full blast from the representative.
"Hear Ye! Hear Ye!" the neigh-
bourly representative shouted at The
Phantom. "On behalf of your neigh-
bours, I have come to say, 'We are fed
up! Fed up, do you understand?"
"Fed up, huh?" The Phantom said.
"Are you sure you haven't got room
for a bowl of Mother's soup? I'm
giving it away for free today!"
The neighbourly representative ran
screaming down the street.
The Phantom suggested that we
should move.
I listed the house, but nobody
would buy it. As the real estate
salesmen all candidly told me: "I
believe that the only sure-fire way to
get rid of the soup smell would be to
burn it."
"But I've already burnt the soup
several times!" I wailed.
"Not the soup," they corrected me.
"The house."
"Oh, I couldn't do that," I said.
So we stayed.
Finally I thought of a solution. I
called a family pow -wow to try the
idea out.
"It seems," I admitted frankly,
"that my soup has not been a success.
I believe that tomorrow I will try my
hand at stew."
All four of them hit the revolving
door at the same time.
I had to call in the Para -medics to
extricate my family from the door.
Whilst this was going on, which took
quite some time I must admit, I
whipped up a pot of stew.
The Para -medics put in a call to
the fire department to bring up the gas
masks.
By that time, it was getting quite
crowded around here and I thought I'd
never get enough ingredients stuffed
in that pot to feed all those men.
When the smoke cleared, I found
the pot, looked inside and yelled,
"Stew's on!"
I found that I was yelling to
myself. There was no one else left.
The Para -medics were thoughtful
fellows, though. In place of the door
and in case of further emergency, they
had left me the number of the Poison
Control Centre.°

"COVERED HAY PAYS"
According to an OMAF Factsheet
(Factsheet #88-052)
"By providing protection for big bales, we would reduce losses by
15-20% over 'field stored' hay. If hay is worth $60 per ton, this
amounts to typical losses of $9 to $12 per ton."
Outer layer losses can be
substantial for even an
apparently small depth of
material, as shown in this Figure.
