the nation was featured at each ia
BILE. They We'd with each other in
the number Of things served and
tine attractiveness of the table set
ting. After living next door to the
Swedish Stephenson family for
several years we knew what to ex-
pect from Sweden.
On the stage meanwhile, were
shown native costumes and dances.
1t is true not one word of the
songs and recitations could be
heard above the din, but the dances
and display was colorful. Twas all
afternoon to be remembered.
We also had marvellous food last
Thursday afternoon when George
p. Kimmel e n tie TT a n e d some
friends and members of the press
at Longwood, his $50 acre estate
near Brookeville which he is turn
| ing over as a non-profit prep
school for boys.
After viewing the school and
dormitory building, which is ax-
pected to be ready for use in Sen
TENDER, under the guidance of Mr..
Kimmel and Ebeu M. Peek, former
principal of RMHS in Rockville,
who is to be L'eadmaster at the
school, we adjourned to the hand
some manor house, the nucleus of
which was built in 1917 and were
served huge sandwiches of Smith
field ham with all the trimmings.
Also crowded into last week was
! the annual luncheon of the Women
I Democrats of the State-more good
food, good speeches and good COM
partnership. Even Montgomery
County produced a good showing
Of Democrats, both men and wom-
en-. We did not stay to hear Gov
ernor Lane talk, but Mrs. Frank
Garfield, former president of the
League of Women Voters, later
told us he explained and analysed
the record-bieaking State budget
in a most able and interesting
manner.
Another thing we enjoyed last
week was a drive through Rock
Greek Park. Did you know that the
old Pierce Mill is again in oLera-
ton? Water ground corn meal is
once more on salc-2k pound bag
40 cents; 5 pounds 70 cents; rs
pounds, $1.75 Whole wheat -four
is 25 cents a pound or 25 pounds
for $500. The mill is open to the
public daily except Mondays.
Grinding will be doro Tuesdays
and Wednesdays from 9 to 5, we
learned. AS we have told you be-
fore, the mill operates just as the
old Muncasters Mill did-we have
nostalgia yearnings whenever we
visit the Pierce Mill.
We have been told that the Clop-
Der Mill which was well preserved
though not in operation, recently
burned. Soon all tfese old mills
will pass from the memory of men.
1t is nice to know that one typical
OK early 1900 is preserved in Rock
Greek Park.

@. How effective is 2-4D in con-
trolling weeds in wheat fields?
A. Through use of 2-4D during the
war years, the yield of wheat was
increased 258o. An outstanding ex-
ample of the effectiveness of PAD
against wild mustard in the Red
River Valley of North Dakota was
shown by the fact that properly
treated fields yielded 10 to is BUSH
els more wheat than adjoining fields
where weeds were allowed to grow
unchecked.
@. viii an air space under poul-
try house that is open all around
help to keep the floor dry?
A. We doubt that an air space
will keep the floor dry, since it would
actually result in cold floor, caus-
ing moisture to condense and max
ing the litter wetter than ever un-
less the floor is properly insulated.
Where it is necessary to raise the
floor in poultry houses, deep litter
should be used as well as layer
of insulation board under the floor.
@. Can you tell me the record
number Of eggs produced in one year
by turkey hen?
A. The Worlds Record Is held by
a hen at the Ralston Purina Com
pany's Research Farm. This hen
produced PSI eggs in 1855 days.
@. Does the birth weight Of beef
calves have any effect on their rate
of growth?
A. Yes, according TO findings Of
the U. s. d. A. based on a study Of
402 beef Shorthorn calves born over
q period of IA years. The birth
weight Of the calves ranged from 40
to 100 lbs, and the heavier calves
tended to reach a weaving weight
Of 500 lbs. sooner than calves that
we're lighter at birth. The same was
true for those calves fed TO a slaugh-
ter weight Of 300 lbs.
q. How many eggs must hen lay
in year in order 10 qualify for X.
u. II. under the National Poultry
Improvement Plan?
A. To qualify for this, a hen must
lay minimum Of 200 eggs In a year,
averaging "a ounces TO the dozen.

AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS
New HOMEWORK CLUB

The Homemakers Club meetings
have been well attended this month
in spite of the busy season of gar
den making and house cleaning.
The Homewood Club turned in
twenty-seven new names asking
that a new group be developed in
their area. Their club had grown
as large as could be accommodated
in their homes. Miss Turner and
Miss McLuckie hope to meet with
the group before June LIST, to get
acquainted and in September the
club will be under Miss McLuckie's
care.
New GROUP AT CHOPPER
The new group at Chopper met
with Mrs. Charles Stang on May
23rd. There were two new members
and good attendance of the char
Der members of last month. Miss
Mary Hutton brought an exhibit of
lovely needle work done by ladies
of her family generation ago.
There were exquisite baby bonnets,
beautiful handkerchiefs and collar
and cuffs. Such needle work is al
most a lost art and it is we'll to
have younger homemakers see such
family treasures, beautifully made
and beautifully cared for.
FOUR CORNERS CLUB GROWS
Four Corners Club is another
group that has had to limit men,
bership in order that the club may
be accommodated in the homes.
Mrs. Pauline Smith, president,
welcomed the thirtieth member

May Goth.
BURToNsvILLE
The Burtonsville Club filed the
hvlng room and dining room of
Mrs. Lodge Hill when they were
her guests on May 10Th. Members
of the group who have gone to

urged others in the club to join
them the week of June 16-21st.
The agents, Miss Turner and
Miss McLuckie, always regret that
they can not join in these social
events. The All girls club Dress
Schools will he ON in full force in
June. There are Is dress schools to
be cared for from the time school
