brittle candy, and scientists now
are trying this product in other
kinds of candy.
They find that oat flour helps
the keeping quality of carmels,
with 5 percent of the fine oatmeal
giving best results.
The candy experimenters also
discovered that refined tsoybcan
protein improves the texture and
quality of gumdrops.
Earlier, certain parts of cotton
seed, peanuts, wheat, soybeans,
sunflower seed, and rice were used
in making pink l,ougats vanilla

FOOD SPECIALISTS SAY BIG
PEACHES USUALLY BEST BUY

Which is the better buy
large or small peaches?
Food specialists at Ohio State
University say the answer de-
pcEds partly on the difference in
price of the two sizes, but there
are other points to consider.
For example, the seed in small
peach is almost as large as the
seed in large one and takes
just as long to remove. Studies
indicate the total losses seed,
peeling and trimmings can be
more than twice as great for small
peaches as for large ones.
Preparation time is another
important consideration for the
majority of homemakers. 1t takes
as much as two or three times
as long to pit bushel of small
peaches as bushel of the large
fruit.
So the food specialists say !.
unless there is a great difference
in price, It is seldom more econ
omical to buy the small fruit.

Introducing Scandinavia
Denmark
Sports

=
ish Sport is of purely amateur
standing with professional sections
only in boxing and cycling, but
professionalism has never been
able to dominate these fields of
sport.
The strict adherence to amateur
rules has in some ways been a
weakness in competitions. Danish
sportsmen have often been at a
disadvantage in their competitions
with sportsmen of other nations
who have not been so meticulous
about amateur regulations.
Denmark's population is extrem-
ely sports-minded. Dansk Idraets
Forbund (National Union of Sports
Clubs, the central organization
and supreme authority of all Dan
ish sport, has about 100000 men,
bers. About 1000 clubs, repre-
senting all known sports, have
joined the national union in addi-
ton to 100000 members of "Skytte
-og Observation-Disclosures" (Rifle
and Gymnastics Clubs, a more ma
tionalist sports organization with
many members in rural districts.
Football
C"Soccer") is Denmark's nation
al game. Well over 1900 clubs
number about 325,O members,
and a deep-rooted football tradi-
ton has developed in this country
of football fans. Like many other
games, football came to Denmark
from England, and in the years
after 1900 Denmark dominated
Continental football. In the Olym-
pic Games of 1906, 1908 and 1912
Denmark won one gold and two
silver medals, and this tradition
was resumed at the Games held
in London in 1913, where Dem
mark came out number in the
finals.
The Aquatic Sports
But internationally, Denmark's
strongest point is indisputably the
aquatic sports, as is natural for
population with 50 easy access to
lakes and the sea. Denmark's
rowers have always held their own
in European championships, and
their greatest triumph was scored
in London at the Olympic Games
where the Danish crews came out
the strongest rowing nation of the
games. The Kayak rowers seem
to take after them, and a gentle
shower of gold and silver medals
fell on both in the recent Olympic
Games. The yachting people took
the opportunity to prove their in
ternational class, and the stand
ard of Danish swimming girls is
well-known to all sports-loving
countries; suffice it to say here
that on the files of the interna-
tional Federation Danish girls are
responsible for 16 world records.
Other Sports
Badminton, boxing, archery, rid
ing and fencing are other games
where Denmark ranks high inter-
nationally. Danish sport has taken
great strides forward since the
Olympic games in London. TIL e
many good results achieved there
have inspired many youths to Join
up, and as Danish sports leaders
consider work for youth their pri-
mary concern, and as the neces-
sary funds have now been made
available, it is hoped that a great
future lies ahead of Danish sport.

farmers have awakened to the
possibilities of profits from pine
trees. Since forestry work began
i'm Holmes county, demand for
pine seedlings to restock idle land
has grown considerably ard it is
expected that the demand will
increase further.
The simplest means of restock-
ing an area with pines is to let
nature do it. Nature, however,
fails too often to restock our idle
acres with pines because Of the
numerous obstacles she must over
come and the complexity of con-
ditions that must exist at the
time she tries.
Pine trees produce some seed
each year but a crop Of seed in
sufficient quantities to overcome
natural hazards is produced only
once in three to seven years. So
we see that natural reseeding
does not take place every year and
unless tree planting is resorted to
man must wait up to seven years
on natures whim.
Pine trees do not produce them
selves as prolifically as do broom
straw, lespedeza and bermuda
grass. In order to get fair to good
reproduction on an acre of land
it is necessary to have as many
as $500 pine cones Or burrs per
acre on well distributed seed
trees. 1t will take about ten trees
to produce this much seed and
the trees will usually have to be
ten inches and larger to produce
seed in sufficient production. The

In spite of the material impor-

to point out that the loss from

sum for a county. If this situation
were appreciated and understood
public opinion would not tolerate
it.
A few professional foresters
cannot change the attitude of our
people toward our forests. That
becomes an educational task in
which the schools must play an
important part as well as all edu-
cational agencies. The Future

out their responsibilities in this
respect. A better forestry pro-
