1 SAVKS HOUSBWIFK. Ilomi'iiuule Device Becomes Woman 1 Right Hand Man. Carrying the meals from the kitchen to the dining room, lerving tea, helping the housewife ji canning time and making a stand for baby's bath are some of the use- of the "utility table." The "utility ta'i'e," formerly known the "kitchen jitney" or "kitchen ford," is being by many houstwives in the state, according to Mis- Minerva Lawrence, extension home management demonstrator of the state College of Washington, It itrue to name, for it's primary purpose is to bridge distances. Every housewife has to take many trips between the dining room an'l kitchen, to set the table, to sen the food and to clear the table after the meal. One trip with'the "utility toblo' will set thn table for breakfast, dinner and supper.

-It is possible to gene the entire dinner with one trip, together with cool deserts, for there is a place on lower shelf for such dishes. When it is time to bathe the baby, if a rubbersheet placed over the table, it is just the right height to set thr tul), and one woman uses it regularly in this way. By such service she has everything close at hand, an I givei the table a larger range of uses. The table is well proportioned in size, being thirty inches eighteen inches wide and stands twentynine inches above the three-inch rubber tired wheels. Rlue prints show- Ing how to make the table may be borrowed, says Miss Lawrence, from the Extension Service, or a visit to your county home demonstration agent or county agent.

WATERING THK GARDEN. irrigation never be substituted for cultivation. There Is nothing can take the place of good tillage. Watering the surface the soil, lint does not make the plant fond available like cultivation. A combination of cultivation and irrigation is better than an excess of ether, is the recommendation of the Extension specialist of the State College of Washington.

There are several methods of applying the water to the and some of the more common ones are, small ditches; sprinkling; flooding, and subirrigation. The small ditch method is the more common one and where the land slopes gradually and water is available it is probably the best, since the leaves are not wot and the water soaks into the soil rapidly. The sprinkling method is also good for most crops, hut may he the cause i Here's why CAMELS are the quality cigarette TTJ TDCAUSE we put the utmost quality into this one rancl Camels are as good as it's pos- ll skill, money and lifelong knowledge of ne to make a cigarette. Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the 311 best cigarette it's possible to buy.

But there's nothing flashy about it. You'll find no No frills or furbelows. Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons. And rememberyou must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality. If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest cigarette you can one entirely free I from cigarstty aftertaste, It's Camels lor you.

THE LEAVENWOItTH ECHO RYE si; Kit GROWN ON LARGE SCALK. Nearly Kiulil Hundred Acres of Ninety-nine I'ercent I'iirc. Ninety-nine percent pure, to variety is the seed given to 780 ncres of Rosen rye in Franklin couhtyty. by extension crop specialist Leonard Hegnauer of the state Co'lege.

Two year- ago Itoson rye was not known in the county, but as a resuit of variety tests made by the extension service and the county agent, today there are 2470 acres of this i king grown for seed alone. Certified seed must be ninety-nim i percent pure as to variety. This means that there must be no I tures of other varieties of rye, wheat jor other grains, must also be fri I firm weeds, and the germination must be 00 percent or over. Where I tl ese conditions prevail, blue tags arc issued by the state College of Washington, extension service, certifying to the conditions and the seed is listi as "certified seed." Where the geed test varieties is 95 per cent, then a red will In' given to designate 't "improved seed." In raising this crop for seed purroses, it is difficult to keep the -eel pure, for there no other common field crop that mixes as readily as rye. The pollen is carried by the wind froi one field to another and the resulting seed is mixed.

Fields of different varieties should not be closer than ha! a mile apart, an 1 a mile or over is much safer. In Michigan where this rye was developed, they fo'ind it necessary to sow the rye for certified seed on ai isolated island where but one variety is grown in order to keep the seed clean and pure.
