Business Helped
By Farm Census
Various Lines OF Business Need
Data Provided By Farm
Statistics

Business men have vital need for
statistics derived from the United
States census of agriculture, an
nounced a report sent out by the
Department OF Commerce, Bureau
of Census.
Agriculture is one of the basic liz
dustries of the nation and as the
farm situation at present is most
important from an economic
standpoint, farm statistics are of
paramount value, the report con-
tinueS.
During the past year, one of the
most important factors in the drive
for recovery has been to increase
the purchasing power of the farm
ers. The grain and packing in
dustries, manufacturers of farm
machinery, anc many others need
accurate data on the various
phases of farm production"
The census of agriculture, to be
taken January 2, 1885, will provide
the public with data showing all
farm statistics and these figures
will serve as indicators of money
spent by inhabitants of rural dist
riots for needed commodities.

MONOPOLY is REPORTED
IN MILK CODE OPERATION
(Seattle TineS)

Washington's Agricultural Adjust
ment Act has increased the price of
milk and other dairy products to
the consumer without helping the
farmer, a delegation of distributors
and producers told members of tine
King county legislative delegation
at the weekly conference held at
the Frye Hotel. Repeal of the AAA
would be preferable to continuing
present conditions, they said. An
other hearing will be held Thursday.
AS a result of the increased retail
price of milk, consumption has fall
len off from 10 to 20 per cent, Will
liam H. Pemberton, milk distributor
and baker, told the assembled "legis-
lators. The best solution, he said,
would be to regulate the price paid
the producer and to let the distrib-
utors get the business where they
could. The Seattle area is the only
place in the state where first grade
milk is selling for II cents a quart,
Mr.. Pemberton asserted. Tacoma,
Everett and Spokane have a retail
price of 10 cents quart.
Anything that reduces the con-
sumption of fresh dairy products is
not helping the farmer" Mr.. Penn
berton said. "Nor does it promote
and conserve the public health. The
present milk code is driving bus;-
ness more and more toward mon
opoly of large distributors, to the
detriment of the farmers who are
getting the Seattle price for only
IS per cent of their product where
as this time last year they were
getting the Seattle price for IS per
cent, although the consumers are
paying cents more quart than
a year ago.

from which to select. A fine Juicy
young turkey heads the list because
of tradition, but in eating quality
doesn't exceed capon, duck, loin of
pork, rib from a prime beef, leg of
fancy young lamb, or tender Juicy
young goose. A properly cooked
roast will have golden brown ten
der crust on the outside, be nicely
done to the very center, and when
sliced will be so full of juice that
the juice will ooze out of the slices.
To keep this good juice in a roast,
the roast must be scared well before
roasting. This may be done by
browning on all sides in very hot
pan on top of the stove, or it may
be done in the oven with broiling
temperature. After soaring the roast
IN the oven, reduce the tempera-
ture. 1t will be well to turn the
flame down to $50 degrees to 275
degrees Fahrenheit and leave the
oven for or four minutes. Meat
should be roasted slowly in order to
be tender.
Unless you have an especially fine
recipe for dressing, plan to have a
new variation. There are many
things which may be added to the
usual recipe to make the dressing
more delicious and interesting.
Sliced almonds and celery are good
in poultry dressing, and apples and
raisins in pork dressing. Sliced
water chestnuts add a crispness
which is very pleasing.
For vegetables, select small onions
and carrots and cook them whole
around the roast. This will greatly
improve the flavor. Plan for only
one small onion and carrot to each
each serving, so that you may also
serve a green vegetable such as
peas or string beans, to add color
to the plate and insure that all
guests will be pleased with the
vegetable selection.

