S. A. C. If Ycu Are Twenty-Five. To serve a Christmas family dinner or any other holiday meal for 25 persons requires planning and good management.

From her fund of experience. Miss Iva Welch, assistant director of the college cafeteria, offers the following suggestions that might be adopted by those In charge of lodge banquets as well as by the hostess for large family gatherings. The menu suggested is: Cocktail Grapefruit and ginger ale Turkey and dressing Sweet potato patties Pickle rings Fresh green beans Cranberry salad Clover leaf rolls Butter Steamed pudding Apricot sauce Coffee There is character both in the appearance and flavor of the grapefruit ginger ale cOcktall. Its bright color blends well with Christmas decorations and its flavor finds general favor if served with ginger ale freshly poured. For 25 servings three cans of grapefruit and three pint sof ginger ale are needed.

One-half pound of dressed weight turkey to the person is a good rule to follow in purchasing turkey. About three pounds of dressing and a 15-pound turkey should suffice fer 25 guests. Sweet potato patties offer a change from the usual way of serving that vegetable. Mash well cooked sweet potatoes, fold in black walnut meats, place In well buttered muffin pans, and heat through in a slow oven. Before removing from the oven, place a marshmallow on each patty and brown.

Use a pie knife to slip the patties from the pan to a plate. Probable amounts needed are eight pounds sweet potatoes, one-fourth pound butter, one pint milk, one and one-half cup nut meats, one tablespoon salt, and 25 marshmallows. Apricot sauce Is good with any pudding. For 25 servings ue whipped cream blended with one cup apricot pulp and sweeten with one-fourth cup powdered sugar. Corn Stalks Kill.

MOP Soy Bean Train To Tour S. E. Kansas St. Louis, Dec. 20.

For the purpose of directing attention to the advantages of soybeans as a farm crop, a soybean exhibit train will be operated over the Missouri Pacific in eastern Kansas and southeastern Nebraska counties, stopping at 24 different points during the period from January 5 to 31. inclusive. The soybean exhibit train, consisting of three cars, will be a joint enterprise between the agricultural development department of the Missouri Pacific railroad company and the Kansas State Agricultural College. Exhibits will include information and material on production of the crop, as well as various commercial products made in milling processes. The schedule- of the train is so arranged that the will appear at one point In a county.

At moot towns, the train will be on exhibit all day long. Representatives of the college and the railroad are cooperating with local committees In arrangement of the programs. A feature of the program at each point will be a county-wide soybean show, at which hay and seed exhibits will be entered by farmers who grew beans last year. Another feature will be the presentation of a one-act play by the personnel of the train, emphasizing advantages of soybeans as a farm crop in eastern Kansas. Fertilizer Is Needed For Good Farm Pasture Topeka, Dee.

20. (AP) George F. Jordan of the Missouri Ruralist, writing in the January issue of Cappers Farmer, prescribes treatment to make the farm pasture more than an exercise lot. The rickety frame of Old Pica, purebred Guernsey cow whose spotted coat failed to conceal an ailment from which she was dying, is presented as an indictment of slipshod pasture methods. Drought parched grazing land is seen not as a necessary evil, but more generally as a result of the failure of stock feeders and dairymen to recognize the need of grass for fertilization and protection in the spring growing season.

A- reminder that eastern farmers regard grass as one of their best crops is included. Mr. Jordan based his article on demonstrations he viewed in a tour last summer through the middle-west, eastern Canada, New England and the middle Atlantic states. If you would make a pasture profitable, the editor wrote, one of the first requirements Is to give the grass roots a square meal. No other crop will respond more readily.

Commercial fertilizer of the right kind, used in the right way at the right time win get results. 4 5 4 4 3 FARM CALENDAR 8 -December 29 January 3. AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS W. E. Grimes.

Taken as a whole. Kansas land values for the state did not change during the past year. In fact, there has been no change since 1925. This Information is included in the Farm Real Estate situation for 1929-30, which has Just been issued by the United States department of agriculture. The situation in Kansas where there has been no change compares.

with a decline of 1 per cent for the entire United States and a decline of 3 per cent for the group of states which includes Kansas. Kansas land values are 113 per cent of their prewar level, while land values for the United States are 115 per cent of their prewar level. ANIMAL HUSBANDRY F. W. Bell.

The Kansas sheep farmer may find it profitable to raise early lambs, provided they are properly housed and managed. Lambs that are bom in January Or February can be In May or June at the weight of 60 pounds or more. The sheep will experience much less trouble from stomach worms If he raises early lambs and markets them before they have been on pasture to6 long. Lambs do not become Infested with stomach worms until they go to pasture. HORTICULTURE W.

F. Pickett. Hybrid tea roses should be given some winter protection. A satisfactory method is to mulch the plants with straw or leaves to a height of about 12 to 15 Inches In early winter. The stems projecting above the mulch may be removed at the same time.

RURAL ENGINEERING John Open ditches and terrace waterways that are permitted to go through the winter completely or partly "choked up with growth of weeds and grass will do poor job of handling drainage water next spring. By cleaning out these channels, you will be killing twro birds with one stone. Prof. E. G.

Kelly, extension Insect control specialist of the College, will agree with me that to burn out these ditches and waterways will be a real contribution toward ridding the farm of chinch bugs harboring in the weeds and grass. The removal of the undergrowth leaves a clean drainage channel that will carry a maximum flow of water next spring. POULTRY D. C. Warren.

Is the male bird more important than the female for the transmission of egg production tendencies? The answer to that question is that, as an individual, the male is no more Important than the female. It is true that the male contributes to the hereditary makeup of more offspring than any other female, and for that reason is a source of more rapid improvement of the flock. There Is some experimental evidence that the sire contributes more than does the dam to the age at which a daughter starts laying. AGRONOMY M. C.

Sewell. Gophers, or ground squirrels, cause much damage to alfalfa and sweet clover stubble at this time of the year. Where fresh gopher mounds are observed, it Is advisable to apply poisoning to kill the gophers. PLANT PATHOLOGY E. H.

Leker. The brown or black streaks on the inside of potatoes ire probably due to fusarlum wilt, a disease that starts before the potatoes are harvested but that further develops while the potatoes are in storage. The best Control for the disease is to plant certified seed. Buy your potato seed as soon as possible, and buy only certified seed or seed of known quality. DAIRYING J.

B. Fitch. Every milk and cream producer should recognize the fact that his stable and his milk house are places where human food is produced, and, further, that the health and even the lives of the children of the country depend to a large extent cn conditions existing on the farms where the milk, that serves as their main food, produced. A sanitary bam and milk house are a good advertisement for your product. You should welcome inspection by your patrons at all times.

Kansas Only, State Holding Farm Value Topeka, Dec. 20. (AP) Of all the states In the com belt, Kansas was said by J. c. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture, in a report published today, to be the only one In which farm real estate values did not decrease in the year ended March 1, 1930.

Moreover, Kansas, Secretary Mohler said, is the only state in the group, extending front Pennsylvania to Colorado, in which the value of farin real estate 'has remained without change in every year since 1925. He said a federal department of agriculture circular showed Nebras-wa and Iowa now have the same percentage of farm real estate valuation as Kansas, which is 13 points above the prewar average of 1912-1914, but hat both of these states had lost in the past year while Kansas had not.
