information.
e United States uses more
than 300,000,000 parrs of boots
and shoes annually, with a value
of approximately $1,500,009,000.
Soil surveys help farmers to de­
termine what crops and cultural
practices are adapted to their lands.
Furthermore an acquaintance with
the important soil types of ‘heir
locality together with their cor­
rect designations assists farmers
in understanding the best use of
fertilizer, and the cultural and
crop-variety tests carried on by
the experiment stations of the
country.
The soybean has within the last
10 years become a crop of major
importance in the United States,
The plant can be raised success-
fully in any climate suitable to
corri or cotton. It is grown regular­
ly for hay, grain, and pasture, and
with corn as silage. During the
last few years oil mills in the corn
belt and in some of tirs southern
states have crushed fairly large
quantities of domestic beans, and
found ready markets for the oil
and oil meal. Soybeans are asso
used to a limited extent for manu­
facturing breakfast foods, crack­
ers, wafers, soy sauce, bean curd,
soy flour, and special flour prepa­
rations.

To get rid of rats and mice be­
gin by closing up all openings
through which they are likely to
gei into the house, Store all sup-
plies in tight metal or glass con-
taiiiers. Dispose of waste and gar-
beje in tightly covered receptacles,
regularly emptied. Get some bar-
iUm carbonate, a poison, and dis­
tribute it according to the direc­
tions given on the package, by mix­
ing it with foods frequently eaten
by rats and mice, and placing it
where it will be eaten.
Apples appear on the table in
many forms during the early fall,
for there are sure to be windfalls
and imperfect apples which must
be cooked to be saved. Some of
these should be canned as apple
sauce or pie apples, of course. In
addition to pie and dumplings, some
mav be used for apple betty, ap­
ple cobbler, apple snow, Duten ap­
ple cake, upsidb down apple cake,
apple fritters, baked and steamed
apples; others may be put into fruit
salad or fruit cup; with the meat
course one may have fried apples,
sweet apples, or apples and cab­
bage.
Stuffed baked apples are I
also suggested.

Children get into the habit
eating unsuitable food because
busy mother has not time to plan|
and prepare two separate menus. ■
It is relatively easy, however, to
plan menus composed of foods
which are suitable for the chil-;
dren to eat, or to adapt the foods
in the grown-up menu so that the
children may eat them. For exam-;
pie, high flavoring and rich sauces
may be omitted, fruits used Instead
of pastry, and milk desserts given
frequently.
