APPLE POMACE FOOD VALUE

Apple pomace, heretofore a source
OF worry to manufacturers of apple
cider. has become boon to dairy
men because of it's splendid food
value" states E. v. Ellington, head
OF the State College department. of
dairy husbandry.
THE pomace. which is the solid
residue left after the juice has been
pressed from the fruit, has long been
a waste product. and it's disposal has
meant problem. Experiments now
have proved that the pomace is equal
pound for pound in feed value to
corn silage, and is very similar in it's
chemical makeup. The pomace Is
palatable and may be fed at the
same rate as the sligo; the apple pro-
duct should. however, be weighed
occasionally because it is not as bulky
as silage and is apt to be misleading
as to quantity"
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1930-12-05
ORIGINAL USE OF DRESS

"The original use of dress was
merely accidental and only later be-
came painfully arranged. Clothin 2
in its earliest forms was worn not
for modesty's sake, but to win re-
spect and admiration from other per-
sons,' declares Helen K. Robson,
assistant professor of textiles and
clothing at the State College.
I'm the early days the successful
hunter or warrior brought home the
trophies of his victories and wore
them on his person, where they were
an ever present witness of his valor.
They came to serve the double pur-
pose of protection and ornamentation.
These trophy clothes came to be a
mark of class distinction and dis
tinguished the successful from the
unsuccessful. Decoration and dis
play, including tattooing, daubing the
body with paint, blackening the teeth,
and wearing trinkets came into vogue
long before clothing designed fo-
pure prote, ton.
"The love for personal adornmeut
is displayed in every tribe of people
about whom there is any knowledge,
and there are no PEOPLE so rude as
not to take pleasure in ornaments.
The desire for the approval of ones
fellows is present in the human be-
ing in all stages of culture"

FEDERAL FARM BOARD
PRAISED

Copies of clippings from Chicago
papers and quotations from leading
Chicago brokers point to very def
mite attitude on the part of many
toward the Federal farm board and
it's program since they have come
into the purchasing of wheat this
fall. It would seem that people
are becoming little more informed
as to the real program Of the board
and it's effort to assist the farmers
of the country to a cooperative mar
keting program.
It has been the feeling Of groups
that the farm board has averted q
panic through their timely purchase
Of grain IN ssabslizing the price at q
figure from seven 70 eighteen cents
PER bushel above price IN other world
markets. According to one Of the
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1930-12-05

Feeders of hogs, sheep, beef cattle,
dairy cows or poultry cannot afford
to overlook this opportunity to feed
low prices wheat. According to the
u S. D. A. bulletin No. o6, entitled
Feeding Wheat to Livestock" when
corn is worth 81 a bushsl, wheat is
worth $1.o7 or sheep and poultry, and
SLIP a bushel as feed for hogs, beet
cattle and dairy cows. This bulletin or
any information regarding wheat ra.
tiens may be secured BY addressing
