I Extension of the "grubstake" plan, which drew wide interest in Washburn county during 1940, to at least three and possibly eight new counties in 1941 was announced today at Madison by Josephine Pollock, assistant state home demonstration leader. One of the counties considering the plan is Oneida, she said. Miss Pollock, who is'chairman of a special committee on family food supply at the University of Wisconsin college of agriculture, reports that "grubstake." which provides for increasing home production of food for family needs, has been adopted in Sawyer, Lincoln and Taylor counties, and that these counties are already goinjj ahead with plans for the project.

Grubstake is an adaption of the old and proved plan of providing for the future by producing as much of the food supply as possible at home through garden, orchard, chickens, pig, cow and other means. It was adopted in Washburn county by county officials in earlv 1940 in order to help reduce some of the expense of the county's relief load and in rehabilitating those families depending almost entirely on outside sources for their food supplies.

'Ihe project was carried under the supervision of the Wa.shburn county agent, and of the county home supervisor of the farm security administration in co-operation with representatives of federal, state and local agricultural and relief agencies. It look the form of a county-wide campaign and as such has attracted wide interest not only in Washburn county but outside as well. Dr. J. D.

In villages, he said, there are limitations but even here it is possible for many village to raise a garden and to have chickens. Out on farms, where cattle ahfl pigs can be raised. Dr. Eastwold I points out that it entirely sible for a family of four or five people to produce from $300 (to I $500 'worth of food, an amoiirit which means a saving in iricoM; i which can be used for other'pur-- poses.
