E. GROSS (A gricu ltu re i i i i t e n . N t* ftraey C t l l t g t a* A griculture. R utgers U a tr tr s itg .) Use poison bait, fumigate, set traps or keep a good rat dog—but be sure to do something to protect your farm from the rat menace. Rats multiply so rapidly that fre quent attention to the problem is necessary all the time, and especial ly now when farm efficiency is play ing an important part in the nations Food for Freedom program. Keep the farmstead free from all piles of waste material or supplies stacked in such a way as to offer shelter and feed for rats. This is the first and most urgent measure. Supplies should be kept in rat-proof buildings or in stacks located away from buildings. Waste should be re moved or destroyed. Leave No Holes or Cracks. Repair foundations, floors and sills of buildings, leaving no holes or large cracks offering a start for gnawing. Foundations must be in tact to a depth of two feet below ground level. Sheet metal or wire screen tacked over holes or ^cracks and to the edges of doors are a sure stop. Wood walls are rat-proofed by covering with half-inch mesh wire screen to a height of four feet above the ground and placing a smooth strip of galvanized metal above the wire mesh. Rats can burrow through decayed, crumbly concrete or even sound new concrete while it is still soft and moist. Everlasting diligence is re quired. Suggestions on Plows Be ore using a new plow, engi neers suggest that the farmer me isure the down suction and lar d suction of the share, and make a record of the measure ments. Later, when the share needs sharpening, it can be giv en the same degree of suction. A wobbly rolling colter in creases draft and makes a rag ged plowing i job. Hence col- • * te r b earin g s should be ad justed snugly to run true and vertical but f re e ly , r e placed if bad ly worn.. Generally colters are set to cut one-half to one inch wid er than the share, and the width of two fingers above it. Best position for the jointer on a plow is just far enough behind the colter hub to prevent dirt and trash wedging against it and low enough to cut a three-cornered ribbon of soil about 4 inches wide and usually not more than 2% inches deep. Farm engineers say when a jointer is used without a rolling colter, its point should be set approximately over the point of the share, the same as when a disc jointer is used. Normal Loss Shell Eggs Shipped to Isle Getting There OK Shell eggs, produced on United States farms, are getting to Great Britain with losses in transit amounting to no more than normal losses in domestic shipping, says G. T. Klein, extension poultryman at Massachusetts State college. This was indicated by a recent report to the British house of com mons by Major Lloyd-George, un dersecretary to the minister of foods, in which he stated losses amount to no more than 5.3 per cent. These losses, says Mr. Klein, are largely due to spoilage and break age and compare favorably with nor mal losses in shell eggs shipped from producing areas to consumers throughout the United States. This should be good news to the American poultryman who has wanted to know whether his eggs were reaching Great Britain without severe loss and in condition to be of use to the English people. Ship ment of eggs under the Lend-Lease act has enabled the British govern ment to increase allotments to stores and thus supply consumers with a greater number than they have had previously through the ra tioning system. Farm Notes Trailers and dormitories to be made available for temporary war housing by the Farm Security ad ministration under a recent presi dential allocation of $13,000,000 will provide 12,269 dwelling units for workers in 24 war-industry areas, the U. S. department of agriculture says. Housing facilities in these areas are expected to be ready for occupancy early in March. z IF fUaa 1 raqulrae Mk yard» 31 or MJnch m alarial for anaembla. 3 yard * blaa braid for frock and bonnat.

Tuo a pint of blood for the G IVING army and n9vy is a new form of patriotism in which thousands of loyal Americans are now par ticipating. . This blood, processed into life saving Plasma for emergency transfusions, is collected from vol unteer blood donors at 18 Red Cross Blood Donor centers. The program was launched In February. 1941. following a request by the surgeons gen eral of the army and navy that the Red Cross provide 15,000 pints of blood to be processed into dried plasma. This pro gram has now been expanded at the request of thè army and navy to the point where over one million donors will be re quired. Eighteen centers have been opened, and donations are pouring in at the rate of approximately 60,000 a month. Giving blood is a simple proc ess, requires but a few minutes time on the part ot the donor, and has no after effects. The blood is shipped daily in refrigerated containers to the laboratories, where it is processed into dried plasma, a light, straw colored powder that can be kept indefinite ly and transported easily. Numerous cases have been reported where plasma saved the lives of American soldiers and sailors suffering from burns and traumatic shock, and Red Cross plasma has been distributed to our armed forces operating in the Atlantic and Pacific war theaters. How ever, thousands of additional donors are needed to supply the full requirements for the army and navy, and to provide plasma for any civilian emer gencies which may result from enemy action in this country. Red Cross Blood Donor centers are located in New York, Phila delphia, Baltimore, Buffalo, Roch ester, N. Y., Indianapolis, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Boston, Mil waukee, Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, and Washington, D. C. (Prepared exclusively for W N U .) J.

They may be used as stock in soup or may be boiled with turnips, carrots, or cauliflow er. Remove them from the pan before serving.

Boil corn 10 minutes, drain and serve imme diately tucked in the folds of a napkin. Never let com stand in water after it is done; that would impair the flavor and texture. • * • Colorless lacquer can help you cut down a lot of cleaning on large ornate pieces of silver used only for decoration. Thoroughly clean, polish, wash and dry the silver, then cover it with a thin coat of lacquer. When the lacquer begins to wear off, remove all of it by rubbing with a cloth dipped in de natured alcohol. Wash in warm water and soapsuds and polish again, then repeat the lacquer treatment. • • • Take especially good care of pots and pans now that metal is needed for war industries. Often old ones can be repaired. Heat them slowly and do not use too hot a fire, thereby reducing the strain on the metal and amount of heat used.

One moonlight night, he spoke. “Valerie, w-will you-you m-mar- ry me?” he stuttered, hardly dar ing to hope she had heard him. “You bet!” she replied, briskly, already deciding on white satin and four bridesmaids. “I know, darling.

It's a Dog's Life A certain gentleman went out shooting with a pointer he had borrowed from a friend who was a crack shot. He, being a poor shot, missed again and again, the pointer each time looking at him in bewilderment. Finally the dog set a pheasant in an open field, and glanced back at the man as much as to say: “Now, here’s a perfectly good shot. See if you can do anything this time." The pheasant rose and flew off; the man missed. The pointer sat down, raised his nose high and howled long and dolorously. Then, with never another look at the amateur huntsman, he turned and trotted home.—S. A. Derieux in “Animal Personalities.” / UMITED t,m£ HUK#; at TOILET goods counters .. Uh» a rtiw rradMta Carp .
