She Likes to Cook 



(Continued from page 7) 



"You never heard of a good German 

 who didn't have a big garden did you" 

 she laughed. "I have all the extras to 

 sell that we don't use or can. I usually 

 raise around 600 chickens, although 

 last year I did have 720. They come in 

 pretty handy. Then, George butchered 

 15 hogs during the winter. One year, 

 through the market, we disposed of 12 

 hogs and 5 baby beeves. We have 

 found that baby beef sells better than 

 veal." 



Mr. and Mrs. Hampel live on a 240 

 acre farm and are 13 miles from the 

 Home Bureau Market. 



"We haven't had a heater put in the 

 car yet," she said. "I'm always so busy 

 I don't have time to get cold. If some 

 of the people along the highway would 

 work a little faster, they wouldn't have 

 to be building those fires to keep warm 

 all the time. 



"Have you change for a 20," she 

 asked as she went on with her pack- 

 ing of chicken and noodles, and pies. 

 "I want to pick up some oil paper at a 

 little store on the way, and they don't 

 carry much cash." 



We assured her we were very much 

 like the store keeper. That brought 

 up what she did with her money. 



"Well," she said, "George thought the 

 Producers Creamery was a good 

 idea, so we bought shares in that. Then, 

 we also have shares in the Service 

 Company. You see we believe in co- 

 operation in all farm organizations. 



"Sometimes we buy something for 

 the house. We have most everything 

 electric now. An electric refrigerator, 

 electric stove, iron, wash machine and 

 a motor for the cream separator. By 

 the way, that motor is splendid for 

 grinding sausage too. 



"We are very enthusiastic about the 

 rural electrification program. Elec- 

 tricity should be within the reach of all 

 farm homes. For my part I'm willing to 

 work, so I may have those con- 

 veniences." 



Katherine, the daughter in school, 

 said, "Yes, Mom does work too hard. 

 Dad and I would like to have her take 

 it a little easier. But she says she 

 likes it and is happy." 



Look at the picture! She looks happy 

 with her work, doesn't she? After all, 

 what more could any one ask? What 

 more success is there than that! 



The first official estimate of the 1935- 



36 Argentine corn crop is 380,000,000 

 bushels compared with the record crop 

 of last year, 451,943,000. The average an- 

 nual crop for the five years ending with 

 the 1933-34 season was 304,856,000 

 bushels. 



THE SIGN OF A GOOD FARMER 

 Cl!nt Mann of Kendall County it proud of 

 his Farm Bureau membenhip. A total of 34,- 

 875 similar signs have been distributed thus 

 far over the State. 



Horse Population 



Down in Chicago 



"Old Dobbin" promises to become as 

 scarce on city streets as the wild buf- 

 falo. According to figures issued by City 

 Collector Rixmann, of Chicago, only 2,- 

 493 licenses have been issued this year 

 in comparison with 3,476 taken out in 

 1935. It doesn't seem as if 1936 is an 

 off year for horses either, for in 1925, 

 there were 13,692 licenses issued for one- 

 horse vehicles, 4,199 for two-horse teams, 

 and 74 for the elegant carriages which 

 required three or more horses to haul. 



Consumer cooperatives in the United 



States today are doing more than a mil- 

 lion-dollar business every day in the 

 year. 



A storm that hit near Morrison, White- 

 side county recently, destroyed a large 

 number of small buildings, blew down 

 scores of trees, and paralyzed power and 

 communication lines in many sections. 



It is practically certain that the Civil- 

 ian Conservation Corps will become a 

 permanent institution, Director Fechner 

 stated recently. 



J<ltm Q. Scott, formerly farm adviser 



in Clay county, now has the same posi- 

 tion in Douglas county. He took the 

 place of Ward Cannon. Roy K. Wise is 

 new adviser in Clay county. 



L. L. Norton is farm adviser in Han- 

 cock county where he succeeds T. H. 

 Hafer. G. H. Reid has moved into the 

 position as farm adviser of Scott county, 

 a position formerly held by J. L. Iftner.
