FARM WAGES HIGHEST KNOWN

At no time have the wages of farm
labor been as high in this country as
they were in 1919, certainly as far
back as 1866, when the first investi-
cation if this subject was made by
the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Averages for the United States are
in mind, and not local rates. For
labor hired by the month and with
board, the average rate was $39.82,
and among the geographic divisions
the average was as low as $30.54 in
the South Atlantic and as high as
$62.96 in the Western, including the
Mountain and Pacific states. Without
board, the average for the United
States was 5000, and the lowest
was $44.G3 in the South Atlantic
States and the highest, $8712, in the
Western. Extras, such as frewood,
milk, ETC., are not included.
Harvest wages per day with board
reached the top figure of $4.48 in the
North Central States west of the Mis-
sissippi River and the lowest figure
of 1928 in the South Atlantic, and
the United States average was $3.15.
Without board, the United States
average of 1888 was most exceeded
by 1888 in the former States, while
the latter States had the lowest ave-

CLERGY NOT HIRELINGS
SAYS BISHOP OLMSTED
Not Employed by Vestries to Preach
Smoth Things

Syracuse, New York.-In institu-
ting the Rev. Theodore Hayden, as
rector of Calvary Church in this city,
the Rt. Rev. Chas. Tyler Olmstead
took occasion to deliver an explica-
ton of the source and nature of the
Christian ministry. He said:
eff then we are the servants of
Christ, we are not the servants of
naen. 1t is indeed true, as St. Paul
says, that is it both our duty and our
pleasure to serve Gods people in all
spiritual concerns, not as the paid
officials Of congregation, or YES
try. Nothing could be more unscrip-
tural, more unapolistic, more un-
catholic than that idea. The errors
and confusion which exist on this sub
ject today have most probably risen
from the fact that the salaries of the
clergy are paid by the people. But
while that is true, it should always be
rem embered that the incomes, small
as rule, which the clergy receive
from the Offering of God-they de-
rive their support from that which IS,
or at least, ought to be first offered
on the altar by Gods faithful peo-
pie.
eff, in the working of our volun-
tary system, the people have imbibed
the notion that the clergy are mere
hirelings, then it is plain that the
manly independence of the clergy
will be destroyed, and the sacred
ministry will be sought only by such
men as are willing to preach Smooth
things in order to obtain a share of
the loaves and fishes which are dis
pensed according to the good pleas
ure of her worldly parishioners.
From such state of things, may the
Lord in His mercy deliver his
Church. The Churchman.

lence has not been due to loss Of interest in the Corner, but owing to lack of time to do the unnecessary things. One of the pleasures that was mine quite recently was the privilege of going over to Wild wood Park, when Club No. 4 had their picni cthere. I was much pleased ro meet sisters from Norwich. New Lon don. Jewett City. Franklin, Willimantie, Putnam and some who are almost neigh bors of mine. I was sorry that some of the sisters had just left to take the troll ley for their hpmes. Was pleased to renew acquaintance with Married and Happy. whom I hai not met at pre- vious gathering of the Corner members. Also Twice Twenty and Bee True, who were good enough to look me up and pay me little visit recently. It was my first meeting with Primrose and Keiial Doolittle with whom I have cor responded and hope the pleasure Of meet ing may be ~iine again. I also met Chauffeur, who proved to be the daugh- ter of q dear friend back in the. old days when I taught the District school Next month hope to visit. M..

USE FOR EVERY DISCARDED SILK
 GARMENT.

Sisters of the Social Corner: With your housecieaning all done and knowing right where they are now is the time to go through your trunks and cioseH and bring out all the silien garments that have been packed away, no matter how long ago. Sometimes the longer. the bet ter. for then they are sure to be of a quality such as cannot be procured to- day unless at exorb;H1t prices There may be a dance frock, old fashioned in cut and dinsy as to color. But the silk will no doubt be heavy and beautiful as to quality. Rip it apart. wash it care fully if you think it will stand it, and tint it with one of the easily used dyes that are on the market. Sometimes turn ing the silk on the wrong side will be all that is needed. Think of the joy of planning . new frock or Q tea gown or a tunic or an underskirt from the renovat- ed silk!
 Perhaps in the same trunk there may he silk shawl worn by grandmother. These shawls> make themselves into the most delightful snoclz or overblouses. Even the silk lining of your coat which was too good to throw away and not good enough to wear will fashion, if nothing else, an underSkirt or a blouse
 Fathers or husbands silk shirts that are worn through at the neck and at the cuffs-they can be made into shirt waists for yourself or into blouses for the little boy.
 There's a use for every discarded silk en garment. Bring it out and see what you can do with it

APPLE ROLL

Dear Sisters of the Corner: As soon as the new aples come, or now if you can get fresh apples, in case you want something extra nice for dessert I am sure you will like apple roll. The rule calls for two cups flour, four tea spoons baking powder. one half tea spoon salt, three tablespoons butter or lard, about two third cup milk, two cups peeled and sliced apples, one cup boiling water, two-thirds cup golden syrup, one-half teaspoon nutmeg. Sift flour. salt and baking pwoder together, cut in the butter with knife, then add milk gradually stirring till it forms a soft dough. Turn dough on slightly 1ouTed board.
 Sprinkle apples evenly on this dough, shake nutmeg lightly over them, then take hold of dough nearest you, roll it Up like music roll and cut off pieces with a sharp knife.
 Mix the syrup and boiling water, pjour into a pudding dish, set the piepces of dough in this liquid with the cut edges up and near together, then bake in a quick oven till crust is brown and apples tender.
 If your folks don't like this delicious roll it will greatly surprise.

