LATE BLIGHT MENACES
MINNESOTA SPUD CROP

With weather conditions idea for
its rapid spread, late blight constitu-
tes serious menance to Minnesota
potatoes this year, says R. C. Rose,
plant disease specialist, University
Farm, St. Paul. This is particularly
true since the disease has put in it's
appearance full two weeks earlier
than last year and considerably in
advance of the average seson.
Applying bordeaux mixture with a
high pressure sprayer is the only
way to flight the blight, Mr.. Rose
says, and he advises growers to get
busy at once and to keep their plants
covered with the spray until frost.
Sprayers should have nozzles so ar
ranged as to get the mixture on the
under side of the leaves as well as on
top.
Full details, together with direc-
tions for mixing the spray, may be
had by writing the Mailing Room,
University Farm, st. Paul, for the
free bulletin on Potato Growing.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
HOUSE NOBODY HOME
While VIM. Becker Was at Cir.
Gus Thursday Lightning
Struck House

VIM. Becker of Morgan saved his
life Thursday night by going to the
Observation-Disclosures circus at New
Ulm. When he and his brother got
home in the storm sometime after
midnight he discovered that light
nirg had struck the house. 1t was
probably a "cold stroke" so called.
The bolt had first struck a large
tree which overhangs the house and
splintered the bark off of some of
limbs and then struck the house en-
tering Mr.. Becker's bedroom. One
of the bedposts was damaged and a
quantity of plaster torn off the cell
ing and strewn about the floor. The
bolt descended down the building in
to the ground. Not a great deal of
damage was done and fire did not
ensue. William figures that if he had
not gone to the circus he would have
been in bed during the storm, in
which case the bolt of lightning
would have been dangerously near.
William doesn't intend to pass up
any circuses around here after this.

INSECTS GET PLACE ON
CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM

Insects, mosquitoes especially, have
long been associated with chautauqu-
as and other outdoor meetings, but
usually in the role of nuisances, This
month, however, August IA, Is and
16, a chautauqua will be held at
which insects, this time the busy lit
tie bees, will have the leading place
on the program. The chautauquas will
be held at La Crosse, Wisconsin, and
will be ATTENDED by beekeepers from
both Minnesota and Wisconsin, being
sponsored by the beekeepers' associa-
tions of the two states.
The event will provide an outing
for apiarists and also a general pro-
gram dealing with problems of in
sects to the beekeeping industry,
says DIR. M. C. Tanquary, in charge
of beekeeping at University Farm,
St. Paul, and president of the Ameri-
can Honey Producers League. A
number of prominent beekeepers
from eastern and southern states will

GUESS WORK is TAKEN
OUT OF JELLY MAKING

Jelly making was necessarily a
gamble for grandmother, but modern
research has eliminated the guess
work and today's housewife knows
that good jelly is simply the result
of combining sugar, acid and pectin
in the proper proportions, says Mrs.
Kathryn B. Niles, foods instructor OF
the home economics division, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul.
Fruits that are ideal for jellies are
rich in pectin and moderately acid
as indicated by their tart taste. But
the old rue of equal measure OF sug-
ar and juice" is not always success
full, so it is best to make simple
test. This may be done by taking
one tablespoon each of jelly juice and
denatured alcohol or witch hazel, STIR
ring the mixture and allowing it to
stand for few minutes. The result
ing gelantinous mass will be indica-
tive of the proportion of sugar to
juice. A thick, fairly solid piece in
dicates sufficient pectin to use equal
parts of sugar and juice. Juices low
in pectin may be concentrated by
boiling and then retested.
By the use of commercial pectns,
Juices and fruits of splendid color and
flavor, but heretofore undesirable as
''good jellying fruits" may be made
into excellent jellies, preserves, and
jams. The use of pectin reduces the
cost, increases the yield of jelly as
compared to the old method. and ex-
tends the jelly making throughout
the entire year.
Beginners should follow directions
lar pectin used. By Judging the fin
explicitly as given with the particu-
ished product, however, changes in
the amount of pectin used may be
made according to individual stand
ards or family tastes.

NOTICES OF SPECIAL
LEVY NOW REQUIRED
New Law Provides Notice to
Property Owners of Any Spe-
ciai Assements

Notice has been received from Har-
ry G. Bentou, secretary of the Mime
apolis Real Estate Board announc-
ing a special improved tax levy to
property owners. This law was pass
ed by the 1929 legislature.
"The new law provides that when
ever any city council or other gov
erning body determines to lay out,
open or improve any street, lay wat
ermains or sidewalks or to establish
any zoning restriction or modify
those already existing; or determine
to issue any order, decree or notice
in connection with specific building
or land relating to health or fire haz-
ard, the property owner must be serv-
ed with notice in the same man.
ner as provided by statute for serv-
ice in civil action" he declared.
''The law also requires that the
nvelop containing the notice shall be
plainly marked on it's face in large
type with the words, Important Not
ice Affecting Your Property
"The notices themselves shall be
general in their character, but shall
include a statement of the nature of
the proceedings which affect the pro-
perty of the person to whom such
notice is sent. 1t also puts in an
additional provision which requires
that the office or department or in
dividual charged with the duty of
sending such notice shall be clearly
stated on the notice and that if fur
ther information is desired it may be
secured from the office or department
named.
''The statute does not modify any
previous law providing for zoning or
establishment of improvements and
so forth only to the extent that in
cases where improvements are order
ed the owner of property shall re-
ceive notice thereof.
"There have been many hardships
placed upon the owners of property
by reason of the fact that they have
not received notices of the improve
ments for which property was assess
ed. Many times the owners had no
knowledge of the additional tax or of
the fact that certain conditions exist
ed upon their premises until they re-
ceived tax statement or found their
premises vacated by reason of the
fact of the tenant being notified OF
certain existing conditions. Now,
however, the owner must be given
notice"

