Greater Possibility of Leisure

pOrtant, Says COffman

Educational and cultural opportuni-
ties for adults are of as great i'm
portance as is the education of youth,
and are gaining in Importance be-
cause our increasing national wealth
gives a greater leisure to the work
ers, and with it a greater need to be
adequately prepared to use leisure.
This was keynote statement in
the address of President Coffman of
the University of Minnesota, who
spoke recently at the Inauguration of
R. A. Kent as president of the Uni
versity of Louisville.

"Plenty, health and education for

the benefits of science are scattered
the opportunities for self-training are

President Coffman said that the

the onward sweep of things without
mourning a heavy penalty which al
civilization will pay.

DECORATE THE TABLE
WITH COLORFUL FRUITS

Have you decided on the center
piece for your Christmas dinner
table? The center of the dinner
table seems to take care of itself in
summer, when the garden offers such
an array of fresh flowers, but at
Christmas time when flowers, no
longer bloom outside, and the whole
family gathers around and the large
dinner table, the center presents a
problem that takes a bit more
thought and ingenuity.
eff you cannot have fresh flowers,
however, you can have fresh fruit, y
says Miss Ruth Segolson of the home
economics division, University OF
Minnesota. "a low bowl of rosy APP
Piles, combined with oranges, grapes
or bananas will make an attractive
centerpiece. If your low bowls all
seem too small for the center of the
large table, you may make your
centerpiece seem larger and bit
more festive by laying springs OF
holly, evergreen, or other bits OF
green foliage on the cloth following
the shape of the bowl.

MULCH PERENNIALS FOR
WINTER PROTECTION

Perennial Towering plants and
bulbs of all sorts need winter protec-
ton in Minnesota, according to L.
Sando, fiericulturist, Univers t y
Farm, St. Paul. The object of this
protection, which is best accomplish
ed by mulching, is not to prevent
freezing, but rather to prevent alter
nate freezing and thawing.
The dried stems of many peren-
malls may be cut and laid over the
plants after which the mulch may be
spread on lightly to a depth of two
or three inches. No protection should
be given at all until after the ground
freezes and in no case should heavy
covering be applied.
Marsh hay, where procurable lis
considered the best kind of material
for mulching since it leaves no weed
seeds or other undesirable aftermath.
Straw is second in favor and leaves
third. Leaves are objected to be-
cause they tend to pack down into a
solid mass about the crowns of the
plants so as to stiflle them in the
spring when growth commences. 1t
it is necessary to use leaves, Mr..
Sando advises mixing at least small
amount of straw with them which
will tend to prevent packing.
An incidental advantage of mulch
ing is that it will provide supply OF
| light material near the plants which
may be used to protect them against
| late spring frosts.

TEA CART FOR MOTHER
WILL SAVE MANY STEPS

Christmas gifts for mother, wife,
or married sister will be doubly ap-
propriate if they are useful as well
as attractive. Miss-Mary May Miller,
home management specialist of the
Minnesota agricultural extension
staff, suggests wheeled tray or
kitchen tea cart. Such a convenience
for taking dishes and food from kit
chen to dining room and back again
will save many steps for the home
maker.
An old fashioned wash stand, or a
small lightweight table, mounted on
wheels or rollers, will answer the
purpose nicely, or suitable frame
work may be made outright from in
expensive materials. Essentially, the
tea cart consists of a framework
supporting the top and shelf under
meath, the whole being mounted on
wheels.
The top should measure about "a
inches in width and Fl inches from
front to back. The height may be
about 80 inches. A small drawer is
always convenient, especially as it
may be used for cutlery in the kitch-
en- or at the dining table. A rim
around the top serves as a safety de-
vice. They may be two or three
inches high and another one may be
put around the shelf.
If nicely decorated or finished, the
tea cart comes in handy as serv-
ing table near the hostess when she
is seated at the table.
