The funeral of Irving Brown, II, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Brown of
West Springfield. Mass, was held Tues
day afternoon at go o'clock at the
church.
Irving Brown was thrown from his
bicycle about four years ago and injured
his head. He never recovered from the
injury although he underwent an oper-
alton in the Massachusetts General hos
pital. Four months ago he grew worse
and died Saturday at his home in West
Springfield.
Part of his boyhood was spent with
his parents in South Vernon. Besides
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Brown, he leaves two sisters, Mrs.
George L. DeLoriea of Chicago and Mrs.
G. Il. Crandall of Springfield. Mass.
Rev. Alfred Evans officiated at the fu-
neral and F.. w. Dunlilee sang two selec-
tions, Nearer, My God, TO Thee, and

were many beautiful flowers. The bear
ers were cousins, Ralph and Hugh Parks
of Keene, n. H., and Dwight and Law
renee Johnson. The burial took place
in the private cemetery of the Brown
family.

organized through the activity of the
county agent to encourage sheep grow
ing, to pool the wool crop, and to fight
the wolf menace. This organization
took steps to encourage the intrOduc-
tion of purebred stock, and held a CO.
operative ram sale, at which all the
grade rams owned by members of the
association were sold and replaced by
purebreds.
Boys and girls club members have
been encouraged to form sheep clubs
and grow sheep, with marked success.
Local banks have helped to finance
these clubs, accepting the notes of club
members and letting them run from
TO 21a years in order to enable
the club members to establish small
f1ockS and sell wool and surplus lambs
before settling their Indebtedness.

shown much personal interest in the
work and have cO-Operated with ex-

Recognizing the adaptability of sheep
to a wide range of territory, extension

ment of Agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges have steadily en-
cOuraged the maintenance of flock
Of sheep in addition to other live
stock on the farm in sections where
farm f1Ocks can be prOftably handled.
The introduction of purebred stock
and the establishing of breeding t1ocks
has been an important feature of ex-
tension work in Connecticut and Penn
sylvania in the East, and in Utah,
Washington state, and New Mexico
in the West.
Ram Club Comprises Three Flocks.
In Pennsylvania purebred ram clubs
nave been organized and are operating
successfully. These clubs consist of
three units of farm fiOcks each. A ram
is purchased for each unit. He is
used in each unit two years and then
transferred from one unit to another
until he has been used in all three
units of the club. The county agent
in Mexican county aided in organiz-
ing three ram clubs during 1920, pro
viding nine good rams of Shropshire
breeding for the flocks of members
of these clubs All of these rams are
grandsOns of Minton's 81, one of the
greatest show rams at the Interna-
tional in the past few years. Rape
pasture is being used tG fatten lambs.
These clubs will also procure purebred
Shropshire ewes, so thai each member
will eventually have q purebred flock.
Through the assistance given by the
sheep specialist at the state agricul-
| tural college nine ram clubs we're or
ganized in Pennsylvania during 1920
$1,000 worth of purebred sheep were
selected and purchased by farmers
in the state in this connection. Sup
plementing the organization of these
associations and the Introduction of
new stock, 35 shearlng, docking, and
dipping demonstrations were held, at
tended by over 700 people.
Utah has made notable progress in
making the farm flock a factor Of i'm

Iron county, where practically all the
rams are now purebred, the sheep
breeders have concentrated on the
Rambouillet and grow enough stock
of this breed to supply largely the

Deep, rich sandy loan, with a lib

best suited for growing globe arti-

soil is warm in the spring, and when
the plants have formed three or four
leaves they may be transplanted to
rows three feet apart and two feet
apart in the row. The plants do not

SQUASHES IN HOME GARDENS
Smail-Growing Plants Are Best Suited
for Average Garden-Use While
Young and Tender.

Two distinct types of squashes are
commonly grown in home gardens
the summer squashes, the fruits of
which are used while they are young
and tender, and the fall and winter
squashes, which are ripened and used
during the winter months. The small
growing summer squashes are best
adapted to planting in the average gar
den. The larger, or standard, varie-
ties are better adapted to field culture,
although one or two hills might be
planted in a corner or along one side
of the garden. The hills in which sum-
mer squashes are grown should be
fully four feet apart and a little ma
nure and fertilizer should be worked
into each hill as it is being made.

demand in southern Utah for pure
bred animals. An outgrowth of this
work is the Rambouillet sheep show,
which is annually the big feature of
the county fair in iron county and
at which the competition among sheep
breeders is exceedingly keen. The
county agent in this county co-operates
actively with breeders in selecting and
improving the management of the
breeding stock.
Market Wool in State Pool.
In number of states county agents
have urged successfully an increase in
the number of farm f1ocks kept. John
son County, Neb., where the number of
farmers keeping sheep was more than
doubled in 1920, is a notable example.
Although the condition of the wool
market was discouraging, one group
of 16 farmers in this county shipped
a total of 5000 pounds of wool to the
state wool pool. In Jasper County,

FRUIT JUICE POWDERS

It would be very convenient to keep
in the pantry fruit juices in the form
of dry powders, so that one could mix
a glass of lemonade or Orangeade or
other beverage offhand. They would

patented process for making such pow
ders consists in mixing the fruit juice
with gelatinized starch and reducing

did well. The same problem was met
in a different fashion at Padillas, Ber-

with a goat for a mother.
The outlook for an increase in the
number of farm flOcks generally
throughout the United States is promis-
