CONTEST Determines
BEST BADGER CITIES

Six main services which town can
and should render the depending sur
rounding communities are made the
basis for judging the 'town and coun-
try relations part Of the better city
contest which is now being held in
Wisconsin.
These services are economic, educa-
tional, religious, social, communica-
ton and organization. They especially
apply to what is called the general
trade areas of the town. This area
takes in the territory between the town
and the families farthest away who
trade regularly for staple supplies at
the town.
Committeeman Are Named.
These service relations have been
worked out for the contest by a COM
lnittee composed of j. III. Kolb, agri-
cultural economics; ]. A. James, agri-
cultural education, and J. S. Donald,
agricultural economics; all of the Wis
consin College of Agriculture; J. f..
Cunningham, Wisconsin agriculturist,
Racine; E. Tetreau, rural service sec
retary. Wesley foundation, Madison !;
Theodore Macklin, agricultural eco
nomics; w. A. Summer, agricultural
journalism; A. M. Wiledon, agricul-
fural economics, Wisconsin College of
Agriculture; and A. G. Fielder, First
National Bank and Central Wisconsin
Trust company, Madison.
Under the economic service, the
committee considers merchandising,
the sale of goods; marketing, the pur-
chase of farm products, and financing.
Good selling service meets the needs
of tba farmer members of the COM
munity as well as those of the city
residents. Merchandising supplies
enough purchasers for the products,
but not so many that costs on small
volume of business are too small.
Financing provides credit and banking
faculties suited to the farmers needs
as we'll as to the city business man.
Need Rural Minded Men.
Good schools giving courses helpful
TO country children, public library priv
leges the same as the city enjoys, and
Iyceum and lecture courses which take
in the rural residents are classed I'M
der educational services Religious
services include membership in the city
churches by country residents, and CO.
onara+,on with rural religious organiza-
kions by the city.
Social services not only provide

Federal Grades
of Big Benefit
Standardization Of Farm
Products Attaining Ma
tional Importance.


prepared by, the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Standardization of farm products Is
rapidly attaining national and interna-
tional Importance, declares the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Federal grades are now available for
80 kinds of fruits and vegetables, one
or more of which grades have been
adopted by 25 states for use in intra-
state as well as in interstate COM
merce.
Value of Grades.
The departments standardization
program was started, in 1915 with the
establishment Of a telegraphic market
news service covering most of the
leading consuming markets in the
country Federal grades were pre-
pared for Bermuda onions and pota-
toes, use of the latter being made COM
pulsory by. the food administration.
The value of the potato grades was
found to be such that with the termi-
nation of the food administration the
trade continued the voluntary use Of
the grades. and it is estimated that
at least 80 per cent of the total ship
ments of potatoes in the United States
are now quoted on the basis of the
federal grades.
Further stimulus was given the
Standardization program when the
United States food products inspection
service was started in 1917. This
service provided for federal inspection
Of shipments at receiving points when
such inspection should be requested
by any of the persons interested in
the shipments. Grading laws that had
been long dormant were brought out
and shaken to life. BY 1921 federal
grades had been recommended for 10
different fruits and vegetables, and
had been widely adopted by the states.
Service Extended.
The following year the inspection
service was extended to shipping
points, and tremendous demand de-
veloped for additional standards for
fruits and vegetables The grades
now cover 80 commodities and the
end is not yet, say department officials
in charge of the work. Growers of
artichokes, romaine, raspberries, ruta-
bagas, escarolle, garlic and other
commodities are requesting federal
grades for their products. The grades
are also now being recognized abroad
as evidenced by the trade preference
given American products that have
been officially inspected and for
which inspection certificates as to
quality and condition have been is
sued.
The recent accession of interest in
standard grades On the part of east
ern products is pointed out as a mo-
table development in the standardiza-
ton program. In Virginia, for ex-
ample, 500 apple growers this year
have organized Standardization rings
and are collectively advertising their
brand in connection with the federal
grades. The Georgia peach crop this
year for the first time was packed
on the United States grades, approx
imately 5000 cars being inspected and
certified at shipping point on this
basis.

Ventilation Is Problem
in Good Poultry House

Ventilation is one of the big prob
lens in a poultry house. When the
chickens, after they have become ac-
customed enough to chicken house
to return to it at night to roost, insist
on perching themselves upon the win
dow stills and in other openings in the
house there is something wrong Quite
often the ventilation is at fault and
the chickens try to roost where they
are most comfortable. Don't close a.
poultry house up tight with the COM
ing of cool weather, but allow as much
fresh air as possible to get into the
house. Drafts should be avoided but
circulation of fresh air should be pro-
vided for.-Extension Service, Colo
RADIO Agricultural College.

Isolate New Animals

Probably the greatest carrier of dis
ease is the new animal that is brought
on the farm. Any new animal should
be isolated for 15 to 80 days or even
longer, depending on circumstances.
Hogs may be disinfected by dipping or
spraying with coal tar dip Of some
kind. Sheep and cattle may be dipped
in a similar manner before being
brought onto the farm.

Feed Hogs Tankage

Tankage is not substitute for corn
but should be used, to supplement it in
hog feeding. 1t replaces a large part
of the corn and insures satisfactory
and economical gains which the farm
er with a short crop of corn cannot
afford to neglect. At the present
price of grain, tankage is probably
the cheapest feed considering results
obtained.

Plant These in the Open

Sow early on open ground, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, some of these flowers: Alyssum,
California poppy, candytuft, corn
flower, poppy and sweet alyssum. And
later, after the ground is warm, the
following are successful planted in the
open ground: Castor-bean, sorghum,
milo, feterita, Indian corn, garden ball
sam, portulaca and four-o clock.

