ADVICE TO FARM
BOYS and GIRLS
Club Work Is Important Because
It Has Such Large Posi-
bilities, Says Secretary.
LEARN TO BEST ADVANTAGE
Department Of Agriculture and 9th

Of Country More Profitable
and Home Life Pleasant

By E. T. MEREDITH. Secretary of
AgnSulture.)
want to say just a few words to
the farm boys and girls, and the older
people need not bother to read 1t at all.
Now. you and know that the boys
and girls club work represents one Of
the most important lines of agricul-
tural activity in the United States
today. I believe it is important. be-
cause 1t has such large possibilities.
We men and women who are trying to
improve farming and farm life will
be out Of the game when you boys
and girls are just reaching the prime
of life. You have the advantage Of
us, because you are learning the prin-
ciples Of good agriculture and home
making while you are still young
enough to learn to the best advantage

EXPLAINING THAT 80 CENTS
Champ Clark Wanted to Know About
1t, and the Clerk Gave Him
the Information.

Champ Clark likes shirts that have
a small red stripe. Not long ago he
went into the shop Of Washington
haberdasher to buy dress shirt. Sc
lecting one he gave the clerk $40
bill, and while waiting for his change
wandered around looking ut the shirts
displayed. But let the former speaker
tell us about it, says The Nations
Business.
'I found a fine shirt with small red
stripes and I like to wear that kind.
During the war you could not get a
shirt with red stripes which would
not fade. I said to the clerk:
"'What is the price Of that shirt ?
"'Three dollars
"'Give me that and take 1t out Of
the ten.'
"When he came back with the
change he did not have enough and l
called his attention to 1t.
"'You are gouging me. What is that
extra thirty cents for?'
"'That,' replied the clerk, is the
sales tax that you d fools enacted
up there in congress-"

HEAT c0RNMEAL AND WATER
Best Results Secured by Placing Thorn
in Double Boiler and Not Stir
the Mixture.

In experiments made in the home
economic department of the United
States department of agriculture 1t has
been found that 1t is best for almost
every purpose to put cornmeal and
cold water together and then heat
them over boiling water In a double
boiler. Except when very finely
ground meals are used 1t Is unneces-
sary to stir the mixture at any time,
not even when the meal and water are
put together. The conclusion has been.
reached that in all cases the best re-
suits are obtained by heating the meal
and liquid together without stirring.

"SALT-RISING" BREAD
LIKE GRANDMOTHER'S
Favorite Where Difficult to Get
Satisfactory Yeast.
Recipe Recommended by Home Eco
nomics Kitchen Of Department Of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cooker
Maintains Temperature.

Self-rising bread, which is COM
monty called by the misleading name
of "salt-rising bread" has been known
in one form or another for generations.
1t has been a particular favorite when
and where it was difficult to get salts.
factory yeast. The following recipe Is
recommended by the home economics
kitchen of the United States depart
ment of agriculture:
/ cup sweet milk tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons white tablespoon butter
corn meal a. Gf used
! teaspoon salt Flour
Scald the milk. Allow 1t to cool un-
til 1t is 'lukewarm. then add the salt,
sugar and corn meal. Place in fruit
can or a heavy crock or pitcher and
surround by water at about 120 to 40
degrees F. Water at, this temperature
Is the hottest in which the hand can
be- held without inconvenience, and
can be secured by mixing nearly equal
parts Of boiling water and tap water
(unless the tap water Is unusually
warm). If placed in a fireless cooker
fairly even temperature can be main
tained for several hours.
Allow the mixture to stand for six
or seven hours. or overnight, until II
shows signs Of fermentation. If it has
fermented sufficiently the gas can be
heard as it escapes. This leaven con-
tains enough liquid for one loaf. II
more loaves are needed add one cup
Of water. one teaspoon of salt, one
tablespoon of sugar and one tablespoon
of butter for each additional loaf.
Make soft sponge by adding a cup
of flour for each loaf to be made. Beat
thoroughly and put the sponge In a
convenient receptacle and surround by
water again at the temperature of
about 100 to 140 degrees F.
When the sponge is filled with tiny
gas bubbles and has more than
doubled in volume add more flour grad
ually until the dough is so stiff that 1t
can be kneaded without sticking to
the hands or to the board. Knead ten
or fifteen minutes. put at once into the
pans, allow to rise until about two and
one-half times its original bulk, and
bake. Self-rising bread Is never so
light as the bread raised with yeast.

MIXED VEGETABLE CHOWDERS
Nourishing and Substantial Dish 10
Well Liked by Majority Of
Farm People.

A mixed vegetable chOwder is sub
stantial dish and one well liked by
the majority Of people for luncheon or
supper. The following recipe Is one
recommended by the home economic
specialists Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture:
2 tablespoonfuls fat. potatoes.
or a piece of salt 3 carrots.

STORAGE OF FOOD PRODUCTS
Cellar Of House Should Hold Winters
Supply Of Various Kinds Of Fruit
and Vegetables.

Farm buildings usually offer ample
space for the storage of food products
raised on the farm. The cellar of the
house should hold winters supply
of potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, and
canned fruits and vegetables, as well
as such articles as barrel of salt
pork, keg of kraut, and jar Of eggs in
water glass. The thrifty farmer faces
the winter season with well-stocked
cellar and with store of dried fruits
and vegetables and possibly some jars
Of apple butter in his attic.
Specially constructed root cellars, or
"caves," may be found on some farms.
Potatoes and other vegetables are
sometimes carried over the winter in

PRICES FROM SALES
IN MARKET REPORTS

ture Figures Not Given.
Not Possible to Give Quotations on

certain Price-Most Interest
In Jobbln0 Trade.

