OF course if you own a car you
are going to get all the fun
you can out of it . this sum
mer by taking week-end or longer
motor camping trips. Maybe you
are planning to spend your .vaca
tion that way. ; If you are, there
are a lot of do's and a lot of don't's
to the program. But food seems
to be the main consideration, espe
cially u you are going into Hie
Balanced Diet
When motoring you will prob
ably want to eat your heavy meat
in thevmiddle of the day, as. one

Supplies Needed
Firsf of 'all 'you will need a fold
ing camp stove and a few cooking
out for the balanced diet. Toma
to soup, baked beans and pork, or
creamed chicken, or Welsh rare
bit, with salad, bread and butter,
utensils. Then you will need a suf-, and coffee, will give the bal-
hcient stock of ready, prepared foods ancea ai. canned asparagus may
to last the trip, with the addition be most successfully used for salad,
of such fresh foods as vou mav J For supper you can get a well bal-
pick up enroute, like green corn, I anced meal out of sandwiches of
various Kinas supplied trom canned
foods, especially if you mix them
with cheese. You can secure ex-
melons and such meats as do not
Come in cans.

t three meals a day. Cheese is all
important, and practically every
Kinc ;
.comes in cans, so tnat vou
no trouble keeping it from harden
ing or getting strong. Cheese,
bread and fruit or salad will give
one a well balanced meal. So don't
forget tht cheese.
Coffee is another staple that j-ott
, should buy in cans because, it will
keep better and be unaffected by
moisture if packed that way. rAnd
coffee suggests milk which you can
conveniently carry in either the
evaporated- or the" powdered form.
, Again coffee suggests breakfast,
. and breakfa-t mcgesfs grapefruit
which you,, can carry in cars ready
to fcrve, '
buy.

, Statistics tell us that 2,000,000
people wenf motor camping in the
United States -last year, and this
Vear promifes to double that num
ber. Remember this when you go
camping, anc? don't forget to clean
no after your nartv.' Think what
Jt wo::ld mean if 4,000,000 left their
various camping grounds,' many of
which are used 100 or more times
in a season, littered with papers and
rubbish and garbagel Fortunately,
comparatively few . motor parties
are careless, or all our streams
would be polluted and our camping
grounds just one rubbish heap after"
another, but whatever else you do
on your camping trip, see to it that
you vare not numbered among the
careless. ,
Clean Up Camp
Where food is carried in cans,
the containers, themselves, may be
used to hold refuse bits of food till
they can be' buried if there is no
place provided for them. Papers
can, of course, be burned, only great
care must be taken that you do
not set the forest on fire. It is
best to dig a hole for this purpose,
and surround it with a low wall of
stones. .Then the cans and otfyer
refuse ca'n be burned at the same
time, and remnants buried in the
same hole afterward.
Remember in starting off on a
motor "camping trip, half your nen
thusiasm oozes out if vou snnd ton
much time and energy preparing' So
get startd with as jitfle preparation
as possible, and don t start off with
SO much iunk vou have to sit on
one pile1 while another sits on you. :
By taking your food in cans you -will
economize on space, at least,
and vou will reauire less rooking
utensils than if you decide to pur chase
and cook fresh foods -as you
go along. . - t

Lack of information about weather
conditions may result disastrously
for those who enter new regions in
the hope of success with farming op
erations.. The needed Tacts may be
obtained in advance by consulting the
Weather Bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture.. Two in
stances of losses of this kind have re
cently come to the attention of
weather oficials..
-In one case, about 50 families of
emigrants, having a common language-
and social experience, moved
into what was supposed to be a dry
farming -section without: properly
considering the weather records.
That district became prominent dur
ing the next few years, when the
emigrants failed to get crops for
want of rain and were forced to move
at a great loss.
In the other,' the colonization ag&nt
for. a large religious organization was
offered an irrigation project, suppos
edly worth $100,000 at basic1 land
prices, for the sum of $18,000, which
the. company had alreajiy invested in
!
improvements. - i he company , .ex
pected to make the project worth a
million dollars, but failed to finance
it for a very good reason. The weath
er records, .which they had over
looked, contained the answer, and
thd colonization agent turned the of
fer down. The summers are so short
and the nights so cool as to threaten
eVen barlev a'nd flax as regular crops.
