Better Biscuit Contest.
As a part of the girl's cooking program
in home demonstration work, a
being put on this year. It is most
K^Jnop nut on this vear. It is most
meouraging to note the keen interest
and enthusiasm that the girls are
showing, already about J800 girls have
entered, and three of the counties have
net been heard from due to the fact
that the agents have just gone into
these counties.
The contest will first be a county
affair, then district and finally state.
There will be one girl chosen from
each county as the county winner.
The choice will be based upon record;
interest and merit. The district contest,
there being three, will be made
up of county winners, and the state
contest will be three, one from each
district.
When the contest closes this fall,
a is to be hoped that the rural girls
will be excellent biscuit makers. This
contest will be followed next year,
with a state-wide yeast bread contest.
The Woman's Work Shop.
In estimating the time spent in performing
the daily tasks in the home,
cleaning, cooking, serving meals,
laundry work, etc., we find that about
70ft of the house keepers time is
spent in the kitchen. Usually the)
kitchen is the least desirable room in
the house and is responsible to a large
extent for the attitude that women
have toward their work. A convenient,
well regulated kitchen will do
much to insure the comfort of the
family and should receive first con-J
sideration in planning the house.
The kitchen is the woman's workshop
and it has been truthfully said
"A smiling kitchen makes a happy
cook".
At the present time most house
wives are forced to do their work,
hence the necessity of a better arranged
and equipped kitchen. The
kitchen of today should be convenient
well lighted and well ventilated, easy
to keep clean, comfortable and attractive.
The windows should be
planned to give plenty of air, and yet

The kitchen should be planned so

stove and work table should be as