THE HOLIDAY MENU

The approaching season calls Wis
ions to the mind of the housewife,
OF big home coming, an exchange
OF merry conversation, and a table
laden with fine foods. This is, in
deed. the time of the year when the
fingers of every cook itch to be do
ing holiday cooking. Many of the
foods are traditional, and an indis-
pensible part Of the seasons cere-
mony, but every menu should pos
sess items which cause CALCULATIONS
of happy surprise.
The first course of this full menu
must not satisfy, but tease the APP
petite and. make it beg for more.
If the weather is very nippy, use a
hot soup. Don't select one which
Is fat and filling but one which has
the stimulating zest of meat and
vegetable juices. There are numer-
GUS cOnsommeS and bouillonS from
which to select, such as ruby con-
somme, chicken broth with Danish
noodles, and Scotch broth. These
should be served in a cup. Heat the
cups in the warming closet or oven
before putting the piping hot soup
into them to guarantee keeping it
hot until the guests are served. If
you have cream soup which is a
great favorite, don't hesitate serv-
ing it, because some of the cream
OF Clipped mushrooms or tomato
soups may be very appetizing. In
serving a cream soup as the Begin
ner of big dinner, let me suggest
these words OF caution-avoid hav-
ing the soup too thick, and serve it
in cup. Any soup served in cup
must be thin enough to drink, and
serving 1t in a cup naturally limits
the amount served.
You may favor cold beginner if
the weather is sunny and warm,
such as iced avocado and pineapple
with mayonnaise and chill sauce
dressing, or spicy fruit without
dressing, such as fresh pineapple
wedges or sections OF grapefruit and
orange garnished with mint leaves.
The attention next turns to the
selection Of holiday roast. This
is the center of interest for the din
ner. We have a great many roasts

Of Small News In Wash
ington, D. C.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-(Auto-
eastern the reader of this
column get the impression that
nothing but serious matters OF
weighty moment are talked about
in Washington, here are a few
paragraphs of casual gossip heard in
the corridors of public buildings and
on the street corners. Fs
Item: When the President got
back to Washington and found his
new and enlarged offices ready for
him, it was noticed by the news
paper men at the first press con-
ference that the array of Demo-
cratic donkeys that used to decor
ate his desk had been reduced to
three. Also, that insufficient pro-
vision has been made by the archi-
tect of the new White House wing
for taking care of reporters hats
and overcoats.
Item: There is a secret circular
staircase leading into the Presi-
dent new office, so that cabinet
officers and others who may not
want to be observed by watchful
reporters can slip in and out unob-
served. 81 a9ga
Item: Mrs. Paul Wilson, who pre-
fers to be known as Miss Frances
Perkins, and who is addressed as
Madam Secretary" has a private
elevator to her private office in the
new Department. of Labor building;
also private bath finished in
green tile.
Champion Walkers
Item: Secretary Wallace of agri-
culture and Secretary Morgenthau
of the treasury are the champion
pedestrians of the administration.
Both walk to their offices, Mr.. WAL
lace a good three miles every morn
ing.
Item: It has leaked out that the
entire cabinet has "chipped in" to
buy a collective Christmas present
for the president. This, as one of
them remarked, is symbolic of the
spirit of cooperation which the adj
ministration is trying to instil.
Item: President Roosevelt sold

mules on his Georgia farm while
vacationing. He thought the cattle
didn't bring enough and the mules
cost too much. He named the
mules Hop and "Tug" after Re-

marked, "the mules are so risky

of Labor Standards. Her job is to

Accomplished: Government con-
troll of the Federal Reserve system,
quietly and without any publicity
This practically removes the limit
on the governments power to Dor
row, foreshadows more complete
federal control over all banking and
all credit. It puts the Administra-
ton in a position to block initiation
moves in Congress.
Some Forecasts
Forecasts: No balancing" of the
budget for the fiscal year begin
ming next July 1. General reduction
in bank interest, including savings
banks. Further refunding of gov
eminent debt at lower interest rates.
Outlook now is for a permanent
Federal Aviation commission, to

No more alphabetical" bureaus;
the President thinks the public has
had enough alphabet soup and
wants to get down to the solid
courses. No foreclosures of rail-
roads that can't pay back money
borrowed from Uncle Sam; govern
ment doesn't want to become a rail-
road magnate.

Roosevelt told newspaper men the
other day, eff you guess you'll be

the same.
Politics and Policies
Politics: The 18th congress will
eat out of the Presidents hand, Just
like the 73rd. Sam Rayburn is still
the best bet for Speaker of the
House. Fireworks on Capitol Hill
will be set off in investigating COM
mittee rooms rather than on the
floor Of the two houses. Republicans
are being warned off the "liberaliz-
ing policies just now widely urged
on them. Wise old wheelhorses be-
lieve the party's best bet is to stand
pat on conservative ground and let
the radicals cut up didoes until the
Administration support flies apart
by the force of internal strife.
Policies: Administration still keen
on social reforms, but beginning
to realize that too large doses is
likely to clog the wheels of recovery.
It's aim is to lift the 10 per cent of
"underprivileged" to higher living
standards, without dragging the
other 80 per cent down. Hopes to
