In His Travels From Cali

ington Is Choice
SATSUMA GROWS
MUCH BETTER HERE
Remarks by Felix Bachemin
and MIR. Bruner of State
Farm Bureau

In the courthouse at Covington
last Saturday morning were gather
ed what may be truly called the agri-
cultural brains of st. Tammany par
ish.. In numbers they were very
few, SO few, in fact, that President
structed Acting Secretary w. E.
Fazende not to record the proceed
ings of the meeting, but to immedi-
ately send out notices for general
meeting to take place Saturday, De-
eember 10, at the courthouse in Gov
ington.
The members of the Farm Bureau
present were given an interesting
talk :hy Mr.. Paul Friedlander on
''Satsumas, Their Prolific and Profit
able Growth in This Parish" Mr..
Friedlander's talk in part, follows:
Gentlemen, before came to Gov
ington and St. Tammany parish; I
travelled extensively, looking for a
location to settle. In my travels |
went from Florida to California and
from California back to Covington.
In Covington adjoining country I
found the spot on which in my
dreams I had set my heart to plant
a grove which would produce orang-
es-in quantities to rival the orch
ards of Florida and California. /
found the location in Covington. My
grove was Satsumas."
: In the course of his talk he said:
THAT Satsumas could be grown here
for less money and in less time than
any other location he knew of.
"Satsumas grated on trifoliata
does not grow everywhere, but thrive
in limited area from Mobile to the
Ozone Belt of Louisiana. Trifoliata
Goes not grow in all. kinds Of soils,
but the soil of St. Tammany parish
seems to be the proper foundation
for healthy trifoliata growth, and
Satsumas budded or grated on these
trifoliatas will grow much better
and bigger here. Satsumas 10 years
old have grown TO twenty feet in
diameter.
That Satsumas never knew crop
failure is evidenced by the groves in
and near Mobile, where they have
been marketing the fruit for the past
ten or twelve years. There is no
reason why the same cannot be done
here.'
In conclusion, Mr.. Friedlander
stressed the fact that the Satsuma
unlike the peach was not perishable.
The orange is standard crop and is
universally demanded. That the
older a Satsuma grove grew the
more prolific it became and the bet
ter the quality of the fruit.
He stated that the Citrus Associa-
tion of Mobile would gladly take in
hand the marketing of our crop. He
has the most explicit faith in Sat-
sumas, and every dollar that he can
beg, borrow, or otherwise lay his
hand on, will go to plant Satsumas
and more Satsumas.
Mr.. Felix Bachemin, Jr., agricul-
tural agent of the N. 0. G. NJ, made
a few remarks on his trip to Birm-
ingham where he attended the
Southern Fruit and Vegetable Mark
citing Conference.
Mr.. E. L. Bruner, supervisor of the
district for the Louisiana State Farm
also attended and made a
few fitting remarks. Among others
in attendance were Warren Pierce,

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Not every woman knows how to
make bed properly, although her lin
en- closet may be enviably well illed
with all the necessary sheets, pillow
cases, and coverings. The home dem
onstration agents of the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State Agricultural colleges are en-
couraging clubs of girls to furnish and
care for their own rooms, and these
are the directions they give for correct
bed making:
First, straighten the mattress pad
so that it lies smooth and without
wrinkles. Over this spread the under
sheet, right side up. with the wide
hem at the head and the center of the
sheet to the center of the bed. The
comfort of a bed depends in large
measure on tucking In the under sheet
so securely that 1t remains smooth
and straight Making mitered corners
is one of the best ways of doing this,
and any person who has had nurses
training can quickly show you how
to make them. Next, put on the up
per sheet right side down, and allow
ing for a generous turnover at the
head tuck it in at the foot, using mi
tered corners. Then, put on the blank
cts so that their top edge comes about
inches below the head of the bed;
turn the upper sheet back and tuck
in all edges. Last of all, put on the
spread, draw 1t smooth and straight,
and arrange the pillows.

COOKING YOUNG COTTONTAILS
Meat May Be Satisfactorily substi-
tuted for Beef in Goulash and
Other Mixtures.

Young cottontail or other rabbits
may be cooked in any of the ways
chicken is prepared, and their meat
may be satisfactorily substituted for
beef or mutton in goulash and other
stewed mixtures of meat and vege-
tables. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has thoroughly
tested the following recipe for jugged
hare: Belgian hair, jack rabbit, or
wild rabbit may be used.
Clean the hare, remove the tough
skin and membranes covering meat.
Cut into pieces of about pinch lengths /;
cut " pound of bacon into dice of
about half an inch square. In plate
mix teaspoonfuls salt, l teaspoonful
black pepper, teaspoonfuls flour, "
teaspoonful thyme, 1 bay leaf broken
or crushed, 3 teaspoonfuls finely
chopped onions, 1 teaspOonful grated
nutmeg, and pinch of ground cloves.
Roll the diced bacon and one-fOurth of
the meat of the hare in this mixture.
In a saucepan melt 2 teblespoonfuls of
butter, or lard and butter mixed;
when hot add the bacon and all the
meat, brown nicely, add little hot
water or soup stock and simmer for
u hour

HOW TO CLEAN FURS AT HOME
Wash in Gasoline or in Suds Made
With CASTLE Soap-Hane
Out Doors to Dry.

Furs may be cleaned by washing in
gasoline or in suds made with CASTLE
soap and little borax, followed by
several rinsings in clear water, is a
helpful suggestion from the Biological
Survey, United States Department OF
Agriculture. 1t Is best to hang them
out of doors to dry. When dry or
nearly so, they require to be stretched
and rubbed on the flesh side to make
them pliable again.
Fur garments may be frightened by
sponging them with gasoline and then
rubbing corn meal into the fur while
it is still damp to take up the particles
of dirt that have been loosened. Gas
oline should never be used, of course,
where its fumes can come in contact
with fire.
Another way of cleaning fur super
ficially is by means of naphthalene
crystals thoroughly rubbed into 1t.
The pulverized crystals and the dirt
which has been dislodged may be re-
moved by whipping, brushing with
whisk broom, or by vacuum cleaner.

A campaign to improve the diet

was recently conducted in Akron, o.
AS a preliminary step 1,011 children
were weighed and measured under
the direction of school authorities. OF
these children So per cent were un-
derweight, nearly fourth of these
being more than 10 per cent under
weight. On the suggestion of the
home demonstration agent of the Uni

and the other underweight children
were merely taught how to improve

OF the second month it was found
that 81 per cent of all the children
underweight had made some gain.
Plan Balanced Meals.
At this time the agent met with the
mothers of these children to demon
strate the results of improved diet
and to explain how to plan balanced
