The pllttle plant Is delicate. If the liquid which you use Is hot, the yeast will be killed. If It Is cold, the yeast will not grow. So the right temperature, which Is about lukewarm. Is very Im- portant to get. That yeast does not grow when It Is cold, we make use of In the Ice box rolls which are nice for sum- mertime cooking. Many women, In their endeavor to have the dough warm enough, have It too warm, and this causes bread of coarse texture, grey color and often bad flavor. A room which Is comfortable for you to sit In will be comfortable for the yeast. And while we are talking about yeast, we must explain the two kinds of yeast, The compressed yeast Is my favorite, be- cause It Is not necessary to be long about making bread. It Is fresh and active, the yeast cells are fairly bursting to grow, and as soon as they are un- wrapt from their tin foil prison, are given air, food, moisture and warmth, they become very lively and Increase pldly. However, one Is not always able to get fresh compressed yeast, and It must be fresh. The dry yeast, then, can well be used. But more time must be allowed since the yeast plant Is not active, but Is In spore state, rather like seeds, and must be awakened before It Is ready to grow luxuriantly. Therefore, with the dry yeast, we must make a sponge the night before. The next morning, we may mix the dough stiff and proceed exactly as for the compressed yeast. Let's Mix Together Suppose now, that we are mixing bread dough together. We have dissolved the yeast In the liquid which Is lukewarm, then we dissolve the sugar and the salt. By the way, we'll not add too much salt, since salt retards the growth of yeast, and should we add too much, well kill the yeast plant entirely, and our bread will be heavy. Then the melted shorten- . ... Ing can be added to the liquid. Next poor bread was like I cannot suggest any well add the flour and perhaps, to your specific remedies, but will tell you what surprise you'll find that you can measure 1 ^out general methods of mixing your flour accurately.

The better flour you use. the less you will need to use of It and thereby good flour is an economy. Since wheat varies In Its protein con- tent, so flour varies In the amount and quality of Its gluten. I would suggest then, that you use a brand of flour which is kitchen-tested," and which Is guaranteed to give uniform results. The Yeast Do you know why good bread Is like the sun? Because It rises In the yeast and sets In the vest! Ranking In Im- portance with the flour, I would place yeast. To realize the fascination of bread making, one must understand that yeast Is a very tiny one-celled plant which grows In the bread dough. It Is alive, and like other plants must have the right conditions In order to grow well. - . First of all the yeast plant must have food. This Is furnished by the starch of the flour and by the sugar which is usually added to bread. Second, the yeast plant needs moisture, supplied by water or milk. Third, yeast must have oxygen of the air, Therefore it is well to sift the flour before using It, and to fold the dour-a as one kneads It. It la better not to grease the top of the dough too heavily as the bread Is rising, since the dough must breathe and of course the dough Is never put Into an air tight can to rise Lastly, yeast requires a certain amount of warmth to grow Its best, which Is about 80 degrees P.

Kuhrt, assistant marketing economist of the division. Representative groups of farmersele- vators have been the subject of study by the bureau since 1924, when 50 farmerselevators In western Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana furnished data for the first year of a five-year study. For the 1926-27 season. South Dakota will Join the other states and the number of elevators to be studied Intensively will be increased to 80, Mr. Kuhrt said. Spe- cific problems of operation of farmerselevators such as costs and margins, hedging, storing, protein content of wheat and Its relation t* premium paid, and Incomes are being studied in the detailed work In the four states. About 35 farmers' elevators scattered over most of North Dakota will be used In the general study. Complete Informa- tion on organization and operating prac- tices and also financial data will be se- cured. In addition, the state experiment station will secure Information for a spe- cial study of sideline operation with par- ticular emphasis on grinding and seed cleaning.

Under the ten- tative plans, complete data will be se- cured from about 15 farmerselevators In the northwestern or spring wheat sec- tion of the state. In addition, data will bi secured by the station for a study of the economic organization of the elevator bu mess. Field work In Minnesota will begin about July l. I nder the general plan, each station will furnish the personnel to secure the field and audit data.

