with. However, the general outlook
from moisture standpoint on tbe
first of July can now be considered
as excellent in practically ali parts
of the state.
Winter wheat should now have suf-
Ilclent moisture to carry the crop
through to harvest. The damage re-
sulting from May drouth in MANY
cases was severe enough to material
~ reduce yields. However, barring
heat damage between now and har-
vest a fair crop of winter wheat can
be secured. In case of spring wheat
considerable improvement can still be
expected to result from the favorable
June moisture. The menace of ex-
tnslv fallur of hay and feed for stock
mn that was brought about by Nav
drouth is now definitely removed with
the present moisture supply being
sufficient for needs of second cropS
OF alfalfa and promising a good sup
ply OF summer grass as well as fair
to good crops of prairie hay and other

BUTTER IS A WHOLESOME
E00n

Cows butter contains more of the
fat soluble "A" vitamin than any
other food in comparison to the
amount used. This makes butter .
very valuable food for children, and
they should be encouraged to use 4
reasonable amount.
Since the earliest primitive times,
butter has been the source of one of
mans best forms Of nutrition. The
milk of cows, mares, and, in fact, the
milk of every domesticated animal
has been used, and is still being used
in many parts of the world, but be-
cause Of economy Of production,
cows milk is now the principal
source Of butter fat in practically
every civilized country.
It is advisable to use q certain
amount Of hydrocarbons or fats
each day, both for their nutritive and
lubricating qualities.
Our best butter at present comes
from the large and we'll orkanized
creameries, since there it can lie sci
entifically prepared 50 as to avoid
all possibilities Of uncleanlin :.s. BY
this process, the cream is sanarated
from the whole milk while it is still
sweet by running it through "en-
trifugal separator. It is then pas
teurized and treated by tie addition
of tactic acid culture before being
churned. In this way there is no
danger Of contamination from ort-
side sources, and it is a well known
fact that creamery butter will keep
longer without becoming rancid :han
farm butter.
The old fashioned method was to
allow the milk to stand for two Or
three days and then churn the eour
cream, which formed at the top Of
the vessel.
Butter made from sweet cream is
not as popular as table article in
this country as it is in Europe, and
while it is relished by many, it is no
more desirable from a standpoint of
health than properly made creamery
butter, to which a small amount Of
salt is added. Sweet butter, never
theless, has a re"dv sale since it is
used, especially in the larger cities,
to reconstruct cream and milk for
restaurants and ice cream factor
les. Used in this manner, it is just
as wholesome as the fresh cream,
and has the advantage of being kept
for long time without spelling.
The best butter contains only
about II per cent moisture, and will
keep for long time without spoil
ing. When much milk is present the
butter tends to spoil. The rancidity
is caused by the formation Of butyric
acid. BY washing rancid butter in
fresh milk, some Of this butyric acid
is absorbed, after which the milk
may be washed out with fresh wa
ter.
Many families use oleomargarine.
There are some wholesome butter
substitutes called nut margarines be-

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
(NEA Service Writer)

Washington, Aug. 3.-Every pres
idential year brings forth q number
Of books dealing with political
phases and personages. The current
political season offers an unusually
worthy crop of reading matter for
the campaign months.
No one has yet written a compre-
hensive history of American politics.
The essentials are crammed into DR..
Edward Stanwood's History of the
Presidency" the standard work on
nominations and elections up to 1915.
While Stanwood's book is a gold
mine of information and book Of
immense value to students and other
writers, some larger work yet to
come will include volumes of addi-
tional detail. For the present, the
full, vivid, colorful story of our poll
tics can only be had by reading in
Vulnerable histories, biographies and
"reminiscences, along with files of
newspapers and periodicals..
The best accounts of the earliest
days of our political parties to ap-
pear in recent years are jefferson
and Hamilton" and Party Battles
of the Jackson PERIOD" written by
Claude Bowers, the Democratic key
noter at Houston. For the best at
tempt to connect the evolution and
fortunes of our political parties with
the physical, economic and cultural
progress Of the nation, your corre-
spondent suggests "The Rise of
American Civilization" by DR..
Charles A. Beard.
Outstanding among political his
tories published in the last year are
The Republican Party" by Prof.
William Starr Myers of Princeton
and "Thc Democratic Party" by
Frank R. Kent, political editor Of
the Baltimore Sun. One suspects
that they are proving the most pop
ular of the 1928 political books. Each
is written rom an obvious, though
not offensive. partisan slant.
Neither is whitewash, except in
spots. Both are easy and interest
ing reading and ought to appeal to
the voter who wants to know more
Of the background Of his party and
the other party.
The Myers book is the more schol-
arly, representing much more re-
search and presenting much more
interesting detail. Kent's is sketchy
but informative. His history of the
