However, they aren't expected to bear any fruit because of damaging effects of salty sea water.. Zeeland, one of The Netherlands' most fertile provinces, is slowly being rehabilitated, ME FARM FRONT Joal.1ssP.l l _ Several years age who would have though that air condition- ing could save the life of any- one or anything? Today we know it as something that is healthful and certainly comfort- able, if properly controlled, but to be used as a "life saver" is rather unique to say the least. a o n The fact is, that the lives of thousands of newly hatched baby chicks are being saved every year by the air conditioner that Morris Gray has installed in his hatchery at Rossville. Ind. Judging from this unique "idea" of Mr. Gray's, it must be said that he certainly knows his business — and to further prove that statement, he owns and suc- cessfully operates two poultry farms, plus the hatchery at Ross- ville where he specializes in Barred Rock broiler chicks hatching about 30,000 a week throughout the year. n :Y Before Mr. Gray installed the air conditioner in his hatchery, he and other • hatcherymen were losing many baby chicks every summer through heat suffoca- tion. It is extremely important to keep incubating rooms from getting too hot, but during the summer months nothing seemed to solve the problem of beating the heat and the tragic, costly loss of the chicks. Finally Mr: Gray hit on the idea of cooling his incubating rooms by installing an air con- ditioner. He called on the dealer , • over in neighboring town and, after sizing up the amount cool- ing needed, a 5 horsepower unit was inetai'ed. From that time an there have been no chicks lost due to heat suffocation. The incubating rooms are kept at the desired temperature and inenienty all summer long. Also dirt and dust are kept out by the filtering ac- tion of the unit. :clr. Gray reports that several neighboring hatcheries, in ad- dition to many in the East, hao heavy losses during the fast hot weather season, and he feels these losses could have been avoided with the use of air con- ditioning. e a An Associated Press store from Pittsburgh says xarmers now can burn coal to save their crepe. It sounds queer, he story goes en. but it makes sense. The research organization of the coal industry. Bituminous Coal Re- seareh, Incorporation has level- aped a eetai-fired device. M R !

And it should prove a great asset, for the story quotes Agriculture Department figures sheaving that bad weather robs crops of enough protein each year to eive seven and a half 1 million rows all the protean they reed €ot six months. This device not only is a fee - ward step in agricultural prog- ress, but it also offers another important market for coal, For, as the Agriculture Department Yearbook says, "the Mechaniza- tion of agriculture may have as far-reaching implications as the Industrial Revolution." Canadian and MAmerican tann- ers will pay at least $45,000,000 to feed the large roundworms in their hogs this year. a n « That's the belief of Dr W. P Elmslie, noted livestock nutri- tionist and co -discoverer of the sodium fluoride method of worming pigs. This huge. feed bill does not include the death losses caused by worms, or the additional time required to feed out wormy hogs. Here's how Dr. Elmslie arrives at his estimates, Farmers are ex- pected to market about 90,000,000 hogs this year. Approximately half — or 45,000,000 — a r e "wormy-," according to packers Dr. Elmslie believes each o1 these harbors at least 25 worms Now, each worm requires one pound of feed. Figuring feed at 4 cents a pound, it costs $1.00 to • feed the 25 worms in each wormy hog. That adds up to 45 million dollars for 45 million wormy hogs. Since he helped discover the value of sodium fluoride as a hog antheimin:ie. Dr. Enna -lie has supervised tneusands of wore -'"g experiments.. Beeau,see scc11 m auaride is toxic to hags he cautions against using ex.es- sive doses. In fact, he has per- fected a tee -day trete-r- nt that is not toxic to hogs, but is highly poisonous to worms. l L 3 inn best way to slash the huge feed bill is to practice strict swine sanitation, he says. How- ever, because a single female roundworm can lay 26 to 27 mil- lion eggs, ane wormy hog might easily infest an entire herd. For this reason, and. because you cannot tell if a pig has worms by looking at hint, Dr, Elmshe reo- - ommends treting them with e safe, effective expeller as the one way to be sure they are free from sverm damage.

For every gest, for- tunately, there is a conu'ot .n cure. The main thing is to get tins control operating at the very rust sign of attack. Careful gardeners will examine any damage like. wilted or partially destroyed of eaten leaves, will regard with sus- picion any sudden check Cat ful gardeners will also supply themselves with some sort et a duster or sprayer and the proper materials to go with them. There is- all sorts of equipment avail- able, and for the ...anal] garden it is not necessary to spend more than a dollar or two: There are also specific dusts and sprays ready mixed for use. As a general rule, insects that eat the foliage are attacked with a poison such as DDT, arsenide of lead, etc., while those that suck out the juices like aphids and other plant lice are control- led with preparations incorpor- ating nicotine or tobacco solo. tions, lime, sulphur or special soap. Finely ground sulphur dust is an excellent preventive tor diseases like rust. Above all it should be remembered that a healthy, well -cultivated, well - fertilized garden is the first and main defense. 1t plants are left unthinned and surrounded with weeds, if the soil is poor and growth spindly and weak we have an ideal spot for pests to flourish. Keep a Record It's an excellent idea to tseep a note -book and list certain jobs we are going to do for sure next year. We should also jot down such items as color and season of bloom, height, resistance to disease and drought and, of course, the name of any flower or shrub we see growing in a neighbous's garden that we hope to have in our own. With certain lines of nursery stock, most shrubs, trees, vines, etc,, one can buy and plant in the fall just as well as next spring. By doing this we get these established earlier and save time for other tasks next year. - Invitation Accepted, In Mil- waultee,eitizens who were in- vited to help themselves to the kindling wood left over from the dismantling of Borchert Field also carried off the main gate, 118 benches, two tool sheds,.$105 worth of tools. en tT*���l�ie34 Whiz Slcidclor.-With his plane disabled by Red onti'aicrgft fire, Moj, Thomas J.