BETTER ORGANIZATION
OF STATE SOUGHT NOW
BY THE FARM BUREAU

Seeking to place Minnesota farm
ers in line to make the most of the
new Federal Farm Marketing Act,
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
tion during the month of September
will carry on state wide activity aim
ed to largely increase the member
ship of the Farm Bureau in all Min
nesota counties.
In carrying out this program, the
Minnesota Federation is acting in
unison with the American Farm Bur-
eau Federation, of which Sam H.
Thompson, of Quincy, Illinois, is pre-
sident.
The present, Mr.. Thompson be-
lieves, is the time to capitalize on
the nationa interest in the condition
of the farmer, and make completely
effective the program of organized
agriculture. Success of this pro-
gram, he says, depends on a majority
of farm people thinking and acting
in unison.
This principle, which has been ad-
vocated as Farm Bureau gospel since
the creation of the organization, was
recently given governmental sanction
by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde.
Other public men, including senator's
and congressman, in discussing the
agricultural situation, have stressed
the necessity of farmers organizing
to make their demands effective.
To assist in achieving the program
of organized agriculture, the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation has set
aside the entire month of September
for a concentrated campaign to pre-
sent to the farmers of the nation the
aims and accomplishments of this
organization and to build the mem
bership so that the goal of organized
farmers can be more quickly reached

FARMERS TO TRY FOR
DAIRY JUDGING HONORS

Who, among Minnesota farmers, is
the best Judge of dairy cattle? Which
county has the best team of farmer
judges? These are questions to be
decided at the Minnesota State Fair,

annual Farmers Dairy Judging con-
test will be held. Holsteins, Guern-
seys, Jerseys and Brown Swiss will

basis of placings and oral reasons on
all classes, says H. R. Searles, ex-
tension dairy specialist, University
Farm, st. Paul, who will be in
charge.
Counties may enter teams of three
men each, after having held county
judging contests, the teams to be
selected under the direction of coun-
ty agents. Any farmer is eligible for
team membership except profession
al judges, agriculture teachers, coun-
ty agents or men who have held such
positions. Men who have participat-
ed in previous state contests are in
eligible until three years after such
competition.
Gold, silver and bronze medals,
furnished by The Farmer, and Farm,
Stock and Home, st. Paul, will be
presented to the three high individ-
uals, while the Northwest Dairy
Show cup will be awarded the high
team.

CHEST DONATIONS
FOURTH OF BUDGET
ChiIdren'S Hospital Has
Largest Amount Desig-
mated, $29,621.17.

The sum of the contributions to the
Community Chest during the last cam
psign by subscribers who designated
the particular organizations to which
their money was to go, equals one
fourth of the total budgets of the 81
component organizations, according to
an analysis just completed.
Some subscribers ordered that their
contributions were to go to all 81 or
carnations, others designated only one
organization, but most of them none.
The sum assigned to particular chari-
ties was IS per cent of the 81 ,319, 1871
budgeted for member organizations, and
% per cent of the total amount sub
scribed, $l,457, S66.26, which included,
in addition to the agency budgets,
$l68,031 in the shrinkage and emer-
gency fund.
Children's Hospital had the largest
amount of money designated-$29. :

by 2,6l2 contributors. The next largest
amount designated was for the InStruc-
tive Visiting Nurse Society-$25, 687 IL,
or So per cent of its budget, by 1850
contributors.
1881 Aid Salvation Army.
The largest number of designations
was for the Salvation Army with 1881
designators for $23,2l9.93, or 80 per
cent of it's budget.
The value of the Community Chest
as an evener-up of the finances of
member agencies; to make sure that
organizations get what they need, but
only that, for current expenses and
when they need 1t, is indicated by the
fact that six Of the member organiZa-
tons of the Community Chest we're
over-designated by contributors who
apparently knew neither the extent of
their need nor the extent to which
other persons had given, it is explained.
The amounts over-designated on agency
budgets will be held in reserve to APP
ply on their needs of 1880. These, in
each instance, will be greater than the
needs of 1929, when cash balances and
other income reduced the amount which
normally would be required in gifts. In
some cases these amounts of cash on
hand we're due to changes In the fiscal
year of the agency to the Community
Chest fiscal year.

carnations, the Association for the
Prevention of tuberculosis, has not vet

Chest for any funds this year. 1t

tee gives contributors assurance noth
that adequate budgets are assigned 10
member organizations, that budgets
are authorized with view to the whole

such funds are appropriated as are

sible. For the first time in the history
of Washington, the year 1929, through
the Community Chest, has seen order,
equity and economy introduced into the
general collection and distribution OF
charitable funds.
THE principle of designation is not
invalidated by budgeting, Each con-
tributor indicates his interest in the
organizations which especially appeal
to him. Each organization has list
of such designators and can use them
for building up membership and for
keeping these interested persons In
touch with the work of the organiza-
ton. Designation does not affect the
budget of the organization, because the
