WINTER SPORTS
HEALTH BUILDERS
Parents Urged to Turn Chill
dren Loose in Snow

L.
children Of outdoor play in winter
were discussed by Dr. III. l.. X. Shaw,
consulting pediatrician of the state
department of health, in talk broad
cast recently from Station WGY at
Schenectady. Doctor Shaw believes
that children need to get outdoors in
winter even more than in summer Ow
ing to the fact that they spend so
much time in crowded schOolrooms
and overheated homes.
'"There was widespread belief not
so many years ago." said DR.. Shaw,
''that cold air and night air were in
furious to health and were to be
avoided. Many people used to follow
the example Of the bear and the wood
chuck, who crawl into their holes and
sleep all winter without fresh air
This was bad enough for the adults
but, worse still, it sets bad example
to their children.
'"The change Of popular opinion In
regard to fresh air and ventilation
came when 1t was found that fresh
air, which in the northern states dur
ing winter is often cold air, Is the best
and surest cure for tuberculosis. Now
this fresh air sentiment has extended
to the homes and to the schools
School authorities recognize the need
for fresh air, but unfortunately on &C.
count Of lack of space in the city
schools only a relatively few children
are afforded the advantages Of open
air classes. These are generally re-
stricted to children who are under
nourished, debilitated or diseased. 1t
has been definitely proved that chill
dren who attend these open-air classes
or who study in differentiated school
rooms are better scholars, more alert
and show better powers of concentra.
ton.
"You should urge your child by ex-
ample and precept to love the open In
the winter. Outdoors in winter offers
just as much fun as In summer and Is
just as comfortable for the child, pro
vided he is dressed for the part. In
the cold weather 1t Is not necessary
to be overlooked and overburdened
with outside coverings. Do not dress
your child as though he we're going to
the Arctic regions in search Of the
North pole. Comfortable mittens for
the hands, ears protected and feet
kept warm and dry are the essential
points for winter outdoor dress. Exer-
else, whether playing, running or
walking, keeps the body warm and
brings healthy glow to the skin.
Rain or snow will not harm your
child, provided he is properly dressed
and protected. There is a real ex-
hilaration in walking in rainstorm {;
the raindrops striking the face are a
wonderful tonic for the complexion.
Walking briskly in the winter is ex-
cellent exercise, but it is not popular
with the ordinary school child; it is
too much like work and he sees no fun
in 1t. Do not let your child be sit
blythe fire."

Poverty Sure To Result.
Have A Community Laundry.

1t is hard to imagine what would
be the effect on dairy farming if ev-
cry creamery should cease opera
tions. Certainly one of the results
would be rapid and serious reduc-
ton in the number of dairy cattle on
our farms.
The day when every farmer churn-
ed all his cream is past. We have
found it much more economical and
profitable to operate cream separa.
tor instead of a churn and sell our
cream to the ne;ghboring creamery.
To go back to the old method would
be decidedly inconvenient. 1t would
be decidedly expensive. 1t would en-
tirely demoralize all our present and
efficient methods of conducting dairy
farms. 1t would make the successful
operation Of a large dairy farm i'm
possible unless we were willing to
build and operate our own creamery
at an expense which would prove too
heavy for many of us.
A community laundry is almost as
essential as community creamery.
Why should "Blue Monday" have a
place on the calendar of the farmers
wife? Why should "Mother" be COM
PEELED to suffer all the hardships and
inconvenience of doing the family
washing? A community laundry can
do it better than she can do it. If we
take into account her time and the
danger to her health, a community
laundry can do it cheaper.
A community laundry is as prac-
teal as a community creamery. For
years such a laundry has been in sue
cessful operation at Chatfield, MINI.
An addition was built to the cream
cry at Chatfeld and community
laundry association organized with
capital stock Of $4,000. The stock
sold at SIS share. The equipment
cost $4,000. The only additional help
needed was superintendent, fore
man, five or six girls and a delivery
man.
Farmers wives send in their fami-
ly washings along with their cream.
1t is returned along with the empty
cream cans. Town work is collected
and delivered in the usual way.
Farmers have their family washing
done for six cents a pound. Town
people pay 10 per cent more for deliv-
cry. About 200 families patronize the
laundry each month. Fully half are
farmers. The average cost of each
family washing is $1.37.
The plan has worked most success
fully. 1t has made house work light
Ell for the farmers wife. 1t has made
farm life more pleasant. It has done
much to keep girls on the farm.
What the Chatleld community has
done, other communities can do.

AGRICULTURE
Crop Rotation Essential If We Would
Increase Production.

Crop Rotation Essential If We would
Increase Production.
Rotation of crops means dverslfi-
cation and diversified farming is safe
farming. Crop rotation lessons the
risk Of failure; increases the sources
of income.
We cannot expect to make profit
from farming by growing only one
crop and devoting two-thirds Of our
time to doing it.
Crop rotation distributes farm
work throughout the entire year. 1t
menas steady employment-m eff
cient farm help.
Rotation Maintains Fertility.
Crop rotation, including the grow
ing of alfalfa, clovers or other le-
gumes, and the raising of live stock
maintains soil fertility. Whenever
we have crop rotation, we have live
stock; whenever we have live stock
we have crop rotation. The two are
inseparable. Not only do they main
tain soil fertility, but they improve,
the condition of the soil.
Weeds, insect pests and plant dis
eases flourish whenever we follow a
one-crop system. Rotation keeps
down the weeds, starves out many de-
structive insects and helps to elimi-
nate plant diseases.
Rotation gives us variety of feed;
makes the raising of live stock more
profitable; gives US something to sell
every week in the year.
In wide sections where the one
crop system predominates, there is no
country home life, few children and
few country schools. There may be
great fields but the soil is "sick"-un-
productive. Erosion of the soil is
common; there are no big red barns,
no silos, no modern homes. Neglect
and decay are evident everywhere.
Poverty Sure To Result.
Soil robbery means poverty-pover-
ty not only for ourselves but for our
children and our children's children.
We only hold the land in trust for
those who come after us. We must
turn it over to others in as good con-
dition as we found it.
The future welfare of our commu-
nifty and our State-the future of A
merica depends upon our being good
|stewards.
