LEGEND REVEALS

t
HOW EASTER GOT ITS EGGS. |
Easter, and what fun! Egg hunts,
fuzzy bunnies, candy chickens, and
colored eggs. How did it all be-
gin? The old German legend tells
us it was just this way, and of
course it happened long ago.
Princess Elizabeth and her little
daughter were living disguised a®
plain village folks in a small town,
with only old Peter to serve them.
Their castle lay in ruins, their lands
were over-run with enemies, and
Tie Prince either dead or imprison-
The Princess spent long days and
wakeful weary nights waiting for
some news of him—some word to
tell her that her homeland was safe
to return to, but none came as
the winter dragged on.
The Princess spent her time in
the cottage, her little daughter by
her side, and tended to their simple
wants herself, but one warm day in
the early Spring the Princess noted
for the first time how wan and pale
the child was. For her sake the
mother tried to smile, and to make
their life a bit more cheery and
happy.
The season advanced rapidly, and
Easter promised to be flowery and
wonderful.
At the thoughts of Easter in her
homeland the Princess saddened
again, but as she thought of the
little cakes they used to make she
smiled and planned to try her hand
at a few for the little daughter's
sake.
Old Peter was hustled off to the
market place to buy eggs, and sur-
prised enough was he at the order,
for up to this time the Princess
had eaten what was brought to her
with no interest whatever in the
food. He said:
“There are no eggs in this coun-
try. I have asked time and again,
time and again for them, but the
vendors laugh at me and think me
crazy. They know bird's eggs, but
they never eat them, and when I
say we eat hen’s eggs they answer,
“Old man, we have thrushes and
magpipes, robin and bluebirds, but
never a hen bird flies in these
parts.”
The Princess was amazed, and
Peter was sent on a long far jour-
ney south, with the order to bring
back hens and roosters and eggs, or
not to come back at all!
Just before Easter the old man
reappeared, carrying big and little
baskets, and big and little hens
and roosters. Elizabeth was de-
the village come to her house early
Easter morning for something new
and wonderful.
Mothers were asked, fathers,
aunts, uncles and cousins, and on
Easter morning you may be sure
they came.
What feast! Omelets, cakes, eggs
cooked in every way possible as-
tonished those present who ate and
ate, and stared at Peter as he walk-
ed about with a large fat biddy-
hen in his arms. What a wonderful
bird it was! :
Then came the colored baskets
for the children, and orders to look
after more eggs to take home with
them. Into the garden they raced,
‘and there under the daffodils and
lilies, the tulips and the dandelions,
were blue and purple and scarlet
eggs. The children shrieked with
glee. They cried.
“But the hen-bird’s eggs were
creamy white. These are all bright
with colors. Who ever brought
these, do you suppose?”
Just then a little brown rabbit
went scurrying across the green
i grass, and the children followed him.
Where he disappeared lay great
mounds of marvelous eggs. All
shouted:
“The bunny! The Easter bunny!”
And nothing could ever make
them believe the rabbit hadn't left
them the eggs.
So as the years go by the pretty
custom is repeated, and on Easter
morning the children delight in won-
derful candy and sugar, paper and
toy eggs, and in some real old-time
happy families there are on the
table good old-fashioned colored
hens’ eggs like those Elizabeth hid
in her garden so many years ago.
If you will save the dry, brown
skins from onions and boil the eggs
to be hard you will obtain beauti-
fully dyed Easter eggs of various
shades of brown, with no taste of
the onion and no danger of poison,
as from some other dyes.

