Jams, marmalades, conseves- time
to begin to thing about making them.
Just what is the difference in these
terms? | doubt if anyone really
knows. | usually call the product
jam when the fruit is thoroughly
crushed, mamalade when it is left in
distinct pieces and conserve when it
Is a mixture Of several fruits with
possibly few nuts in addition. You
may have a completely different way
of discriminating among these com
binations Of fruit and sugar which are
delicious whatever you call them. You
may have your own pet collection Of
recipes handed down in the family OF
given you by your friends. Perhaps
you will find one or two among my
favorites which you will think worthy
of adding to your own group. For
plain jam usually use about three
fourths as much sugar by measure as
| have fruit | heat the fruit in a pre-
serving kettle and crush it with a
large wooden spoon while it is heating
and then add the sugar, stir until it
is thoroughly dissolved and then cook
until the syrup is thick. Be sure to
use a heavy preserving kettle pre-
fer the cast aluminium for this as
there is then no danger Of the jams
burning. If you must use a thinner
kettle, use an asbestos mat under it.
A favorite combination marmalade
is strawberry and pineapple. To three
boxes Of berries use one pineapple and
thee pounds of sugar. Put the berries
into a preserving kettle, crush them
we'll, add the sugar and pineapple and
cook until the syrup is thick, about
forty-five minutes. Pack and seal.
Another combination is known as
the three reds or as medley conserve
Take two quarts of raspberries, two
quarts of strawberries, two quarts of
currants and four and one-half pounds
of sugar. Mash the berries, add the
sugar and boil forty-fve minutes
! Pack and seal.
One of my favorite marmalades, or
whatever you like to call it, is pre-
served cherries. Sour cherries must
be used for this and how we used to
moan in my childhood days when the
cherry tree in the back yard did not
bear a good crop! Wash four pounds
of cherries, remove the stems and
stones. Cover with. four pounds OF
sugar and let stand two hours. Set

LAD KILLED BY LAND SLIDE
Charles Morris, CoIored. Met Death at
MiddIetOwn's New School Site

Charles Morris, colored, aged Il
years, of Middletown, was killed Tues
day morning of last week, accidently,
when several tons 0f earth gave way
at the east end Of the basement eX-
cavation for Middletowns new school
building being erected on South Broad
street Frank Pierson, of Townsend,
the contractor to whom the excavation
work had been sublet, had his arm
broken when the same landslide hit
him Fortunately he was farther re-
moved from the danger than was the
boy. The American Legion Ambulance
Of Smyrna, was summoned and took
the injured man to the Delaware Hos
pital where he had his broken arm set.
Dr. D. w. Lewis, who arrived at the
scene of the accident shortly after it
occurred, pronounced the boy dead He
had evidently been killed instantly as
he was completely buried under sever
al tons Of earth. The cause Of this
fatal landslide is unknown, it being
generally believed that it was one of
those things that happen occasionally
in all construction work This partic-

ual depth, it being fourteen feet deep

work.
There is one thing that we are fully
agreed upon, Mr. Mosbak: That We
would have been better off around
Askov if we had stuck to the Guern-
sey cow and l believe that about 100
per cent would have stuck if we had
had a county agent to assist us in
| selecting those three sires which we
got for foundation stock. The chances
are that the milk from the resulting
heifers would have had a Guernsey
test instead of Holstein test. 1t
would have seemed like an insignifi-
cant help, and the county agent would
not have received any credit for it;
but it only goes to show that sturdy
oaks from little acorns grow" The
county agent is doing many such small
things that are giving wonderful re-
suits, but we fail to give him or the
extension department credit for it.
l don't care to discuss national
politics through these columns, but /
don't think it is right that all classes
except the farmer should benefit by
the tariff. Neither do l think it is
right that Canada can deliver ruta-
bagas to our southern markets cheap
er than we can from Pine county, and
would not object to tariff on ruta-
bagas even if it did make a double
wrong. I never felt anything wrong
in receiving the additional four cents
per pound the butter tariff gave us
two or three years ago, nor have 1
heard anyone else object to it.

PRINCIPLE INVOLVED

The voters of Pine county have de-
feated the appropriation for Farm Blu
reau extension work some time ago,
and, naturally, those same voters are
wondering why and how appropria-
tions are demanded and granted since
the measure was defeated. There is
a principle involved. and it is only a
duty of our commissioners to act for
their constituents who are the ma
jority on that question.
Why pick on a few commissioners
that take action on opinions of con-
stituents in their respective districts
since they are clean, and openly de-
fend those opinions? Why not pick
on the only few voters as stated in
Opinions of March Goth? o..
Being in contact with farmer voters
of our township it plainly shows that
IS per cent are not in favor of an APP
preparation, it shows only few of
the voters in favor. This is just the
reverse as stated in Opinions.
Speaking of petitions, most likely
they would not answer the purpose.
Our county and state as we'll as the
whole United States are very demo-
cratic and uphold our birthright, the
ballot. Through the ballot, voters
can express their will for the mutual
benefit of brother and county for or
against the appropriation, much
easier and more becoming than

