For the insects, that lower the grade of Your grain,' and cause you a lose when your come to sell it, do not get into the bin along with the new grain. lu most eases they're lil there when you put in the new. * * Cleaning and spraying grain bilis is ineurtuhce against such damage. Wall- should be thoroughly swept down. l:loors—especially the corn- ers and between the Studdings--- should lie sirept and scraped. And it's a good idea to see to it that the sweepings are burned, since they are liable to contain eggs and larvae that might get back into the bins. Steel bins should be caulked to make them more weadexpro,.,. Make Wooden bins and granaries as tight as you possibly can. r * Walls, ceilings and floors should he sprayed with a Live per cent Lel) emulsion applied at the rate of one gallon per one thousand square feet. • Or you can make a 2' per cent DDD spray by adding two pounds of DDI) wettable pow - ,ler to five gallons of water. This mixture should be applied at the rate of two gallons per thousand equare feet. * * 5 A problem that frequently comes lip on various farms is how to kill slumps and prevent resprouting. The follu51ing suggestions will he —I hope --of value. 1 :k * Aminate t ammonium surfamate ) has Leen successfully used in 01011v places both to kill tree stumps and to stop any resprouting. on fresh- ly cut mumps it can be applied dry at the rate of about one ounce per inch of tree diameter. * * * Yon can also use this •anunate as a .pray for stump sprouts or weeds by dissolving it in water at the rate. of one pound per gallon of water. It should be applied on cool, cloudy, moist days when plants are grading rapidly. Spray sprouts or weeds until they are thoroughly wen Many sorts of stump sprouts can epee fe killed with 2, 4-D, 2, 4, 5-I e's s mixture of the two. As 2,4-0 is the cheaper, you alight try it first. Then if the sprouts do not reser, try 2, 4, 5-T or a mixture of both. A mixture often gives bet- ter results than either chemical used by itself. The fact that damp hay can rause a lire is will knot+, to al- most es eryone living in a farming community-. Yet for all that over half of all farm fires start in the haymow. And the critical period for spontaneous• combustion tires is generally about a month after ha'; is put into the barn. :k * * flow can you tell if your hay is getting too hot? Usually you can smell a strong burning odor in the barn. Later a steam -like vapor may eine from the hay. x * * Surest system though, is to take the temperature of your hay, This Can be done easily with an ordi- nary dairy thermometer. A 10- or 12-itt. piece of pipe, large enough to lower the thermometer into, is driven into the hay. The ther- mometer then is dropped into the pipe on a piece of string. * * * A pointed plug in one end of the pipe will simplify the job of driv- ing the probe into the hay. And a series of three -eighths -inch holes drilled in the pipe just above the plug, will give you a more accur- ate reading. * * * Good quality hay seldom will Brough Triumphs—Margaret Dupont (left) of Bellevue, Del., congratulates Louise Brough, after Miss Brough defeated her to win the Wimbledon Womtn's Singles Championship for the third straight year. Later, she teamed up with Mrs. Dupont to ruin the 'Women's Doubles. Still later, with Eric Sturgess of South Africa, the rugged Miss Brough achieved victory in the mixed doubles championship match. reach a temperature of more than 120 degrees, If the temperature gets up around 160 degrees, check the hay frequently, And if hay temperature reaches above 200 de- grees, fire is:almost sure to follow. * * * What can be done about hot hay? Your first thought may be to remove it as quickly as possible. Don't do it—unless you have the fire department ;standing by. First thing to do is find out how much hay is involved. P1aybe only a load or two is heating danger- ously. Check with your probe and thermometer to find out how wide- spread the danger is. * * * When you've got the hot spot located, don't throw water on it. That will only increase the danger by wetting previously dry hay. ,F * * Liquid carbon dioxide, which you can get at most drug stores, can reduce the temperature of heated hay as much as 100 degrees. Hay can be dosed with it through the same pipe you used to check tem- perature. • * * Whenever you're checking sus- piciously warm hay, avoid inhal- ing the fumes from it. And what- ever you do, dont fall into a spot that has been charred out. Walk on a plank laid across the hay. Or tie boards to your feet so you have extra support. k * * .Actually, most haymow fires could easily be prevented. Crushing stents in the field so hay dries evenly is one solution.. Another is to dry hay artificially in the mow. * * * Or store your hay in small quan- tities and provide good ventilation. Mows containing 10 tons or less are not likely to heat much. • * 1' Thorough curing in the field, of course, means loss of valuable leaves. But overheating—aside from the danger to buildings and live- stock—can wipe out just as niuch nutritive value. * * * Can you tell when hay is safe enough to put it into the bard? Farm specialists say it's safe if moisture content is under 30 per cent. * * A good home-made test still is the old system of twisting a hand- ful of stems in two. If no mois- ture appears, the hay probably is safe enough to put into the mow. I didn't accuse anyone of cheat- ing: I just said I hoped they would play the hands I had dealt them.