FORM OF SCHEDULE
1930 POPULATION CENSUS.
The questions being asked by the
enumerator in the 1930 census of
population are as follows:
1. Relationship to head of family,
including a statement as to the
homemaker in each family.
2. Whether home is owned or
rented.
3. Value of home, if owned,
monthly rental, if rented.
4. Radio set? (Yes or No.)
5 Does this family live on a
farm? (“Yes” or “No.”)
6. Sex.
7. Color or race.
8. Age at last birthday,
9. Marital condition.
10. Age at first marriage.
married persons only.)
11. Attended school or college
any time since Sept.1, 1927? (“Yes”
or “No.)
12. Whether able to read and
write? (“Yes” or “No.”)
13. Place of birth of person.
(State or country.)
14. Place of birth of person's
father. (State or country.)
15. Place of birth of person's
mother. (State or country.)
16. Mother tongue of
foreign-born person.
or
(For
each
17. Year of immigration to the
United States. (For foreign born
only.)
18. Whether naturalized. (For
foreign born only.)
19. Whether able to speak Eng-
lish. (For foreign born only,)
20. Occupation of each gainful
worker. :
21. Industry in which employed.
22. Whether employer, employee,
or working on own account.
23. Whether actually at work.
(For each person usually employed
but returned as not at work, addi-
tional information will be secured
on a special unemployment schedule.)
24. Whether a veteran of the
United States military or naval
forces; and for each veteran, in
what war or expedition he served.
Among the most important of the
new questions is that calling for the
value of the home if owned, or the
monthly rental if rented. This will
make possible a classification of
families according to economic status,
or perhaps one might say according
to buying power. Such a classifi-
cation is urgently desired by indvid-
uals and firms using the census
figures as a basis for organizing
their selling and advertising cam-
paigns and will serve many other
purposes. The replies to these ques-
tions will be used only as a basis
for classification on the families into
broad groups, and particular pains
will be taken to see that the in-
formation given by any individual
for his home is notin any way made
public.
Another new question is that
which asks for the age at first
marriage. This will serve two pur-
poses, In the second place it will
make possible a tabulation of im-
portant data on the size of families,
such ‘tabulation to be based on the
number of children reported in the
families of women who have been
married a stated number of years.
The question on radio ‘sets will
give a direct answer to the ques-
tion as to how large the potential
radio audience is.
In the classification of gainful
workers according to occupation and
industry it is proposed to put much
greater stress than heretofore on
the returns for industry, and to in-
struct enumerators to pay special
attention to this section of Ihe
schedule.
Women doing housework in their
homes (or supervising such work
done by servants) and carrying the
other responsibilities of the home
will be designated as home-makers.
This designation will be entered in
the family relationship column of
the schedule, rather than in the oc-
cupation column, in erder that those
women who follow a profession or
other gainful occupation in addition
to being home-makers, may be prop-
erly classified in respect to both
lines of activity.
A special schedule for unemploy-
ment will contain a number of ques-
tions designed to separate those not
working into several classes, in-
cluding, besides those absolutely un-
employed those who have a job but
are for the time being on lay-off
without pay, etc.
Provision is again made for class-
ifying the foreign born, which still
form a very important element in
our population, in five different
ways namely, by country of birth;
by mother tongue (which is some-
times a better index of nationality
than is country of birth); by year
of immigration to the United
States; by citizenship (that is]
whether naturalized, having first
papers, or alien); and by ability to
speak English.
The form of the

conferences in which about 40 new
questions suggested and endorsed by
numerous organizations and individ-
uals were carefully considered by

——Rape pasture cows’

—If conditions are favorable,
rape will make a good pasture
crop five weeks after seeding.
—On soils containing sufficient
lime the most productive grazing
crop known today is sweet clover.
—The home gardener may extend
his growing season in the fall by
the use of hotbeds and cold frames.
—By treating their seed carefully
grain growers can save hundreds of
thousands of dollars, which are lost
annually through plant diseases,
—Lime can be spread and disked
in ahead of oats, corn or soy beans,
or it can be applied after the corm

—Sudan grass belongs to the
sorghum family and for that reason
is a hot weather plant. It should
not be seeded till the ground is well
warmed up.
—Prepare for the control of in.
sects by having on hand spraying
and dusting equipment together with
such insecticides as arsenate of
lead, nicotine dust, and nicotine
sulphate.
—Besides conserving moisture and
keeping down weeds, cultivation
tends to break up the harbors of
mice, adds plant food to the soil,
and makes more available the plant
food already in the soil.
—Dairy leaders say that if each
farmer who makes his living from
milking cows would sell just one un-
profitable cow to the butcher the
problem of the dairy industry would
be solved. Another way is to fatten
the cow for slaughter on the farm.
—The market discriminates very
severely against ram lambs and
against lambs that have not been
docked. These operations are sim-
ple and easy if done before the
lambs are three weeks old.
— Cabbage root maggot can be
controlled by corrosive sublimate.
Use one ounce of the powder in
eight gallons of water. Dissolve
the powder first in a little hot wa-
ter. Apply one-half teacupful to
the soil around each plant. Make
the first application soon after the
plants are set and two more at 10-
day intervals. Handle the solution
carefully as it is extremely poison-
ous. :
—On account of its plentiful
growth of root and top, even on
poor soils, sweet clover probably is
the most efficient legume for sup-
plying organic matter and nitrogen.
Some of the best potato growers in
the State use a 2-year rotation of
wheat or oats, in which sweet clover
is sown and then plowed down the
next spring for potatoes.
—Plants from the greenhouse or
hotbed should be sufficiently harden-