In certain of the more humid flux-growing areas of the country the practice of sowing these two crops to- gether has Increased because of the defi- nite asstirance that per acre returns are greater than when either of the two crops are planted separately. To de- termine whether or not the practice Is a desirable one In Montana, the Montana experiment station has conducted a senes of trials, the results of which are given in a new bulletin, "Flax-Wheat Mixtures Under Irrigation,by Clyde McKee, agronomist. In summing up some of the advantages of growing flax and wheat together Mr. McKee says: There are a few serious ob- jections to growing flax alone which ore largely eliminated when flax Is planted In combination with spring wheat. Farmers who have had experience with flax-wheat mixtures are almost unani- mous In their opinion that the mixed crop can be handled more easily than flax alone. The bundles do not cling to- gether when binding, shocking can be done better, the flax cures more evenly and quickly and the threshing machine handles the mixed crop with much less trouble than flax alone. When flax is sown alone, seeding la In- variably delayed until after all other spring-grown grain crops have been planted. Spring wheat Is normally the first small grain crop to be planted and if flax Is included the mixture Is almost certain to be planted at approximately the normal date for planting wheat. Early planted flax yields more heavily than that planted late, according to ex- periments In the leading flax states. Experience also shows that flax and wheat can be grown on land where flax alone would be practically worthless on account of weeds. The first flax-wheat mixtures grown under irrigation at the Montana experiment station during the past four years have been Injured less by weeds than has flax sown alone. Flax and spring wheat combined In the proper proportions, yielded larger gross returns than were- obtained from either crop sown alone In the experiment station trials. During the four years a mixture of 14 pounds of flax and 30 pounds of wheat per acre gave a gross return of $55.57 per acre as compared with $44.08 from wheat alone. During the three-year period, 1924-26, three dif- ferent combinations of flax and spring wheat gave a relative vield 28 per cent higher than was obtu. aed from wheat alone. Among the objections to flax-wheat mixtures, Mr. McKee lists the following: Flax Is rather sensitive to difference in the water supply. Considerable care must be exercised in Irrigating flax, In order that water may be applied evenly and not In excessive amounts. Uneven irri- gation causes uneven maturity. Flax In the drier portions of the field ripens early, perhaps prematurely, while that which receives an excessive amount of water Is delayed In maturity, sometimes suffering injury from early frost. Other factors being favorable, however, the Judicious use of water on land which may be irrigated evenly will result In good yields of flaxseed of excellent quality. Linseed crushers pay the best prices for flaxseed that Is uniformly mature, there- fore It la Important that the crop be Ir- rigated so that It will grow and ripen evenly. On the experimental plots at Bozeman one Irrigation has beeu suffi- cient. The water was put on Immedi- ately after the irrigation of spring wheat varieties. After threshing It Is necessary to sep- arate the flax from the wheat before mar- keting. This may be done readily at the farm with an ordinary fanning mill prop- erly adjusted or the grower may arrange to have the separating done at the local elevator. In either case, however, the amount of flax is likely to be less than a carload. In localities where this crop Is not Important, local dealers may object to handling such small amounts of flax. Under such conditions It may be neces- sary for the grower to market direct. This may be done (1) by loading a bulk-head" car, part of which Is loaded with flax and the remainder with wheat, or (2) by two or more growers of the mixed crop loading out a car of flax to- gether, A full account of the results of the experiments at Bozeman giving the meth- ods that have proved most satisfactory is contained In the bulletin "Flax-Wheat Mixtures Under Irrigation,copies of which may be obtained without cost from the Montana experiment station, Bozeman. 1 (Copyright 1927) perfect tinting of dainty under- iresses, etc., the easiest wayand Two Kinds of Yeast For wear, c by far the best wayis the use of real dye.

