being urged by the officials Of the
Exchange to stendardize on one va
riety-Tuxpan-which exchange men,
bers assert has been demonstrated
the most profitable for Valley grow
SO.
corn shipments from the Valley have
often brought a low price on the
market as a result Of the great va
riety and the difference in size and
maturity Of corn in a car. The plan
Of the Exchange is to c the CO.
operation Of members in standard
iZation, assuring uniform ears.
This feature was discussed at the
meeting of the Exchange last week,
and the following letter addressed
to all members Of the organization:
At a meeting Of the board Of d.
rectors of the exchange. IL was con-
cluded that the most profitable va
riety of corn for we farmers in the
Valley to plant Is Tuxpan.
This corn will give van the best
yield-not only in quantity but In
size Of ear. II will take only from
four to four and one-half dozen OF
Tuxpan to fill a bushel. whereas
some others require from five to five
and one-half dozens. Another point

Small Tom Girl Excels City Sister
as Cook-She "Knows Her Groceries

Small town girls are better
looks than their city sisters"
This is the decision Of Miss
dabel Stegner, domestic science
expert, of New York. after review.
ng some thousands Of manuscripts
received in a contest held among
domestic science students in high
schools.
Not only are the girls in small
towns more interested in the ways
and means Of preparing tasty
dishes. Miss Stegner found. but
they understand better the action
of the ingredients that go into
their cooking and generally reveal
a domestic bent not evidenced By
their city sisters. As the current
slang phrase has it-they know
their groceries"
The interest Of American girls
In culinary science probably was
never better guaged than by this
contest, In which a free trip to
Europe was given the winner BY
the Royal Baking Powder Co:
While the contest itself was based
specifically on the subject Of why
baking powder made with cream
# tartar is best, the preparation
If the papers required not only a
theoretical. but a practical knowl-
edge Of cooking. particularly OF
baking, and an understanding OF
dietetics and kitchen chemistry.
Almost without exception. the
judges found. the work Of girls
from small-town schools excelled
that of girls from large cities. OF
the Is manuscripts selected for
serious consideration. for instance,
Just two came from cities Of over
100000. Of the 10 from which the
final selection was made. not one
came from a town of over 10000.

ion of Miss Stegner, is that each
