George swears the cheating attempt was all a joke. veys show that most farm build- ings are badly in need of repair, remodeling or replacement. For years depreciation has exceed- ed maintenance improvements. As building material and labor become available, farm building improvements may show a total annual expenditure of more than a billion dollars. * In planning barn improve- ments, don't overlook, features `to make routine chores Safe and easy. These time savers are us- ually simple and inexpensive, and they eliminate accident haz- ards which, records show, cause a great deal of pain, lost time and expense. Inconvenience it- self fosters accidents because overwork reduces alertness and encourages carelessness. When you continue doing daily farm chores under hazardous condi- tions your life is at stake. Start corrective action before a trag- edy occurs. * The first step is to go over the barn with a critical eye to locate accident hazards and inconveni- ences. Some may have remain- ed unnoticed for years. The sec- ond step is to correct them. The solution is usually obvious and does not require special help. For successful results, the prin- cipal requirement is a willing- ness to question the way you work and a real desire to find easier and safer ways of doing chores. Long established habits are hard to break. Those who have the determination and per- severance to follow the job through are usually well repaid. * * * Falls and falling objects cause a large portion of farm acci- dents; so check your barn for loose objects or things that cause falls. High door sills, abrupt changes in floor levels, weak boards, protruding cleats or other tripping hazards should be removed. All floors should be solid, smooth and continuous. 4, * Do some housecleaning and set things in order if the alleyways or work areas are obstructed with feed, tools, harness, feed God's Platt and Man's ResPonse Genesis 1:27-28;; 6:5.8; 8:20-22 Memory Selection: Let the wick- ed forsake his way, and the un• righteous plan his thoughts: and let hint return, •unto the Lord, and no Win have mercy upon him; end to our God, for He abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:7, The story of man's disobedi- ence and consequent fall is the most tragic of all history. Dur- ing the first part of this century many preaphers passed over this event lightly, Striking advances in science gave them a spring- board from which to exalt man. Thencame the Great War shat- tering the dreams of meals suc- cess in building Utopia, Karl Barth's commentary on 'Romans written as he listened to the guns booming at Verdun, Franca and published in 1919 symboliz- ed the beginning of a trend back to realism, Man was sinful, Man, was progressing in the field of science but tragically failing itt the moral realm. The light-eyed optimism of the early years of the century has gone. The history of man's first 2000 'years is told in five chapters and the story of Noah in the next four. "God saw that the wicked- ness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagina- tion of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." The Bible is very frank. Noah, after saving his fa- - mily from the flood planted a vineyard, drank of the wine and became drunk. As usual, the re- sult was unhappiness for all. The rainbow is God's token that He will not again bring a great flood upon the earth. But He will pour out His wrath upon the sinful race. "The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shalt pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with . fervent heart, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up," 2 Peter . 3;10, Atomic 'scientists wonder if man will set off this destruction him- self •by starting .at chain reac- 'tion. We don't'know what means ' God may use but this time of butting will "cbine at His ap- pointment. "Seeing then that all these- things shall be dissolved, what manner, or.persons ought ye to be in all 'holy conversa- tion and godliness." We ought " to heed the invitation quoted in the memory selection and find God's abundant pardon for our sins. Jesus Christ has provided for it. Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking No land is so extensive or so in need of improvement as are natural pastures. Today there are many farmers who accept pastures for what they are and not for what they could be, with the consequence that most of our ,pastures are producing at less than 50 per cent of their cap- acity. * The benefits from" fertilizing " pastures are apparent from the results of trials conducted over several, years by the Division of -Field Husbandry, Central- 'Exee perimental Farm, Ottawa, and at several of the Branch ,farms in Eastern Canada. In the Ottawa district on the basis of forty different fertil- izer trials conducted over sev- eral years, fertilized pastures produced, on an-average, 63 per cent more herbage on a dry weight basis, than unfertilized areas. Fertilizer also improved the composition of the herbage by increasing the clover stand by 50 per cent and decreasing the weed population by about 30 per cent. , * * In the Province of Quebec at Lennozville, Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere and Normandin, aver- age increases of approximately 45, 55 and 62 per cent respec- tively were obtained by fertiliz- ation. - In the Maritime Provinces at Fredericton, N.B., Nappan, N.S., and Charlottetown, P.E.I., fertil- ized pastures produced over 50 per cent more herbage than