Extension Program Begun Some of the stations co-operating on this subject have already taken steps to develop an extension program for the propose of discussing with local groups of managers and directors the results of the research study. The plan Is to have the research and extension divisions of each station co-operate with the state farmerselevator associations In holding local or district meetings over the state, at which the various phases of analysis, such as costs of operation, variation In protein content of wheat, hedging, stor- age and other subjects will be presented by state research of extension men. The initiative for the calling of local or dis- trict meetings Is being left to the state elevator associations or to the local or district groups already organized. Such a co-ordination of research and extension agencies will permit the pre- sentation of research findings to those whe are vitally Interested In a timely and efficient manner. The discussions led by competent research or extension men should bring home to elevator man- agers and directors the significance of re- search work and also stimulate Interest In the importance of carefully studvlng their elevator business. It is hoped that as a result of this combined research and extension work, the efficiency of farmers' elevators can be Increased to a material extent.

In The Flour M ONTANA fruit growers and farm- ers should be In good spirits even If the growing season Is three weeks late, says Edward Dickey, state horticulturist, when the misfortune that has been caused by cold weather In other parts of the country, particularly in the northwest. Is taken Into considera- tion. It is not believed that the recent cold had any serious effects on orchards In western Montana,says Mr. Dickey. "Po- tatoes are not planted until May Grain crops have been seeded but are not In- jured. The feed crops are held back and some stockmen and ranchers may suffer from lack of forage for the time being. "In the lower Yakima valley 75 per cent of the apple crop was destroyed by the recent frost. The Kennewick fruit crop was wiped out. In the lower Snake valley In Idaho the damage to the cherry, peach and apricot crop reached more than $260,000. In the vicinity of Walla Walla the cherries, prunes and Delicious apples are gone, Wenatchee reports 75 per cent of Its cherry crop and 90 to 100 per cent of Its apple crop frozen, "Western Montana has so far sustained no loss In Its orchards, because uniform- ly cold weather had retarded conditions to the point where the recent frost could not affect the trees. Indications are that the demand for our fruits will be greater than ever.ly, the little yeast plant Is growing on the sugar and starch. As It grows It forms two things, carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. Since the yeast Is distributed all through the dough, there will be gas all through the dough and we have little gas balloons or sacks forming. The elastic gluten of the flour Is forming the walls of the little balloons, and the more gas, the more the balloons expand. If we do not punch the dough down, the balloons will stretch as much as they can and then burst, so when the dough has about doubled In height, we punch It down to distribute the gas and break up the sacks and prevent the gluten losing Its elastic power. Simply punch down the center, fold 'A.

Symptoms Poisoned sheep breathe fast and con- vulsively, froth at the mouth, stagger and reel when moved and finally get down and become unconscious, reaching this stage, very few recover, though they may be In a state of coma for as long as two or three days. Sheep that have eaten only a small amount of the plant may show the preliminary symptoms and then recover, but the amount of the plant necessary to kill a sheep Is quite small, and most cases of poisoning result fatally. There Is no medical br other treatment known that will save sheep poisoned with death camas. Pastures heavily Infested with the plant should be avoided during the early spring, or at least until the plant reaches the blossoming stage. Such pastures are very dangerous, even though grass Is plentiful, but more dangerous If overgrazed. No definite dates can be stated for the period ’"hen death camas may be dan- gerous io sheep.

little cool to your hand, although that depends on how warm-handed you are.The pllttle plant Is delicate. If the liquid which you use Is hot, the yeast will be killed. If It Is cold, the yeast will not grow. So the right temperature, which Is about lukewarm. Is very Im­portant to get. That yeast does not grow when It Is cold, we make use of In the Ice box rolls which are nice for sum­mertime cooking.

Many women, In their endeavor to have the dough warm enough, have It too warm, and this causes bread of coarse texture, grey color and often bad flavor. A room which Is comfortable for you to sit In will be comfortable for the yeast.

