JERSEY cow BREAKS
TATE Il E c O Il D

Imp. Cowslip 6461O5, a purebred
Jersey COW owned by Mrs. Mary c.
Folwell at Newark, Delaware, has
greatly distinguished herself by
winning the American Jersey Cattle
Club and by establishing new high
record for Delaware Jerseys tested
for SO5 days. To win these honors
Cowshp produced 660.07-lbs. of but
terfat and 11,702 lbs. OF milk in 3O5
days. She carried calf 231 days of
this test, which was started when
she was years and month of age.
For three successive months of the
test her yield was above 81 lbs. of
butterfat per month. Her milk av-
eraged 5.649o butterfat for the ten
months.
This new champion superseded
Sleeping Sybil Imp. 764342, also
owned by Mrs. Mary G. Folwell.
Sleeping Sybil Imp. held the state
championship with her yield of
641.2O. lbs. of butterfat and 1882
lbs. of milk.
At the present time four Della
ware championships, in the various
age classes, for high production are
held by individuals in the Folwell |

MEATS AND VEGETABLES IN
HAPPY COMBINATIONS FOR
SALADS

So often our only thought when it
comes to hearty salads is chicken or
fish; yet there is no kind of meat
from bacon to beef which cannot be
used in combination with vegetables
to make delicious salads. And what
better can one have as the main dish
for dinner on hot day than a tasty
salad, cold and crisp, and appetite
satisfying at the same time.
The National Live Stock and Meat
Board sends out the following sug-
gestions for meat and vegetables in
salad combinations which are espe-
cially good.
1. Minced ham, cottage cheese,
pearl onions, minced chives, and wa
tercress. First arrange watercress
on the plate; place little mound OF
cottage cheese in the center and
then press it down to make a cavity
in the center; sprinkle with minced
chives; fill the cavity with minced
ham and garnish with a few pearl
onions.
2. Crisp bacon and thinly sliced
onions on a bed of shredded lettuce.
8. Veal or lamb combine well with
diced celery, cucumbers and curly
endive.
4. Veal or pork may be used in
any chicken salad recipe with good
results.
5. Diced tongue, ripe olives, green
pepper, and lettuce served with
mayonnaise to which little grated
horseradish has been added.
6. Combine minced corned beef
with finely chopped parsley and
mayonnaise, place in mound in a
lettuce cup. Garnish with slices of
picked beets and halves of deviled
eggs.
Z. Boiled beef is excellent in COM
bination with minced parsley, chop
ped green pepper and onion, sprig
of mint, and capers.
8. Liver is good in combination
with veal and crisp bacon or salt
pork. 1t should be cut large.
9. Sweetbreads make a very de-
licate salad. One pair will serve
six. Diced celery may be added.
Garnish with olives.
10. Jellied tongue or other jellied
meats are often served in salad;l
sliced on a bed of salad green's.

TIMELY HINTS ON
THE PICNIC LUNCH

The picnic and the lunch mean
one and the same thing and as pic
mic means a good time, a good lunch
is necessary to make it so; and the
goodness of the lunch depends great
ly upon the way It is packed.
The summer season should never
arrive without supply of waxed
paper in the house, since it is es-
sential in packing the lunch. Every
article should be separately wrapped
in the paper.
A picnic kit of some kind is al
most a household necessity for the
family with summertime gypsy hab-
its, and the automobile has made
gipsies of us all.
The Joy Of Hot Dishes
The automobile kit with its many
containers for meat loaf, salad, etc.,
as we'll as its supply of dishes
makes packing the picnic luncheon
a real pleasure and it makes eating
the luncheon even more so, since
one food does not flavor the other.
While we may like both cake and
pickles, we do not want the one to
taste of the other.
The wide necked thermos jug can
be packed with hot meat and pota-
toes and the gravy poured over.
1t is not at all impossible to take
hot dishes to the picnic, if the OBJ
jective is not too distant. A pan of
creamed potatoes and a meat loaf
may be taken from the oven just be-
fore starting and wrapped first in
clean dish towels and then in news
paper and will keep quite hot for
considerable time.
The individual waxed paper con-
tainers are nice for packing fruit or
potato salad in putting up a lunch
con for just one person. With these
containers and with waxed paper,
there is no reason why, even if
packed in a shoe box, the pickles
should become too friendly with the
cake,

