4 THURSDAY, JAN 10, 1952 THE EAGLE, AROUND THEFARM Talked to a machinery repair man in St. Helens the other day. He reports that this is a very quiet season in farm machinery repair. It is also a very good reason to get repair work dene so equipment is ready to go when it is needed. This man mentioned the case <>f a mower he had fixed on a •hurry up job last summer. Yet that same mower was pulled out of the field broken the year before. Many times we know about a cracked casting, bad bearing, crooked shaft or some other reeded repair, but just don't get around to getting it fixed until we need the equipment Many farm shops are cold this time of year and there is no adequate method of heating most machine sheds.

The average U. S. citizen eats 13 per cent more food today than he did during the pre-war years of 1935 to 1939. The number of farm people producing this food has been decreasing, however. Farm population was 22 per cent of the U. S. population in 1940 but in 1950 our farm population was down to only 16 per cent of the U.S. When spraying weeds with 2,4-D you will get the best re sults by spraying when weed* are growing rapidly before the weather gets too hot and the soil too dry. Robert Robinson and G. C. Curteman, Rainier, ran some trials on tansy ragwort last spring. They found that 2,4-D applied when the weather was hot gave a much poorer kill then when it was applied during cool weather. This same finding has been re ported by farmers who used 2,4-D on Canada thistle. Spraying wh"n the thistles first came out in bud gave bett r results than waiting until the thistles were in bhxim.

From where I sit, most people are basically honest — and that goes for their opinions, too. even though they may be different than our own. I like a glass of beer w ith my dinner; you may prefer some thing else . . . but we all ought to be allowed to "figure it out” our selves. Most people thought Slim Ben son would probably go broke w hen he first started his system of let ting customers figure out their own checks over at his big diner on the highway. Slim trusts them to pay for as much as they eat—you simply tell Sally, his cashier, the amount of your bill. It works, too. Take the other day when Buck Harris told Sally his bill was 35<*.
