EARNINGS OF CLUB MEMBERS
Indiana Boys and Girls Spend Bigger
Part of Savings for Liberty Bonds
and Stamps.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
What do club boys and girls do with
the money they earn in their work?
1t is a question frequently asked by
persons who have read of their prof
it's. The question was asked approx
mately $50 boys and girls at the first
annual club roundup of Indiana boy
and girl club members, held recently
at Purdue university in cooperation
with the United States department of
agriculture. 1t was found that 5S of
those present owned Liberty bonds,
which they had purchased with their
own earnings; 100 had War Savings
stamps; and practically every one had
bought Thrift stamps. Thirty-one had
started bank accounts with the money
they had made In raising corn, pigs,
calves or poultry selling canned prod
ucts, or from some other branch of
club work. Eighty-five owned pigs, 46
owned calves, 20 owned sheep, and GO
owned poultry Definite plans to at
tend college by use of money from club
work had been made by III. 1t was
found that of the $50 attending the
meeting. TIC had been engaged in club
work two years; 20, three years; 8.
four years, and four five years.

BOY HIS OWN DETECTIVE
Pennsylvania Lad Shows That He
Needs No Help From the City
Police Force.

Chester, Pa.-Rhoades Head, Is, OF
1902 Price Place, has the distinction
of being the best Juvenile detective in
the state. A few days ago he left his
bicycle in front OF barber shop while
he was getting his hair cut.
When he came out his wheel had
disappeared and he notified the police.
He also started to do some detective
work himself. He learned that two
boys had torn apart wheel and had
thrown the frame into an old quarry
hole where the wheel was taken. The
lad fished it out and found it was the
frame of his wheel. In the meantime
the boys had taken the good parts Of
Heald's wheel and attached them to
an old frame. Young Head learned
this and the boys promised to pay
him SIS rather than be arrested.
The police called off matters ow-
ing to the age and responsibility of
the boys under promise that In the fu-
ture they will not tamper with other
peoples property.

RURAL SCHOOLS
STUDY POTATOES
Guide for Teachers and Pupils
Published by United States
Department of Agriculture.
ITS IMPORTANCE AS FOOD
One of Most Widely Cultivated of Ag-
ricultural Plants-No Crop, Except
Rice, Is Eaten by Larger
Number of People.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A guide for teachers and pupils of
of potatoes has been published by the
United States department of agricul-
ture as Bulletin 1874, Lessons on Po-
tatoes for Elementary Rural Schools"
The potato is a good subject for study,
says the bulletin, because of its i'm
rortance of food, wide range of grow
ing territory and its possibilities for
home project work.
The bulletin contains IL lessons, in
Guiding the selection of seed potatoes
II the field, harvesting and grading,
marketing, winter storage, Judging, tu-
Der and plant structure, place of po-
tatoes in the rotation, soils (kind,
preparation, fertilizers), planting and
seed treatment, cultivation. insect
pests and diseases, and uses as food.
With each lesson is given the sources
of material which may be studied with
the subject under discussion, illustra-
tive material that will help in its pre-
Sentation, class exercises and pract1-
cal exercises.
Study Different Stages.
AS potatoes may be secured at any
tine of the year, there is no excuse,
says the bulletin, for attempting to
study them without having at hand
specimens which represent good varie-
ties grown in the district. The po-
;stc plant in the field should be stud
led during the different stages of de-
velopment. Especially should the re-
lation of the new tubers to the seed
ttt5er and the root system of the plant
be noted. If no plants are available,
a. diagram showing the plant as
whole will be useful. Charts showing
the composition of the potato and its
relative food values should also be
made. Pictures clipped from bulletins,

Importance of Potato.
In referring to the importance of the
potato, the bulletin says 1t is one of
the most widely cultivated of the ag-
ricultural plants. and next to Indian
corn is the most important contribu-
ton of America to the food supply of
the world. Probably no crop except
rice is eaten by a larger number of
people. In the more thickly populated
regions of northern Europe the pota-
to is now the most important of hui
man foods, furnishing about 25 per
cent of the food of the continental and
English peoples. Only the oriental
peoples exist without it. Not only are
tie tubers used for food. but they have
important industrial uses. AS Ameri-
can population increases, the potato
will become more and more important
in this country, there being no other
crop which will give such large yield
of TODD suitable for man under such
varying conditions.