Gold Changed Into Lead In Transit Armed guards stood by at a Lon- don airport the other day, when more than £1,000,000 worth of gold was loaded on to a Belgian Dakota, racked in S4 steel crates, it was taken to the airport in a Bank of England van and later flown safely to the Bank of Brussels. Transporting gold by air, sea and land can he a tricky business. .A man who has flown more than £7,- 000.000 worth of gold bars, six -foot - tall Jelke Braalcsma employed by a Dutch air line, says: "It's quite a responsibility, but I never worrsl-. The gold bars are not actually packed; they are usually left loose, because they are easier to handle that way." Aircraft are about the safest means of carrying gold long dis- tances, altht9ugh a large consign- ment once vanished mysteriously during transit from Baghdad to Croydon by air. Treasure -ships of the air are sometimes used in Am- erica to transport gold from a bank's headquarters to remote branches. The transport of two billion dol- lars worth of gold front San Fran- cisco to Denver, Col. (nearly 1,000 miles), proved a gigantic task. Three hundred sharpshooters, postal inspectors and police were on duty round the old Mint in San Fran- cisco and 200 nacine-guns bristled from all adjacent buildings as a dozen armed snail trucks backed up to the Mint's loading platform. Each was loaded with a ton of gold. The only audible voices as this took place were those of two beg- gars asking: "Brother, can you spare a diene?" In caravan formation and sur- rounded by troops, the trucks moved off to the railway station, their way being blazed far ahead by pow- erful searchlights. Infinite precau- tions were taken at the station in transferring the immense wealth to a train of armoured coarhes. When gold goes by sea it is loaded into a liner's strong -room only at the last minute before the ship is due to sail. This is to thwart any desperate gang who alight de- cide to have a shot at, getting the gold. In 1924 a vast quantity of gold was sent from Salisbury, Rhodesia, to Cape Town. It left Salisbury in a huge steel safe, which was care- fully stowed away itt the bullion room of a liner sailing from Cape `l'own. But when the gold reached London, its final destination, and was 'escorted to the offices of a bank, the officials had a nasty shock, It was found that lead had been substituted for about $50,000 worth of the gold. Police aro still looking for that t:041.—and the [nen wino stole it. SPORT li A si rC* ' is A writer in .the latest issue of the News Bulletin, put out by the. Toronto Anglers' and Hunters' As- sociation, brings up a paint which should be of interest to many who --unthinkingly---do harm to the very creatures they try to befriend ami protect. * * '5 Not long ago a friend brought to that writer a small, young bird which he had found in a stoney feld near a body of water. From its long spindly legs and marked grey down it was soon identified as a baby sandpiper. * * * The baby bird had been caught with the best of intentions—its captor believing that it had been deserted by the mother bird. Which brings up the point that has been stressed by all fish and game de- partments lately—that persons in the out-of-doors should not handle or capture the young of any wild crea- ture. * 5 * This is because, in many cases— such as that of a young deer—it will be deserted by the mother should she detect on it any trace of human scent. The mother, al- though you do not happen to see it, is in all probability hiding near- by where you catch the young one, and if the Juvenile is left strictly alone she will soon return. But—if you handle it—the chances are that she will have nothing more to do with it, 5 * * Every year there are many in- cidents where kindly and well- nteaning folks feel that they are acting a good Gleed when they res- cue the young of some moose, deer or bird from apparent desertion, when, as a matter of