WORK OF STATE LAND
BOARD IS ACCUIUSATiNG
Heavy Increase in Business Is Crowd
ing the Reduced STAFF to Limit.

A problem of cutting down expenses
while the volume Of work steadily
and rapidly increased has been before
the state lapd board since the first
of the year. At the time OF the re-
moval OF the state land offices from
the east annex to the lower floor oil
the main building, It was thought that
It would be possible to reduce the
number OF office employees and thus
the general expense of the depart
ment.
II has been found by the board that
a reduction in the office work OF the
land commissioner would work an i'm
mediate and direct catastrophe To
state business. The problem now ia
not to reduce the force, but to figure
some way by which the great volume
of work can be handled by the pres
ent force.
There are at present some 400 GER
tificates of public land sale waiting tc

FOR EXTERNAL POTATO
DISEASES.

County Agent Kjosness gives
the following formula for the
treatment of all external potato
diseases. All seed potatoes
should be treated before plant
ing, as very few are free from
disease. Any drug store can
supply material needed:
dissolve four ounces bichlor-
ide of mercury In thirty gallons
of water. Soak potatoes one
and a half hours. This solu-
tlon can be used three times,
but not more. A new solution
should be prepared OF three inn
mersions will not prepare all
the seed needed. This solution
is for external diseases only,
and will not answer for fusar-
ian wilt.

ELECTRIC COOKING BEST.
Mary Gray MarstOn (Mrs. James b.
BrOkaw) Tells How Use of the
Electric Range Means Less Work.
Economy and eBtter Results.

Copyright, 1915 by Mary Marston.)
Few of us realize, and especially
the house-keepers, that we have just
about reached the age when electricity
will do nearly everything for us that
We have to do.
The greatest benefit that we shall
be able to receive from the Electric
Age" is that of being able to cook by
this power.
1t will mean to the ordinary house
wife less housecleaning, less kitchen
cleaning, fewer utensils, less dish
washing, better food, smaller house
hold supply bills, and more time to
read, sew or enjoy the pleasures of
life
1t will mean more than all else, a
chance to rest and relax during the
rush and hustle of an ordinary days
routine in this busy age.
More DOne-Less Work.
1t will mean an oportunity not only
to be able to do the housekeeping bet
ter than ever before, to give better
satisfaction tc those for whom one is
providing, but also to enlarge and
broaden ones talents.
We are able today, through the eff
forts of most central stations who have
been trying for some years to arrange
a practical cooking rate, to cook three
meals a day for six people at an aver
age cost of $3.50 a month for fuel.
This rate in many cases is not COM
parable with other methods of cook
ing, in it's advantage and economy
exactly, but the saving in being able
to use less expensive cuts of meats,
to the lesser shrinkage Of food cook
ed, and the possibility of using less
materials with perfectly good results,
has more than balanced up the diff
ferences in cost in the annual house.
hold budgets; to say nothing of the
elimination of worry, care and ner-
vousness attached to cooking on a
stove to which one has to give con-
stant attention.
Takes Care Of Self.
One may cook on an electric range
and, after the preliminary half hour
in starting things, the range may be
left for two or three hours without
any attention whatever. Electricity
as a cooking agent gives an absolutely
dependable, even, constant tempera-
| ture.
While we have to remodel our ideas
about cooking with the electric range
it has been found that the most in.
experienced cooks may obtain excel.
lent results with it at once, and it has
never been found that a person using
an electric range two or three weeks
could be persuaded to use anything
else thereafter.