un- fertilized pastures. * * Among the factors to be con- sidered in determining the kind and quantity of fertilizer for any particular crop are the nature of the soil and the pre- vious treatment of the land, Information relevant to soil tex- ture, drainage, lime require- ments, and the availability of plant food constituents is most helpful in deciding the fertilizer needs of a crop. Some of this information can be obtained from an analysis of soil from the area, * * It is not possible to suggest any One fertilizer for all soil and climatic condition. In general, phosphorus 'is usually required on clayey soils where clovers normally grow. Where clovers are not adaptable fertilizers con- taining nitrogen are generally recommended. Potassium is fre- quently needed for sandy soils. A liberal initial application of not less than 500 pounds of a complete fertilizer will general- ly be the most economical, foie lowed by similar treatments every two or three years with more frequent nitrogen appli- cation; * 5 Although barnyard manure is ordinarily used on crop land, its value for use on pastures should not be overlooked. Fcrtiliter recommendations May be obtained from the Tire- vincial Department Of ture. The nearest Experimental` Farm or Agricultural School may also have recomtnendations of more immediate local value. - * Pasture production may be doubled by proper' fertilitation. * • 3©S Sim BM v v 1N N OMV pp -Lava.

The question, whether adver- tising billboards shall indiseri. minately decorate the 41,000- mile network Of federally fin- anced superhighways to be built within the next 13 years needs to be carefully considered by all ,Americans. A "battle of the billboards" has been shaping up quietly, with first congressional hear- ings already held, And with con- servationists, garden clubs, the American Automobile Aseecia- then, planning expert; and A lot of average citizens lined up on one side favoring a strict ban on billboards, And with the outdoor, advertising industry and the painters and decorators union wanting a free hand, or at least a hand only Mildly re- strained, to post their bills. All sorts of arguments, good, bad and fantastic, have been advanced as to why the bill- boards should or should not be banned. On one side that they deface the scenic beauty of America, contribute to highway accidents, are part and parcel of , what Robert Moses calls the "indiscriminate mushr 00 rn growth of ugly filling stations, hot-dog stands, and all the other roadside eye-sores" which have spoiled many a highway. On the contrary side it is ar- gued that billboards are really more beautiful than unkempt fields, that they keep drivers awake along the monotonous miles, and that—well, how else are tourists going to know what's ahead in the way of gas stations, motels, restaurants, and holiday resorts? How shall the argument be resolved? Getting down to basic points, it seems to me that the outdoor advertising industry has no justification in suggest- ing that it is against states' rights or somehow anti-Ameri- can to protest against the plant- ing of billboards along the great new highways of the nation. The free-enterprise system, for all the vast benefits and strengths it has conferred on America, still has no inalienable, right to hawk its wares before the publid gaze morning, nook., and night. It is in places like Egypt, a very imperfect demo- cracy, that native peddlers are permitted to tour the streets shouting eeylangeeeer for sale! be-e fore most anybody is awake in the morning. It' is in the rSoviet Union, a Communist state, that thee government, unheeding they public sensibilities, can without qualms locate a state-enterprise billboard at a scenic spot along the road, writes Wim H. Stringer in The Christian Science Moni- tor. In a more developed demo- cracy, the people are free to band together to protest and protect themselves against a situation where a normal right has been misused or so over- used as to become a public nui- sance. The right of industry to advertise is essential. But ad- vertisers can be prevented from locating billboards along the scenic rim of the Grand Canyon. The intent of the Eisenhower administration is to penalize states, by withholding 5 per cent of the federal highway aid al- lotments, if they do not con- form to a suggested national billboard. control policy. A. bill proposed by Senator Rithard L. Neuberger (D) of Oregon would have the government assist states financially in the purchase of advertising rights within 500 feet of the highway right of way. But the outdoor advertising lobby is sometimes pretty pow- erful and the final outcome is uncertain. The chance to build, billboards along $32,500,000,000 worth of highways — the great limited-access, dual-highway ar- teries which will link 42 state capitals and 90 per cent of all cities with populations over 50;000 — constitutes something worth lobbying for. Not all of these highways will wind through scenic wonder= lands. But most of - them will traverse the rural countryside —the vanishing (in the East) vistas which give peace of mind and relax tensions merely by existing for the coneemplation of inert. Whet is decided about the billboards will, to a degree, help detertnine how much of unspoiled America is preserved for the future, Striking red-brick Radbusset or City Ithll is known round the world as a line example of mod- ern architecture, The Swedes arc a SPrIOLIS sub- stantial, independent, and efil- Cleat people.