fact, they are really doing harm, And it is also pointed out that it is against the law to take the young of any wild life in the closed season unless you are certain that the mother has been killed by some accident, Even in such cases it is best to get in touch with the local game warden as quickly as possible. * '5 * Down at the Polo Grounds in New York this Sunday (July 30) they are going to throw another of those "Old Tillers' Days," fea- turing some of the Giants. of 20 or so years ago up against their ancient and bitter rivals of :he sante vintage, the St. Louis Gashouse Gang. * * * It should be interesting—even if a bit painful to those who re- member then) in the days of their greatness—to see Melt Ott, Blondy Ryan, Hughie Critz, Pepper Mar- tin, Joe Medwick, Leo Dnrocher, and all the rest of thele in uni- form once more, even if sone of them are liable to bust a gusset trying to reach down for a ground- er, or require oxygen treatment after a dash all the way from home (date halfway to first base. On the mound, as opposing start- ing hurlers, will be Carl Hubbell for the Giants, and Dizzy Dean for the St, Louis crew. And while base- ball has long been marked by kee'1 pitching rivalries, there are few that have matched the spectacular duels which involved this partieniar pair. Maybe Cal Hubbell wasn't the greatest southpaw that ever lived; hut we wouldn't mind making a small wager that you can't name three better. In fact, we wouldn't mind making the sante bet with regard to Dizzy Dean, as a right - bander. * * * The Dizzy one broke into big league•ball with a bang. Gabby Street was manager of the Car- dinals back in 1932 when Dean arrived and the newcomer was so cocky and brashly self-confident that before many days had pass- ed everybody on the team, front manager down to water boy, was longing to see him get his come- uppance. * * 0 The chance to see that he got just that, and in plentiful measure, came on after he joined the team, In an exhibition game the I'hiladpelhia Athletics were giving t11e National Leaguers a terrific mauling and Dean — sitting on the bench — kept saying; "I jest wisht 1 was in there a-throwin'," * * * Manager Street heard what he was saying and made up his mind to give the fresh bueher the lesson of his life, Waiting till the A'" had the bases loaded, with nobody out, he turned and yelled at Dizzy; "Get in there hurl pitch 1ru1 1 hope you get 50110 brains knocked out." * * ,) Nothing abashed, ]Dizzy rnubtl- eptly strode to the plate an , hhnly fanned in successioe _.read 'rat 0111 Weep--- At Simmons, Jinlnly- ]'r)xz rad 111acit Mike Corinne, shout its dangerous a trio 1) ever loaded a side with potential dyllalliite. hif;ht.

One of the. really outstanding double headers of all time lvas tine one in which Hubbell and Dean took part, although not as opposing mounds - men. This was on July 2, 1933, when the Cards and Giants were sched- uled to play twin bill. Hubbell pitched the opener against Tex Carleton. It was a honey of a battle all the way, with Jess Haines tak- ing over from Tex Carleton in the sixteenth. * * * . For inning after inning Hubbell mowed then down just about as fast as they got up there. In the eighteenth inning a New York run trickled across the plate, and that was all Cal needed. He won by a score of 1 to 0, giving up only six hits, fanning 12 and issuing not at single pass. * * * Dizzy Dean went to the mound for the Cards in the second gatne, 11ith Roy Parmelee serving then up for the Giants. It was another magnificient pitching battle, the only run of the game coaling when Johnny Vergez teed off on one of Dean's pitches for a homer. Two games—twenty seven innings—and only two runs scored. And still they t/y and tell us the hall isn't any livelier than it used to be. * * t Altogether Dean and Hubbell pitched against one another a total of ten tines—with the great left hander triumphing on six occa- Siens.
