TOWN and FÄRM in WARTIME Prepared by OFFICE OF WAR INFORMATION ADVISES BUYING EXTRA EGGS NOV/ If every housewife will buy an extra dozen eggs now and store them in her refrigerator she can help solve a big storage prob lem now facing the war food ad ministration. At present, WFA says, there are 1,400 carloads of eggs for which no cold storage space can be found. By using their refrigerators, housewives can make it possible to save 25 million dozen eggs. Egg produc tion has begun to decline season ally, and it soon will be possible to handle all supplies in the usual manner.

MINERAL OIL PROTECTS SWEET CORN To protect sweet corn from the earworm, use an inexpensive white mineral oil (medicinal oil), the department of agriculture ad vises. Wait at least three days after the silk first emerges be fore oiling, and not later than seven days. An ordinary glass medicine dropper when Half full of mineral oil is enough for a small ear of corn and about three- fourths full for a large ear. In sert the medicine dropper about a quarter of an inch into the silk mass, just inside the tip of the husk. Since not all silks mature the same day, treated ears may be marked with a crayon or strip of cloth. The oil kills worms in the silk and prevents the entry of others. DISABLED VETERANS TO GET TRAINING Disabled veterans of the pres ent war may apply for job coun seling, vocational training an-l rehabilitation at centers to be established at colleges and uni versities throughout the country, according to the veterans adminis tration and the ofice of war mob ilization. The veterans adminitra- tion will provide, free of charge to eligible disabled veterans, transportation to centers, meals, comfortable quarters, piedical ser vice, aptitude tests to determine veterans abilities, interests and occupations in which they could be succesful, and professional ad vice on vocations and training. The first of the proposed centers will be opened at the co’’ ge of the City of New York. ROUNDUP The war production board says arsenical insecticides for the coming summer months should be bought early, because uncertain transportation and manpower and container shortages might delay last-minute orders and result in heavy crop damage ...

An estimated 30,- 000 dozen household furnace scoops and 85,000 dozen snow shovels will be produced in 1944 and the first of them should be available to consumers by late fall or winter.
