TRACTOR IGNITES
LOAD OF GRAIN
What might have been a disastrous
fire occurred during threshing opera
tions at the home of Arthur Grange,
half a mile south of Auburn, when a
load of grain fell/on a tractor.
The exhaust manifold of the tractor
was blamed for igniting the load of
grain.

NEW SPRINKLER
KEICPS LAWNS GREEN
A boon to homeowners is a perma-
nent lawn sprinkler kit, The compact
unit -consists of 100 feet of flexible
polythene pipe that hooks onto the
water tap. The remainder of the pipe
is buried under the lawn with the
sprinkler heads protruding just to the
surface so they don’t hinder mowing.
One person, equipped with knife,
pliers and- spade, can install the
underground system in no time at all,
The flexible pipe bends easily around
trees and posts and it won’t rust, rot
or corrode. One of these sprinkler
kits keep 2,40p square feet of lawn
fresh and green.

Dr. Tuft was reporting on “inhaled”
allergens- in the American Journal of
Diseases of Children, published by
the American Medical Association.
He says that for many years aller
gic eczema, a form of skin disease,
was treated like other “eczemas” and
was , blamed on allergy-producing
foods such as milk, wheat and eggs.
He said that food can cause this kind
of skin disease, but that it often re
sults from simply inhaling allergens,
notably ragweed. Frequently, both
skin disease and asthma are caused
by the same substance.
If you care to look into the future
—to be precise, to the year 1975—to
find out what your life may be like
in those far-away days, all you have
to do is visit an exhibition which the
United States Chamber of Commerce
has opened in Washington.
You will quickly come to the con
clusion that your life will be largely
controlled by electronic devices—and
that your own role in the universe
will become almost negligible.
Science will look after your needs
and' comforts. Life, in fact—at least,
judging by the prophecies of
cians and engineers—-will be
but comforts.

years from now dishes and clothes
may t be washed by ultrasonic waves
without mechanical agitation. High
frequency radiation may dry the
dishes and clothes instantly and
completely sterlize them.
Then the clothes will move auto
matically into an adjoining “ironer.”
Mind you, all these new fancies- of
the future are still very much the
dreams of the designers and engin
eers. The sketches shown were con
tributions from different firms. They
were illustrations of what they visual
ize for themselves, in their particular
fields of operation and manufacture,
twenty years in the future.
Chief causes of the disease are
house dust, plant pollens, wool, silk,
tiny scales from animal hair or fea
thers, insecticides, and atmospheric
molds (particularly in the Midwestern
or grain areas of the country.) Child
ren may get allergic eczema fr,om
rabbits, cats, horses and dogs. While
some cases may be treated by desen
sitizing injections like those used in
asthma, the usual treatment is to re
move the cause.
Dr. Tuft noted that it is even pos
sible children may be allergic to dan
der in the scalps of their parents—
but this has never been proved. “Until
it is,” he said, “one must withold

With many herds getting almost
winter rations of hay or silage during
much of July and August, a scarcity
of these feeds is likely to occur before
the pas'ture season next spring. As
surance of a good supply of fall pas
ture will help to overcome this scar
city to some extent. It is doubtful if
dried out, overgrazed pastures will
produce too well now, even with rain,
and heavy grazing of alfalfa during
the fall months will seriously reduce
the volume of
year.
A mixture of
bushel of oats,
of rye per acre,
good fall pasture and reduce the. load
on permanent pastures and meadows.
It will take from three to four weeks
after seeding before it is ready to
pasture. The oats grow faster than
the rye, so pasturing can start sooner
than if only rye were sown. If the
field is early and well drained, the
rye will provide early spring pasture
before other pasture crops are ready.
This is also a decided advantage when
the hay mow is low.
The catch of new seeding will pro
bably depend on favourable weather
for the rest of the fall. At present, it
doesn’t look too good. Faced with the
prospect of failure of this spring’s
seeds some farmers are considering
fall seeding to be sure of a hay crop
next summer. The success of fall seed
ing will likely depend on favourable
weather for growth in the fall, and
not too severe a winter. Seeding can
be without a nurse crop or with a
very light seeding of oats, which will
give some protection and then die
over winter. If attempting a fall Seed
ing for the first time, remember
these points.
Grasses are likely to be more suc
cessful than clovers. Timothy, Orch
ardgrass, Brome and Perennial Rye
grass are suitable. Red Clover, Al-
sike, Sweet Clover or Alfalfa can be
used in the mixture and with favour
able conditions will survive.
Seed as early as possible to get the
greatest possible growth and root
development this fall.
Use a liberal amount of suitable
fertilizer to assist in getting a good
stand.
Seed shallow, on a well prepared,
firm seed bed.