The prices quoted in market reports,
supplied by bureau Of markets, Unit
ed States department Of agriculture,
or quotations given. or predictions as
to probable future prices. Hence 1t
may be that on a rising market the
prices quoted may seem low when the
reports are received, and vice versa,
on a declining market the prices may
be high by the time the reports are
received.
Quotations usually represent the
condition of the respective markets up
to approximately 8 a. M. local time.
but reports are not issued until about
noon. Consequently it is impossible
to include fluctuations which may oc-
cur between these hours, in the mar
ket reports.
In many important markets 1t would
be impossible to get car lot quota
tions because very few or no cars are
sold intact by the original car lot re-
ceiver in that market to the local job
bers. hence there would be no basis
for actual sales upon which to report
a car lot price. In most important
markets. however, there is fairly de-
fined jobbing trade which buys at the
prevailing jobbing price for the day.
Returns to a grower or shipper who
may have consigned a shipment to
commission merchant are usually made
on basis Of the jobblng price re-
ceived from which, Of course. freight,
subtracted. Hence shippers Of con-
signed products are usually more in
terested in the jobbing prices prevail
ing in a given market than in car lot
prices quotations.

TO AID RASPBERRY GROWERS
Specialists to Make Thorough Investi-
cation Of Diseases In Middle
West Region.

Raspberry growers, particularly in
the lake region Of the middle West,
have encountered difficulties resulting
from diseases not thoroughly Under
stood that have seemed to threaten
the existence of the industry, unless
effective methods of control could be
worked out. The United States de-
partment Of agriculture has been In
vestigating the situation for some time
past and is about to begin more inten-
sive studies. Specialists will spend
practically the entire season In the
field, thoroughly investigating the dis
ease to determine the causes and
habits Of growth and to devise control
measures by spraying and otherwise.

KEEP OFF HARMFUL RABBITS
Tar and Creosote OIL Will Dis
courage Rodents.

Where rabbits are likely to gnaw
young fruit trees, paint the trunks
with a mixture Of coal tar and creo-
sote oil. Use two-thirds to three
fcurths heavy coal tar and balance Of
creosote oil. or enough to thin It to
the consistency Of thick paint. These
materials can be bought at paint
stores. A paint brush with stiff bris-
ties which are pretty well worn down
is best to apply the tar. It II said
that rabbits will not gnaw trees which
have been painted with this mixture.

Sc. Test Rubbers Carefully.
One of the make Of rubbers which
is to be used should be tested. A
good rubber-one that will stand up
under the heat which long cooking
in the can entails-must possess elas-
ticity enough to allow IT'S being fold

specialists of the United States de-

test is its ability to hold 13 pounds
weight without breaking when this
weight is suspended by hook from
the rubber ring.

for processing or sterilizing. a number
Of utensils are needed for properly
handling the products. These include
five or six good porcelain sauce pans
or those Of some material that is
acid proof, with covers Tor use in

two tablespoons, one set of measur-
ing spoons, one wire basket or several
yards of cheeseciOth for use in

hot jars, and several sharp pairing
knives. Look over your supply and

CANNING FRUITS
WITHOUT SUGAR
Half of Battle Is to Have All
Equipment Prepared and in
Readiness for Use.
VARIETY ADDED FOR WINTER
Many People Prefer to Can Juices
Unsweetened, as Individual Flaw
ors Are Best Preserved-Many
Utensils Needed.

Fruits can be successfully canned
without sugar. and vegetables require
none So the wise housekeeper is
planning to can as much or more than
usual this year. Plenty of canned
vegetables reduce grocery and doctors
bills and add pleasing variety to the
diet in winter. Fruit canned without
sweetening can be sweetened when 1t
Is used. Fruit juices, too, can be
canned without sugar. Indeed, many
prefer to can them unsweetened. main
tanning that the individual fiavors are
thereby best preserved. Part of the
canned juices can be made into jelly
next winter. Making jelly when the
weather is cool rather than when the
mercury fingers in the eos appeals to
many housewives as sane and sensi-
BILE procedure.
Getting Ready.
If one waits until the fruit is half
ripe before making any preparation
to take care II 1t, there Is loss of time,
'and the season of that particular prod
uct is likely to pass before all the
equipment for canning is in readiness.
One Of the first steps Is to order
a Gamer, if you are planning to use
one this summer. A wash boiler or
lard can with false bottom will hold
the cans and process them efficiently.
The work, however, can be done more
easily with one Of the commercial
types of Gamers. AS the stock Is
usually low when the canning season
is under way, it is well to select the
kind you want in advance when there
is choice. The steam-pressure type
is usually preferred for general can
ming, but the water seal and water
bath are both popular with those who
want Il Gamer which costs less money.
If jars are needed, supply. should
be laid in early. The tops of both
the old and new Jars should be gone
over carefully and all the rough edges

Cox Wants League "to Prevent

Reservations of Nominee Ac-

Dayton. o., July 1O.-James NJ. Cox
Democratic nominee, in his rorthcom-

President Wilson to back him in two
proposed reservations to the League of

The first provides that the United
States enter the League of Nations
with the distinct understanding of all
other members that the American con-

try shall enter a war.
The second is definite stipulation
that all members of the league agree
that its main and virtually sole pur-
pose shall be the prevention of wars.
