BANANA is EXCELLENT
FRUIT FOR CHILDREN

Bannas are valuable addition to
the child's diet and are an excellent
substitute for the candy he Graves.
according to Miss Gertrude Dinsmore
nutrition specialist, University Farm,
st. Paul. Bananas are eaten with re-
lish by most children, so are extreme
ly valuable to tmept the appetite of
the finicky child and at the same
time give him extra food value, Miss
Dinsmore says. Bananas have been
found to be very effective in stimula-
ting gain in weight Of undernourish-
ed and convalescing children.
The old objection that bananas
were harmful or difficult to digest
can be laid to two reasons. First,
banas are very soft and easily swal-
lowed; hence often they are not chew
ed thoroughly. Second, trouble often
results from eating bananas that are
not thoroughly ripe. A golden yell
low banana, flecked with brown spots,
with no tinge of green is in the pro-
per stage for eating raw. A yellow
bannan with green tips is not ready
to be eaten raw, but is excellent for
baking. The banna can be baked in
the skin, split lengthwise, and eaten
with a spoon. Or the peel may be re-
the banana split lengthwise
and baked with honey.
The banana is quite outstanding in
its iron content, is an excellent source
of vitamin C, especially when eaten
raw, and is good source of vitamins
A and B. These vitamins are very
essential to the health. vigor, and
growth of all children. However,
bananas should not be used in Excess
sive amounts but as a valuable sup
plement to a diet consisting of milk,
cereals, vegetables, and other fruits,
Miss Dinsmore advises.

BAG LIMITS ON WATERFOWL
REDUCED FOR NEXT SEASON

f, Secretary Hyde advised today that
upon his accommodation the daily
bag limits of ducks and geese allowed
gunners will be reduced for the next
season, that is 193O-31, by changes in
the Federal regulations under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
The necessity for this reduction has
become evident from exhaustive field
investigation by the Department of
Agriculture, which has disclosed that
waterfowl have not been holding
their own in the past year. The un-
usual draught that prevailed during
the past season, and the reclamation
of large former breeding grounds in
the northwest States and Canada,
have resulted in cumulative losses of
great areas of marsh and water.
This reduction has been vigorously
insisted upon by the principal game
association, the Izaak Walton League
associations, the Izaak Walton Lea
que of America, the Western Associa-
ton of State Game Commissioners,
the Association of North Central
States Game and Fish Departments,
and several others.
At its annual meeting in December
the American Game Conference, at
tended by representative sportsmen
and conservationists from all parts
of the continent, adopted resolutions
to this end. At it's annual meeting in
Washington in December, the Migra-
tory Bird Treaty Act Advisory Board,
made up of representative sportsmen
and game conservationists from all
parts of the country, passed resolu-
ton by an almost unanimous vote
urging that this. action be taken.
The regulations will go in force
after the present season, and the bag
will be reduced from present limit on
ducks of 25 to Is a day and on
geese from to day and posses
sion limit of 80 ducks and 8 geese is
also prescribed.

PIGS MULTIPLY WEIGHT
$50 TIMES IN $50 DAYS

Fourteen pigs, all belonging to the
same litter, grew almost like mush-
rooms to win the 1929 Minnesota
Ton-Litter Contest. The pigs, which
were raised by Allen Baughman of
Randall, a Morrison county All club
boy, multiplied their original weights
approximately $50 times in 100 days.
Farrowed on April 10, these ID pork
ers weigher about one and three-four-
tbs pounds apiece, but when weighed
October 16, they averaged 264.2
pounds.
Sixty-one litters weighing from
zoos to 300 pounds were reported
at the close of the contest, which is
sponsored annually by the Minneso-
ia Livestock Breeders association.
According to H. G. Zavoral, extern
sion livestock specialist, University
Farm, st. Paul, who has charge of the
contest, there were 1876 entries from
3s counties. The average weight of
the 81 litters which attained the tom
litter mark was 1853 pounds. The
average number of pigs raised per
litter was 108. Minnesota's average
is about 5.
The object of the ton-litter contest
is to raise more pigs per litter and
bring them to marketable weight in
six months. Mr.. Zavoraps observa-
tions indicate that the outstanding
factors determining success in ton
litter work and profit in pork produc-
ton are: use of well bred breeding
stock of improved type; proper feed
ing of sows during CESSATION; control
