CTS who have had experience with IVA pupils assistants:
 Dual Purposes
 "In the opinion of these teachers, IVA work offers definite advantages to the student in that it is closely related to the students course of study, and it therefore serves the dual purpose of enabling him to earn needed money and at the same time to improve his scholastic stand ing.
 The program is also beneficial to the school in that the pupils as- Sistants release teachers from rou- tine mechanical duties and enable them to devote more time to im- proving their teaching. Obviously the school grows better only as the quality of work done by teachers and pupils advances"

envelopes as soon as possible.
"At this season Of the year, more
than any other, thoughts turn to
home" said DR.. s. A. Slater, presi-
dent Of the Minnesota tuberculosis
Association. "At this holiday time,
too, we think of those people who
are not as fortunate as we. Some
homes have been struck by trag-
edies such as tuberculosis. No home
is safe from this disease until all
homes are safe. A contribution to
the anti-tuberculosis mpa 6 n
shows the true Christmas spirit"
tuberculosis is everybody's prob
lem, and as such, 1t takes everybody
to help lick it. Everyone takes
pride in doing the right thing and
in doing it in the best possible way.
Everyone should help make pos
sible the tuberculosis testing Of all

the strategic way Of discovering

Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture

With good cows, can 1 expect
satisfactory production IL their ra-
ton is composed of silage, alfalfa,
corn, oats and barley?
These feeds provide an excellent
basis for a good ration and they
will give satisfactory results.
When the supply of alfalfa is
abundant. feed a smaller amount
of silage-20 to Is pounds per
COW daily-in order to get each
COW to eat as much as 20 to 80
pounds Of alfalfa daily. Alfalfa
is a rich source of protein, and a
very important food element when
high production is desired. It Is
expensive when purchased in the
form of concentrates, but econ
omical when furnished in home
grown alfalfa. Feed a grain mix
ture of two parts oats, one part
corn, and one part barley, at the
rate Of 1 pound Of grain to each 8
to pounds Of milk produced