CONSIDER THE TRAY
FOR THE INVALID

Serving the invalid's meals takes
thought and consideration at all
times, but when warm weather adds
to the discomfort of the sick person
and robs him of all appetite, it is
even more important that the tray
have an appearance that attracts
and the food has flavor that ap-
peals to the appetite, says Miss Inez
S. Wilson, home economist of the
National Live Stock and Meat
Board.
Setting the tray is the first thing.
Every household should have a tray
of some kind. There are all kinds
and descriptions from the gaily
painted metal ones to the elaborate
wicker ones which are in reality
tables.
Tray Should Be Gay
Crisp linen tray cloths in dainty
colors, gay gingham ones, or if one
wishes, the paper lace doilies may be
used; these can always be kept fresh
without any extra effort, and they
look especially nice on the painted
tray of green or orange or other
bright color.
Shining glassware and the dain-
test and prettiest china should be
used. A single rose or tiny vase OF
pansies with their quaint, funny
faces will give a lot of pleasure to
the patient.
The garniture of the plate should
never be overlooked, for a tuft of
parsley or bit of cress will lift the
most uninteresting food from the
realm of the commonplace.
Have the food prepared in such
way that it is easy for the invalid TO
handle it with little effort. Milk
toast should be cut in small squares
before the hot milk is poured over
it. Oranges should have the Sec
tions separated, the membrane re-
moved and the sections arranged at
tractively.
Meat should be cut after the tray
is presented to the invalid as it
looks better in the piece. The lamb
chop may be "Frenched" and decor
ated with frill.
The glow of pleasure on the face
Of your invalid when he sees his tray
will repay all your efforts to make
t attractive.

which belongs to him, the American
Motorists Association declares.
California, Massachusetts and
Connecticut have demonstrated how
much can be done, at small cost, to
beautify the roadsides by judicious
i. planting of native trees, shrubs and
perennial flowers, the statement
d, points out.
Congress has already recognized
the need for Identification of our
highways by passing law authoriz-
ing the expenditure of federal funds,
in cooperation with the states, for
roadside tree planting" it is point
ed out by>J. Borton Weeks, President
of the A. M. A.
'The Identification of the nations
highways could be materially en-
hanced by the planting of trees and
elimination of roadside billboards.
Cooperation of the States, however,
is essential as the federal authori-
zation for use of federal-funds in
tree planting provides that the U. S.
bureau of Public Roads, only when
requested, is empowered to COOP
crate with the States should immedi-
ately include roadside tree planting
in their annual highway program"
President Weeks declares.
The failure of most states to en-
act more stringent laws governing
the erection of billboards along
highways, has also resulted in de-
struction of much of the natural
beauties of highway vistas, the Am
erican Motorists Associations state
ment declares. ALI but seven states
now exercise regulatory power over
roadside advertising signboards, but
none prohibit their erection, says
the American Motorists Association,
declaring that these signboards not
only mar the natural roadside beau
ty but are hindrance and menace to
the travelling public.

