Three Home
Project Meets
For Leaders
Saving Steps In Kitchen, Top
ic For Women OF Stearns
County
IN SAUK CENTRE.
Preliminary Sessions Held To
Inaugurate Winter Home
Program

Three leader training meetings
have been held in the new fall and
winter home project called Home
Management" Forty-two women
enthusiastically received the first
lesson on Saving Steps in
the Kitchen" given by Miss Mary
Mae Miller, Extension Specialist in
Home Management, in Eden Valley
on Wednesday, Sank Centre on
Thursday, and st. Cloud on Friday.
These leaders will take the lesson
back to members enrolled in TWEEN
ty-two groups.
The remaining three training
meetings for this lesson are being
taken care Of this week by the
County Home Agent, Moan Ander-
son. Eighteen additional groups
will be represented by two women
leaders each. The schedule Of these
meetings include Brooten on Tues
day, Richmond on Thursday and
Albany on Friday.
This arrangement has been made
to accommodate the large number
who wished to enroll in the project
since the county can have the ser
vices OF the specialist only three
days a month. Therefore In nom
county home demonstration agent
counties only a maximum OF TWEEN
ty-four groups could enroll In a
single home project. Nearly 600
homes are represented in the for
ty-one groups enrolled in Stearns
county.
According to Miss Miller, any
kitchen regardless of size and shape
can be made more convenient by
the proper arrangement of the
equipment and centers of activities
in the kitchen. With the wise use
of wall space, storage facilities can
be made a much minor problem.
Since a big majority of the farm
families prefer to serve most meals
in the kitchen, arrangements should
be made to have the serving center
in one end of the kitchen, especial
ly in large kitchens. With the food
preparation, cooking and cleaning
centers in a compact unit In the
other end, many steps can be saved
by the housekeeper. The use OF the
tray or easily constructed push ta-
BILE was shown to also save steps.
Cuts Of convenient kitchens,
equipment and valuable suggestions
were included in the material given
to all leaders and members. The
making of a potato trail in each
kitchen by the leaders themselves
proved that in almost every In
stance that something could be
done to save steps. Many floor
plans looked like a fine network Of
geometric patterns indicating the
large number of steps necessary In
accomplishing just one task.
The leaders expressed their en-
thusiasm for the second lesson IRE
cording the Family Expenditures
to be given in November. Anyone
desiring to enroll In the project
should get in touch with the Home
Agent, st. Cloud, Immediately.

Heavy Snow
So Years Ago
October Is, 1880. Record Storm of
HistoFy-Raged For Three Days
With Disastrous Results

Just to remind the good people
that 1t won't always be Indian sum-
mer and that they live in Minneso-
ia, LEROY Working hobs up with a
"Brrr" tale that's a dandy. Last
winter was one that will go on re-
cord and proved conclusively that,
while red flannels may have gone
out with horse and buggy, what
this country really needs and ur-
gently, is a substitute for that great
American institution. Now this tale
didn't happen last winter or the
winter before that, nor will many
of you remember tit happened
Sc years ago.
On October 18th, 1880, just Sc
years ago, the most severe snow
storm on record in the history of
Minnesota ragged through this Sec
ton and continued for three days.
The snow began on Friday and
Marvin Taylor was going to thresh.
Ed Rice, the owner Of the first
threshing rig in this section, was all
set up on the Taylor farm to dn
business-when the blizzard struck.
When the swirling snow had ceased
to fall a huge white mound stood
where the thresher lay buried. Cat
tie had wormed their way into re-
mote corners and had to be dug out
Of the drifted banks. Well, Mr.. Tay-
lor had always said that every
time he had tried to thresh, 1t had
showed. This year he wouldn't be
caught. But fate played a queer
trick, and he didn't get his thresh-
ing done that week. On the open
fields it melted enough so that
blowing could be done after that
fan, but in the protected spots in
the woods two feet of that storm
remained all winter.

Soil Testing
Service For
Co. Farmers
Made Available Through
Farm Bureau Service
Company
SEND SAMPLES
In The Past Testing of Soils
Mas Been Prohibited
BY Costs
MUST SEND SAMPLES

For the first time in history a
rather compete soils testing service
Is being made available to farmers
of the country through the county
Farm Bureau and the county Farm
Bureau Service company. For many
years farmers have requested that
soil tests be made on their particu-
lar soil. The only test available
without cost was an acidity test or
test for the limestone content Of
acid soils. Since most Stearns coun-
ty soils were not deficient in lime
stone this particular test had little
value as far as the county is con-
cerned. Now, however, through the
Farm Bureau soil testing program,
a test for the amount Of available
phosphate and the amount Of avail
able potash is possible.
Folks wanting to take advantage
Of this test should communicate
with the county extension service or
the Farm Bureau Service company
at St Cloud to get the detailed IN
structions as to how to get the SAM
pie for testing and the package in
which to place the sample for mail
ing. In general the Instructions for
taking the sample are as follows:
1. Take a clean bucket and SHOW
ell. Pail must be clean.
2. Spade a hole pillow depth.
3. Take oneIhalf inch slice Off
side of hole and place in bucket.
Take similar slices from 10 places
in field or from any one soil type.
Mix thoroughly in bucket.
4. Take enough soil from the
mixed sample to fill this bag half
full.
5. Caution: Sample must be dry.
If sample is wet, spread on paper
to dry before placing in this bag.
6. Fold over top of bag and tie
with string.
When the sample has been dried
1t should be placed in the package
for that purpose and the informa-
ton on the other side showing the
name. town and county should be
completed.
In time past the chemical tests
for getting the amount of available
phosphate and potash of the soils
have been prohibited by the cost
and since the service was not avail
able through the agricultural col
lege Of the department of chemists
at the University such tests had to
be made by private chemists and
few farmers ever took advantage
OF 1t because of the cost. Under the
new plan one sample is tested free
fos Farm Bureau members and any
additional tests are zoe each. For
non-members the cost for the test
Is 30c. For several reason the test
on the nitrogen content of the soil
Is omitted. Most important Of these
is that the nitrogen supply In soil
can be most economically built up
by the growing Of the various le-
gumes. Only in extreme cases for
general farming purposes Is the
purchase Of commercial fertilizers
ever recommended to build up nj
trogen content of soils. It can be
done so much more cheaplv bv a
program of soils conservation where
legume crops are grown In ample
acreage that the county extension
service has seldom recommended
the purchase Of nitrate fertilizers.

|SMITH OPPOSED ! TO WAR PROFITS.
5th District Congressman Also FavOrs Legislation
 Maintaining Neutrality

Washington, D. O., Feb. 4.--De- claring that he favors legislation designed to prevent profits due to war and neutrality legislation which will prevent the sale of munitions to belligerents, Congressman J. Joe seph Smith of the fifth district of Connecticut has answered several communications from constituents on the subject of neutrality. Con- gressman Smith also expressed him. self as fav0ring the extension of the present law relative to loans to bel- ligerents.
 Tn a recent letter to one of his constituents Congressman Smith wrote as follows:
 s'I do not favor any act which
 will place this country in the
 position of taking sides in the present or any future conflict as I feel that such action would
 have a tendency to draw us into
 war rather than keep us out of

 successfully maintain our neu-
 trality and ct the same time act as a referee in any European,
 Asian or African dispute.
 1T will continue my efforts to
 enact legislation aimed to pre-
 vent profits due to war and for permanent neutrality legislation
 similar to the present tempo rary neutrality act which will
 prevent the sale of arms, am-
 munition and implements of war