And while we are talking about yeast, we must explain the two kinds of yeast,The compressed yeast Is my favorite, be­cause It Is not necessary to be long about making bread. It Is fresh and active, the yeast cells are fairly bursting to grow, and as soon as they are un- wrapt from their tin foil prison, are given air, food, moisture and warmth, they become very lively and Increase

pldly.However, one Is not always able to get

fresh compressed yeast, and It must be fresh. The dry yeast, then, can well be used. But more time must be allowed since the yeast plant Is not active, but Is In spore state, rather like seeds, and must be awakened before It Is ready to grow luxuriantly. Therefore, with the dry yeast, we must make a sponge the night before. The next morning, we may mix the dough stiff and proceed exactly as for the compressed yeast.

Let's Mix TogetherSuppose now, that we are mixing bread

dough together. We have dissolved the yeast In the liquid which Is lukewarm, then we dissolve the sugar and the salt.By the way, we'll not add too much salt, since salt retards the growth of yeast, and should we add too much, we’ll kill the yeast plant entirely, and our bread will be heavy. Then the melted shorten- . ...Ing can be added to the liquid. Next poor bread was like I cannot suggest any we’ll add the flour and perhaps, to your specific remedies, but will tell you what surprise you'll find that you can measure 1 ^out general methods of mixing your flour accurately.

Since wheat varies In Its protein con­tent, so flour varies In the amount and quality of Its gluten. I would suggest then, that you use a brand of flour which is “kitchen-tested," and which Is guaranteed to give uniform results.

The YeastDo you know why good bread Is like

the sun? Because It rises In the yeast and sets In the vest! Ranking In Im­portance with the flour, I would place yeast. To realize the fascination of bread making, one must understand that yeast Is a very tiny one-celled plant which grows In the bread dough. It Is alive, and like other plants must have the right conditions In order to grow well. - .

First of all the yeast plant must have food. This Is furnished by the starch of the flour and by the sugar which is usually added to bread. Second, the yeast plant needs moisture, supplied by water or milk. Third, yeast must have oxygen of the air, Therefore it is well to sift the flour before using It, and to fold the dour-a as one kneads It. It la better not to grease the top of the dough too heavily as the bread Is rising, since the dough must breathe and of course the dough Is never put Into an air tight can to rise

Federal Survey Farmers’ Elevator Operations Is Pian of Co-Operative Marketing Division

Questionnaires soon to be sent to operators of farmers’ grain elevators by the dlrUdon Of co-operative marketing of the bureau of agricultural econom­ics will form the basis for the first na­tion-wide survey of general operating met hods .uni practices, o mutilation methods, volume of business In 1926-27 and the general financial conditions of associations, according to a statement Just made by \\. -I. Kuhrt, assistant marketing economist of the division.Representative groups of farmers’ ele­

vators have been the subject of study by the bureau since 1924, when 50 farmers’ elevators In western Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana furnished data for the first year of a five-year study. For the 1926-27 season. South Dakota will Join the other states and the number of elevators to be studied Intensively will be increased to 80, Mr. Kuhrt said. Spe­cific problems of operation of farmers’ elevators such as costs and margins, hedging, storing, protein content of wheat and Its relation t* premium paid, and Incomes are being studied in the detailed work In the four states.

About 35 farmers' elevators scattered over most of North Dakota will be used In the general study. Complete Informa­tion on organization and operating prac­tices and also financial data will be se­cured. In addition, the state experiment station will secure Information for a spe­cial study of sideline operation with par­ticular emphasis on grinding and seed cleaning.

I lbne~SavingWayI ofUnting

(From .Montana State College)S IT desirable to sow flax and wheat together on Irrigated land In Mon­tana? In certain of the more humid flux-growing areas of the country the

practice of sowing these two crops to­gether has Increased because of the defi­nite asstirance that per acre returns are greater than when either of the two crops are planted separately. To de­termine whether or not the practice Is a desirable one In Montana, the Montana experiment station has conducted a senes of trials, the results of which are given in a new bulletin, "Flax-Wheat Mixtures Under Irrigation,” by Clyde McKee, agronomist.

In summing up some of the advantages of growing flax and wheat together Mr. McKee says: There are a few serious ob­jections to growing flax alone which ore largely eliminated when flax Is planted In combination with spring wheat.

