points out.
Russian sunflowers are the kind
usually grown in this state" he says,
land there is little choice of varieties
within this general classification. The
only satisfactory form in which to
utilize sunflowers as a forage is in
the form of silage. For this purpose,
they may be grown either alone or
mixed with corn. If planted alone.
about to IL pounds per acre is the
proper rate of seeding. When planted
with corn, the combined seeding
should be about Is pounds per acre.
The ratio of corn to sunflowers may
be varied at will within this limit.
The higher the proportion of corn in
the mixture, however, the higher the
quality of silage will be.
"Sunflowers should be planted, cul-
tivated and harvested with the same
machinery and in the same way as
corn. They may be planted for sill
age early in July with fair prospect
of success"

SUNFLOWERS MAY BE
USED FOR SILAG E

Although corn is the most desirable
crop for silage in all except the cool
est parts of Minnesota, sunflowers
make a fairly satisfactory substitute
anywhere in northern and central
Minnesota this year, if supplies of
seed corn are lacking, says A. c..
Army, farm crops specialist, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul.
At the Northeast Experiment Sta
ton, Duluth, where soil and climatic
conditions are typical of much of
northeastern Minnesota, sunflowers
for five years have yielded about 60
per cent more tonnage per acre than
corn. The higher feeding value of
corn silage, however, partly offsets
this difference. In some parts of
northern and central Minnesota, how
ever, the advantage of sunflowers
over corn in yield is much less

Secretary Central Committee Pine Co.
Farmer-Labor Association
At the regular meeting of the AsIkov
FL. Club at the ID. B. S. hall July
9, at 500 p. M, it is expected that the
people of Pine county will have the
pleasure of hearing Mrs. Marian LIE
Seur, secretary of the State FL.
Women's organization and member of
the State Board of Education. Her
and varied experiences
previous to her appointment to the
State Board of Education Jan. 4, 1884,
make her a valuable member of that
board. Mrs. LIE Seur attended Drake
Des Moines, and later at
tended the University of Chicago. For
seven years she appeared in chautau-
qua and lyceum platform work in the
middle west; two years were given as
head of the English department at
Peoples College, Fl. Scott, Kas., a
labor college devoted to the education
of workers. In this position she
brought out a text for teaching Eng
lish to adults, which she has recently
revised and issued under the title,
"Wordcraft."
At the time of her appointment,
Mrs. LIE Seur said: "My principal edu-
catiOnal project, from which l have
received the most valuable education
but for which as yet we give no de-
grees, has been the rearing of three
children.
81 have been deeply interested in
the education of the masses of the
people, and will bring to the State
Board of Education not so much the
viewpoint of the educator which
seems to be adequately represented,
but more especially the viewpoint of
the fathers and mothers who are send
ing their children to the public
schools, expecting those schools to
equip their children not only for max
ing living but for the making of a
world worth living in
The schedule for other regular FL.
meetings in the near future is as fol-
lows: Royalton, July II; Sandstone,
July 10; Willow River, July IA.

With the modernization credit plan

renovation and repair work in COM
munities all over the country is going
forward at rate far in excess of
the volume indicated in reports made
to Washington headquarters by finan-
cial institutions making insured loans
for this purpose.
Reasons for this are manifold. In
the first place. lending agencies CO.
operating with the Federal Govern
ment in this program are not re-
quired to report to Washington
headquarters until 80 days after loans
are consummated. This means that
formal reports to the Housing Ad-

cheap inert pigments and high per-

Cheap paints very soon crack and

GOOD CIRCULATION
NEEDED IN HOUSES
Reduction Of Drafts Will
Give Comfort Even at
Lower Temperatures.

A factor Of equal importance in
Winter months as in Summer is that
Of the proper circulation of fresh air
In the home.
In Summer the problem is to bring
the fresh, outside air into the rooms,
and architects plan houses to have
cross ventilation either through two
exposures or by other means. In
rooms of only one window, louvers in
doors aid cross ventilation during the
night when doors are closed. install
lation of electric exhaust fans in wall
boxes or over windows accelerates air
circulation in some cases.
The problem takes on new angles in
Winter months. however, with the
house closed tightly against the cold
and with the heating plant in opera
tion. Motionless air becomes stale and
makes the interior of the home seem
stuffy. When windows are thrown
open TO admit fresh air, the temper
ature drops and more heat is neces-
sary to counteract the chilling effect
Of the draft.
Even Temperature Best.
A we'll heated house has a compare
lively even level of temperature
Proper circulation of the heated air
will give greater equalization by coun-
teracting the effect Of drafts from in
filtration of air and cold air pockets
These are often present next to the
walls on the windward side of an un-
insulated house. With this reduction
of drafts lower temperature will give
the same feeling of warmth and conse-
quent fuel savings will result.
Each house presents a different
problem in circulation. In general, the
basis is the proper location of radiators
or registers. These are placed under
windows to form a curtain of heat
against the cold air from the window.
Radiator Attention Valuable.
In any system, a uniform heating
of all radiators is desirable. Correc-
tion of any flaws will be found worth
the expense in better heating and
lower fuel bills.
With a hot air system, heating can
he greatly improved by the introduc-
tion of silent electric blower at the
point of intake of the air ducts. This
will cause greatly accelerated move
ment of air at lower temperature
making the house more comfortable
and overcoming to great degree cold
pockets in rooms near windows or ex-
posed walls. The air will not seem
stale or stuffy to breathe.
