POTATOES AS
EUROPE EATS THEM.

don't know who discovered the
Indians in America eating potatoes and
then went out and told everybody about
it, but he certainly did a favor for the
rest of the world. Potatoes are grown
and eaten everywhere and in some
countries many more are eaten per
capita than in America.
In England and Scotland potatoes are
eaten regularly twice day and in some
cases three times a day, but the worst
of that is that nine times out of ten
they are boiled and about five times out
of ten they are cold. Cold boiled po-
tatoes and cold sliced mutton are
favorite dishes for supper in England;
often there is little else except tea and
some kind of dessert.
In Finland and Sweden, potatoes are
| almost always served at two different
courses in the same meal, cooked and
prepared exactly the same way. They
are served "SmorgaSbord" that con-
stituteS the first course and then again
with the main course when the roast
or hot meat is served.
But it was in Denmark that I felt
sorry for the women who had to pre-
pare the potatoes, for there they think
that the large potatoes are not good to
eat and only small ones are used. In
all Denmark I saw no potato as large
as hens egg; they were even nearer
the size of birds eggs when they were
peeled and cooked, but they were de-
liciouS any way they were prepared
and the Danes prepare them in many
ways. 1t was somewhat perturbing
however to realize that you had eaten
dozen or more potatoes at one meal
When we begin to eat as many po-
tatoeS per person in Minnesota as they
do in Denmark, there won't be a surplus
and prices will go up.

HOUSES THAT CAN
GROW GRACEFULLY.

The first home built by a young
couple on farm need not be large
Often two rooms, place to sleep and
place to cook and eat, are sufficient.
But, when this first house is out
grown and more room is needed, the
farm family does not have to sell or
move as the city family often does.
Instead, the farm family can build adj
ditionS. But if these are made hit
and-miSs fashion, the result may be an
architectural hodgepodge with only in
convenient connections to the original
dwelling.
The young couple can obtain better
results if future additions are planned
on paper when the first house is de-
signed. Windows can be arranged that
will later be doors leading into the new
part and other connections indicated
which will involve a minimum of re-
modelling. Connecting walls, doorways,
and halls may be we'll located. Pro-
vision can be made for heating, plumb

Youth Tries NeU Fire
Extinguisker Method.

Minneota-new methods for extin-
gushing fire did not prove to bring ex-
pected results to Robert Christensen,
12-year-old son OF Mr. and Mrs Car,
Christianson of this village, who did
his best to put out an oat-stack fire in
the Christianson yard. When he could
not beat it out with his hands, he
sought to smother it by sitting on it.
The flames merrily took the seat of his
pants in their stride and the Minneota
fire department was called. The fire
men and neighbors helped to save the
adjacent shed full of wood, second oats
stack and pile of alfalfa from destruc-
ton. The stack which burned con-
tanned five loads of oats for feeding
cattle. 1t was not insured.

FARMERS own
Most timber
Farmers Looking to Woodlands
for Future Income Says
Forest Laboratory.

About one-third of the remaining
timberlandS of the country is in the
hands of farm owners and these far
mers are turning their attention toward
securing greater incomes from this
crop. Better methods in selecting the
trees to be cut, proper thinning, and
pruning will make these timberlandS
more profitable to the owners, according
to the Forest Products Laboratory,
Madison, Wisconsin.
The principle of selective cutting is
to remove only mature defective trees
and to reserve and portect the younger
growth for future crops. Studies Of the
rate of growth of trees have deter
mined the amount of wood produced
by the wood lands in one year or in a
number of years. The amount of tim
Der cut each year should not be greater
than that produced each year or, if
cutting is done every or 10 years,
the amount cut should not exceed that
produced during that time. The amount
of growth, of course, is distributed
among all the trees but for practical
purposes only the larger and mature
trees are the ones to be taken out,
except where deformed or broken ones
are cut or smaller ones removed to
hasten the growth of those remaining.
Tables have been prepared showing
the diameter of trees that can be
profitably cut. These diameter cutting
limits vary with the species and the
purpose for which they are to be used.
Spruce for pulpwood, for instance, may
be profitably cut to diameter limit
the limit may be IA inches The cut
ting size is not always strictly followed
because weed trees may be removed to
make room for more rapid growth or
improvement of the species
AS opposed to clear cutting, that is,
the removing of all the trees regardless
Of size, selective cutting has many ad-
VantageS. In this type of cutting, the
trees left automatically protect the soil
from erosion. The trees are harvested
as they mature, and the younger ones
are allowed to increase in value
In the removal of mature trees, space
is opened up for natural reseeding and
the establishment of young trees is
stimulated.
Good forest practice should provide
for a quality yield as well as for con-
tinuous quantity yield, according to
foresters at the Forest Products Lab
oratory, so that the farm woodlands
will produce an added future income
for the farmer.

The Fiscal Year

The fiscal year is the year be-
tween one annual time of settling
accounts and another. Our govern
ment fiscal year begins July and
ends June 30. The fiscal year is
always spoken of as being in the
calendar year in which it ends.
Originally our fiscal year ended
September 80, but in 1843 it was
changed to June 80 in order to give
department heads more time to pre-
pare their reports for the opening
of congress in December.
