m.ed;
THURSDAY-7:00 y.m.
Washington (U.B I used to
think that the editors of the Oid
Farmer's Almanac spit on a fin
ger, looked at
the sky and
told us what
the wea t h e r
would be for
the next year.
But since I
have been
stud ying the
book for a
number of
years, I have
concluded that the forecasting
is pretty accurate.
The almanac it in its 185th
year, and being more accurate
than the political poofs for that
long a time is a secret. which the
editors should hang onto.
Science, of course, is about to
investigate, but the plain facts
are that the almanac is out to
day. And I am in a position to
tell you what is forthcoming, not
by' states but generally speaking.
Around the holidays and
week ends a flock of storms will
rise,' and the red line on the
thermometer will run down a
little. A bunch of snow, too. . .
The almanac that used to hang
in Granny's kitchen beside the
pump says there will be rain
and. sleet in January, and fluffy
snow. Easterly gales in Febru
ary and winds in March.
. April will be foggy and warm
er than last year. May will be
cool, and June will turn up cold
and misty. .
Cold rains will come down In
a lot of area's .in July, and August-will
turn hot and cool '-by
turns.
. What I like most about the
old almanac is the advertise
ments. Something .to cure the
misery under the. false teeth. A
salve for aching muscles, and
seeds that are sure to get you
better rutabagas and tomatoes
and turnips.
And right under' fhe .ads for
seeds is a complete list by states
on which dates the "killing
frosts" will come," and beware;
. Nancy Dixon has a cute little
section in which she gives her.
recipes for fixing mushrooms.
Stuffed, "stuffed a la Vincent,"
and plain old baked. I wish I
had the space and time to run
out the string on the bow-to-do.
There is no end to the amount
of knowledge a man can pick ,
up m the little old book that has
been-around so long.
Things like a section on "home
tips."
.A note from Grandma's house
keeping book:' .
"Old soap lasts much longer
than fresh soap so buy your
family supply weil in advance.
Remove wrappers and place in
linen closet to dry.".
Also under the tips for the
home .i this one:
"To sharpen your household
scissor cut through fine sand
paper." There one other thing,
wfilch comes under the general j
heading of "corn planting rule,"
This one is supposed to have
come up in 1833, and was an
answer to a farmer to the ques
tion of how many kernels he put
in a corn hill. Said the farmer:
"One for the bluebird,
"One for the crow,
"One for the cut-worm
"And two to grow."
Nobel Chemistry

Prof. Cyril Norman Hinshel-

jointly awarded today the 1956
Nobel Prize for chemistry.
The Swedish Royal Academy
of Sciences said Hinshelwood
59, and Semenov, 80, would each
receive half of the S38.000 prize
"for their researches into the
mechanism ot chemical reac

Semenov ia the first Russian

Beaver Farm Thrives
On Whidby Island
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) What
is believed to be the first mod
em beaver farm on the Pacific
coast is thriving ' on Whidby
Island in Puget Sound.
The business was launched
about a year ago by Walter E
Weston, a former restaurant op
erator who transplanted breed
ing pairs from a parent farm in
Kaysville. Utah.
The recent birth of three bea
ver kits, the first ever born to
domesticated beaver in this state,
increased the- farm's population
to 68. . - I
According to Weston, his farm
is one of only 12 privately owned
beaver businesses in the world
The industry is so new that
no domestic beavers have been
used -for pelting. But Weston
figures pelts will be worth as
much as SI 00.