MILK AND CREAM DEFINITION
Standards to Be Used for Enforcement
of Food and Drugs Act Published
in Circular.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Definitions and standards for milk
and cream adopted by the joint COM
mittee on definitions and standards
and approved by both the Association
OF American Dairy, Food and Drug
officials and the Association of Oil
cial Agricultural Chemists, to be used
as a. guide for the enforcement of the
food and drugs act have been published
by the United States department of ag-
rieulture in a circular, Food Inspec-
tion Decision 17S."
Milk is defined as the whole, fresh,
clean, tactical secretion obtained by
the complete milking of one or more
healthy cows, properly fed and kept,
excluding that obtained within 15 days
before and five after calving, or such
longer period as may be necessary to
render the milk practically colustrum
free.
Pasturized milk is milk that has
been subjected to temperature not
lower than 145 degrees Fahrenheit for
not less than 80 minutes. Unless it
is bottled hot, it is promptly cooled
to 50 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
Skinned milk is milk from which
substantially all of the milk fat has
been removed.
Buttermilk is the product that re-
mains when fat is removed from milk
or cream, sweet or sour, in the proc
ess of churning.
Cream, sweet cream, is that portion
Of milk, rich in milk fat, which rises
TO the surface of milk on standing, or
is separated from 1t by centrifugal
force. 1t is fresh and clean 1t con-
tains not less than Is per cent Of milk
fat and not more than 2-10 per cent
of acid-reacting substances calculated
In terms of Tactic acid.
Whipping cream Is cream which con-
tains not less than 30 per cent of
milk fat.
Homogenized milk or homogenized
cream is milk or cream that has been
mechanically treated in such manner
as TO alter Its physical properties with
particular reference to the condition
and appearance of the fat globules.
The composition of the milk pro-
duced by different breeds of dairy cows
varies so greatly, say the food officials,
that it is not practicable to fix stand
ard which Is applicable in all locali-
ties in the United States and its ter
ritories. 1t is therefore, left to the
state and municipal authorities to
adopt such standards as their local
production conditions may warrant.

the extension specialists say, but ia
also a demonstration to show how
proper management will increase the
egg production and profits of the farm
flock.
The plan Is to have one poultry
keeper In each community of the vari-
Gus counties enter the contest. The
tire poultry flock as nearly as possible
according to directions furnished by
the poultry-extension workers through
the Office of the farm bureau. At the
end of each month each contestant
is to report expenses and income from
his flock for the month. This plan will
stimulate better methods of poultry
management by demonstrating on a
typical farm in the neighborhood the
results which can be secured by prop
er care of the flock.
According to reports of the extern
sion workers, 81 farm flocks are en-
tered in the contest, with an average
of 155 hens to the farm. In February
the hens In the contest averaged 81
eggs. The value of eggs to the farm
amounted to $32.0S, the cost of feed
per farm SSH, and the average net
profit S13.91.. In the four months, No
vember, December, January and Feb
sruary, eggs valued at $100.53 were pro-
duced on each farm at a cost for feed
of $3.50 for each farm. White Leg
horns averaged % eggs for the four
months and led all breeds in egg
yields.
The highest record in similar con-
test held in the state last year was
made by N. P. Hollar, living near
Harding, who secured an average pro-
duction of 40 eggs from flock Of
430 birds.

seed can be profitably grown that as
many acres of clover be left for seed
as can be used without seriously in
terfering with crop rotation. If the
second crop Is to be left for seed, the
possibility of good crop will be
greatly increased If the first crop is
cut early. This Is especially true If
there is any danger from the clover
flower nudge. Early cutting of the
first crop may result in a smaller ton
mage of hay and hay not quite rs
nutritious, but 1t will destroy the
nudge. If the field is badly affected
with nudge and the larvae have had
time to mature, a good seed crop la
out of the question. For further de-
tailed instruction see Farmers Bulie-
tin OIL.
In sections where mammoth clover
is grown fields intended for seed
should be rolled. This will cause the
stems to lie close to the ground. The
flower heads will then bend up and
can be harvested, leaving large part
of the clover upon the ground to be
turned under for fertilizer. This will
also reduce the amount of straw nee
essary to handle in hulling.

GIRLS AS CHICKEN RAISERS
Bronze Medal for Best Individual
Record Went to Marie Bradfish
of ST. Johns County.

Prepared by the United States Depart

Thousands of chickens were added
to Floridas supply of fowls last year
by the efforts of the boys and girls
who are doing club work in that state,
supervised by the home demonstration
agents Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the state col
lege. The bronze medal for the best
individual record made by girl went
to Marie Bradfish of st. Johns county.
She set 10 eggs and raised 1872 chick
ems, valued at $264.24. The expenses
for raising the flock were $56.95, leav-
ing a net profit of $207.29. Lloyd Town
send of Baker county won the state
bronze medal given to the boy who
made the best individual report in the
state. He raised SO chickens, valued
at S11615, at a cost of S4764. His net
profit was $68.51. The girls in Florida
apparently are outstripping the boys
in the poultry-club work.
