Spoilage Of Vegetables
and Fruits Preventahle

Spoilage of canned vegetables and
fruits may result because they were
not washed clean before they were
canned. The soil contains bacteria
which causes spoilage. Therefore, get
rid of the soil. Wash vegetables, as
beans and asparagus, thoroughly be-
fore cutting, and peas before podding.
Berries should be washed before and
after they are hulled. If they are
washed in a strainer, the water may
be run over them until it is clear as
it comes through the strainer. A veg
etable brush comes in handy for clean
ing some vegetables.
A good slogan to follow in canning
all vegetables is 1.-TWO hours from
garden to can" They should not lay
overnight or for half day or more,
but rather should be handled while
crisp and fresh. 1t is far better to
pick beans, peas, sweet corn and other
vegetables in the early morning and
can them right away than to pick
them the evening before while they
are in dry, wilted, and hot condition.
Flat sour will start by morning in
these vegetables that are allowed to
lie, over night before canned.-Nebras-
ka College of Agriculture.

Car Makers Are Turning
Out Better Mechanics

Many of the motor car makers who
are turning out better automobiles
than ever before have undertaken to
produce better mechanics to service
their products. The trend is one that
really means much to the motorist.
When an owner puts his car into
the shop for service, labor always is
one of the large items in the expense.
The mechanic who is specialist on
any given car-care feature will turn
out not only better job, but a much
quicker one, and the time item in the
bill thus will be less costly.
The service schools being conducted
quite generally among the leaders of
the industry are the fruition of pro-
gram that has been followed some
what Enthusiastically for years. Com
petition has taken it out of the ex-
detrimental stage

Alfalfa Stands
Die Out Early
Bacterial Wilt Disease Is
Cause of Trouble in
Most Districts.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Many alfalfa growers have COM
planned to the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture during the past
three years that their stands of alfalfa
now die out In three, four or five
years where they once lived much
longer. These complaints have come
from many places, especially from the
central and southern Mississippi val
ley, and also from some irrigated dis
tricts.
Bacterial Disease.
1t is not always possible to name
the specific cause Of alfalfa dying out;
in fact, there is often more than one
cause operating. But as result of
the attention which these complaints
have focused upon the alfalfa crop,
one fact has become clearly apparent.
There is in the United States a bac-
terial wilt disease Of alfalfa which
was not previously recognized. This
disease, according to Fred X. Jones,
pathologist of the department, is re-
sponsible for a great deal of the
trouble that growers have experienced.
Moreover, it appears that bacterial
wilt, which now occurs in at least
few fields in practically every alfalfa
growing district of the United States.
may easily become more thoroughly
disseminated than at present and thus
in some districts develop into the most
serious disease with which alfalfa Gull
ture must contend.
Organism Causing Disease.
The organism causing the disease
enters the plant through wounds and
passes downward through the taproot
and upward through the stems. At
length the entire plant may wilt sud-
denly on hot day. Later in the sum-
mer some of the affected roots pro-
duce short, pale-colored, spindliny
shoots with small, narrow leaves.
When the taproot of such a plant is
cut across, the woody portion of the
root is found yellow and discolored
close beneath the bark. When the
bark is stripped back the wood is
found yellow or b->lwn, altogether un-
like the white wood of healthy plants.
This discolored wood distinguishes the
disease from winter injury and other
troubles.
The bacterial wilt disease is now
being studied by the department and
state experiment stations to determine
its distribution, how it is carried from
field to field, when and through what
kinds of wounds it most frequently
enters the plants. and whether there
is varietal resistance to the disease

INSURE LONGER
LIFE FOR AUTO
Give Car Systematic Lubri-
cation and Keep in First
Class Condition.

'Every car that comes from an au-
tomobile factory is built to deliver GER
tain mileage to its owner, and it Is
up to the owner to get this mileage
through proper service and upkeep,"
says bulletin issued by the mechan-
ical first-aid department of the Chi
cago Motor club. "Give the car syS-
tematic fabrication, periodic inspec-
lions and overhaulings. at which time
worn parts can be economically re-
placed to insure longer life and serv-
ice. Only in this way can you get
from your car the mileage it was built
to deliver.
Keeping In Condition.
slow long would we live If we
didn't give ourselves a certain amount
of exercise-if we didn't eat the
things that give proper nutrition
If we didn't occasionally counsel
with the doctor and the dentist?
And just as we insure longer life
for ourselves by doing these things,
so do we insure longer life and
service for our car by keeping it in
frst-class condition. There is prob.
ably no other fine piece of mechanism
which has so little attention and care
paid to 1t as the average man gives
to his automobile. Take any of our
fast through trains. for instance.
They run on smooth rails, with a crew
trained to give them proper care, and
yet many times along the route the
engine is taken off and run into the
roundhouse for thorough going over
and fresh engine. just overhauled
replaces it. How many motor car
drivers have the forethought to even
occasionally drive their automobiles
to a garage and have it checked?
Timely attention given to minor de-
fects would add years to the life of
the car.
Where Fault Lies.
"The fault" continues the bulletin,
lies in the American system of liv-
ing-the hurry and hustle. We have
no leisure for anything-we run our
cars until they break down instead
Of giving them proper care. A car
that is given care and attention, and
kept in good running order, will de-
liver the mileage and give the service
for which the manufacturer intend
ed it."

Famous Painter Put
Heart Into His Work

In many respects the career of
Titan, the Venetian artist, is without
parallel in the history of art. The
span of his productive life is unprec-
edented. He lived to be ninety-nine
years old and painted steadily for
nearly seventy-five years. This noted
painter apparently believed that no
amount of inspiration or intuitive
genius Is substitute for painstaking
labor. A contemporary wrote of him:
"He laid in his pictures with a
mass of colOrs which served him as
groundwork for what he wanted
to express. / myself have seen such
powerful strokes swept In by him
with solid pigment, sometimes with
pure terra rossa' Cred ocher)-and
this served him for the half-tones-
sometimes with brush full of white
lead; and with the same brush dip
ped in red, black or yellow he picked
out the lights. In four strokes he
had sketched In a remarkably beauti-
full figure. Then he laid the picture
againSt the wall, and left it there,
often for several months, without
looking at it again, and when he
wanted to work at it he examined
it very critically as if it were his
mortal enemy, in order to discover
any possible faults. Then he took
away a prominence here, set an arm
straight there, and got foot into the
right position. SO by degrees he
brought his figures to the most perfect
symmetry, and then he proceeded to
do the same with the next picture"

Speedometer Very Poor
Gas Mileage Indicator

The speedometer is very valuable
piece of equipment, but never depend
upon its reading to tell when the gas
oline supply needs replenishing. Mile
age is not the only indication of gas
consumption. All the "miles" the en-
CINE idles are never recorded, nor the
leaks in the carburetor or gas line.
Also there is evaporation to be con-
sidered. Do not trust even the gas
tank gauge when it is necessary to
find out about the gas supply. See
that it is working properly into the
tank through the filler pipe when pos
sible.
