A few weeks ago, l had the
pleasure of attending what seemed
to me an unusually enjoyable so.
cial function in the form of a pro-
gressive luncheon. l had several
times attended progressive meals
where one course was served al
one house and the next course at
another house and SO on till all the
courses were completed, but this
luncheon was in a country home
where the distances are too far 10
admit of that way of doing. So
this was progressive from table TO
table. Ii was, given in honor of q
charming young bride and none Of
the guests, not even the guest OF
honor, knew about the progressive
part until the end of the first course
and This surprise part added to the
enjoyableness. There were six tab
les and six courses. AT the first
table were seated the bride, her
mother, and a dear friend of the
bride, and the hostess arranged that
they three should not move as the
others did, but should remain at the
one table through the entire meal
and the others should come to them
and pass on. In order 10 determine
who should move from each table,
various pleasing schemes were used.
AS this was near Easter, the ideas
were in keeping with that but any
idea, moi TOO elaborate, and thai
could be quickly done, could be
used. The first one this time was
different colored small candy East
ear eggs, each wrapped in tissue
paper, the two of same color at each
table deciding the two who pro-
crossed.
Another pleasing one was game
of birds easily managed at any
time using different subjects for the
descriptions rhymes whose answers
IN THIS instance were names O1
birds, the two who first guessed
their answers, moving on. The
menu was not elaborate but every
thing was very nice. There was 4
fruit course, made of combination
of grape fruit pulp, orange, bana-
ma, pineapple and few cherries
for color. This was served in Il
half orange shell which was cut in
to points on top. Then there was Il
tomato soup course and one of cold
tongue and escalloped potatoes and
relishes and brown bread and white
bread. Next came a shrimp salad
with waters and then came ice

cream and cakes. The ice cream
was served in way had not seen
before. Nabiscos were made into a
four sided box form by dipping the
edges of the ends into boiled frost,
ing, thus fastening them togethcr.
The hostess said that this was quite
bit of work to make them all
keep in place, but the result was
certainly gratifying. Coffee was
served with the ice cream course.
For a final course there was after
dinner minis. For the progressing
between the last two courses, the
hostess asked for those who had not
moved at all during the luncheon
and as many of them as possible
were put al the brides table. The
favors for this affair were the very
popular crocheted carnations, those
put on corks so they may be useI
for scissors protectors. They were
made of pink shaded sansilk.
j think the planning for this az
fair, SO that all the details of dishes
and silver and everything must have
been quite a task, but il was carried
ont well so that il all went off very
smoothly. Try a similar way of en-
pertaining some time when you
want something different and very
enjoyable.

DON'T SPRAY WHEN
TREES ARE IN BLOOM

AS the season for fruit bloom is
at hand, a word of caution should
be spoken in regard to spraying
operations. In spite of the fact
that all spray calendars give very
explicit directions for this work, il
is often that some spraying is done
while trees are in bloom. No spray
material whatever should be APP
piled at this time. 1t is not only in
furious TO the vital part of the
flower, but means death to any
bees or other insects which may
visit the blossoms of trees SPRAYED
at this time. 1t is usually well I'M
derstood how necessary bees are
for pollinaiing purpose, and the
proper development of fruit, and to
destroy them in this maner works
hardship not only to the bee-keep-
ers but to the orchardisls as well.
Fruit growers and apiarists will
do well to get together on this
question as it is one of great inn
portance to both. 1t is a matter of
common knowledge that the pollen
is carried from flowers and buds
by the air currents, but the wind is
rather erratic at times in its duty
and many orchardisls have discov-
cred that in spite of The most fav-
orable conditions, good crop has
been lost by improper pollination.
If you are neighbor to a man who
has bees, you are happily situated
indeed. Many apiaristS move a few,
hives and sometimes maintain an
out yard Of bees the year around
in the orchard and these growers
never have the uncertain fruit crop
as do others who have not the ben
eft of the bees. a honey bee is
gone from the hive sometimes as
long as an hour and in that time
visits the nectar cups Of dozens of
flowers and fruit blossoms. The
pollen being fine powdcry sub
stance, clings TO the legs of the bee
and in the search for nectar, pollen
from different blossoms is carried,
providing the means Of incubation.
FloriculturislS often experience
considerable difficulty in keeping
pedigreed flowers free from the
pollen Of other flowers, due to the
visits of the honey bee. This is
easily overcome by placing hood
of cheese cloth or wire gauze over
the flower.
But to get back to the subject
of spraying, do not spray your
trees while in bloom. Nothing is
accomplished by spraying at this
time. Wait until the petals have
fallen, then the work can be done
with safety to all interests, and
good results will follow.

BEWARE OF THE SHARPER

In these busy spring days one
Of the hardest things the farmer is
called upon to do il to side-sIcp
the many sharpers who are trying
to separate him from his money.
If there is anything in the way
of new equipment, investments, etc.
look to home enterprise and indus
tries. Clio merchants are on the
job So weeks in the year and any
thing you require they can furnish.
A few days ago we overheard

kind and they didn't have them"

We are building hundreds of
miles of state road in Michigan, for
the benefit of all Of the people of
the state. While these state roads
are of special value TO the farmer
in the handling of his crops, they
are also Of great value to the many
who own and drive automobiles.
These roads must be maintained,
and this should rest upon the
shoulders of those who use and
wear them out the most. 1t has
been proven beyond any question
that the larger the machine, the
heavier the load taken over the
road, the greater the wear.
We believe that tax on autonio-
bileS should be fixed to keep these
state roads in repair after they are
built. We believe very just pro-
vision for the maintenance of our
state highways would be one along
the line of the Massachusetts auto
mobile license law, which provides
tax or license fee of one dollar
per horse power for automobiles.
We have over 10000 automobiles in
the state of Michigan, that would
average about 80 horse power. This
alone would give us $4,000 for the
maintenance of our state roads.
There are something over 1000 ma
chimes that come into the state ev-

not worth while to figure on foreign
demand when the market is at home.
Why not get busy and raise our own
hogs, supply our own market, and then
raise millions for export? Think OF
the difference in the cost Of raising
pork in our climate and on improved
lands that can still be bought at from
S2j to $50 per acre, compared to rails
ing them on lands costing from slO0
to 5000 per acre.
Don't let the phantom Of overpro-
duction scare you for one minute,
when the people are fleeing from the
farms to the cities; when the former
rich corn lands OF the north are be-
ing impoverished continually by pro
ducing the same crop while the area
Of corn production continually is be-
ing encroached upon by the grea,
dairy and other interests for the pro.
duction Of crops that must be had for
ths supply Of nearby fast-growing
cities.
The number Of cattle in the United
States has decreased four and one
half millions in the last four years
and many wellinformed cattle deal.
ers contend that this year will end
with an insufficient supply Of cattle
for home demands, and another year
will find US importing beef from South
America lmportations from Mexico
already have assumed large proper
tions. The great cattle ranges are
fast disappearing.
The production Of pork by farmers
instead Of beef, has many advantages.
In the first place, the greater and
more rapid increase, less Investment
Of stock and greater production Of
meat per hundred pounds Of dry feed,
It requiring one hundred pounds Of
dry feed to make three and one-hali
pounds Of beef. the same amount Of
dry feed producing fifteen and two
thirds pounds Of pork
Now is a good time to go into The
business Of growing hogs The pres
ers high prices Of breeding stock
should not be considered, because the
Increase is SO rapid and returns SO
quick Suitable lsyss for hog ranches
are very much neglected. the general
demand being Cor level lands, with
az near every foot suiis0le for cult

must all be farmed. They seemingly
