I Time Here To Spray Lawns Now Is the opportune time to be planning to kill broudleii( luwn weeds with a 2.4-U spray. Lawns in (ested w-ith wreds arc very easily sprayed with a knapsack type sprayer. iluw much J.4-D to put on a given area of luwn always presents a problem. 'Hie active inicrrrtiriita or parent acid content of the 2.4-1) product Is the incnsuring slick. The products pul out by the vnrloux muuufuclurera differ, however, when spraying In win. utr (ive-stxths o( an ounce of the active Ingredient or parent acid to 1000 square (ret. The suit (ormulutlons of 2.4-D are less volatile than the ester types and there Is Irss likelihood of Injur ing nearby plants when using a 2.4-D sail. Use enough water wtien spraying to get good coveraire about one giillou of the solution per 1000 square (eel. Follow the manu facturers directions closely. Be sure and keep Ihe 2.4-D from coming tnlo contact with broad leafed plants such as (lowers, shrubs and trees. Spray lawns only when there Is no brerae. so there will be no drift of the muterlal to suscepti ble plants. Clover la also very susceptible to 2.4-D. so lawns that are a mixture of clover and grasses must not be sprayed, unless It la desirable to get rid of the clover. J. L.

Farm Specialists Line Up Plans For The Ideal Home To Get Most Out Of Life IM'M.MAN, Wash., May 13 What are the needs of an Ideal (arm family home and how should It dl( (rr (rom a elly dwrlllng? A group of agrlrultural extension specialists, after a long sludy of Ihe problem, came up with these three basic recommrndullons: 1. Put the front door where It will be used! 2. He sure the housewife's work room gives a view at the barns, the drlvrwuy and the highway, 3. Ilulld rooms around a central hallway; It will (III more needs Ulan the corner drugstore. , The specification are bawd on recognition of the homemuker as a key member of the (arm operating crew. It's recognized that she has to keep a weather eye on the live stock und the poultry as well as on her housework. The central hallway Is designed as a channel to keep the heavy truf fle out of the kitchen and out (rom under the cook's (eel. Say the specialists: "It will make housework easier by catching and holding most of the dirt that's tracked Into the house. It can provide most o( the home's miscellaneous storage space. Rooms remain rooms. Instead o( passage ways." The Washington Htale college specialists are conducting a series of extension (arm housing workshops around the atate to promote more prarllral and e((lrlent rural homes by sound baals planning. Another purpose la to (ocus the attention o( all home planners or builders on Uie aperltic (arm house problems. i One of the workshop panel mem j bers, II. K. Wiclicrs, extension spe cialist In rural architecture, says i the point about a (rout door that will ; get used often brings a laugh (rom I workhouse participants. But. he ! says, they are reminded to make a ' meulul survey o( (arm homes they know with Iront doors that really ' are used. Heavy Traffic ' When (rout doors are placed In i the center of the (rout, a la town homes he says, there's rarely a walk leading to the door or a palh through i the gritss. More often than not, the kitchen door gets the heavy traffic and often during the housewlfe'a busiest kitchen hours. I The recommendation it to put the front door on Ihe driveway Instead 1 of (acing the highway. To discour- . ag kitchrn entry, its doorway is shifted around to the bark where it is a convenient approach only (rom Ihe barn area. Another important consideration Estimate Of Wheat Crop Shows Drop WASHINGTON, May 13 oTV-The agriculture deportment Monday (orecast this year's winter wheat crop at 845.4K4.WW bushels. This Is a decrease of 14,516.000 bushels (rom the 8oO,OOU,000 bushels (orecast a month ago. It compares with last year's crop of 1.067 70.000 bushels and with W8.6O0.O00 (or the ten year (11138-48) average. No (orecast was given (or spring wheat, but If the latter should equal the 272.000,000 bushels which the department says 1 possible on basis of farmers' planting plans, the total wheat crop would be above 1,117, 000,000 bushels. Such a total crop would compare with last year's record ol 1.360I9.- 000 and with the ten year average 01 890.306.000. I U the prevailing wind direction. It is much more pleasant, as any (arm (amlly will agree, to set the house where the wind blows (rom it to the barn area. Instead o( (rom the barn.