Farmers who have had experience with flax-wheat mixtures are almost unani­mous In their opinion that the mixed crop can be handled more easily than flax alone. The bundles do not cling to­gether when binding, shocking can be done better, the flax cures more evenly and quickly and the threshing machine handles the mixed crop with much less trouble than flax alone.

When flax is sown alone, seeding la In­variably delayed until after all other spring-grown grain crops have been planted. Spring wheat Is normally the first small grain crop to be planted and if flax Is included the mixture Is almost certain to be planted at approximately the normal date for planting wheat. Early planted flax yields more heavily than that planted late, according to ex­periments In the leading flax states.

Experience also shows that flax and wheat can be grown on land where flax alone would be practically worthless on account of weeds. The first flax-wheat mixtures grown under irrigation at the Montana experiment station during the past four years have been Injured less by weeds than has flax sown alone.

Flax and spring wheat combined In the proper proportions, yielded larger gross returns than were- obtained from either crop sown alone In the experiment station trials. During the four years a mixture of 14 pounds of flax and 30 pounds of wheat per acre gave a gross return of $55.57 per acre as compared with $44.08 from wheat alone. During the three-year period, 1924-26, three dif­ferent combinations of flax and spring wheat gave a relative vield 28 per cent higher than was obtu. aed from wheat alone.

Among the objections to flax-wheat mixtures, Mr. McKee lists the following: Flax Is rather sensitive to difference in the water supply. Considerable care must be exercised in Irrigating flax, In order that water may be applied evenly and not In excessive amounts. Uneven irri­gation causes uneven maturity. Flax In the drier portions of the field ripens early, perhaps prematurely, while that which receives an excessive amount of water Is delayed In maturity, sometimes suffering injury from early frost. Other factors being favorable, however, the

Judicious use of water on land which may be irrigated evenly will result In good yields of flaxseed of excellent quality. Linseed crushers pay the best prices for flaxseed that Is uniformly mature, there­fore It la Important that the crop be Ir­rigated so that It will grow and ripen evenly. On the experimental plots at Bozeman one Irrigation has beeu suffi­cient. The water was put on Immedi­ately after the irrigation of spring wheat varieties.

After threshing It Is necessary to sep­arate the flax from the wheat before mar­keting. This may be done readily at the farm with an ordinary fanning mill prop­erly adjusted or the grower may arrange to have the separating done at the local elevator. In either case, however, the amount of flax is likely to be less than a carload. In localities where this crop Is not Important, local dealers may object to handling such small amounts of flax. Under such conditions It may be neces­sary for the grower to market direct. This may be done (1) by loading a “bulk-head" car, part of which Is loaded with flax and the remainder with wheat, or (2) by two or more growers of the mixed crop loading out a car of flax to­gether,

A full account of the results of the experiments at Bozeman giving the meth­ods that have proved most satisfactory is contained In the bulletin "Flax-Wheat Mixtures Under Irrigation,” copies of which may be obtained without cost from the Montana experiment station, Bozeman.

Extension Program BegunSome of the stations co-operating on

this subject have already taken steps to develop an extension program for the propose of discussing with local groups of managers and directors the results of the research study. The plan Is to have the research and extension divisions of each station co-operate with the state farmers’ elevator associations In holding local or district meetings over the state, at which the various phases of analysis, such as costs of operation, variation In protein content of wheat, hedging, stor­age and other subjects will be presented by state research of extension men. The initiative for the calling of local or dis­trict meetings Is being left to the state elevator associations or to the local or district groups already organized.

Such a co-ordination of research and extension agencies will permit the pre­sentation of research findings to those whe are vitally Interested In a timely and efficient manner. The discussions led by competent research or extension men should bring home to elevator man­agers and directors the significance of re­search work and also stimulate Interest In the importance of carefully studvlng their elevator business. It is hoped that as a result of this combined research and extension work, the efficiency of farmers' elevators can be Increased to a material extent.

