F, us what good bargains they
have for us.
Money rates are low. Money,
they say, is cheaper and
easier to get than 1t has been
for years. All these things
doubtless are true. Yet they
chase each other-these allied
conditions-round and round
the circle and begin where
they leave off.
# a man is not working and
earning how is he going to be
able to take advantage Of the
chances to buy the things
that he wants and needs? If
it takes all-and very often
more-than a man has. to buy
food for the table, pay his
rent and clothe the bodies Of
his little ones, how is he go

ties to buy other desirable
things which are being
Haunted before him.
This kind of talk about fur

For more than a year. It

something better must result

In a letter sent out to contestants

will pay him to feed his pigs just as
well as he knows how because the
September and early October markets

therefore lies along the road to

TELLS HOW TO PLAN
GOOD CANNING BUDGET

Homemakers who wish to insure
having adequate supplies of canned
foods and satisfactory variety of
them for next winters use, should
plan their canning budgests at once,
says Miss Myrna L. Hovlid, foods in
structor of the home economics divi-
sion at University Farm, St. Paul.
Things to be considered, she says,
are the nutritional requirements, the
number of months in the year when
fresh fruits and vegetables are avail
able, the size of the family, personal
likes and dislikes, and available foods
and their relative costs.
Since during at least four months
of the year fresh foods may be de-
pended upon, the canning budget
needs only to provide for the other
eight months. From the nutritional
viewpoint, two servings of vegetables
other than potatoes, and two fruits
should be included in the diet daily.
At least one fresh fruit and vegetable
should be supplied each day.
The amount of food to be canned
may be estimated from the number
of servings obtained from a quart,
which is approximately eight of can
ned fruit or vegetables. In planning
for one adult the following allowance
would meet the dietary needs when
supplemented with fresh fruits and
vegetables; IA quarts of tomatoes, 10
of spinach or other greens, three of
corn, two Of string beans or green
lima beans, three of green peas, six
each of peaches, pears, and strawber-
ries, and four each of blackberries,
cherries, and plums. The choice of
products may vary with the locality,
likes and dislikes, and uses.
Whether or not meats are to be
canned would be mainly dependent
upon the original cost of the product.
If available at fairly low prices, a
sufficient amount may we'll be can
ned, particularly in rural communi-
ties, to provide for two or three serv
ings a week.
A record of canned foods prepared
and used during the year will aid
materially in planning the canning
budget for the following year.

Keep Roadsides Neat,
Plant Trees, Is Plea
Right--Of-Way Will Be Cleaned
by Highway Department, But
Public Asked to Help

An appeal to owners of property
fronting on state trunk highways to
keep their premises neat and clean,
was made this week by c. M. Bah
cock, commissioner of highways.
Everything possible will be done by
the Highway maintenance organiza-
ton to keep the roadsides attractive,
Mr.. Babcock states, but the authori-
ty of the department extends only to
the edge of the right-of-way, and he
asks for the cooperation of private
property owners in the roadside
Identification campaign.
Minnesota from all indications
will have more tourists this summer
than ever before, and they will near
ly all come over the trunk high
ways" Mr.. Babcock says. "Their
first impression of the state will be
the picture presented by the highway
roadsides. We want that impression
to be favorable, for we want them to
come again, and we want as many of
them as possible to stay here.
'The request to cooperate in max
ing the roadsides attractive applies
to city and country alike. Where the
highways enter some of the towns,
there are piles of rubbish and other
eye sores which ought to be removed.
But we should go farther than mere
ly removing what is disagreeable.
People who own property fronting on
the trunk highways can help by
planting trees and shrubbery and
otherwise identifying their premises.
If property owner is trying to sell
his property or is looking for tourist
business, fixing up his premises will
pay him well. But even if he does
not profit financially, he will be
showing himself a public spirited CT
tiZen.
''The Highway department will do
all it can to keep the roadsides at
tractive," said Mr.. Babcock. "Main-
tenance crews will remove rubbish,
cut weeds, and keep the right-of-way
as clean as possible. Road shoulders
and enbankments are seeded with
grass both of appearance and to pre-
vent erosion. No trees will be cut
unless it is necessary to do so to pro-
vide sight distance or to prevent
snow drifts.
Unfortunately in this climate
trees planted too close to the road
way cause drifts. To avoid blocking
the road in winter, trees should be
at least rs feet from the center of
the road. Since our right-ofway is
from 66 to 100 feet, it is obvious that
trees cannot be planted on highway
property. Trees on private property
near the roadsides will not only make
the highway more attractive, but
they will help to prevent snow block
AIDES and lessen the need of snow
fences"

25 MORE PROHIBITION
AGENTS FOR NORTHWEST

S. B. Qvale, Federal prohibition adj
ministrator for the Northwest dis
trict, recently announced that he
asked for 25 additional agents for
his force, after July l. There are
now 90 men on the district force.
The present force is inadequate to
cover the large district which in
cludes Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and the western judicial dis
trict of Wisconsin. More men are
particularly needed in Wisconsin
where the state dry law had been re-
pealed and this force is the only en-
forcing agency.

STATEWIDE COW TEST
PLAN is ANNOUNCED

Individual cow records will soon be
within the reach of every Minnesota
dairyman as the result of a new
state wide cow testing association
plan offered by agricultural extern
sion division of the University of
Minnesota. Farmers desiring to
secure records on their cows in ac-
cordance with the plan once each
month will. weigh the milk from each
cow, night and morning, sample it
and mail the samples to a central
testing laboratory along with the
milk records. The state laboratory
will then test the samples and COM
pute production records for each cow,
mailing the results back to the farm
err.
All equipment, except scales for
weighing milk will be furnished by
the central laboratory. Sample box
es containing individual sample cans
and milk record sheets will be mailed
each co-operator once a month. Be-
sides rendering each co-operator a
monthly production record for each
cow in his herd, the central office
will furnish him an annual herd sum-
mary showing the milk and butter
fat production of each animal as
well as the average production of
the herd for the year.
In addition to the records mention
ed, a field service for co-operators
will also be maintained, according to
H. R. Searles, extension dairy spe-
cialist, who will have direct supervi-
sion Of the plan for at least the first
two years. This field service will be
given by a feldman who will work
with groups of co-operators locally,
interpreting for them the informa-
ton gained from testing, and assist
ing them with problems in dairy
feeding, breeding and management.
The testing costs will be SIS
year for herds Of 10 cows or less and
81 a year for each additional cow.
This plan is not intended to supplant
the standard dairy herd improvement
associations now in operation, but
rather to make a testing service
to dairymen who cannot, or do not
wish to belong to standard testing
group, Mr.. Searles explains.
