disclosures problem.
A survey begun in 1925 and continued
during the last fiscal year covered the

with tuberculosis. These inspections
were made in the course of the routine

Incorrect Naming of Varie-
ties Too Frequent to
Be Accidental.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
As result Of several years tests
by the United States Department of
Agriculture of the seed potato offer
ings of considerable number of firms,
IL has been found that the incorrect
naming of potato varieties is far too
frequent to be entirely accidental.
Out of 80 lots of named varieties
purchased from As seedsmen In 1925,
20 were found to be incorrectly named.
The most fragrant example of misnam-
Ing, or the substitution of one variety
for another, was that of a firm from
whom three named varieties were or
dered. When the three lots were re-
ceived 1t was found that the Spaul-
ding Rose or Rose No. 4 had been
substituted for all three varieties. In
other words, the scotsman had filed
the order out of a seed bin containing
a variety not called for in the order.
Few Correctly Named.
Although a considerable number Of
varieties were ordered In 1926 only 26
lots were actually received. OF this
number only five proved to be Of the
variety specified in the order. Wheth-
er the smaller number of orders filed
was due to a desire on the part Of
seedsmen to avoid having their offer
ings studied by department officials.

Effective Treatment.

The illustration, taken by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
shows an effective treatment much
Ike those suggested. The material Is
theatrical gauze and the bands a
striped cretonne. Additional dignity
is given by having rod in the hens
Of the valance at top and bottom.
Instead of using bands the valance
alone may be cretonne and If the glass
curtains are ruffled tie-backs the tie
backs should also be cretonne. In the
bedroom one of the newest ideas Is
TO hang voile or marquisette panel
with a ruffle at the bottom over the
glass. Then at each side arrange ruff
fed tie-backs Of the same material
just as though they were heavy over
draperies. One charming treatment Of
this kind was in the home of young
bride. The curtain across the glass
was a soft delectable pink and the
voile curtains at each side were
printed with little pink nosegays and
ruffied in plain pink.

valance of the same material also
hemmed with blue. A more preten-

silk gauZe with ruff1es of taffeta in
contrasting color. 1t must be remem-
bered that curtains of that type must
be dry cleaned. One of the secrets OF
attractive windows without oyerdra-
peries is TO have the curtains full

 Memorial Day Plans The members Of the general Memorial Day committee are getting things into shape for the exercises in East Berlin on Monday afternoon May 30. It is the intention of the committee to hold the exercises in the open if the weather permits, around the monument and the flag pole. The committee has arranged to detour all motor traffic through Wilcox avenue during the exercises and the parade.
 It has been planned to have the parade form at Community Hall i; with Arthur Benson as marshal and to move through the principal streets to Wilcox cemetery, where the children will assist in the dec oration of graves. All societies and organizations have been invited to join the parade.
 While the speaker has not been announced by the committee in charge of that part Of the pro- gram, 1t is thought that a promi- nent parsonage in state history will take the stand. The addresses of the day will be delivered in the vacant lot opposite the monument. The American band of New Britain has been engaged to lead the pro- cession during the parade.
