TELLS HOW TO PLAN
GOOD CANNING BUDGET

Homemakers who wish to insure
having adequate supplies Of canned
foods and a 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 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 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.. Rabcock 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-of-way is
from sc 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 60 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.

HOG CONTEST ENTRIES
WILL CLOSE JUNE l

Prompt action is necessary on the
part of Minnesota hog growers, in
GLIDING All club boys and girls, who
wish to enter the state pork produc-
ton or ton-litter contests, as entries
for both of these events will close
June 1. Both contests are sponsored
annually by the Minnesota Livestock
Breeders association, which awards
liberal cash prizes to those compel
ing.
Information may be obtained from
county agents, club leaders or high
school tie a cheers of agriculture,
through whom entries may also be
made, or persons desiring may write
H. G. Zavoral, extension livestock
specialist, University Farm, St. Paul,
who conducts these contests.
In letter sent out to contestants
who have already signed up, Mr..
pZavoral points out that whether or
not given individual may win, it
will pay him to feed his pigs just as
well as he knows how because the
September and early October markets
have always been higher than Deem
Der prices. The aim of the contests
therefore lies along the road to
greatest profits.
With about Is entries already made
in the pork production race, Mower
county is far in the lead with As.
Mobiles county tops the list in num-
Der of ton-litter entries with II. In
dications at the middle of May were
that while the pork production en-
rollment is the largest ever obtained,
the ton-litter entries were somewhat
short of the number last year.

STATEWIDE COW TEST
PLAN is ANNOUNCED

Individual cow records will soon be
within the reach of every Minnesota
dairyman as the result of 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
er.
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, 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.

Walls of Water Will
Protect Gotham Vault

New York.-Walls of water through
which cracksmen in time Of peace or
enemies in time of war could only
penetrate by the use of submarine
apparatus will surround the great
vault Of the Irving Trust company at
Its new headquarters at 1 Wall street
This remarkable protective feature
will be supplemental to an elaborate
system of mechanical, chemical and
electrical safeguards in the second
largest vault in the city and the third
largest In the world. Only the vaults
Of the New York Federal Reserve bank
and the Bank Of England are larger
than the treasure house in the new
Irving Trust home.
Preparations are now we'll advanced
for the installation Of the three-story
vault. It will rest on foundations cut
into solid rock and will occupy al
most the entire block front along Wall
street, between Broadway and New
street, with depth from front to rear
Of 40 feet.
The bottom of the vault will be
SO feet below Broadway, well below
sea level. 1t is this feature that
made possible the water wall, regard
ed as the last word in vault protec-
ton. The only way by which the out
side Of the vault may be reached
when the building is finished and the
vault sides flooded, is by an elaborate
systam of air locks and numns srch
as tunnel workers under the river use.

FOR coNSTlRATIoR
''Davy Jones" Long the
Evil Spirit of Sailors

There have been numerous guesses
as to the origin Of 'sDavy Jones'" It
has been said that "Davy" is con-
nected with "deva," from which we
have our word devil" According to
Brewer, "Jones'' is corruption of
Jonah, the prophet, who was thrown
into the sea. LOCKER" in seaman's
phrase, means any repetacle for pri-
vate stores; and duffy" is a ghost
or spirit among the West Indian
negroes. The whole phrase is, HE
Is gone to the place of safekeeping,
where duffy Jonah was sent" Smol-
let's "Peregrine Pickle" chapter 13,
says: ''This same Davy Jones, ac-
cording to the mythology Of sailors,
is the fend that presides over all
the evil spirits of the deep, and is
seen in various shapes, warning the
devoted wretch Of death and woe"

TWO LOST LETTERS
BETRAY CRIME RING
Counterfeiting and Dope
Peddling Uncovered.

| New York.-Two letters dropped
carelessly ON Times Square subway
platform and sent to Federal Attorney
Charles FL. Tuttle by an anonymous
finder have led to the uncOvering of a
drug ring, fence for stolen goods and
a counterfeiting nest that has an in
ternational twist.
Danny Ross and Peggy Pearl, a
| petite, fair haired, rather attractive
| girl, who have q marriage certificate
said to be forged, are charged with be-
ing the New York end Of the crime
triumvirate that was broken up within
two days. They are held in $4,000
bail.
Washington is preparing extradition
papers for IL more said to be impli-
Gated in the rings in Montreal.
Both letters were addressed to
Danny Ross at 80 Post avenue, Man
haitian, postmarked Montreal. One
was signed "Joe," the other, "our pal,
Larry"
Mentioned "Phoney" Bills.
In the letter from Larry there is
this line:
peggy told me that you had some
phoney $40 bills"
That was enough. George Mintzer,
In charge of Tuttles dope and drug
division, thought the letters showed
possibilities. They did.
He went to 30 Post avenue and
found man, naked, cooking opium.
1t turned out to be Danny Ross. There
was girl there, too, in sealskin
coat. She said she was Peggy Pearl,
that the two were married, but the
marriage certificate, federal author
tiles claim, looks very much like one
with other names erased.
And Danny Ross said his real name
is David Rosenberg. In his pockets
were found $500 in fake $40 bills.
Stolen goods were found throughout
the apartment, officials saying the
place was a "fence."
There was another line in the letter
from Larry:
Montreal Gets Busy.
"Tll phone you when know some
thing"
Larry did. But Chief of Provincial
Police Doria in Montreal had been
tipped off first.
A few hours later from Hungarian
restaurant on St. Lawrence boulevard,
Montreal, a call was put through to
Lorraine 3647 in New York. This is
the phone number at 30 Post road.
But Danny wasn't there to answer it.
A telephone girl in Montreal hest
tated bit in plugging through the
call and notified the Provincial police
as instructed. A few minutes. later
two men who said they were Joseph
Palmer and Max Goldberg-who is
Larry-were picked up. Others are
being sought and the ring may reach
IL, Tuttle believes.

PARROT ALMOST

New York.-A hundred and sixty
the riches Of their limited yocabularies
here when they were ordered by the
public health officials to spend thirty
days at Hoffman's island under OBJ
servation for signs of parrot fever.
One bird, more talented than the
others, almost got ashore by posing
as kitten, but at the last moment
betrayed himself by directing an I'M
complimentary epithet at one of the
ships officers.
All the birds came in on the Colon
bia of the Panama Mail line, which
arrived from San Francisco after stop
ping at Central American ports to col
lect the parrots, seven macaws, two
toucans and fifty ring tailed monkeys.
Mrs. Margaret Daily, a stewardess,
also had a parrot and she wanted bad
ly to get in the city. She knew that
it would be suspected Of carrying psit-
tacosis, but she was morally certain
the bird was well. So she taught 1t to
meow like cat and then put it in
wicker cage covered with cloth.
"What's in the cage?" asked a Gus
toms agent.
"A kitten" she said.
'Meow!" said the parrot in confir-
nation. "Meeeeeeow!"
Then through a chink it caught
sight Of a ships officer.
"Hello, you
1t jovially remarked.
"What kind Of kitten is that, any
way?' said the inspector.
He tore off the cloth around the
cage.
"Hoffman's island for you, fellow
he said.
Meow" said the parrot.
There was considerable debate be-
tween Inspector James Duffy and Dep
uty Surveyor Of Customs John Tay-
lor as to the status of the seven
macaws and the two toucans. They
were finally admitted when DR.. Lee
Craseall, representing the Department
Of Agriculture, said they were NOT