The advent of a daughter-in-law
and a granddaughter within one
week is of such unusual occurrence
that it should not go by without
special mention being made of the
facts. Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Harry Humes
must be quite proud of the two ad-
ditions to their family. We, of
course, refer to the marriage of
their son James to Miss Mary Gar
butt, in New York city, on Monday,
July Is, at that popular edifice,
The Little Church Around the Cor
ner, and the birth of little Ruth
Clauss Humes in Marshall Hospital
on Saturday, July 13. Anniversaries
mean much to most families and as
time goes on likely the happy med
ium date will be a real time for
celebration. May the daughters of

they have become one of the Humes

GROWERS GETTING HIGH
PRICES FOR APPLES

and saved the Delaware grower
thousands of dollars in rejected
fruit.
Added to this the passing of an
apple branding law two years ago
and which was amended and improv-
ed at the recent session of the Gen
raj Assembly has aided the farmer.
I must now place his name and
address on every closed hamper, so
that any topping off, can be traced
directly to the offender.
This fine profit on early apples
and the ready sale of Delaware fruit
this season, has put new life and in
spiration into the farmer. Last year
the early apple crop was a disas-
trous one. 1t was followed through
out the summer by succession of
disappointments so that the year as
a whole was nothing to point to
with pride. But with such good re-
turns from the first fruit crop, the
orchardist and farmer is encouraged
to look forward to a better season
generally.
Tomato Outlook Good
Early tomatoes made their initial
appearance this season last week.
From reports coming to w. T. Der
ickson, director of the Bureau of
Markets, about a normal crop is
looked for. Much of the crop has
been contracted for at twenty-five
cents basket. Even at this price
farmer, it is stated, can fare all right
if the yield is heavy enough. From 8
to 10 tons of tomatoes an acre is
fair marketable crop at the twenty
five cents a basket rate. If he should
be successful in raising IL tons to
the acre, his venture is that much
more successful financially. The to-
mato plants look good, and there is
that is harming the vines
Those who have peach orchards |
are looking forward with much |
pleasure to the coming crop. Advices |
rom Georgia where the crop is |
about rs per cent of last years, and
% the Carolinas where tornadoes |
Ind other misfortunes have affected
he crop, reducing it very much, all
seem to indicate that Delaware
peaches will have a cleaner sweep in
he market this summer than per-
laps any year yet.
Furthermore the crop is fine
me. Not an abnormal one, but a fair
me, and the fruit, it is stated is
ooking excellent. The early varie-
les will be coming into market the
asst of this month, and some ex-
remedy early trees had ripe fruit on
hem this past week, but they were
-ery few of them. After this week,
he growers will begin watching for
he ones that ripen earliest in order
o obtain the top market price.

STATE MAY ADOPT NEW
FINANCE SYSTEM
[CsHtiSEed frSm first bGSe1

if any other State was directed in a
financial way any better or probably
not as well. The system not only
keeps an accurate account of things
financial, but it is always possible
for an audit, and it eliminates the
possibility of any side-stepping re-
garding bills. 1t is a practice in some
States for State bodies to receive
an appropriation from the State and
spend it as they wished to, accu-
mulating unpaid bills, that are not
paid until after a new appropriation
has been granted. 1t is just possible
that this practice may have been
adopted in Delaware.
Under the Virginia plan, such con-
duct of office is impossible. Every
three months, each State body must
present to Governor Byrd, vouchers
showing what the State funds had
been spent for. 1t was this detail
that resulted in certain institutions
in Virginia that had been tardy in
paying their bills being discovered.
There is no way of concealing how
the money has been spent, with this
plan in operation.
In Delaware, it is stated, that it is
often the practice for some body or
institution depending upon the State
for funds, to appeal for an appro-
priation for certain things. But when
the bill is enacted it only states the
sum, without specifying what the
money is to be used for. This en-
ables the institution or boz to use
it for things they consider most
and, it is stated, it has
sometimes found its way into the
salary rolls.
Only recently a situation develop
ed in which the General Assembly
had directed the State to pay a fixed
sum of money to one body, covering
for the next two years.
If the mandates of the General As
sembly had been carried out without
inquiry, the State would have lost
about $4,000 interest. But the order
was held up, and the institution com
municated with. 1t readily acquiesc-
ed to an arrangement by which its
vouchers of money spent would be
paid upon presentation. In this way,
he taxpayers of Delaware save the
oss of the $4,000 interest money.