A. sight-seeing tour empha- sizes the historical and art treasures of Stockholm. A capi- tal never ravaged by war, it preserves an unusual amount of such materials. Everywhere it seems we encounter memorials — streets, parks, monuments — to the exploits of Charles XII, the brilliant King who raised Sweden to its greatest power, but also drained it of men and money by his wars. Quite. poss- ibly this experience helped per- suade Swedes to seek the path of neutrality which they have followed as tenaciously as the Swiss. One statue has Charles point- ing and saying, "There is Nar- vael recalling the great battle in which his armies defeated the Russians. I remember that he preceded Napoleon in Russia and -stayed much longer (nine years). By comparison it seems little attention is devoted to Gustavus.

The relationships of the Scan- dinavian countries form an in- teresting study, The nuances would require much more than a brief visit to understand. All five, including Finland and Ice- land, have one agency of co- operation — the Scandinavian Council. The three larger na- tions are especially linked, eco- nomically and politically. Sweden, strongest of the three countries in resources and popu- lation, seems self-sufficient and independent, which may be re- lated to its neutral position. The Swedes are especially good as administrators and technicians. The three nations speak close- ly related tongues but the Danes and Norwegians say they under- stand one another better. This may be more than strictly a matter of language; they had a common experience ,in resisting German occupation and now are both in NATO. There can be no question, however, that the Swedes are deeply imbued with the ideas of freedom. Officially they may be neutral, but not in their hearts.

Trondheim is the first city of any size we see and be- fore long we are setting down at Gastrup Airport, Copenhagen — a bit more than 30 flying hours from Tokyo but within an hour we are off for Stockholm. And breakfast is served! The first thing we learn about Sweden is that photographs are not permitted from the air. Military security again! Also we see jet interceptor planes car- rying out maneuvres. The Swedes, clinging to neutrality, refused to join NATO, but are taking precautions of their own. They ,have gone further than ,any nation in building factories underground. And here. in Stockholm we have seen a giant deep air-raid shelter, presently serving as a garage to take some of their thousands of cars off the streets. We are, told there is'a car for every seven persons, writes Donovan Richardson in 'The Christian Science Monitor. Stockholm, seated on islandi and promontories between Lake Malvern and arms of the Baltic Sea, has rare 'scenic advantages. And it has used them well, with handsome buildings enhancing its water front and bordering its waterways. One of these, the One of Britain's biggest firms of safe manufacturer's owes its origin to a crook, 1-Ie' was an unknown criminal who pulled clef a robbery in Portsmouth Dockyard In 1817. As a result the government invited design- ers to submit a burglar-proof lock, with a $500 reward for the winning design. TwO young ironmongers in- vented a lock and put it into competition. The "judge" was a convicted burglar who was then serving a sentence on the hulks in Portsmouth Harbour. For two months he went to wOrk on the lock ,with all the tools of his trade lint in the end he had to admit defeat. The young ironmongers went on to found a family company of lock and safe manufacturers. Many of such firms employ expert mechanics whose job is to open safes when the owners have mislaid or lost the keys. These safebreakers did valuable work during the blitz when banks were bombed and dam- aged safes had to be opened. An expert once got a royal summons to Sandringham. where King Edward VII was holding a dinner party. The King's gold plate was locked in the strong-room and the keys had been mislaid. The expert opened the safe in a quarter of an hour. On another occasion this man was called to Liverpool to open a safe. Arriving the city late at night, he was, stopped by' a patrolling policeman and spent the night in custody for carry- ing a kit of burglar's tools!. . .
