Good Windbreaks
Cut Fuel Bills
Champaign, 111. (U.P.) A Uni
versity of Illinois forestry spe
cialist says good windbreaks can
cut farm fuel bills by 20 to 30
per cent.
"What's more," said University
of Illinois assistant extension for
ester 'Harold Scholten, "cattle
protected by windbreaks gained
30 per cent more than unprotect
ed cattle on the same ration
during recent tests."
The tests on cattle were con
ducted in Montana. The fuel tests
were staged in Montana and
South Dakota.
"Balled and burlaped trees give
best results in starting wind
breaks," Scholton said. "Norway
spruce and Douglas fir varieties
are best for the Illinois area."
Scholten emphasized the im
portance of using a good mulch
aroundthe trees to hold soil mois
ture and keep down weeds.
"Ground corn cobs are best,"
he explained, "although sawdust
and straw also are satisfactory."
Scholten pointed out that
windbreak is no substitute for a
good fense.
"Even with full-grown trees,
a good fense around the wind
breaks is essential to keep live
stock from breaking lower
branches and injuring the trees'
roots," he explained.

Research Helping
Air Force in High
Altitude Bombing
Buffalo, N.Y. :U.R) Research
at Cornell Aeronautical Labora
tory, Inc., is providing the Air
Force with valuable information
concerning the dropping of
bombs from planes flying at
high speeds.
Bomb behavior when the mis
sile enters the turbulent air
flowing past the plane must be
known to insure accuracy - of
drops. Once the bomb leaves
the turbulent air region, it is
simple to predict its trajectory
in the relatively calm air furth
er below the aircraft.
Engineer Wilbert Schwartzap
fel recently pointed out the
unique testing technique . de
veloped by CAL for its bomb
drop program, begun in 1952 for
the Air Force.
Wind V,nnel tests made with
scale model bombs released from
a B-47 medium bomber model
were compared with actual B-47
bomb drops. Camera recordings
of the tunnel tests showed that
'dropping of the scale model
bombs in the swift air stream
successfully simulated actual
bomb drop performance.
Safa and Economical
The wind tunnel technique
has resulted in a number of ad
vantages. The laboratory is able
to forecast the bomb drop char
acteristics of a new bomber
even before it is built, eliminat
ing delays encountered while
actual bomb drop tests were
conducted with the aircraft it
self. This research also has elimi
nated the necessity of exposing
personnel and valuable aircraft
to the hazards of actual bomb
drop testing. From an economi
cal standpoint, numerous tests
can be performed quickly in a
wind tunnel at relatively low
cost. '
Successful tests, including
simulated bomb drops from in
ternal bomb bays of big bomb
ers and from the wing racks
of fighter-bombers, have been
performed at up to speed-of-sound
wind velocities. ' j
At present, the CAL Studies
are concerned with the bomb
drop characteristics of more ad
vanced aircraft with their much
higher speeds.
Chicken Lays Dozen
Eggs Worth $115
East Aurora, N. Y. (U.PJ
It's a pretty valuable chicken
that can lay a dozen eggs worth
$115.
But Ralph Mosely of East Au
rora voiced the top bid for the
prize dozen produced by Nel
son Graves Holland poultry
man. That's $9.58 per egg and
may set a record for the price
of hen fruit.
The unusual purchase took
place at the Erie County Farm
and Home Center here in con
nection with the annual pbultry
school and egg show of the Ex
tension service.
Mosely, who also walked off
with last year's "prize 12," val
ued at "only" S52.50 a dozen,
gift wrapped each egg separate
ly and presented them to coun
try weekly newspaper editors
with the greeting card, "Happy

Miniature Vessels
Saugatuck, Mich. (U.R) Ab
bot Davis has a miniature fleet
of most of the lake vessels that
sailed from this harbor in the
1860's and 1870's.
Davis has recreated accurate
replicas on a one-millimeter to
one-foot scale.
A model of the O. R. Johnson
flagship of the Saugatuck sail
ing fleet is 142 millimeters
long, about the length of a man's
forefinger.
The models' lifeboats about
the thickness of a wood match
are equipped with seats, oars and

Food Superstitions
Cited by Professor
Los Aneeles (U.R) If von be
lieve any of the following, you
are wrong:
That you can lose weight by
not drinking water.
That aluminum cooking pots
cause cancer. ...
That fish is brainfood.
That milk causes mucous.
That skim milk has all its food
value removed.
Dr. Cora Miller, assistant nro-
fessor of foods and nutrition at
the University Of California,
cited the above as just some of
the surierstitions still common
about food. Her answers to these
are:
Water has weieht but it cer
tainly cannot form tissue of any
kind and therefore, cannot be fat
tening.
Aluminum pots have no con
nection with cancer.
Fish is good for you but it
won't help your brain. Probably
the belief started because fish
does contain iodine which is nec
essary for your thyroid gland,
but so do a lot of other foods.
Milk does not produce mucous
although it does give the sensa
tion of a film like that experi
enced in phlegm formation dur
ing a cold.
Skim milk contains all tne nu
trients of the original milk ex
cept the fat and fat-soluble sub
stances.
Tax Collectors
Lose Lucrative Pay
T,-4(cV,,,rBh (U.R) Two Pitts
burgh area tax collectors, whose
earnings have oeen me envy w
many a successful Dusmess w
professional man, were thrown
for a loss recently.
The collectors, wno naa dct"
working on a commission basis,
were placed on flat salaries. The
action came after it was disclosed
by the county cierK oi cour
that district collectors earned
more than half a million dollars
last year.
In nearby Penn Township,
where collector Albert P. Dible's
earnings were just shy or J"."""
in 1956, commissioners set a sal
ary of about $14,000.
Stowe Township's collector
will, earn a maximum of $7,500
annually between 1958 and 1962.
The Stowe tax collector earned
,v,,r 13 nno in 1956. with de
clared expenses of about $7,000.
Of AUegheny County's 125
boroughs and townships, collect
ors are paid on a commission. ba

Costs May Price
Homes Out of Range
Chicago (U.R) The continued
rise of labor costs in home con
struction may soon price home-
owning out of range of the aver
age working man,, according to
two building experts at Armour
Research Foundation of the Illi
nois Institute of Technology.
"When the average working
man can no longer afford to buy
a home." said Alexander Pudu-
lidy, "the construction industry
will be in a desperate situation."
Pupulidy pointed, out that 20
years ago materials .made up
about 60 per cent of the cost of a
house and 40 per cent went for
labor. ,
Today, he said, the situation
has been reversed and labor ac
counts for the 60 per cent.
S. A. Bortz, a fellow engineer,
said one result of the rising la
bor cost will be more factory-
built, mass-produced housing.
Bortz said that eventually the
majority of homes may -be put
together in units such as ready
wired wall panels that can be
locked quickly together on the
site of the house urfder construc
tion. Both men agreed there would
have to be wide revision of build
ing codes to take into account
the use of new materials which
factory construction methods
would allow.
