Soil Erosion.

Department of Agriculture.

You lose fertility and future crop

the hillside IN belts of titled soil

practical and most profitable way
to prevent erosion and gullylng

MINNESOTA CAN BOAST
OF HOME GUARD UNITS
Areoplanes and Pilots Have Been
Donated for Use in This
State

With one of the largest milling
centers in the world, also the largest
deposit of iron ore in the United
States within it's borders, Minnesota
further boasts of another distinction
in the military organization estab-
lished for home defense.
More than $4,000 fully equipped
and thoroughly trained patriotic
citizens are drilling and stand ready
for any emergency which might get
beyond the control of civil authori-
ties, according to Adjutant General
Rhinow. These men have donated
their services and time to maintain
peace and order at home while the
younger men are $1,000 miles away
making the world safe for demo-
cracy."
In order to make the home defense
unit mobile one and independent of
rail transportation, the motor corps
was organized throughout the state.
This branch of the home guard is
composed of patriotic automobile

A Sugar Stretcher

A pound of sugar will go further
in making jam than in making jelly.
That is, the same amount of fruit
and sugar will make more preserve if
both pulp and juice are included.
For example, quarts of fresh cur
rants and pounds of sugar will
make about ten glasses of jelly, or
about fourteen glasses Of jam. OF
course, jelly is pretty and sparkling
and wobbly, but the jam will cover
more bread for the same amount of
sugar used, and that is what counts
this year. Perhaps the seeds do stick
in our teeth; that is but very mild
nuisance of war. Another argument
in favor of jams is that more of the
food value of the fruit is used, since
the pulp retains a great deal of pro-
tein and mineral material. But
since jams are used more as appetiz-
ers than as foods, this point will not
appeal to most people, Still another
argument against jellies is that they
require more work and time in ex-
tracing and straining the juice.

1.-THE use of sugar in fruit pre-
servation is not necessary to prevent
spoilage," says the state food admin
istration. 1T is necessary that the
fruit be brought to the temperature
of boiling water throughout to kill
all yeasts and molds and that no air,
water or unsterilized utensil shall
come in contact with it after it is
heated. The purposes of sugar in
canning has been two-fold: To pro-
duce the extreme sweetness demanded
by the American taste; and to make
the liquid surrounding the fruit thick
enough so that the fruit will not
break, nor the sweetness be so much
drawn out of it that the pulp would
be tasteless. The problem of saving
fruit without the use of SCAR may
be solved in several ways: /. Can
ming fruit in water; 2. Canning
fruit juices without sugar; 8. Can
ming fruit in fruit juice; 4. Can
ming fruit butter without sugar;
5. Drying fruit
Methods and recipes for canning
without sugar by these various plans
may be secured by application to the

ity Farm, st. Paul.

LIVING IN BARRACKS
USED BY NAPOLEON
Cy 0rtman Arrives Safely on Other
Side of Pond. Writes Fine
Letter

Mrs. Ortman received letter this
week from her son Cyrus saying
that he arrived safely on the other
side of the water after a trip at
sea of nearly two weeks. He SAYS:
ut was however an enjoyable trim
and I am feeling very well after it.
Of course, we were all glad to set
foot on firm ground again, after
walking on the rolling decks for SO
long a time.
'The country here is entirely diff
erent from anything that we saw in
the Good Old u. S. A. The buildings
here are much older, some of them
having been built several hundred
years ago. A good many of the older
buildings especially have tiled roofs,
1t seems that lumber is quite scarce
and a luxury here. The people are
also rather old-fashioned and quaint
and seem to be poor, but it is just
possible that they were the only
ones we saw and therefore we should
not judge them.
"We are now in camp for a few
days and we are told that the bar
racks which we now occupy were
used by Napoleon and his men dur
ing his reign. I presume we should
feel highly f1attered to be allowed to
stay where such courageous troops
were stationed.
II am writing this at the ~ 1t
is rather difficult to write, as there
are four of us writing at the one
little table, which is very easily
shaken, and there are about two
hundred fellows in here writing un-
der the same conditions. There is
also more or less talking going on
and a piano is being played in one
corner with couple of darkies
stepping to the music. You see a
fellow would have a hard time to
feel blue.
II am very well at the time of
writing this letter and II hope you
are not worrying about me-"

Sugar for Canning Scarce

Because of further curtai1ment
Of the supply of sugar allotted to
Minnesota for July, the state food
administration announces a change
in the amount of sugar allowed to
consumers for canning purposes.
Under this change no sugar may be
purchased by a, family or person
for canning purposes IL they have
previously made one or more pur-
chases for this purpose. The family
or person who has had no sugar for
canning and preserving may buy one
lot of Is pounds or less, but not until
a certificate has first been approved
by the food administration for the
county, in which the family or per-
son lives. M
Sugar for regular household pur-
poses may be used at the rate Of
three pounds per month per individ-
ual, but may be purchased in quaint
ties of 2 pounds by residents of cities,
