Farmers would certainly appreciate
the united effort of other industries
in their behalf now that every hour
of daylight should be used to some
advantage. This condition of loafing
several hours in order to get rid of
two or three tons Of beets should be
rectified as soon as possible.

The Farm Bureau has just received
letter from J. w. Coyerdale, Sec
rotary of the Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, in regard to new grain rulings
We are pleased to offer this to the pub
lie at this time.
"As a result OF the Grain Corpora
ton conference in New York on June
18th in connection with the Farm Bur-
eau Federation of the various States.
it was practically agreed that start
ing July 1st the price Of wheat De
advanced two cents per month to all
owners of wheat, which would in part
pay the farmer for the storage or
same. 1t was not felt. practicable TO
give set handling margin which
country elevators might charge, but a
recommendation was made that IN
case of dissatisfaction the dealer
should take the case to the Zone Dir
ector. Should the decision OF the zone
Director be Unsatisfactory to either
the producer or the dealer either party
might appeal the case to the Wheat
Director.
The individual permit system OF dis-
tributing care was unanimously OPP
posed and blanket system whereby
permits would be issued to railways
to ship as many cars as the termmin-
ais could use, the fair distribution or
the cars to be put up to the railroads
themselves, were approved. This Is
called the blanket permit system
which is felt to be far superior to eth
er the individual permit or the en-
barge.
That part OF the contract calling
for the retension OF samples OF all
grading less than No. at the local
elevators was disapproved. 1t was
recommended that as to grade, fair
sample of the wheat should be drawn
by them, placed in an air tight con-
tainer and mailed with proper identi-
ficatjon marks to the Zone Vice Presi-
dent for his determination OF the
grade, which determination should De
found, and also for his statement as
to the price.

HoUsEHOLD MANAGEMENT.

HOUSEHOLD MANAHEMENI.
Household Management is both Art
and a trained profession. Not until
it is recognized as such will the aver
age home be maintained upon an eff
Gent and economical basis. Many a
tired mother used to say, ANY ignor-
ant woman can rear children, cook,
mend and sew, wash dishes, scrub
floors and do mental work about the
house." The time has gone. however.
when homework is considered mental
il It ever was thought of, and now we
realize that If housewife is going to
be anything better than drudge and
a slave, she must possess a special
knowledge that requires certain
specific education in addition to exper-
fence.
Men have belittled this idea and
have scoffed at the thought Of COM
pairing women's work in the home
with a mans work in the office, the
factory or store, but they are rapidly
changing their conception of house
hold management and home making.
Perhaps the low value that the woman
herself has set UPON her work in the
home, may have been largely reson-
sible for the mems attitude.
The women Of today must be q real
business woman. She must plan the
income, be the purchasing agent, be
informed on the subject Of foods, cloth
ing, etc., and be q factor in not only
her own home but in the community
as we'll. The Home Department of
the Farm Bureau is maintained in
order to give women an opportunity
to avail themselves Of some indivi-
dual or group help in maintaining the
business of the household.
CANNING.
The canning season has opened and
many queries are coming In regarding
the cold pack method. The thing you
need be very careful about is the rub
Der. A rubber, which is good rub
Der for the ordinary open bottle meth
cd OF canning may be very poor one
for the cold pack method The
rubber that Is boiled for long time
as in the cold pack method must be
tested.
1t is always well to test rubbers
when buying. A good rubber will re-
turn to its original size when stretch
ed hard. Don't be afraid to really
stretch the rubber. 1t is better that
it breaks in your hands than after it
has been placed on the jar and the
Jar is ready for sealing. Buy new

BOONE COUNTY CALF CLUB.
Fifty-two pure bred heifer calves
were distributed at Boone, Iowa. on
May 18th to the boys and girls who
entered the pure bred calf club. "a
of these calves were straight Scotch
and Scotch Top Shorthorns; 9 were
polled Herefords and 9 were Angus.
It took approximately $4,000 to buy
the calves.
The Farm Bureau through its Junior
Department is canvassing the county
to secure the names Of boys or girls
who would like to 60 into the pure
bred heifer calf club. The purpose OF
these clubs have been set forth in brief
articles. It is no experiment any long
er If Delaware County wishes to be
recognized as a good progressive
county, and where good livestock can
be secured 1t is a good opportunity to
get the boys and girls interested in
these clubs.
Any boy OF, girl from IA to 10 years
of age, whose parents will agree to
sign the note and further agree to as
sist in the careful management OF the
pure bred calf, will be eligible. We
would like to get thirty or forty names
within the next few days. Write to
the County Agent or phone him and
state the kind Of pure bred calf that
you would like to secure. This will be
strictly beef club project.
LIMESTONE.
The following farmers have secured
agricultural limestone through the
Farm Bureau office: d. J. Schnittjer,
Delhi; ]. A Dunlap, Manchester L.
L. Plat, Manchester. These men are
thoroughly convinced that limestone
is essential to produce the best crops.
OF fifty samples of soil tested by the
Farm Bureau only two did not need
limestone to correct the acid condition.
Some of these soils will need as much
as four tons per acre. II any farmer
or group of farmers are interested In
securing limestone they should get in
touch with the Farm Bureau office IN
order that their orders may be taken
care of early.
In the future issue OF the Farm
Bureau bulletin there will be printed
list OF the farmers who had their
soil tested and the amount Of limestone
it will be necessary to use on their
land.
PLANT DISEASES.
A specialist on diseases OF farm
crops will be in the county on July
18th and possibly. the 14th. II any
farmer has a field which Is badly in
fected with any disease the Farm Blu
reau office will be glad to have them
call or write in regard to same, SO that
the specialist may visit them If pos
sible.
The purpose of this work is to learn
the extent of injury of these diseases
and to offer such remedy as are pra-
ctical. Further. an effort is being
made to ascertain whether these dis
eases will become worse from one
year to another and what measure can
be taken to check the spread Of these
diseases or to stamp it out perman-
emily.
