COMMITTEES
Mrs. Getman had the first topic on
the program. She gave US great
many helpful ideas on the buying
and laundering of table clothes. She
said to buy the very best you could
afford, the unbleadhed were better
than the bleached. at the same price.
If you use the colored ones, select a
pattern that has mostly dark colors
for the light colors or white parts
show the dirt and stains as bad as
all white.
How to Make a Sanitary Well"
Mr.. Willoughby thinks a drove we'll
would be the most sanitary as the
surface water and other things could
not get in and it should be freely
used from or the pipe will corrode,

with casing down to the rocks would
be sanitary we'll.
what is the best variety of Pora-
toes to Plant for the Table and for
Market " Mr.. Carson said he did
not know of any kind of potato that
would be best for both table and
market. He thinks the early pota-
toes are the most palatable, but for
market would plant the kind that
produces the most bushel per acre.
Are Carrots a Valuable Food for
Horses?" Mr. Henderson hadn't
had any experience feeding them,
but thought they were a good feed.

the barn. Mr.. Love told OF a lum.
