Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I would appreciate it very
much if you will tell me who
gives the housewarming party
when a married couple have
their first apartment? Is it
given as a party or as a shower
with gifts? Does anybody have
o housekeeping shower on her?
She had a bridal shower. B.
The houSewarming party,
given to greet their friends in
their new home, is usually given
by the couple themselves. It
may, Of course, be arranged by
q group Of friends Of the couple.
and gifts may be brought to the
party.
But since in this case there
were pre-wedding house warm
ing party showers, this would
be a gracious way for the couple
to return" some of these cour-
tesies. Usually after the wed.
ding the couple plan to give
some sort of party in which
they are the hosts, and this is
. charming type Of party.

Afraid to Tell of Her
Engagement

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 81 and engaged to q
man. and we both feel we are
Just made for each other
though he is somewhat older
than I am. But my folks are
very prejudiced against him,
and threaten me If we are seen
together. We expect to be mar
ried in the spring, he's a radio
technologist, and has q five
year contract. for work.
I don't know how to tell my
parents about our engagement,
and least Of all, about our
coming wedding, as I've always
been a good, obedient girl and
have done what they said. I
had a job, but am now among
the unemployed. ENGAGED.
I wish you had told me
more about this young man.
and why your parents are 50
opposed to your marrying him.
You are al and are both very
much in love, and he has q
good job. All this puts him
in the eligible class. Why not
take the matter up with your
mother and father, and tell
them that you expect to marry
this young man in the spring.
Please try to be as gentle as
possible when you break the
news to them. II they have
any actual reason for object
ing to him as your future huS-
band, that will give them .
chance to tell you about it.

Dairy Program

While news publicity has been
given to the fact that the dairy pro-
gram is to be set up a good deal as
the wheat and the corn-hog pro-
grams have been set up and that
blanks are under way for the begin
ming of Their program, the county
agent was informed last week that
the program is not to be definitely
started until April /. This will, we
hope, serve many dairymen from be-
coming to anxious because they do
not hear of immediate starting of the
program in the county.
Since we do not have details of just
how the plan is to operate, he says,
it is almost impossible for us to Of
fer suggestions as to information
which the dairymen should begin to
gather in taking care of applications
and contracts when the program is
set up. We do think it advisable
however that dairymen as far as pos
sible, and with what they have avail
able, begin to check carefully the
number of cows and young stock
which they have kept on the farm
over a period of three or four years.
We also think it will be well to ac-
cumulate all the information that can
be gathered as to best production in
butterfat and milk which has been
sold from the farm.
AS soon as the definite program
has been announced news items call
ing attention to information which
Will be asked for, will be published.

of some popular song. This might
possibly make the operator think
she was at dance, and increase
her good humor.
The next step requires several
minutes. This occurs while you
are waiting for the operator to
get your party. The approved po-
sition for this interval is a head
stand. This permits the blood to
rush to your head and increases
any irritability you may already
have. While on your head, kick
your feet against the box contain
ing the telephone bell. This should
be done to the rhythm 1884.
All activity Of this sort keeps the
operator informed Of your waiting
presence.
Finally you hear an inquiring
voice saying, "Hello" in your ear.
The voice is signal for a quick
return to a standing position via
the double back somersault. Now
that normal position has been
recovered, the conversation should
according to all telephone etiquitte
scream into the mouthpiece,
Hello, old walrus." That ends the
problem Of starting the converse
ton.
Now that all formalities are
over, the conversation is in full
swing. 1t is more according to
Pemilee Ost' if the words are
mumbled so that your friend on
the other end of the wire can un-
derstand only half that you may
say. 1t simplifies matters, also for
you can call him any names you
may beside without arousing ami
mostly. During the course of this
conversation Russian dance may
be given. This would add to the
amusement of the person at the
other end Of the wire, for we all
love to hear strange noises which
we can not understand. 1t is to
be expected that the operators will
interrupt several times, saying
that you are disturbing their after
noon maps, but it goes without
saying that you must pay no at
tention to anything they may say.
AS a helpful conclusion to this
polite telephone conversation,
jump up and down six times,
while saying in a very mannerly
way, 81 have enjoyed this CONVEX
sation so much that / hope !
never have to call you again"
With a concluding birdlike call
into the mouthpiece, throw til e
telephone upon the floor.
All graduates from this course
should refrain from using the Of

C0rn-H0g Program

Now that the poultry and horticul-
tural schools are out of the way the
corn-hog program will be taken up
and completed as rapidly as those in
terested in the program can get their
material together for the final sign
up. Corn and hog growers, who have
signed and any others interested in
the program should attempt within
the next few days to get all of the
information at all possible SO that
when the next meeting is held which
Will be very soon, applications and
contracts may be completed. The
rapldlty with which the program will
now be closed will depend largely up
on the efforts of the farmer to secur-
ing and giving all of the information
requested as far as this is possible.

