This is what the ' "best" breakfast includes: One helpin# of fruit ; one cup of milk, % cup "cereal breakfast food (whole grain is desirable); ? slices of toast with butter. • ' ^ As to the lnnch itself--fresh milk, vegetables, and fruits are first essentials. Tf a hot dish containing them is not served at school they should __ be included In the lunch carried from home. Incidentally, that hot dish served at school is very nece s s a r y . ; > V . - ' V Y - Here Is a standard "pattern" for the school lunch that should be followed in general.

Of course almost any sandwich is improved in both tastel and rititritlve value by the addition of such greens as - a leaf of lettuce, shredded cabbage, raw spinach or parsley. And this is one way to include that necessary green vegetable in the lunch. Highly seasoned salad dressings should not be used in sandwiches for ..young children but plain oil dressing or fruit juices improve ^)OSt any Sandwich mixture. Growers Should Test Variety; Adopt Kind Suited to Community. Oordon K. Middleton. Beed Spwhlllt, North Carolina Stats College. WND Service. Inspection of wheat for certification of seed under the regulations of thi. North Carolina Crop Improvement association has revealed the fact that se<*d wheat In this state is badly mixed. We need some careful standardization done by communities, counties and oven districts. It is entirely possible for the growers of a community 'to test the adapted varieties of wheat, secure the one best suited to their community and to adopt this variety as the one for all to grow. This will prevent mixing to a great extent and assure the community Of having wheat which will find ready favor among the millers. It is only t>y growing pure varieties of wheat with good milling qualities that the best grade* of floOr can be madei Y Fifty fields of" wheat were selected at random in the Important wheatgrowing countries of the state the past spring and Inspected' for varietal mix- •-tares. Out of the fifty, there were twelve fields having over 20 per cent of mixhtres and the counts in one field showed 56 per cent of bearded wheat and 44 per cent of sniooth-headed wheat. Only two fields could be classed as pure and of the total, 76 per cent contained sufficient mixture to make the wheat objectionable for seed purposes. Tn contrast to this, inspection was made of 19 other fields where the owners were seeking to have their wheat certified, and it was satisfactory. This proves that wheat seed can be kept practically pure. Most of the mixing occurs because threshing machinery and reeleaning'machinery are not properly cleaned.

By following this sys. tem, one can practically be sure that his pigs will be free from worms at weaning time. The same is true of lamhs. If one can grow lambs on ground that has not been grazed by sheep for several years» worm infestation can be largely avoided. Mrs. Joseph Martini and family re- ^hlle we have advocated this systurned to their home in Chicago after 4em for hog' lamb and Poult.r>' raisinE visiting Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wagner the past week.