AGREES WITH MOSBEK

The article by Mr.. Mosbak in your
last issue on 1.-THE Farmers Prob
lems," shows that he has given this
subject good deal of study and has
an intelligent understanding of same
Farm organizations in very many
cases get false leadership. In many
cases men are put into charge of
these affairs who are more interested
in farming the farmers" than in
farming the soil. A good example
of the above is the workings of the
legislative representative of the Farm
Bureau in Washington. in the Present
session of Congress, who favored, and
worked for the turning over of the
vast Muscle Shoals power project to
the American Cynamid company, a
branch of the power trust. But this
group was put to rout under the lea
dership of Senator Norris of Nebras-
ka, who always has supported the
farmers interests in Washington. 1t
is to the credit of both Minnesota
senators that they supported Norris
in protecting the interests of the
American people. Now the farmers
of Pine county who belong to the
Farm Bureau, know, wouldn't favor
the above. But too many times the
Farm Bureau is controlled and run
by men who are not farmers, but more
interested in using the organization
to further their business and political
ambitions. ~-
AS Mr.. Mosbak suggested, the
Farm Bureau should, at least in the
main, be supported by the farmers
instead of getting its chief support
from subsidies from county, state and
government. If they had an organi-
cation in Pine county of at least 1000
members, most of whom were actively

LAUDS CONTRIBUTOR
Editor Askov American:

EullOT AShOV american.
Will you kindly allow me space in
your paper to word an appreciation of
Ludwig Mosb8k's commendable eX-
preston regarding county appropria-
tions for Farm Bureau work. l sin
cerely hope Mr.. Mosbak will not be-
come discouraged and l am not so
certain that he is in the minority.
A number of farmers and other citi-
zens are very quiet.
A Farm Bureau can never be a real
association of farmers as long as the
agent or advisor is chosen by the
directors in conjunction with the
county board, and as long as part of
the funds of the Bureau are dependent
on political appropriations. Indeed,
it must be very embarrassing for any
holder of a political office to have
to go on record on this question which
has nothing whatever to do with the
business of county government. Mer-
chants have commercial clubs, and
bankers have associations just as
newspapers have editorial associa-
tions, but up to this writing neither
Uncle Sam nor the State University
have offered any subsidies to these
worthy endeavors. May 1 also record
the glorious fact that COW testing as
sociations operate without support
from public treasures.
A county agent can be very val
liable man, but only if he is hand
picked by the farmers themselves and
paid for by their own earnings, al
though I believe many earnest bust
nessmen would join farm bureau
if it was run strictly on a home rule
basis. Respectfully,
AXEL H. ANDERSEN.

Opinion of Others

DONE" and can pass it on to the farm
ers of Pine county.
How many able farmers would make
successful county agents? You could
take a dozen successful farmers, and
they would probably be making sue
cess in a dozen different ways. One
could be a brilliant success in one
line and an utter failure in another.
If you want a man for county agent
who has made success in all lines
of farming and at the same time has
the ability to do the leadership work
of county agent, you are looking for
kind of super-man. The supply
would never equal the demand.
A man, to be a successful farmer,
must not only make a financial sue
cess, but he must leave his. land in
just as good or better shape than
when he got it.
From Mr.. Mosbak's article I get
the impression that he considers it a
detriment to a man to have an agri-
cultural college education, if he wants
to be a successful farmer.
Statistics from different states show
that high school graduates make a
greater success at farming than
eighth grade graduates, and agricul-
tural college graduates make a much
greater success than high school grad
yates.
More and more of our young folks
are attending the agricultural college.
This winter a dozen or more attended
from Askov, and as near as l can
judge, came from some of our most
progressive farm homes. The par
ents and the young folks themselves
must believe it will be a benefit to
them in the future. l, for one, don't
question their judgment. 1 hope that
more and more will attend as the
years go by.
Mr.. Mosbak states that it does not
take university graduate to list and
distribute orders for explosives. That
is true enough, and nobody ever
claimed it did. But how much would
we have bought if the county agent
hadn't worked for and encouraged us
to buy? Isn't it benefit to the coun-
ty to get so many stumps and stones
out of the way and more land under
cultivation?
And why not receive the $500
appropriation from the state and
federal government to support extern
sion work as long as we have to pay
the taxes whether we receive it or
not? Many progressive farmers be-
lieve that we should, or they would
not be willing to pay their Farm Bu-
reau dues besides their other taxes.
Direct taxes is one of the most
abused things in the world. True
enough, they are high; never knew
them to be low. AS far back as l can
remember people have complained
of high taxes. But is that the cause
of our big delinquent tax list?
We are demanding more luxuries
and cOnveniences. Billions are spent
for automobiles, millions for gas and
oil, millions in indirect taxes on Gig
arettes, tobacco, face powder, etc.
wonder if these and many other
things are not more to blame for our
delinquent tax list than our direct
taxes.
1 would like to ask what gives big
