mission has finished compiling agric-
ultural statistics gathered by the as
SCISSORS of the various counties of the

farmers Of the state to give up the
practice of raising spring wheat.
and an enlargement of the corn and
alfalfa acreage.
There is also a marked increase in
nearly every county of the state, in

HOME EXTENSION CLUB WORK


The home extension clubs of Hand
county put on the final contest at the
Tabernacle, st. Lawrence Grove, Aug.
10Th, with about 200 ladies in attend
ance.
OF Wheaton, Mrs. A. A. Miller, leader,
gave a sewing demonstration and the
Sunbeam girls club, Mrs. Roy Rush,
leader, gave a foods demonstration.
The girls clubs members also
brought individual exhibits of their
work, making a very pleasing and in
teresting display. This is an impor-
tant and worthy part of extension
work and offers the opportunity for
leaders to accomplish lasting bene-
fits In the education and training OF
the young people in their communi-
ties. An increased number of such
clubs is expected for the ensuing
year.
In the afternoon four excellent
foods demonstrations were given by
women's teams for the various dis
tricts of the county. The honor OF
representing Hand county at the state
fair. Wednesday, September 18th. is
held by the team from st. Lawrence
Pearl township, Mrs. Bert Humphrey,
chairman. Mrs. Frank K. Thompson
and Mrs. Fred McPhail comprise this
team. Their subject, Milk and Milk
Dishes, brought forth practical meth
DDS Of using liberal quantities of milk
for everyday cooking, making tempt
ing dishts tor each meal. A variety
of delicious milk drinks were prepar-
ed showing how children may be en-
couraged to form the habit of using
more milk.
The other three teams put on ex-
cellent lessons in food selection,
showing the true food values and how
to supply the various needs of the
body.
The School Lunch, a timely topic,
was very well handled. The additional
hot dish to be prepared at the school
shows what may be done to supple
ment the shortcomings of the average
school dinner. To bring an addition
al vegetable in good repute and to
add a new value to a very common
place one is what wa achieved for
spinach and the carrot by one demon
/ stration. The essential food elem
ents provided by these two vegetables
was well explained and their palat-
able qualities proven by sampling the
products of the demonstration.
The Importance of the use Of grain
products in our daily food was well
brought cut in carefully prepared and
daintily served cereals in various
forms. A practical knowledge of the
value of cereal foods in body building
and health regulation and a deter
minat.on tc make the most of this
knowledge in the home was the key
note of this demonstration.
A vote was taken on the project for
the ensuing year, resulting almost
unanimously in favor of Second Year

the stage of maturity of the corn is
the farmer to discover early ears
which are free from disease and
which come from ~disease-free stalks.
The heavy ears, which hang down
from the stalk, shedding the rain and
preventing entrance of disease spores
are the ones which should be selected,
according TO state college agrono-
.mists. Care should be taken to select
ripe ears, not big late maturing ears
which are full of sap. The ears
should have ripened normally, not
Just have dried up due to attacks Of
fungus at the root or in the stalk or
n the ear itself.
Early September is also urged as
the proper time for seed corn selec-
ton for the reason that this is the
time preceding the general corn har-
vest, after which it is not possible
to secure ear selection from the field.
Field selection has many advantages
ever crib selection of seed.
Two methods of carrying the seed
cars out of the field are suggested
by the agronomy department. One is
to hang a grain sack ove the Shout
Ter and put the ears into it as rapidly
rs they are picked while walking be-
tween the rows. In this way two or
more rows NAV be observed each time
through the field. Another way is to
have a reliable horse hitched to a
low-wheeled narrow cart, or a sled
fitted with a box into which the seed
,ars can be put as they are husked.
It is worth while using horse power
If the amount of corn to be gathered
is considerable.

 IMPOSING VIEWS UPON GOVT

Seattle Jan. 1-Ashmun Brown oi it's Washington staff wires the Times in part as follows;
 Because the Pinchot School of Qonseryationists is again success frlly imposing it's ideas upon the government of the United States. the wholesale plan for reorganiza- ton of the government on a scienti- ifs business line has been left, and efforts to encourage development principally that of the federal terri tory of Alaska. has been brought to naught. The administration has discovered that to establish these reforms would entail a bitter and intense political battle that would be nation wide in it's scope. There fore the government has concluded that in view of the other fights it now has on it's hands. and other wholesome policies it desires to es- tablish. fame is not worth the can de.
 The same sort of fight as is threat ened contributed to the destruction 0: the Taft administration.
