Alfalfa, Clover
Slow to terminate

Hard alfalfa and sweet clover
seeds are sound, but slow to germ
mate, according to Prot. o. A. Stew
ems, seed analyst, North Dakota Ag-
ricultural college. At the emo of a
five-day termination test they re-
main hard and dry. This condition
is rather temporary in alfalfa and
samples showing a high per cent hard
in the fall and winter, terminate
much better toward spring. Such
seed may be expected to grow better
in the soil, hence scarification is not
advisable as a rule.
Sweet clover changes much more
slowly and termination of the hard
seed cannot be expected in the soil
except after some time and especially
if subjected to frost. Scarified seed
is recommended by Mr.. Stevens when
quick termination is wanted. I'm
hulled seeds usually r hard so that
a termination test on such seed. is
hardly worth while.

URGE COOKING OF
CANNED VEGETABLES
Heating Vigorously for 10 to 20
Minutes Recommended
by Food Experts /.

Even though canned vegetables or
meat may have no Objectionable odor
or appearance, It still is a wise pre-
caution to cook the food vigorously for
10 to 20 minutes before 1t Is eaten.
The cooking destroys the poisonous
properties Of the botulinus organism
which is so fatal. Canned goods show
Ing any signs Of spoilage should never
be used as food.
Botulism apparently occurs only in
meats and non-acid vegetables such
as corn, peas, beans, and asparagus.
Tomatoes, for example, are Of the acid
type and do not harbor the botulinus
infection. Fruits also are safe from
this danger. All meats are subject to
botulinus poisoning, and the impor-
lance Of thorough cooking before use
(the equivalent Of 10 minutes boil
ing) cannot be too strongly empha-
sized, say home economics specialists
Of the agricultural college.
Canned vegetables to be used in
salads should be cooked upon removal
from the can, then cooled and used
Immediately.

Five minutes later Villalba was
