And Girls Can Have Part in This Food Producing Money
Making Enterprse-Town Grown Pigs Can be Fed Large
y on Table and Garden Wases-Severa Ways Compete

Two hundred thousand boys and
girls wanted to grow pork in pig
clubs this year!
You can figure the contribution
such a pig-raising army might make
to the meat supply by what $4,000
members produced last year-ap-
proximately 100000 pounds of
dressed pork. That contribution
means that the pig clubs have an i'm
portant part in the more meat" pro-
gram and specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
aided by State club leaders, are en-
deavoring to reach the 100000 goal
in membership this year.
The boys and girls are responding
to the appeal Of the State and Federal
workers assigned to club work, and
indications now are that the goal will
be attained. Bankers are helping
large numbers of worthy boys and
girls to buy pigs and are finding it

The children of the farms are not
the only ones who are aiding in the
increased production campaign. Clubs
have been organized in many towns
and city suburbs, where the boards of
health give permission. The pigs
kept in the towns are fed very large
ly op table wastes, ETC., so the grain
consumed and the cost Of production
will both be small.
There arr four plans of work avail
able for pig club members. The first
is the feeding phase, which consists
of fattening one or more pigs to a
marketable size The second is the
breeding phase where well-bred
weanling pig is raised until it is of
suitable age to start producing. Then
there is the, sow and litter phase
where the club member cares for a
SOW and her litter of pigs. This
phase is not suitable for boys and
girls who have not had experience in
handling swine. For members with
good training and experience there is
the herd phase where they take
charge of all the hogs on the farm.
The work in the towns and sub
urbs is practically limited to the feed
ing phase. The pork produced by
these boys and girls, besides helping
to meet the urgent ned of pork and
pork products, will also aid many of
the poor families in combating the
high cost of living.

MAUD ELIZABETH HANSEN
DEAD

Maud Elizabeth Hansen died at the
home Of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Rasmus Hansen west Of Gowen on
May Is, at the age of IL years, z
months and 10 days.
The news of beautiful life which
was suddenly ended came as shock
to this community when 1t was learn
ed late Thursday afternoon that Miss
Maud K. Hansen had died; to some 1t
was almost unbelievable. But the
sad truth had to be faced that she
had indeed passed to the Great Be-
yond and that henceforth her place
on earth with loved ones and friends
would know her no more forever.
Maud Elizabeth Hansen was born
on farm about two miles southwest
of Gowen October 6, 1899. She was
baptised and confirmed in the Set
Element church. She was at homo
with her folks until about 15 years
of age. She then worked at Green
vile for a year and half and from
that time and up to the time she
was taken sick, she worked in the
silk mills at Bedding as a weaver. Her
sudden death was caused by cerebral
meningitis. She was only sick about
week. She was taken. from Beld-
ing to her parental home on Mon
day, May 13, and both DR.. Lazar of
Gowen and DR.. Johnson of Greenville
were called and they said at once
nothing they could do could save her
her life, but that if they could get her
to Grand Rapids then perhaps some
that nothing they could do could save
thing could be done, SO she was TAX
en- there in an ambulance but there
they were given no hope. The best
doctors in Grand Rapids were con-
suited but said there was nothing
that could be done to save her life
and their advice was to return her
to her home at once, which was done,
ended Thursday afternoon about 5
o'clock when she passed away. 1t
is sad when anyone dies, but it is
doubly so at the age of Maud f.
Hansen who was just at the begin
ming of mature life with all the gold
en- promise of the future before her
The Grim Reaper plucked one of
earth's fairest flowers when Maud
was taken and that she will be sadly
missed by the bereaved parents to
whom she was ever ray of sunshine
in the home, we all realize.
The funeral was held Monday af-
ternoon. May 20, with services at the
Settlement church, her pastor, Rev.
Ole Amble officiating. The earthly
remains were laid to rest at the Lit
tie Denmark cemetery. The profu-
sion of floral offerings from neigh
bors and friends far and near was
exceptionally fine and was a mute
testimony of the esteem in which she
was held by all. M
She leaves to mourn, her Gear par
ents, three brothers, two of whom
are serving in the army, and three
sisters. One of her soldier broth

most successful enterprise. The note
of a pig club member always can be
rated as "gilt-edged" security, it is
said.
The pig clubs are conducted CO.
operatively by the State extension
forces and the u. S. Department of
Agriculture. Boys and girls who
wish to join club should consult
their county agent or write to the
Director of Extension at their State
Agricultural College. The boys and
girls are organized into clubs and
suitable local leaders secured. The
members are aided in securing pigs;
given instruction in the proper care,
feed and management of swine, and
at the close of the season the men,
bers compete for prizes for the best
work. These prizes usually are of an
educational nature, such as trip to
the State fair or farmers short
course.

Don't Waste the Garden Seeds
Crowded Plants Won't DO SO Well

Don't waste the Udfoen See0
Crowded Plants Won't DO SO Well
People who buy more garden seeds
than they need or sow seeds too thick
ly will be depriving some one else of
seeds and may cause a scarcity, ac-
cording to garden specialists of the
u. s. Department of Agriculture.
II is easy to plant more seeds than
is necessary when the assumption IL
that q few more or less will make no
plants have to be thinned out or more
often are left to crowd together and
produce an inferior crop.
It is assumed that before purchas-
ing the seeds the garden plan has been
carefully made and the actual amount
required has been determined. If
this is done. there will be no occasion
for waste. The most successful mal-
ket gardeners figure very closely up
on the amount Of seed required. They
buy the best obtainable and then plant
only the required number TO the hill
or row.
