 News and Notes
By Marylou Rideout

After two months leave, the Home Agent is back at work! In form-of greeting on the desk, just arrived, are several hundred brochures which tell very well the purpose and workings of Homemakers' clubs. Many of you who read this column are mem- bers of Homemakers' club; but for you who are not and are won dering just what clubs do, how to start club, and what various homemakers say about club work, this pamphlet is for you and your neighbor. Also listed, are all our: fine free Alaskan bulletins.
 "A club woman is woman with a club which she uses to batter down intolerance, combat ignorance, and police up com munity untidiness".
 During February and March Homemaker club projects are Greenhouses" and Plans for My 1854 Garden. Now is the time to think about ordering seeds. The Extension Service has a list of rec ommended vegetable varieties. Stop in for your copy.
 Now we have a nice parka pat tern in three sizes, 12, 14, and 16, and pattern for mukluks and nit tens. These patterns may be on loan from the office or if you wish a set of your own the Home Agent can secure a set for you or tell you where a set may be purchas- ed. Remember that the Extension Service does have quite selec- ton of patterns for your use. Maybe before Christmas when the stole apron was shown at our workshop you were too busy to make one; stop in for the pat tern now

SCS Demonstrates
 New Wood Chipper

A successful wood-chipper dem onstration was held Monday af- ternoon by Lew Hanks of the Soil Conservation Service and Richard Blue, extension service agent. The chipper was recently purchased by the SCS through cooperation of the Alaska Rural Rehabilita- ton Corporation. E
 Brush, sticks and even stones were run through the chipper to demonstrate its potentialities to more than 60 interested persons. The chipper will be available to farmers on a rental basis by con- tacting Lew Hanks. A ten dollar deposit will be required and rent will be ten dollars per day. The chipper is believed. to be the solu- ton to supplying cheap bedding for livestock.
 The demonstration was con- ducted on the Grange Hall prop erty as a cooperative venture.

which your family prefers? No doubt mashed potatoes will get honorable mention, or better. Re- cent surveys in U. S. showed
 them as top favorite. But per haps you serve plain boiled pota- toes routinely because you feel it's difficult to make good mashed potatoes and that it takes too much time. Since potatoes are so plentiful, in addition to using re- cipes from the Extension Bulletin "Favorite Recipes For Potatoes" just try mashing potatoes. Here are some good tips: begin with lot, freshly cooked peeled pota- toes. Be sure the potatoes are tender all the way through, yet not broken or "water-logged".
The frontiersman., 1954-02-04

Hot tender cooked potatoes can be beaten up fast with an electric beater-or use hand maSher or a ricer. The important point is to work fast and keep the potatoes hot. AS you mash or beat, add hot milk gradually. Just enough to make the potatoes smooth and
 fluffy. Add salt, pepper, butter or margarine. Potatoes put through ricer, then seasoned and left as fluffy riced particles are delicious Ca ricer is a cheap utensil to pur- chase) or riced potatoes may be beaten and served as mashed po- tatoes. One item for sure, potatoes served this way are free of Jumps.

 Superintendent of Wasilla school Ernie Line reports that the Wasilla School teachers recently attended the teachers conference sponsored by the Anchorage Edu- cation Assn. and held in the new Anchorage High School. The pur- pose of this conference-as is the purpose of any teachers confer ance-was to exchange ideas, de- velop new ideas, and refresh and renew educational concepts and philosophies.
 All this was accomplished by the very excellent planning of Anchorage teacher personnel and by the very stimulating series of addresses by Dr, Julia Bartolazzo, president of Stockton College in California.
 It is the sincere wish of the Wasilla teachers that the confer ence idea be continued because of the undeniable worth of the pro- gram.

when he discusses his pet grippe.
With some, it's politicians who don't
see things quite the way they do;
for others, it might be the cline
that keeps 'em stirred up all the
time; some folks are members of
the class which gets aroused bout
Johnson grass, and then there's
those who blow their tops when bugs
start chewing on their crops.
Such minor things do not succeed
in causing me to go off feed; my
dispositions so sublime, it takes a

got for me until I'm settled meath

way to see how fishing is today.

Device Measures
Moisture in Grain

A SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE but ac-
curate moisture checker for on-the-
farm testing of various grains has been
designed by Glenn A. Lindberg, Gla-
cier County farmer.
The checker, Lindberg says, requires
no weighing of grain, no zeroing and
no charts, except simple temperature
correction chart. Moisture content of
the grain is read directly off the scale
Its accuracy appears to be tO2
per cent at the dry end of the scale,
-f0.7 per cent at the wet end,' Lind
berg adds. II don't believe that is
excessive for on-farm use. Some test
ers at local elevators may vary by
more than one per cent"
''Size of the sample is not critical, -
he explains. "The only rule is to fill
the box full, turn the knob to extinquish
the neon light and read the moisture
content on the scale. Scale range is
1876 to II per cent on wheat and 1925
to II per cent on barley

Havre Field Day
Well Attended

OVER 200 FARMERS and ranchers
got first hand look at experimental
crop work being done at the North
Montana Branch Station at Havre.
Wheat and barley breeding, range man.
agement practices and new develop
mentS in weed control were the main
features of the July 8 field day.
Laurence o. Baker, tillage, crop ro-
tation, weed control and small grain
specialists at the Havre station. said
the objective of work being done in
wheat is to develop varieties suited to
the climate and soil conditions of Mon
tana that have improved milling and
baking qualities and are resistant to
wheat stem SaWfly.
Experiments in barley breeding, ac-
cording to Robert ESlick of the Boze-
man Experiment Station, are aimed
at the development of higher yielding
varieties through increasing seed size,
number of tillers and number of seeds
to the head. Work is under way on a
suitable mailing barley for Montana,
and future plans call for experimental
ton on hulless Compana, which, if
successful, could replace corn as a
livestock feed in the state.
Speaking on range management prac-
tees, Gene Payne of the Bozeman sta
ton, emphasized that every range has
its own problems. Each rancher, he
said, must seek to control the unde-
Sirable plants on his range that use
moisture but provide no feed. In re-
seeding over-grazed land Payne pointed
out that mixed grass range provides
three to four times the feed as a blue
grama range.
New weed control chemicals being
tested were explained by James Krall
of the Central Montana Branch Station
at MoccaSin. Work is under way to
determine their effectiveness in the con-
troll of perennial weeds, grassy weeds,
and their use in chemical fallow. Krall
pointed out that there is likely to be
a buildup of weeds. not affected by
2,4-D, and new methods for their con-
troll will have to be developed.
Following the tour of the expert
mental plots, the visitors saw a fire
control demonstration by Jack Clark
assistant chief of the Havre fire de-
partment Clark showed the effective
ness of chemical fire extinguishers OF
gasoline and grass fires.
