TWO delicious cakes for the
l holiday season are found in
Apple Sauce Cake" and Cara
mel Nut Cake"
Apple sauce cake uses no eggs
and very little butter, but is fruity
and delectable. Citron, candied
peels and candied fruits can be
added to suit your taste. Add up
to one cup of fruit if you want a
cake that rivals rich fruit cake.
Caramel nut cake is rich with
butter and eggs and has an un-
usually velvety texture. Although
il contains no fruit, its rich nutty
flavor makes il excellent for holi-
day entertaining
Both these cakes keep excel
.lently and are convenient to have
on hand. Cut in slices and served
with whipped cream they make
very acceptable puddings.

SCANDINAVIAN IRE

IT comes as something of a shock to
L learn that hard feelings between ma
tions are not confined to central Eu-
ropean countries, Latin-American eoun-
tries and various other nations which
figure so prominently and so consistent
" in the newspaper headlines.
Usually, if we think of Scandinavian
countries, we think of them as quiet,
peaceable, thrifty and Industrious, too
busy minding their own business and let
ting the other nations mind theirs, to
have much time for disputes.
Now come Norwoy and Denmark

the fuss is about Greenland. We thought
nobody would ever want to start quar-

wear a national research council
fellow at Cornell university, has
been named assistant botanist IN
the University Of California agrl-
cultural station, TO institute weed
investigations in the state looking
toward control Of weeds and a re-
duotion Of losses to farmers from
weeds. This announcement was
made today by Dr.. W. L. Howard,
director of the Branch Of the Col
lege OF Agriculture here, where Dr..
Crafts will be stationed.
Dr.. w. w. Robbins, head OF a
botany division, has during the past
year been active in instituung
campaign for weed control in Cali
fornia. Working with Walter 5.
Ball Of the state department OF ag-
riculture, he has held meetings ard
demonstration in all parts Of the
state. The interest thus aroused, 1t
is said, is responsible for the ap-
pointment Of Crafts, who is to con-
tinue the work.
Crafts entered the University OF
California as a freshman in 1915,
but in 1917 was forced to leave
school for eight years. when he en-
gagged in farming in MendocinO
county. He returned to the uni
versity, on the campus here, in
1925. graduating from the College
of Agriculture in December, 1927,
with highest honors in agriculture.
In 1890 he received his degree Of
doctor Of philosophy in plant ply
siology, his thesis subject being
The Movement Of Organic Mate
rial in Plants" He was a member
of Alpha Zenta, Phi Beta Kappa.
Sigma Xi, Gamma Alpha and Al
pha Beta honor societies.
Or Crafts comes well equipped TO
undertake the weed investigation
program in California says DR..
Robbins. We hope to work out
practical methods Of control and to
reduce the tremendous losses that
farmers Of the state suffer annually
from weeds. His technical training,
together with his experience as a
practical farmer. gives assurance
that he will have the background
necessary for this work, which is

EXPECT BARLEY
PRICES WILL BE
ON Low SCALE

Barley prices during the next five
years cannot be expected to average
as high as they have during the
past 10 years. In making tins
statement, E. w. Braun OF the Uni
versity of California agricultural ex-
tension service, points out that pro-
duction in Russia is likely to expand
very rapidly and that the United
States is >the only country where
the upward trend of production ap-
pears to have been checked.
Braun discusses the barley situ-
alton fully in Bulletin 512 Of the
College OF Agriculture, recently pub
lished. This bulletin, entitled Bar

farm advisors office, court house,

tribution from the Giannini Foun-
dation of Agricultural Economics.
Before the war;" says Braun,
California barley exports by water
amounted to only 10000 tons, or
16 per cent of the total barley pro-
duction of the state. Since 1920
California has exported by water
between one-half and one third OF
its production; the average during
l926-l929 amounted to 250,000 tons,
or 34.5 per cent of the average pro-
duction. OF this 218,000 tons. or
81 per cent, went to the United
Kingdom, the remaining $4,000 tons
or 13 per cent, was taken by other
countries.

Summer days are outdoor days

dinners Just as flavorful as usual.
No matter how warm the sum

is essential. Baked foods retain
their natural food elements which
are sometimes lost when cooked in
large amounts of water. BY using
modern utensils with close fitting
lids little or no water is needed for
most vegetables-and how good the
