PLAN NEW DEMONSTRATIONS

A series Of demonstrations which
will form a concentrated program of
extension work for women and girls
clubs in various counties of the state
is being outlined by state leaders.
The state club leader, home demon
stration leader, clothing specialist,
food specialist and poultry specialist,
all OF the State college extension SER
vice. will cooperate in this work. The
new plan will go into operation about
November Il
The number of requests for home
economies work in the counties has
increased so materially that It was
considered best to work out some def
nitely organized plan. Hereafter these
specialists will be scheduled out regu-
larry for one-half their time to put
on concentrated programs in two coun
ties per month. The other half of their
time will be spent in answering mis-
cellaneous calls.
The increase In requests for this tyne
OF work Is attributed In part to the
interest aroused by the exhibits and
shows staged ct the state fair at HUI
ron. The series whic IL being planned
will include about IL demonstrations.

Things To Be Done in October
Destroy g~rasshopper eggs. Now is
! the time to deal the grasshopper pest
a telling blow. Disc, or preferably
pillow. land which Is known to harbor
hopper eggs before the ground freezes.
When treated In this manner but few
Of the eggs will survive the winter.
Cows should freshen now. Cows
freshen this month if the cream check
Is to reach it's maximum during the
coming winter months. The COW
should be dry for six weeks, at least,
before freshening. The calf should
be taught to drink before it Is three
days old and should receive from eight
to twelve pounds Of whole milk per
day, preferably from the dam. A calf
under three weeks old will not do
we'll on skim milk and will after that
age only when supplemented by a
grain ration.
Dig out the barberry. To save mex
years wheat crop, the common bar
berry should be destroyed this month,
before the ground freezes. In many
cases the barberry bushes have been
hacked of above ground but the roots
still live. If the roots are not dug up
now they will sprout again next spring
when the farm work will be too heavy
to permit Of digging them. In the
spring the black stem rust infection
leaves the barberry and goes to the
small grains. All preventive work
should be done before this stage is
reached.
Look over drainage systems. Octo
Der Is the n: >nth to look over the tile
drainage systems to see that they are
going into the winter in good shape
and will be ready for business early
in the spring. The outlet of each sys.
tenn should be absolutely clear of any
obstruction. II there is an open ditch
at the outlet 1t should be burned out
clean this fall so that little sno will
lodge in 1t during the winter. Snow
blowing into a small open ditch be-
comes ice before spring and this ice
must melt out before the ditch will
open up to full carrying capacity.

Something Must Be Done About 1t
Me-o-my,

Along about the time that Hector was a pup, we began to
hear about our forests, and the need for conserving them.
Something must be done about 1t, according to the forward
looking souls. or by and by we wouldn't have the forests.
The wasteful numbering went on unmolested. The time
OF retribution was too remote. 1t couldn't be visuanzed.
There seemed ample timber for log cabins, lumber, and
what little paper pulp was needed.
Then came Roosevelt, and with him Clifford Pinchot, and
they did about all that HAS been done about it. The estab-
lishment of a forestry service has been a step in the right
direction.
But what has been done has only taken lumber require
ments into consideration. And in the last twenty years pulp
operations have reached a consumption eclipsing all former
demands upon the raw material.
CANS. CARTONS, PACKING CASES, BOTTLES, FURNI.
TURF, CLOTHING, WALL BOARD, PALS, BARRELS
FIFTEEN HUNDRED ARTICLES OF PAPER PULP, USE
THREE TIMES THE PAPER FORMERLY USED.
THE GREATEST FOREST FIRE WE EVER EXPERT.
ENCED DID NOT CONSUME THE TIMBER WE SACRIFICE
DAILY IN THE WASTEFUL DECORATION OF SMALL
PACKAGES OF STAPLE FOODS.
The newspapers require a further enormous quantity
daily. None Is replaced. There is only one wood pulp mate
result in second growth hardwood.
And now we are told the end must come in twenty years!
Are we eventually going to do something about it?
Or are we going to continue to cruelty the press of the
United States upon the cross OF paper packaged goods, and
go back to the hammer and stone chisel for education!
There Is one way the everyday citizen may help the stu.
alton, and at the same time lower the cost Of living to himself.
DEMAND GOODS IN BULK!