MONT ANA fruit growers and farm­ers should be In good spirits even If the growing season Is three weeks late, says Edward Dickey,

state horticulturist, when the misfortune that has been caused by cold weather In other parts of the country, particularly in the northwest. Is taken Into considera­tion.

“It is not believed that the recent cold had any serious effects on orchards In western Montana,” says Mr. Dickey. "Po­tatoes are not planted until May Grain crops have been seeded but are not In­jured. The feed crops are held back and some stockmen and ranchers may suffer from lack of forage for the time being.

"In the lower Yakima valley 75 per cent of the apple crop was destroyed by the recent frost. The Kennewick fruit crop was wiped out. In the lower Snake valley In Idaho the damage to the cherry, peach and apricot crop reached more than $260,000. In the vicinity of Walla Walla the cherries, prunes and Delicious apples are gone, Wenatchee reports 75 per cent of Its cherry crop and 90 to 100 per cent of Its apple crop frozen,

"Western Montana has so far sustained no loss In Its orchards, because uniform­ly cold weather had retarded conditions to the point where the recent frost could not affect the trees. Indications are that the demand for our fruits will be greater than ever.”

ly, the little yeast plant Is growing on the sugar and starch. As It grows It forms two things, carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. Since the yeast Is distributed all through the dough, there will be gas all through the dough and we have little gas balloons or sacks forming. The elastic gluten of the flour Is forming the walls of the little balloons, and the more gas, the more the balloons expand. If we do not punch the dough down, the balloons will stretch as much as they can and then burst, so when the dough has about doubled In height, we punch It down to distribute the gas and break up the sacks and prevent the gluten losing Its elastic power.

JEANETTE BEYER.Hex Flour Bread Recipe

(To be set In the morning)Use less flour than la called for in your

usual recipes because Rex flour Is strong In gluten and will absorb water or milk readily, giving volume with less flour.

Eleven cups (2% lbs.) Rex flour, 1 level tablespoon salt, 2 tablespoons short­ening, 1 qt. water, 2 cakes compressed yeast, 2 level tablespoons sugar.

Dissolve yeast, sugar and salt In luke­warm water (or y2 milk and y2 water). Gradually stir In the flour and then work In the shortening. Knead until the dough Is smooth. Allow to rise until light (about l*/2 hours). Punch or knead down and allow to rise until light (about 25 min). Mold Into loaves, place In pans. Allow to rise to double Its size, then bake.

TO BAKE. Entire time of baking one hour. Hot oven, or 425 degrees F., for the flrst fifteen minutes, lowering to moderately hot oven, or 375 degrees P„ to finish the baking. Size of pans, 4x8- Inch loaf tins. Amount, three 1 >/2 pound loaves.

Bread Is done when It leaves the sides of the pan. Remove from pans and brush over with melted butter If you wish a soft crust.

A shallow pan of water placed In the oven under the loaves causes the loaves to rise better and produces a more ten­der crust.

Sponge Method for Above RecipeSoak one cake of dry yeast In one cup

of lukewarm water. When soft, add re­maining three cups of liquid and the two tablespoons sugar. Stir In five cups Rex flour, bent thoroughly to mix Ingredients and let stand In warm place—about 80 degrees F,—over night. In the morning add salt, shortening and the remaining six cups of flour. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a well greased bowl,

fugh around several times to grease the top. Let rise until

double in bulk—about 1 y2 hours. Punch or knead down and allow to rise again for 25 minutes. Round it and allow to stand for ten minutes. Mold Into loaves, place In pans, and allow to rise to double Its size—about one hour. Bake as above.

Sheep that have eaten only a small amount of the plant may show the preliminary symptoms and then recover, but the amount of the plant necessary to kill a sheep Is quite small, and most cases of poisoning result fatally.

There Is no medical br other treatment known that will save sheep poisoned with death camas. Pastures heavily Infested with the plant should be avoided during the early spring, or at least until the plant reaches the blossoming stage. Such pastures are very dangerous, even though grass Is plentiful, but more dangerous If overgrazed.
