HONEY COMING INTO
IT'S OWN AS REAL FOOD

'To give the facts about honey
as food product is to speak words of
praise, and to praise honey would
seem to be a case of giving sweets
to the sweet something apparently
quite unnecessary" says DR.. M c.
Tanquary, who is in charge of bee
culture studies at University Farm
"Yet in spite of the fact that honey
is one of the oldest forms of sweet,
having been used in biblical times,
centuries before modern sugars came
into existence, and in spite of the
fact that famous physicians and die
titians have urged it's use as a natur-
al sweet and most healthful food
there are thousands of homes in which
honey is practically unknown.
'This is largely due to the fact
that in the past honey has been to a
great extent seasonal product and
that the comparatively small amount
produced was quickly bought up and
used. Another factor in causing its
limited use is that honey has been
produced by a number of compare
lively small producers, none of whom
could afford to put on large adver-

up FLORISTS DEVELOP
HARDY EARLY "MUMS'

Crossing hardy varieties with early
ones, Louis Sando, assistant in horti-
culture at University Farm, and
students in his classes have developed
chrysanthemum that bears a pro-
fusion of blossoms early in the sea-
son and that in every way seems to
be hardy and dependable whether
grown under glass or in the open.
The new mum" is as yet known
only by number, 80, but flower
growers who have studied it through
several seasons commend it highly
and urge that it be given permanent
name. No. 80 bears large clusters of
pinkish blossoms which vary in size,
are well separated, and are very at
tractive in their setting of heavy dark
green foliage. The stalks are stout
and strong and grow freely, holding
the foliage their entire length. The
roots have proved their hardness in
severe winter weather.
Some work has been done with
NUNS" at the University Farm
greenhouses and in class rooms for
four or five years, says Mr.. Sando, to
meet a demand for hardy, outstanding
plants that will furnish larger and
better flowers earlier in the, season
than the commonly grown varieties.
Several others, in addition to No. 80,
are of much promise.

the goals for next years Junior Live
stock Show-for a bigger and better
show even than the one just held at
South ST. Paul.
The 1928 show, estimated by T. A.
Erickson, state club leader, to have
been 20 percent larger than the show
of 1927, consisted of 81 pens of poul-
try, nearly 400 birds; Ill pigs, PA
lambs, and 249 baby beeves. Individ-
ual exhibitors numbered 632.
Improvement in quality was as
outstanding as the increase in guam

the baby beef class, expressed sur
prise at the uniform high quality of
the animals fed and fitted by the

SCHOOL CHILD NEEDS
THREE SQUARES A DAY

"The hot lunch at school is vital
part of good health education pro-
gram" says Inez Hobart, nutrition
specialist Of the agricultural extern
sion division of the University of
Minnesota. "Three square meals a
day are necessary to the growing
child and the noon meal should not
be sighted"
Four requirements of an adequate
hot lunch are given by Miss Hobart,
as follows:
1. A full hour at noon; time
for the child to wash, eat, and
play.
g.. Supervision of the noon
hour requiring the child to sit
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1928-12-05

at table at least 20 minutes.
3. A carefully planned lunch
of sandwiches and fruit brought
from home.
A. One hot dish, carefully pre-
pared, which furnishes milk or
vegetables, or a combination of
the two, as these are the foods
which are likely to be deficient
in the school child's dietary.
The pint jar method for the hot
lunch is the simplest, says the spe.
cialist. In this case the hot dish is
prepared at home and taken to school
with the lunch to be reheated at noon.
The advantages of this method are
that it eliminates the problems of
