VanDyke, Minneapolis, Minn., newly elected commander of the Minnesota Department of the American Legion, Is ac- credited, among other things, with having found Jobs 1,800 men. The new commander has a remarkable record as a soldier, citizen and legion- naire. When the American Legion came Into being, Dr. VanDyke Immediately became an active member. He was the first vice commander of St Paul Post No. 8, which at the time was the largest post In the United States. He has served as chairman of the Ramsey county welfare committee and was a member of the legislative committee instrumental In getting the soldiers' bonus bill before the legislature. Doctor VanDyke was born In Alexandria, Minn., and was graduated In 1903 from the University of Chicago School of Medicine. He later completed a course In dentistry at University of Minnesota. During the war he enlisted in the Signal corps and because of previous training In artillery was sent to the M. O. It. S. camp In New Jersey as instructor.

Certificate as Evidence. The Idea of official Inspection Is to provide a reliable, disinterested report us a basis for settling disputes regarding quantity, quality, grade or condition. No matter who asks for It or who pays the bill, whether producer, dealer or railway, the other party may have a copy of the report, if the shipper and dealer can not agree, or If there Is a damage claim against a transportation company which results in a suit, the certificate Is prima facie evidence in the federal courts on the points which It covers.

Was the cause a disease which may develop also In the rest of the crop? Since the establishment of the federal Inspection service three years ago by the bureau of markets and crop estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture, the answer Is comparatively simple. "Telegraph to the federal Inspector In the nearest large city, asking him to report on the shipment." He Is a trained man, with considerable experience In bundling produce, a competent and certified Judge of grades and condition. The Inspector's verdict Is commonly accepted by dealers and shippers and by courts, mllways nnd express companies. With the shipment officially Inspected, ell pnrtles concerned have learned all thnt It Is practicable to FEEDING TESTS WITH FOWLS For the first. It Is well to opply at least 200 pounds of finely sifted inoculated soil per acre. This can be done with the fertilizer attachment of the drill, or broadcasting by hand. Broadcasting will require a larger quantity and should be done In the early morulng. late evening or on a cloudy day to avoid undue exposure to the sun's rays. The field should be Immediately harrowed after broadcasting. An easier method of field soil Inoculation which has met with success where only a small amount of Inoculated soli Is available Is to coat the seed with Inoculated soli by means of ordinary furniture glue. Dissolve two handfuls of glue for every gallon of boiling water and allow the solution to cool. Put the seed In a wnshtub and then sprinkle enough of the solution on it to moisten, but not to wet It (one quart per bushel Is sufficient), nnd stir the mixture thoroughly until all the seed Is moistened. Ohtnln Inoculated soli from a phice where the same kind of plants as the seed nre growing, making sure that the roots have a vigorous development of nodules. Dry the soli In the shade and pulverise It. Scatter this dust over the moistened seed, ustng from two to four quarts of dirt for each bushel of seed, mixing thoroughly until the seeds no longer stick together. Liquid pure cultures are prepared by the Department of Agriculture and ore mailed In limited quantities on application, not more than enough for one bushel of one kind of seed to any person.