HOW TO PUT ON 4 COAT WHEN

Social oCrner Members: I thought I would write something concerning do- mestic affairs.
 If you have lame back, take a strong cord about two and three-fourth feet long. Tie one end of 1t to a hook which is < <stened to the wall about six feet from the floor. Fasten small hook to the other end of the coat insert this hook in the buttonhoue of the left lapel Of the coat Slip the right into the prop CT sleeve. Draw the coat up to the body, turn halfway round, slip the left arm into the other sleeve and draw the coat into place and the thing is done
 After opening the envelope of dress patterns and taking a pattern out, 1t is almost impossible to ret it back into the envelope again that you took 1t out Of.
 Save the large envelop that comes with things in from the dry goods stores Cut out the. picture from pattern en- velop and paste it on the large envelop with directions on back as on the pat tern enyelop. Then you will have more room. f
 Line market basket with table oil cloth, and in, it place the soap, securing powder. ammonia, a bottle of kerosene, cloths of large and small size. furniture polish, stove nolish. blaclaen;ng, and polishing brushes. This keeps the things together and is very helpful.

MAKING THE MOST OF xoUE HOME

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Tar away
 in the distant land of Africa, on a stretch
 or beautiful sandy beach, there were some
 children playing with what they thought
 were pebbles. Some gentlemen were pass
 ing that way and they stopped to exam
 inc their playthings They asked the
 builders of castles if they would give them
 some of their treasures. You may have
 all these" was the reply, for we can get
 plenty more over there in the bank" and
 thus the great diamond mine was discov-
 cred
 It is interesting to notice that the chi1-
 dren offered to share their playthings
 they did not offer to give all they had
 and isn't>it the case with us a great many
 times? Are we not asked to share what we have arl.l not to give all away? Of all the things that man has think
 he can give the most pleasure by sharing his ho-oe. That does not mean he must
 take son.sbody in and support them. but it does mean that he can have his visitor or
 caller enjoy his home to the fullest extent for the short time they are there The truth of this matter was brought home to me when I was in school, and I made LID
 my mind then that if I ever had a home l should try and make my visitors cnicy it the way those people made me enjoy theirs. There were four sister and one DOy. 1Hcy were 4ll III SCHOOL. but the oldest one, Mabel, and she with the mother governed the household The fa ther was stern. kind one. but even in those days he used to say: 'I will never leave this house until I go feet frstv He loved him home. It was the best place | in the world for him, and he tried to make everybody enjoy it who crossed his threshold. I was away at school and about all the home I knew was what I had in my visiting at his house The 1 visits were not often, but they are some of the diamonds of memory that I shall l treasure all my life.
 Florence was just my age and her ofd- ] est sister, Mabel, that of my sister. We used to keep those two sisters busy keep 1 ing us in order good many times, but i then I am not sorry for it now. It gave them something to do, Florence used to 1 be told by her father than she was ] rightly named because she was such a | lover of flowers, and the lilies of the val l ley were her favorites. She always had ! 8 bed of them in the yard and on each 1 visit she would show them to me with pride
 l I cannot tell you of all my visits. They
 are too many and they beautify too many years. but will tell you of one we en- l ajoyed very much Florence and I had ! taken sail down Boston harbor that day

NORMA
DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLE

Social Corner Sisters: Probably many of you are eng %d even now in. the dry ing of fruits ar.d vegetables You know the general methods-sun-dryin drying over the stove, the use of the comner- cial drier.
 The directions tell you to blanch veg etables before drying them. You may think this is not always necessary but it is, if you wish, to preserve the sweet flavor Gas you do in peas and corn, for example), if you wish to preserve the color of the vegetables and to keep them from getting tough. Preserving the sweet flavor of peas and corn is an interesting point While they are growing there is a process go- ing on which forms sugar in them. This process depends upon the sunlight. At the same time, something in the, plant is changing the sugar into starch Un- less we stop this in some way it will go right on changing the sugar to starch af- ter the peas or corn are picked. Blancf- ing-and plunging into boiling water fol sweet flavor of the vegetables is pre-. served.
 So also in string beans there is ac ton which is responsible for the tough ening of the pod as it grows. This toughening goes right on after the beans are picked unless checked by blanching Another point in connection. with the
 blanching is that any slicing of a vege- table should be done after blanching, moi before. If the flesh of the vegetable is
 broken and the whole placed in. boiling water, much of the Eclis-hle minera

Dear Cornerites; Among the tribes of the northwest coast there was a custom known as Potlatch.
 Invitations were extended to friendly tribes. There was a great gathering of Indians atired in festal rainment and paint.
 Feasting and dancing followed. The climax of the day was usually an old Indian. who had accumulated his stars of ponies and blankets. All of these riches were tokens of idle wealth.
 In burst of generosity he would dis tribute the most of his belongings, mak- ing many friends. There was more feasting and dancing and the guests would depart with their new found wealth Back of this was a deeper plan; the annuity Insurance sealed by trust. They were in duty bound to return them tor their equivalent should the donor ever l feel their need, two fould His invest nlent was on a basis of one hundred per l cent. interest, plus principal.
