FARM NEWS

A number of women in the
county, in this hot weather, seem
to be having trouble with home
baked bread becoming sour, better
still yet, known as becoming "ropy"
This condition is very common in
hot weather, says Miss Fox, Home
Demonstration Agent. The con.
dition is caused by an organism
that reacts in a base medium and
can give lot of trouble until house
wives know what to do about it.
First of all, it is very important to
scald every utensil used around
the bread, in a solution of part
vinegar and part boiling water.
The acid of the vinegar tends to
kill the organism. The most useful
method of dealing with this condit-
for half the liquid in the bread and
water for the other half. Since this
organism does not develop in acid
medium, either one of the liquids
will prevent the "ropy" condition
but house wives find that butter
milk gives a somewhat whittier
bread than whey.

Through connections the commit

and with discounts another SOC
was saved. This, with the instru.
mentation would bring the value OF
band property to $4,000. A band is
not measured, however, in dollars
and cents, but rather by its COM
munity representation. We, Of Sank
Centre, have had every reason to
be proud of our band in the past,
and we can now point to 1t with
greater pride. Clad in these beau
tiful uniforms, they can truly rep
resent Sank Centre as its good will

"At other times 1t has been my
pleasure to present some certain
thing to someone or other, but this
is the first time I have been asked
to present something the recipient
already has in possession. as
sure you it is a privilege and honor
to take this part. It is a happy
occasion indeed for me to repre-
sent this community in presenting
these fine uniforms. I am sure
they will be worn with equal pleas
ure to each member and honor to
the community. So in behalf of
the more than 120 donors, I glad
ly make this presentation"
w. d. Gallup, manager Of the
band, in accepting the uniforms,
said that fine uniforms do not
make a good band, but that they
aid considerably in making good
band better. He thanked the COM
munity for its splendid cooperation
and the fine donation which made
it possible to purchase the uni
forms. He asked continued coop
Grafton as encouragement for the
band members and management in
their future efforts for improve
ment, and pledged that the band
would always represent the COM
munity as good will builders. The
program closed with the national
anthem.