Such belts usually had the beads arranged In symbolic figures. How Much Colt Weighs The office of horse husbandry says that a colt at birth generally weighs about one-tenth of the dam's weight For example, a 1,000-pound mare will generally have a foal weighing about 100 giounds at birth. / Clock 75 Year* Old • A seventy-five-year-old clock lu Essex county courthouse at Lawrence, Mass.. has one face to tell the time of day and another to tell the day of the month. for many years, comparatively few farmers follow it. Using clean ground in raising live stock not only prevents worm Infestation, but it also avoids disease Infection of many kinds. Keeping live stock quarters free from" parasites and disease is ideal but difficult, and. as a matter of fact, never Is carried out except to a very, minor degree. Worms are not difficult to get rid of If proper attention Is given to the matter. Worms stunt growth and reduce the vitality of pigs and lambs, and thus render them more susceptible to disease. Young stork should be kept as free from worms as possible, and a good time tof\drive out the worms is at weaning or as Soon thereafter as possible. -- Wallaces' Farmer." .• AH Fowls Are Susceptible in Warm Weather. A flock of hens Infested with worms wHl not lay nearly so many eggs as a similar flock free from these parasites. As a rule, worms do not affect chick ens until they are two or three months old, but from then on all fowls are susceptible to them, particularly ' in warm weather. It is easier to prevent chickens becoming Infested with worms than it is to eradicate them later. The first and most important step In the prevention of worms, notes a writer in the Montreal Elerald, is to practice strict sanitation in the poultry houses as well as in the poultry yards. Poultry yards should be spread at least twice a year with Ume. then spaded or plowed. The poultry houses Should be cleaned thoroughly at least once a week. Not only should drop pings boards and roosts be scraped, but they should also be disinfected with a good disinfectant. Feeders and fountains -should be washed and disinfected "at the same ti&e. If possible, young stock should be on ground on which chickens have not been for two years. It is not enough, however, to practice sanitation on your poultry plant and then just take It for granted that your birds are not afflicted with worms. If the laying flock is producing poorly, if the birds look tired, have sharp breast bones and pale combsr or if the young stock looks unthrifty and is thin, with lifeless plumage, it is quite likely they have worms. The only thing to do then Is to cut open one or two of the worst looking birds and perform a post-mortem operation, slitting the intestines their entire length. If you find worms, you can be pretty sure that the rest of the flock is also Infested. Dairy Income The cash Income of farUiers from sales of milk and milk products fn 1932 Is estimated at a little less than a billion dollars ($98T>,090,000). Adding to this the value of the milk, cream, and butter used In households on the farms where produced, gives, a gross Income from dairy products In 1932 of about one and a quarter billion dollars ($1,200,424,000). With the prices of most farm products declining even faster than the prices of dairy products, the proportion of the total income of farmers derived from milk increased from 19% per ce8nt In 1929 to 24% per cent In 1932. If allowance is made for the value of the milk cows and the calves of milk cows sold or slaughtered in 1932, the total income of farmers from dairying was close to $1,400,000,000 or about 27 per cent of the income from all farm products.-- United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Cruaoa't Lobster* When Alexander Selkirk, the sailor on whose experiences Daniel Defoe based "Robinson Crusoe," <» was put ashore on Juan Fernandez, this Pacific island was so isolated that four years passed before he was taken off. Today live" lobsters froip Juan Fernandez are rushed 365 miles by boat to Chile, lifted by plane over the Andes and flown to Buenos Ayres, where they grace dinner tables at the nominal cost of $2 a pound* Hopper Feeding of Both Grain and Mash Is O. K'd Hopper feeding of both grain and mash the year round seems to be increasing. Several experiment stations have found it to be satisfactory, particularly so for the special laying breeds. It seems to be (Joubtful whether it works as yell for the meat type of birds. Many poultry men are hopper feeding corn and oats,' but not wheat, for the reason that when wheat is fed with corn and oats, the birds generally consume a greater percentage of wheat than of the other grains. .In that event, because wheat brings the highest price of common grains, the tendency would be to increase the feed cost. To obviate this^difliculty, wheat Is not hopper fed; from four to six poupds of this grain is fed daily in the litter, per hundred birds. Hopper feeing of grain, except wheat, Is liked for s&veral reasons. It simplifies the feeding problem and it is more sanitary. Ileduclng labor cost is something upon which everybody is concentrating, and may perhaps be the main reason why hopper feeding of grain I* gradually gaining in popularity. -- Cost to Produce Eggs The cost of producing a dozen eggs on 211 Ohio farms the past year ranged from 11.1 to 25.8 cents, according to statistics collected by the state extension department. These eggs sold for an average price of 23% cents a dozen. Thus the 20 farms, where the egg cost was 25.8 cents, lost approximately 2 cents a dozen; while the most efficient flocks on 65 farms, fchere the cost was 11.1 cents, returned a profit of 12.4 cents a dozen. Wholesale Culling ; There are at least two periods when wholesale culling Is in, order. The first, observes a writer in "Successful Farming, Is Just prior to housing the pullets In their winter quarters; the second is In midsummer just as the hens are completing theVye&r's production. In the culling of pullets many authorities state that usually* as high as 15 per cent of those raised to maturity should be marketed rather than held as prospective layers. Woman Pilot Dies in Crash During Race wreckage *n whlchf Florence KlingenBinlth of Minneapolis, Minn., was killed at the air races at CUPfield, Gienrtew, 11L Miss Klingmsmith, an entry in the Phillips Trophy race, crashed when her motor missed and fellef to torn the pyton, fallin/ about one-half mite from the MM. Small Bird, Small Egg . With the price of eggs remaining low, but with the price of feed higher, there Is a tendency to allow the pullets ob range to get along the best they can. It has been well proven that within the breed the smaller the bird the smalletj the egg. If pullets come Into production next fall small in body size, you will havfc more than your share of small eggs. Young birds on the range, pullets especially, should not be allowed to shift for themselves. --Indiana Farmers' Guide. ; ' Packing and Grading Use good cases, cup flats and fillers, advises a writer in the Ohio Farmer. Use excelsior pads or cup flats on the bottom and top of the case. Place eggs In the case with small ends down. Grade eggs Into large, medium, and small size and pack each size together (in a single case or in separate cases if more than one case is marketed). Both white and brown eggs may be l>acked in same case but all eggs of same colors should always be together. Tomato Sub» for Citru* Fruit* Tomatoes are a substitute for citrus fruits In supplying vitamin G, vvhich helps to protect gums and teeth. The acid of tomatoes protects this vitamin in cooking, so canned tomatoes are at valuable as the fresh fruit.

They were the toast of the South. Three of them married successfully, almost brilliantly, moved to New1: York and settled down to a smug respectability. The plantation was rented" and the Lovely family prepared for a new generation--all except Smif. The old ancestral home which she loved was gone, and she had no new home or family of her own. Belonging neither to one generation nor the other, adored by both, she was left alone-in between. The handsomest of the girls in her youth, the pet of the family, no ©nd jolly, grown a little too fat, a little too "set" in her ways--did ; these things deter SmiftHfrt by a long shot! For the first time she was free and unaccountable. If adventure and romance and slendarness and Lovelylea wouldn't come to her, she would go out after them . Wasn't she clever and resourceful? ^his is the, story of Kow she became Madame Saitou, a little sister to the rich, gave advice to a man who wanted to be rid of his next door neighbor, had a time with blackmailers, encountered the heavenly Culpepper twins, and changed the life of almost everyone who knew her and including herself. All storiei % some extent- but the great majority follow more or less established lines as to plot and characters. I'The Fourth Lovely Lady" departs from these established lines in many wayg. Smif is unusual as a character, and her activities create an unusual : plot. Bnt Smif is real. Every reader can easily imagine just such character among her or his acquaintances. ^She is distinctly human and sees the human side of life. "The Fourth Lovely Lady" is not'a problem story. Its purpose is to amuse and entertain the reader, and it will do those things for every reader. ATVith Smif aa a leading character, and her sisters and others as a background, Therese Benson has created the best of her numerous good stories. Second installment of this very interesting story starts in this issue of 1 Each week an enstallment will appear until the complete novel is finished.
