in the same field were not affected

An experiment was conducted in
duplicate in 1920 by planting sunflow-
ers at six different distances apart in
rows, ranging from one inch to twelve
inches. From the limited tests made
in growing the crop for silage it seems
bleat the best method would be to have
the rows about thirty-six inches apart
and the plants six inches a.part in the
rows. This would require about seven
pounds of seed per acre or nearly one-
third of a measured bushel. The seed
may be sown with an ordinary grain
chilli by plugging some of the tubes.

both quality and quantity of silage, to
allow the plants to become as far ad-

be lost. Sunflowers may be harvested
with. ordinary torn machinery. Where

2. After a long morning of exercise
and study, a growing child is ready for
a good, nourishing meal. Instead, he
sits down to a cold lunch that fre-
quently consists of inadequate and
partly frozen foods, while the family
at home is, enjoying a goad, hot meal.
Such food is not conducive to mental
activity—it is, to a great degree, the
cause of many cases of malnutrition,
which leads to backwardness in work
among school -children. Upon •- proper
food depends the development of a

The Welfare of: the ,Bow
Teaching Through Play --By Mrs, C. W, savage.
Is there a kindergarten in youe coin- ing them after you. Find the time
munity ?
No? Then why not practice kinder-
garten principles in your own home?
I do not mean by this' that you must
sit down and devote every second for
three hours to your �ohildren. But
teach your child while you are about
your work. Teach hint through play.
To -day play is considered a great
factor in education. "Play is the ex-
pression of awakening instincts."
Watch your little girl with her•doll.
The doll is her baby and she is its
mother. Through this play she is de-
veloping, the instinct of mother love,
Watch your little boy playing store
or fireman. He, too, is preparing for
future :manhood. Let us then teaeh
through play.
It is an acknowledged fact that the
kindergarten gives a child certain ad-
vantages, by cultivating self-confi-
dence, the power of observation, or-
iginality of thought, and other:quali-
tne%
Let us see if it is not possible for
the mother to develop similar char-
acteristics at home.
First, Self-confidence: If the child
asks' to help with.the dishes, make
the bed, or perform other little tasks,
do not be,too busy to listen to the
request. Accept the offer of , assis-
tance with thanks, even if the work
takes Tenger or needs to be done over.
Remember this is one of the ways of
developing self-confidence and helpful
ness. Discouragement will clot culti-
vate self-confidence.
-Second, aibility to .memorize and
think: Children Jove anything rhyth-
mic, whether the words are under-
stood or not. Repeat or sing nursery
rhymes and jingles to the children.
Soon they will be repeating and sing -
during the day to read or telly them
stories. Every child loves a story,
especially if acted eut.
Third, Love of Nature: When out•
for walks teach the children about the
trees, flowers, and birds. Nature can
be known and' loved in the partes of
the city, as well as in the woods and
fields of the country. And readin
nature steries •supplements the first-
hand knowledge the children are gain-
ing, thus adding to their interest and ..
appreciation'.
Fourth, Observation: This can be
cultivated by giving a child magazines,
cabling his attention to the different
pictures and pointing out every detail ,•
Then as he studies for himself, not
one thing in a picture, no matter how
small, will escape his eye. And. he will
become observant not only of pictures,
but of everything else about !him, '
Fifth, Originality: With `blocks, the
sandpile or plasticine (the latter can '
be purchased at stores carrying school
supplies), a child • can be instructed in
the making of various objects; -Soon.
he will branch out for himself, doing
really creative work. `-
Sixth, Cleanliness and Orderliness:.
A child should be commended for' pick -
bag up.his toys when he has - finished
his play, having it:impressed >upon
him that.these toys are his aesponsi-
bility. If notice is taken of"his clean.
face and handsitbefore and after meals,
then constant . reminding will not be
necessary. Kind and gentle appreeia-
tion is an inspiration. Fretful critic

Potato soup requires twelve pota-

half cup of butter, half scup. of flour,
two. tablespoons of salt, one tablespoon
of celery salt, 'half a'wteaspoon of white
pepper, one teaspoon shopped parsley..
Before •School.—Wash potatoes with
.a vegetable brush, peed, wash again
and place 'in •cold water. Peel onion
and slice: Put peelings in garbage
can. Place a kettle of water on stove,
Before Recess.—Place the potatoes
and onion in the . kettle of boiling
water and 'boil until soft (twenty to
thirty minutes), planning the time so.
that the potatoes will'be cooked by
recess, Drain Off water immediately.
During Recess. Place` milk in
double boiler to .scald. Drain potatoes,
if not already done. Press the hot pota-
toes through a ricer or mash. Pour
some of the milk slowly over the
mashed potatoes and stir until smooth.
Measure butter and melt in saucepan;
add flour and seasonings. Stir con-
stantly and. cook until blended togeth-
er. Add some of the hot milk slowly
and cook until it .thickens. Pour into
potato mixture in double boiler; stir
well. Werth cups and provide water
for dishes.
After Recess—Cook soup, thirty
minutes and keep warrn for serving.
At Noon.—Serve soup. Rinse all
cooking dishes and pile up neatly for
washing. Wash as many cooking dish-
es as possible before lunching hour.

The Death of Summer.

Asters have heralded Summers death
And the kind sky shrouded her all

Draped a cloud on her, fold an fold,
Goldenrod showered her with his gold,
And the breeze so sweet,
In the strange still heat,
Dropped a kiss at his dead love's feet,
Murmur of bees and rustle of grass,.
As it stoops to bend its head,
Letting the ghost of the Summer pees

Her eyes were blue as your eyes are

While earth and .sky
