FIND LEARNING TO SEW
is LEARNING TO SAVE

Skillful, intelligent sewing for her
self and family is one of the most
effective and satisfying ways by
which the home-maker may save
money. Concrete evidence of this is
afforded by the experience of Mrs.
John Claffy of Duluth, who in addi-
ton to saving considerable by sewing
for her own family, makes extra
money by sewing for friends. Mrs.
Claffy declares that she is saving
money all of the time, and that she
saved nearly a hundred dollars re-
Gently on an outfit consisting of a
coat and dress. This outfit, which
she made at cost of $56, would have
cost $143.50, had it been purchased
ready-made.
Mrs. Claffy was one of 215 Duluth
women who took up a course in sew
ing instruction offered by specialists
of the agricultural extension division
of the University of Minnesota last
year. Besides learning how to cut
and fit clothing properly and new
methods of sewing, Mrs. Claffy told
Miss Dorothy j. Iwig, Duluth home
demonstration agent, that the short
cuts and time savers which she learn
ed from the course enabled her to ac-
complish great deal more in a Civ
en- amount Of time.
Mrs. j. Conway, another Duluth
home-maker who took this course, is
now making boys shirts at a cost of
n cents which are equal in quality of
shirts selling commercially at 81
each. This same woman also re-
modelled four-year-old coat at a
cost of So, including a new lining.
This finished coat was worth at least
$40. Many other women have re-
ported similar experiences.
The extension course studied by
Mrs. Claffy, Mrs. Conway and other
Duluth women, was the one known as
Clothing Project l. This project and
another known as Clothing Project
II are the same courses that are being
presented to farm women in a num-
Der of Minnesota counties every year,
under auspices of the county extern
sion services. The agricultural ex-
tension division at University Farm
maintains two full time clothing
specialists who give series of lessons
to local leaders in each county. These
local leader then hold meetings in
their own communities, and each
transmits the instruction received to
a dozen or more other women.

WINTER WHEAT PROVING
VALUABLE CASH CROP

Because it is one of the most pro-
fitable cash grain crops and fits well
into most crop rotations, winter
wheat acreage is rapidly expanding
in southern Minnesota, according to
r. E. Hodgson, superintendent of the
southern Minnesota experiment sta
ton, Waseca, and DIR. H. X. Hayes,
chief of the division of agronomy and
plant genetics, University Farm, St.
Paul.
For the four-year period, 1913 to
1916, southern Minnesota grew only
an average of 56,250 acres of winter
wheat per year, but from 1925 to
1928, 2.8 times as much or $4,000
acres per year were produced. This
large increase in winter wheat acre
age has been made possible largely
through the development by the Min
nesota agricultural experiment sta
lions of the Minturki variety which is
highly resistant black stem rust,
sinking smut and lodging.
That winter wheat is a valuable
cash crop is evident from a compari-
son of the farm value per acre, based
on the December price, with that of
other small grains and of corn. Dur
ing the period from 1918 to 1927, the
average acre value of winter wheat
was $24.39 compared to $23.26 for
flax, $500 for spring wheat, $16.37
for barley, SIC for rye, $13.86 for
oats, and $24.63 for corn. The aver
age acre value of winter wheat ex-
ceeded every other grain crop except
corn to which it was only slightly in
frior.
