Farm News
From the County Agent, St. Cloud =.

Another series of dairy cooking
schools is scheduled for Stearns
county for next week, according to
the county agents office, st. Cloud
Both Of these schools will be held
at the Central Junior high school
at st. Cloud on the afternoons OF
Wednesday, November 5, and
Thursday, November 6. The start
ing time for the schools is 2:30
This year again Ina B. Rowe, ex-
tension nutritionist at University
Farm, will conduct the schools
While Miss Rowe will demonstrate
almost all types of cooking she will
pay special attention to the use of
dairy products, the item of farm
income that takes a number one
position in Central Minnesota.
This year when so much atten-
ton is being paid to special prob
lens in human nutrition, the les
sons put on by Miss Rowe at these
cooking schools should be doubly
important as she spends a good
portion of her time stressing the
essential things furnished by the
various foods for the human body.
Dairy products, as almost everyone
knows, are of tremendous import
ance in good nutrition. That being
the case, Miss Rowe's demonstra-
ton should be of special import
ance this year.
A number of attendance prizes
will be given out at the school on
both days.
Farmers of Stearns county will
have an opportunity to take part
in a farm planning school this win
ter, according to County Agent E.
G. Lenzmeier, who announces that
J. B. McNulty, extension farm
management specialist at Univer-
sity Farm, will conduct the school.
Interest in these farm planning
sessions, which aim at helping in
dividual farmers plan their opera
tions over period Of years to
obtain highest possible returns, has
grown rapidly since they were held
last year in a limited number of
countries.
Any farmer, whether owner or
tenant, is invited to take advan-
tage of this service. Mr.. McNulty
will provide materials for farm
planning and consult with farm
operators individually.
Farm plans will be set up for a
period of years. Among the prob
lens to be dealt with are field ar
rangement for most efficient use
Of machinery and labor, crop ro-
tations to meet the needs of the
farm as to weed control, mainten-
ance of fertility and maximum pro-
auctions for the type of soil. A
suitable livestock-crop ratio will
also be worked out.
With farm power and labor at q
premium, good management will be
increasingly important this year
Farm records have also become 9

necessity with the advent Of farm
programs, income tax returns, and
new complications in the farm bus
mess. While these schools deal
principally with planning the farm
operations over a period Of years,
valuable suggestions on how to use
a farm record to improve the farm
income are also made.
The planning school in Stearns
county will probably be held in two
one-day sessions. Farmers who are
interested should get in touch with
County Agent Lenzmeier as soon
as possible.
The cotton mattress program has
been brought to a close in Stearns
county with all the material made
available through the Surplus Com
modities organization used for the
purpose. In all, 1898 mattresses
and 2899 quilts were made at the
five work centers in the county.
These work centers were located at
Fair Haven, Richmond, Padua,
Sank Centre and Holdingford, and
were in charge of Mrs. H. H. Steen-
lage, Of South Haven, VIM. Bern
ard Of Cold Spring, Mrs. Earl Kill
leen, of Brooten, Mrs. c. F. Botz,
of Sank Centre, and Stephen Gaida
of Holdingford, respectively.
For this huge program seven
carloads of cotton was used for the
filling material in the comforters
and mattresses. For the covering
of the comforters 10000 yards of
percale was used, while the mat
tress covers required $1,000 yards
of ticking. Since this ticking and
percale material was furnished to
the county in one-yard width, the
amount used for the comforters
would have provided enough mater
ial for a band Of cotton goods one
yard wide for distance Of 36
miles, the distance from st. Cloud
to Melrose. The National Youth
Administration at st. Cloud coop
Grated in putting on this cotton
mattress and comforter program by
sewing most of the comforter COW
ers as they were used.

"As fast rs the Germans and

brief, Is the real story behind

the chief reasons for the mag

Davis points out that not word
