obtained to serve as a guide to
these dairymen in determining their
highest producing animals. These
officials tests had to be discontin-
ued last June, however, due to the
resignation of the herd tester and
the unsuccessful efforts of the as
sociation to secure another tester
during the summer, but it is hoped
that the testing work can be re-
sumed within a short time.
In the meantime several dairy
farmers have indicated their de-
sire to become members of this as
sociation, as they would like to
know which COWS in their herds are
producing a profitable amount of
milk, also the cost of feed and
other items in connection with the
production of milk for the market.
AS the result of our national de-
fense program the federal gov
ernment is requesting an increase
in the production of milk along
with several other foods, and one
practical and economic method of
attaining this goal is the practic-

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
NutrItiOnist for the State Board Of Health
YOUR FALL FIGURE

New fall CLOTHES frequently bring
home to women land to men as
welD the excess poundage they
have casually gained during the
summer. Fall seems to be the sea-
son when everyone becomes figure
conscious.
Alarm at overweight has plenty
of basis in health records as well
as in dress shops. People who are
too fat do not live to be as old as
their thinner brothers. They are
much more susceptible to heart
and kidney ailments, to pneumonia
and to diabetes. Sensible regula-
tion of weight is a sound health
practice.
However, too many really fat
people, and others who only think
themselves fat, plan reducing diets
which if followed over a long per-
iod of time could result only in
poor health. Fortunately many of
these amateur reducers lose their
enthusiasm before the end of the
first day and most of them before
the end of the first week. A few do
follow their poorly balanced diets
and become what a hospital re-
search staff might call "a beauti-
full case" of one of several vitamin
and mineral deficiencies. .
No vigorous effort at losing
weight should be attempted with
out your physicians approval.
Sudden losses of weight may be
harmful to those suffering from tu-
berculosis, heart ailments and
other conditions.
In any reducing diet which you
plan include plenty of the high
and mineral foods. Since
you will be eating less food than
there is a greater bur-
den on what you do eat to supply
the essential nutrients.
Milk should be the basis of any
reducing diet. Contrary to the be-
lief of many people, milk is not in
itself fattening. 1t would be nee
essary to eat many more calories
than are in a glass Of milk to get
from other foods the protein, min
eral and vitamins in milk.
Eggs, meat, vegetables and
fruits should also be plentiful in a
reducing diet. The things to avoid
are fats such as gravy and mayon-
naise and starchy or sweet foods.
Three meals a day are quite a
factor in keeping hunger away.
Since any reducing diet is low in
lat the stomach empties itself very
quickly and so meals should not be
.oo far apart.
Have your physicians approval
before you make an effort to lose
much weight. Then plan a diet
nigh in vitamins and minerals US
ng plenty of milk, lean meat, eggs,
and fruits and three
meals a day.

GARDENING FOR HAPPINESS
Choose Good Tools, Treat Them Well; It Pays In Time, Money
BY HENRY FREE (Waterbury Democrat Landscape
 Consultant)
Eleventh of Q Series

Eleventh of . Series
 Garden tools are defined as me- chanical devices by which work is frightened, improved or done more quickly than is possible by hand alone. Time is an important fac- tor in amateur gardening. There- fore, money spent for good tools is also an investment in time
 It is most necessary to know how to select efficient tools, and the gardener should also know how to keep them in good condition at all times. An orderly tool room with a place for each tool and with each tool in it's place, and where fertili- ger, insecticides, labels and other garden accessories are carefully ar- ranged so that they are available at a moments notice, is a great convenience. If a room is not available, a closet or @ corner of the garage may be converted into a suitable storage space.
 The kinds of tools you need de- pend upon the extent of your gar- dening operations, but there are tools every gardener must have, Some of the most essential are: spade, long -handlle shovel, mattock, square and V hoes, iron rakes, barn- boo lawn rake, trowel, hand weeder. sickle, garden line, stakes, tape or raffia, pruning shears, knifs, labels, lawn mower, sprayer, garden hose and sprinkler, extra washers, wheel barrow and watering can.
 Tools that are helpful but not necessary are: turf edger, hedge shears, grass shears, pruning saw, lawn roller. lawn spiker, D-handle shovel, lawn fertilizer distributor, sickle, spading fork, crowbar, knee ling pad. baskets, pots, flats, as- paragus knife. pruning knife, man. nure fork, scythe, wheel-hoe culti- vator, pole pruner and scuffle hoe.
 It Is economy in the end to buy good tools. Study the quality of materials used and the type of con- struction and decide how efficient tool is before buying it. Good ma terial Is essential. especially In lawn mokers, pruning shears and hedge trimmers, So that they can be sharpened more readily and will retain . better edge. Your spade. forks and tr0wels should have q metal shank which extends part way up the handle Co give additional strength. Tools made from single sheet of metal pressed into form are not as strong as those with wooden handles driven into metal shanks.
 A garden hoe comes in variety of sizes and shapes. A hoe that is too large and heavy Is cumbersome.

and better adapted to mixing ce- ment than to garden work. The V or pointed type is especially good for making seed drills in the veg. etable garden and for the cultiva. tion of small areas.
 No gardener can get along with. out garden hose. Buy a hose of good quality. take good care of it whereas a cheap hose will need to be replaced in e comparatively short time. Tn choosing the hose 1t Is well to remember that one made of red rubber in nine cases out Of 10 is a superior brand. The black rubber hose may be excellent or inferior in quality. but red Tsib- Der is a definite indication of good quality. Keep the hose drained and on 6 reel or coiled and hung up when not in use. Nothing shortens the life of hose more rapidly than
