First suggested by on editorial In Tho Bullotin last December, tho farm Idea was actively taken up by tho local Commercial Club with tho Iddn of discovering just what crops could bo raised In tho homestead country under propor conditions of seed soloN ilon (Mid cultivation. In order that tho experiment might ho watched by as' niany settlors as posslblo thrco tracts woro obtained for the purposo, one at Milllcan, ono nt Hnmpton and one at Rivers. County Agriculturist LovQtt was consultod In tho selection of tho land and also advlBcd as to Its preparation nid tho care ct tho crops. Ho has now rendorod tho fol lowing roport: Jxivctt Make Report. "Tho County Agriculturist Is spending tho major portion of his tlmo ths season in work with In terested - farmors In demonstrating crops and varieties that will pay woll In tho various sections of tho coun ty. It is yet oarly for dotlnlto reports rind absoluto results on nil of those demonstrations.

KING HAS GOOD AUDIENCE Says HousctthoM Wasteful Do Not Develop Hy-lVoducts From Fruit and Vegetables Questions aro Asked , and Answered by Her. V That a collogo or university courso In homo economics Is not an absoluto essential in house keeping, nnd es pecially that part concerned with canning nnd preserving fruits and vegetables wob shown by Mrs. M. E, King of Richmond, special demon strator for tho O.-W. It. & N., who spoko boforo GO ladles Tuesday af ternoon In tho Commercial Club rooms. Mrs. King's spcclnlty Is can ning and preserving fruits and vog otablos in which business sho Is en gaged on hor farm at Richmond. Tho exercise of common sonso In putting up fruits nnd vogotnhlos, and less attention paid to tradition will, according to Mrs. King, bring bettor results to ninny liouso wives, Ob servations mndo on her extended tour of' tho Northwest, during which Mrs. King has talked to moro than B;000 women Interested in homo economics have satisfied hor than housewives nro too extravagant lit tho uso of sugar, which practice destroys tho natural flavor of tho fruit or vege tables. Anothor observation Is that housewives aro wasteful nnd do not, for the most part, uttllzo tho by products of tho articles they can. Mb. King told tho Bond womon ycatonlny of tho many by-products which may bo developed from the fruits and vegetables, a valuablo part of which, they now throw away, Many Women Ignorant. Although rapid ownnces havo beon toward BanftatlApnln canning many women aro lfirit of tho proper mothod Of eUfjfelng fruit Jars. All dotrlrhdnJol&lMos nnd gorms con ho drlvenout of tho jars nnd fruit Uirqugh tho boiling pro cess, which necessitate lirlnnlnc tho jrult In tho jars to n h,lKtf tempora- turf-. When this Is dono, tho Jars should bo tightly scaled, and stood up-sldoJdown, n process wjiloh nlso aids Btcrlllratlon-of the nlr nnd pro vents fermentation nnd growth In Jars oftor long standing. Pencils woro busy throughout Tuesday's lvcturo, and tho Indies presont wro apparently ongur to ob tain nil tho hints and roclpcn which Mrs. King gnvo. With hor long ox portonce In tliU work Mrs, King has made many valuablo discoveries of tho host mothods to proBorvo fruits and vogotabluB. Housewives Should fitudy. "I bollovo," Mrs. King said, "that If women woro not so concerned with putting up largo auantlttos of fruit, but paid moro attention to preserving tho natural 'llavor. whlnh takes only n little moro caro, nnd tlmo, tho 1 wiiilfl Im'fn. mnrn ftlinnnaf,,! ffnllan-1 wives nre too prono to follojv what their mothors and grnndmothors havo taught them In this particular, ond do not gtvo onnugh attention to making a fow slmplo discoveries for themselves. Caro of Jars boforo put ting fruit In thorn Is ono of tho most essential pnrta of cnnolng bocnuso upon tha clor.nllnesn of Jars depends r ft i I : ffl largoly tho length of tlmo tho fruit will keep. Women nro too nnxlous to lavish sugar, and this I find tho most provnlcnt mlstnku In cnnnlng ond especially preserving. "I hnvo been surprised to And on my tour, during which I havo opoken beforo largo audiences In moro than 40 towns, thnt tho womon aro moro interested In homo economics than I had expected. They scorn to desire moro scientific methods. Tho news papers, through tholr mngazlno sec tions nnd nows columns given to homo sanitation, havo dono mbro than any othor modlum to help housowlves to becomo bottor cooks. I havo great faith In tho work that Is being dono by tho collogos and uni versities in homo economics, but they cannot do nil. Womon must oxor cIbo Judgment If they wish to bocomo moro proficient In tho culinary art." After .Mrs. King had complotcd her rogulnr lecture many In the nudlonco romalned nnd tho demonstrator an swered a volloy of particular ques tions concerning tho Held In which sho Is Interested. Many of these points Mrs. King demonstrated with tho equlpmont sho carrlos with hor on tho tour. A similar demonstration to that held In Bond Tuosdny was mndo In Prlnovlllo today. S.
