Maps Are Very
Decorative.
The boys room has blue walls and
woodwork also. The paper is plain,
with maps of the continents cut out
and pasted directly on it. These are
interspersed with decorative maps
which make the walls interesting as
well as instructive and highly deco
rative. The blue Of the oceans blends
into the blue walls, and the cop
per and yellow tones are picked up
again in draperies and upholstery.
Curtains are Belgian linen in
coppery yellow color, and the chair
is covered in the same. The bed is a

that it makes a fine couch in case
one wishes to curl up and read on
rainy afternoon, and no amount Of
feet on it can matter. There is a
high maple chest-on-c for cloth
ing, with a mirror above. A maple
desk and chair give good work
space. A nice ship model on the
top shelf of the bookcase looks we'll
against a map of the South Seas,
and other shelves are for books
and collections.
This little house, without being
pretentious in any way, is useful,
convenient and attractive. 1t is
pleasing to the eye and has the
necessary pieces of furniture at
hand. That inexplicable feeling of
home is there. and there is no part
of it that is not possible for even
the most limited pocketbook, pro-
vided there is enough interest and
time to work for the effects.
Next summer we hope to show

France Can't Win Offensive War,
British Vulnerable~~~Liddell Hart
English Historian
in New Book Tells
of Difficulties
BY PAUL FRIGGENs

IL the Allies seem to be wagfng
q waiting" war on the Nazis. it
may be because the British are
extremely vulnerable and unpre-
pared and the French cannot ex-
pect to lick Germany by an Of
fensive.
This is the conclusion drawn
from Liddell Hart, eminent Brit
ish historian and military author
ity. in his latest book, The De-
Tense of Britain" just published
by Random House.
A combination of factors adj
versely affect Britain at the out
set of the European war, Hart de-
clares.
Britain began her military prep
srations appallingly late as was
evidenced by the capitulation at
Munich just a year ago.
The British Isles are the most
vulnerable to air attack Of all big
countries.
1t is doubtful whether the pow
erful British fleet is equal to the
challenge of the Rome-Berlin-
Tokyo fleets. assuming italy
should join the Nazis and Japan
threatens British action in the Far
East.
Finally, there is the relative un-
preparedness of the French, par
ticularly from an offensive view
point.
TINE Is WEAPON
True. says Hart. the Allies are
arming today at a tremendous rate.
They may hope to offset the Ger
man strength, even surpass it.
Meanwhile, here are some of the
factors in the British picture as
Hart sees them.
There is now" says Hart. "a
serious threat of a new kind of
invasion Tin Brittany by ground
forces, though not by an army
In the Russian maneuvers of
1886 force of 1900 men, together
with $50 machine guns and Is light
field guns was carried 100 miles by
troop-carrying aircraft and drop
ped on an aerodome behind the
enemy's front. Within eight min
utes of the release of the para
chutes the force had assembled on
the ground and driven off the de-
tenders. Since then the scale of
the forces used in such operations
has been increased
While Hart does not greatly fear
this type of invasion, he points out
sabotage agents might be dropped
individually or in parties to cut
telephone lines, blow up roads and
bridges, dislocate troop move
ments.
Until now, Englands air program
has been tragically slow. says Hart.
This may have repercussions since
unfortunately, of all great coun-
tries, England is, with the excep-
ton of japan, the most vulnerable
to air attack" Britain is now be-
lieved to be building 1000 machines
q month.
''Britain's problem" as Hart
sees is, "is to prevent quick results
and, above all, to safeguard her.

RID SHEEP FLOCKS OF PESTS

RID SHEEP FLOCKS OF PESTS
Winter is a good time, according
to county agents office, st. Cloud,
to rid farm flocks of sheep of pests
such as stomach worms. On small
and medium sized farms in Stearns
county where sheep are kept 1t Is
quite often impossible to carry on
a proper pasture rotation system
to keep stomach worms in check.
That being the case, artificial con-
troll methods become necessary.
The breeding flock should be
drenched about three times at 30
day intervals to rid the flock Of
stomach worms. The life cycle of
stomach worms is such that one
stage is spent on the growing
green grass and there is where the
infestation of the sheep takes
place. With sheep on dry feed and
clean from stomach worms now,
they will move on to the grass
next spring in clean condition.
Details for the treatment of sheep
for stomach worms can be secured
from the county agents office, St.
Cloud. The cost of treatment by
the drench method is very small.
HOG CHOLERA SCHOOL
Swine breeders of Stearns coun-
ty are again urged to make plans
to attend the hog cholera school
scheduled for January "a and rs
at St. Martin. In view of the fact
that but one school can be sched-
uled for a county, central point
in the county was selected. A two
day school s necessary to cover
the instruction in connection with
hog cholera work. The county ex-
tension, the Minnesota Livestock
Sanitary Board, and the agricul-
tural extension service at Univer-
sity Farm are cooperating in MAX
ing this school possible in Stearns
county.
Under the plan DR.. W. A. Bill
ings, extension veterinarian for the
state, conducts the school. The
first day and half are given over
to Institutional work on hog chol-
era. The afternoon of the second
day is used for the examination.
All farmers who pass the examina-
ton will on payment Of the $500
fee to the Livestock Sanitary
Board, be issued what is called a
layman's permit permitting them
to do their own vaccinating. This
examination needs to be taken only
once and it can be renewed from
year to year with the payment of
$1.00 to the Livestock Sanitary
Board.
FLAX IMPORTANT
Flax will occupy a rather impor-
tant position in the agricultural
conservation program of 1889 on
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1939-01-12

many farms in Stearns county.
That being the case, the county
agents office at st. Cloud is an
xiois to secure information from
all productions who have standard
varieties of flax to sell for seed
that are resistant to rust and wilt.
Such varieties are Bison, Chippewa
and Winona and one or two var
ieties developed by other than
Minnesota experiment stations.
The cash price of flax is such
that it will probably be a more at
tractive cash crop to grow in 1889
than wheat. In view of the fact it is
a crop that is not producted in suf-
ficient quantities in America to
take care of the domestic demand
in this country, an increased acre
age of flax Is warranted. For 1888
the flax production was large
enough to take care Of only about
one-third Of the American needs.
Many townships of Stearns county
have desirable soil for the produc-
ton of flax and it is here that an
AiASA CooCo 3Aoh dNk SeA6C 40 VI SCos I'll
almost all other crops besides flax
this country is on an export basis
and produces more of those crops
than this country can consume.
Flax, however, is an exception. In
the soils Conservation program for
1889 flax, when planted as a nurse
crop for grass seed, will be con-
sidered as non-depleting and the
harvesting of the crop of seed will
be permitted. In other words an
acre planted to flax when seeded
with grass has the same status as
an acre of alfalfa or sweet clover
or other non-depleting crop. In
view of his concession, a large
acreage of flax is anticipated and
growers with satisfactory seed on
hand are urged to furnish the
county agents office with the
amount they have to sell.