TELEPHONE MANNERS
Am Hasty, "a

Talking on the telephone re-
quires a technique that can be
mastered only through constant
practice. We all know many un-
suspecting and innocent souls who
provide no interest for the really
clever telephone conversational
list, yet think they have perfect
manners.
The graduate of an approved
course in telephone conversation
knows that invariably the operat-
ors do not believe in speed. The
average person takes up the re-
ceiver, and waits hopefully for the
operators loving tones to CRATE in
his ear, Number please?" The
please is drawn out, so that all the
other operators can hear her
pleasant helpfulness. While this is
going on, the only correct thing to
do is to lightly hum the chorus

RELIEF rs PLANNED
FOR DAIRY FARMER
Broad Program of Dairy Production
Control to be Announced Shortly
by A. A. A. Organization

A broad program of diary produc-
ton adjustment will shortly be offer
ed to dairymen of Washington and
the nation according to telegram
received by E. F. Balmer, director OF
the agricultural extension service at
the state college, from G. w. Warbur-
ton, head of the federal extension
service. The new plan will probably
be presented to dairymen through
county agricultural agents of the ex-
tension service as soon as detailed in
structions are received.
"The production control program
will supplement the new policy of the
agricultural adjustment administers
tion regarding marketing agreements
in placing emphasis upon producer
prices" declared Director Balmer.
"Although in normal times the value
of dairy products produced in the
state ranges from $25.000,000 to $780,
100000 annually, dairymen have been
compelled to sell their products at
less than cost of production in recent
years.
"The primary purpose of the adj
justment plan will be to provide good
prices to dairy farmers by achieving
a proper balance between production
and consumer demand. If this balance
is attained through production con-
troll and is not upset by unreasonable
resale prices charged by distributors
in milk sheds, dairymen will get
fair share of returns to the industry.
THE new policy of Secretary Wal
lace holds that powers of government
under the agricultural adjustment
act should be used to lift farm prices
and not distributors prices" pointed
out Mr.. Balmer. aOne of the import
ant current issues in the dairy indus
try is whether a fair share of re-
turns should go to the dairy farmer
or whether major share of profits
taken from producers and consumers
should go to a few companies distrib-
uting milk. The new program in
tends to give both fair share of the
profits"
Complete details of the production
control plan will be announced as soon
as they are released by the agricul-
tural adjustment administration.

DAIRY HERDS IMPROVED
BY PRODUCTION RECORDS

Facts and figures furnished by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture have given New York
dairy farmers the guide they need
in determining which cows earn
their board and which do not. Gull
ing out non-producers saves time,
effort, and money and insures the
superior herds that have given
the Empire State it's lead as pro-
Queer Of high quality dairy prod
ucts worth more than $50, 000, 900
annually.
Tabulation Of production and
cost of production figures several
years ago showed that each New
York cow producing 100 pounds Of
butterfat each year returned only
81 over feed costs. Cows produc-
ing 200 pounds returned $40,
those producing 800 pounds re-
turned sos and those producing
400 pounds returned $131.
With this clear demonstration
that any demand for more milk
should be met by improving, rath-
er than increasing herds, the Bur-
eau Of Dairy Industry Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, with the
cooperation Of the State College Of
Agriculture, began an intensive
campaign for better cows on all
dairy farms. This campaign CEN
tered around three lines Of attack
elimination of low-yielding cows,
use of proved bulls, and better
feeding practices.
Accurate production records are
essential in getting rid of unprof-
table cows. To obtain such records
an effort has been made to have
as many cows on test as possible.
On January 1, 1888, New York
State had II dairy herd-improve-
ment associations with more than
10000 cows on test. The average
production of these cows in 1892
was 5000 pounds of milk, contain
ing 295 pounds of butterfat. This
is nearly 20 percent above the av-
erage production for all cows in
the state.
New York now leads all the 9TH
err states in proving bulls by the
records of their daughters. Last
year 140 dairy bulls were proved
by comparing the yearly produc-
ton records of five or more daugh-
tiers of each bull with the produc-
ton records of their dams. The
average yearly production Of the
dams with which these sires were
mated was 10,057 pounds of milk,
containing 1858 pounds of butter
fat. The daughters averaged H.
Ola pounds of milk, containing 412
pounds of buterfat, q producing
gain of 957 pounds or 9.5 percent
of milk and A pounds, or IL per-
cent Of butterfat.
