EDITORIAL
COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

Twenty-Five cents out of every
family dollar goes for taxes. Twen-
ty years ago taxes cost each fam
lily an average of $50 per year. To
day, the average family pays $3.50
for taxes. This is based on an
average family income of $1,000.
High taxes are charge against ev-
cry American family, amounting to
IS per cent of total family earn
ings. We SILVER to think what the
tax-cost will be when a start is
made to pay for the billions that
have been and are being frittered
away by the New Deal" State
legislatures as well as congress
should dam up the spending spree
in this country before the ode
luge."-Brown County Journal.
Do We Want the "OId Times"
BackN
Many people do not like the sug-
gestion that our American life is
not likely to return to it's old ways
when better times come back. They
refuse willingly to accept the idea
that a planned social and indus
trial order is possible and they do
not agree that the present, with its
confusion, Is period of transition
ut all.
What these folks forget, of
course, is that much Of our trouble
e due to the fact that humanity
has drifted at the mercy Of the
winds Of circumstance. Perhaps,
they are right, after all, in their

Care Necessary To Avert Accidents

while running across the bridge. Luckily he was
not injured. Unless is exercised while angling
from the bridge accident will occur which might
prove costly. Other accidents have been avert
ed in the past and only will prevent others
from occurring in the future. 1t will be we'll for ang-
lers who wish to fish from the bridge to look both

Oven Sterilizing Not Reliable
In Canning =.

Processing rhubarb and other
fruits in the oven when canning,
is not recommended, says Mrs.
Kathryn B. Niles, foods specialist
Of the division of home economics,
University Farm, st. Paul. How
ever, Mrs. Niles suggests a COM
bination oven method that is sat
isfactory for rhubarb as follows:
Place the rhubarb, cut into
lengths of one-half to one inch, in
shallow pan and sprinkle with
much sugar as rhubarb by meas
ure. Bake until the rhubarb is
tender, then pack Immediately in
to hot containers, seal, and process
for minutes in the water bath.
Explaining why oven heat is not
recommended as a method of ster-
ilizing canned foods, Mrs. Niles
says dry heat is much less pene-
trating than the moist heat of the
water-bath or pressure cooker
method of sterilizing. Tests show
that the boiling temperature need
ed for sterilization is almost never
reached in the center of jars dur
ing the period of time suggested
for oven sterilization. This, of
course, is conditioned by tempera-
ture of the food when packed in
to the jars, the ratio Of liquid to
solid, the composition of the food,
the oven temperature, and the
period of sterilization.

More Tennis Courts Needed

LIVESTOCK MARKET
COULD BE WORSE
I'M SpITE 0E RREAK

=
In spite Of the recent break in
livestock prices, "the market could
be worse" The latter quotation
has been commonly repeated by
numerous shippers who have had
stock in the st. Paul market dur
ing the past two weeks, says the
livestock market bulletin issued by
the Central Cooperative Associa-
ton, farmer-owned livestock selling
agency at that market.
This recalls to mind some Of the
remarks made by shippers at this
time last year. When hog mar
kets were struggling to reach the
$500 mark, shippers were frequent
ly heard to say, "if we could only
get around $500 for our hogs, we
wouldn't kick"
When log fed steers sold at 81
to $3.50 per cwt., some remarked,
that a $500 to $1,000 market on
choice steers would be plenty high.
In fact one southern Minnesota
man who was looking for thin
stock to take back to the country
said that he would be perfectly
satisfied If he could be sure Of get
ting $3.50 to $500 per cwt., when
his steers were finished.
All branches Of the livestock
market have suffered declines dur
ing the past four weeks. There
have been reasons for the sharp
break, such as seasonal grassy con-
dition Of cattle, meat boycott in
the east, demoralized dressed meat
trade, general depression, etc. Yet
after this break which has
amounted to as much as $500 or
more per cwt., prices today are
equal to and above the greatest
hopes expressed by feeders a year
ago.
The following table lists a few
representative quotations today and
those Of a year ago.

Scientist Tells How To Avoid
ROpy Bread

Ropy bread is something that
gives the homemaker cause for
worry in the summer months. DR..
Max c. Markley of the division of
biochemistry, University Farm, St.
Paul, says the trouble can be pre-
vented. This is what he says
about it:
During the hot summer months,
bread, after standing for a day or
two, will frequently turn sticky
and foul-smelling in the center Of
the loaf. This is due to infection
before baking by a microscopic
organism called Bacillus Musen-
tericus. This organism is not
killed by the heat during baking.
Bakers call this disease Rope
i"Scrupulous cleanliness of the
flour bin, mixing bowls, and bread
box is the best way Of preventing
rope. The development Of the or
ganism can be prevented by in
creasing the acidity Of the dough.
Adding one-half teaspoonful Of
calcium acid phosphate Of cream
of-tartar to the quart Of flour will
prevent the growth Of the rope or
ganism.
Using sour dough milk in place
Of water in making the dough will
also prevent rope and will give
superior bread. The sour milk,
however, must be in good con-
dition with no sign Of real spoil

in making bordeaux mixture and
a small amount Of labor in mixing
it, says ]. G. Leach of the division
of plant pathology, University
Farm, st. Paul. This added cost
is insignificant when compared
with the grain from the control of
leaf-hoppers and fungus diseases.
Improved methods Of making
bordeaux mixture have greatly
simplified the process. Directions
for making bordeaux mixture are
given in a folder entitled Home
made Bordeaux Mixtures" which
may be obtained from University
Farm free upon request. 1t is bet
ter to mix your own bordeaux. The
new simplified method is quite
simple and easy. Write for dir
ections.
Recently, good results have been
obtained by busting potato plants
with copper-lime dust as a SUBJ
stitute for liquid bordeaux. With
efficient busting machines this is
about as effective as the liquid
bordeaux spray. The materials
for the dust cost more than those
for the liquid spray. but the adj
ditional cost Is equalized in labor
saved in applying the dust. II you
are interested in using the dust
method, write to the Department
of Plant Pathology, University
Farm, for more complete details.

grew so strong that the producers
were forced to consider popular

so we are now getting not merely
clean pictures, but exceptionally
high-class pictures, and the public
is showing its appreciation. There
are still far too many pictures