Mash Feeding Overdone

Mash feeding is wonderful asset
in the right place but can often be
overdone. A properly compiled mash
will mature pullets too quickly when
fed in unlimited quantities. A proper
proportion between mash and grain
feeding is necessary for best results.
One needs to feed rather heavy on
grain and then allow as much mash
in addition as they will consume. I'm
der some conditions the hopper feed
ing of grain as well as mash is adj
visahle.

Don'ts for Dairymen

Don't milk with wet or dirty
hands.
Don't fail to bed the cows so
they will keep clean.
Don't forget the cows appre-
ciate kind treatment.
Don't feed ill-smelling feeds
just before milking.
Don't fail to cool the cream
before putting it with other
cream.
Don't forget that the pure bred
animal can be kept just as
cheaply as the scrub.
Don't forget that a little care
in combing and cleaning the ami
mails will be appreciated.
Don't forget that dairying is
one of the most profitable
branches of farming if you give
it your best attention. &C. H.
Chesley.

Make Hens Exercise

Feed the grain in a deep lit
ter on the floor and make the
hens exercise for it. The mash
may be fed either wet or dry,
and should be SO regulated that
the fowls will get about equal
parts of mash and Of the scratch
grains. 1t is necessary to give
the fowls plenty to eat to get
good results, but the birds
should always be eager for each
feed. In cold weather feed
about one-third of the scratch
grains in the morning and two
thirds at night. In this way the
hens are forced to exercise more
than if they receive all file grain
they desire at the morning feed.

Room for Expansion

Within the 1853 Wisconsin COW test
ing associations are found 76,101 cows
on yearly test owned by All dairy
farmers. These figures appear large,
but, when we consider that Wisconsin
has 2,217OOO dairy cows owned Dy
17S,000 farmers, we begin to realize
how much more work there is to be
done IN the future.

"At first it was awfully hard work,
but after a little while it began to be
easier. Then l tried writing little
scraps of verse, and now I'm reaching
the stage where / think I'm a poet. +"
You'll find, if you study vocal cul-
ture. that you have to know what
you're going to do before you try to
do it. When new girls are being train.
ed for the "Follies" he ones who have
had the most thorough training as
dancers are of course the easiest ones
to teach. The girls who have neglected
their work when they we're studying
technique are likely to follow the man
who is training them, they just do
what he does. After they have learned
the steps, they put their own person
atty into what they are doing.
But the Sirls who have learned the
technique of dancing know what they
are ABOUT from the very start. They've
learned the alphabet of dancing.
whereas the other girls are like chill
dren who try to spell without knowing
the alphabet.
Now, you'll find that az you put our
mind on the production If the right
tones, you're waking it up. You'll
notice that you're more alive, because
you're using your mental equipment
in a new way.
Find Your Own Voice.
But don't. / beg Of you, make for
yourself a voice thai doesn't belong
to you.
One OF the most important things
to remember is that, just as your looks
are of a certain type, your voice must
run true TO form also. If you're the
senorita type. contralto voice will
probably be the one that belongs to|
you. Or perhaps your voice will bel
a meZzo sporano.
II you're a very light blonde, a high,

Do You Know When to Keep Still?

in their 'teens-about sixteen and
eighteen years old. respectively-and
their mother has their career all out
lined for them. They are to marry
millionaires.
II wish you could see them" this
friend of mine exclaimed to me, with
despair in his voice. They're young
elephants. The elder stands about five
feet seven, and weighs a little over
two hundred. The younger is shorter,
and fatter. can't even guess at her
weight.
The girls have fairly good features,
fairly good compilations. But lazy!
Never have seen anything like them.
When they're in a room adjoining the
one you're in. and you hear them
speak, you know from their fat, thick
voices what they're like. Their minds
are as sluggish as their bodies.
live heard that woman say that
she didn't understand why chorus
girls so frequently marry wealthy
men, She said that she supposed
it must be the lure of the stage.
l longed to tell her that the aver
age chorus girl is alert, mentally;
that she works hard; that she has
to be right on the job every minute
of every day. and doesn't over look
single bet when it comes to making
herself attractive
I'll digress BIT, if you don't
mind; important as. beautiful voices
are. I'd like 10 pause and say just
one more word on the subject this
friend of mine was taking about.
If you begin to,cultivate your voice.
you'll find that you will have to Guilt
vate other things as well. Being in
good trim physically is going to help
you to improve your voice. And you
can't do it if you're fat. Here's lit
tie table that will help you to deter
mine whether or not you're overweight.
This table was compiled according
to the old Greek standard, which is
a pretty good one to follow NOWADAYS.
Our standards are a little different,
of course; especially in this country,
there's an. inclination toward extreme
slenderness.

This is thing that you'll have
to decide for yourself, or, if you have
good singing teacher, your problem
will be solved for you.
But-be sure it's solved right. Don't
let yourself admire your teachers
voice SO much that you produce a mere
imitation of it. II you do, your voice
is going to be affected, empty, a
challenge TO people not to like you.
The right voice will be potent fac
tor in making you more beautiful.
Don't neglect it.
Concerning Keeping Still.
If you Just can't make your voice
over. keep still rs much as possible.
That MAJ seem like brutal advice,
but it isn't. After all. the girl VINO

Not long ago a young man whom
/ know was talking to me about a

to talk 10 her, or what is it,"
Il don't know" he answered. "She
doesn't talk much" She has big
gray eyes, and she looks up at you
and says: DO tell me all about your
self" and you do, and then when you
stop, she signs and says: oh, how
wonderful Do tell me more about
yourself" And then she just sits and
listens" tts
She knew when 20 keep still. YOU
see. And even after all this advice
that I've given you about cultivating
a beautiful voice, I'm going to add one
last warning that may seem TO dis
