Tillage by CONSUMERS' ASSOCIATION OF , CANADA Painting in and around your home can be easier than you think and for consumer savings is still the cheapest, quickest and best way to achieve a fresh look. Al- most any room can be changed with an investment of only a few dollars. Care for Lawn Do' you have a large lawn or do you just naturally like to take it easy during the hot weather? if you fit either category, then a riding mower could be just what you 're looking for to cut the grass. • Most riding mowers are 4 horsepower °with, a' steel frame and a 37-inch wheelbase, says Professor Ross Irwin, Univer- sity of Guelph, but this can vary with the manufacturer. On the average; machines have four for- ward speeds, and can move, fully loaded, at speeds of up. to 4 miles per hour. As with many things, there are advantages and disadvantages to using this mower. This type is safer than ofher,,s in one respect, since the opeerator sits over the cutting area. This" reduces the risk of injury from flying stones or other 'objects thrown out by the cutting blades. The two biggest dangers of the riding mower are that it can tip over on an incline or during a sharp turn, and it can be thrown backwards if the clutch is en- gaged while the engine is running • at high speed. Proper machine operation can easily overcome these potential hazards. ,Because of the size and struc- ture of the riding mower, says Professor Irwin, animals and children should be kept at a safe . distance and... no extra riders.' perm itte-d at a.ny time. , The efficiency of the machine can be high as the height of the cut can be adjusted. Most ,riding mowers have runners to regulate the. height, and thus prevent lawn scalping and consequent scor- ching from the sun, Certain mo- dels can have their height ad- justed by changing the height of the axle, but this can be a tedious operation. A min-floating rotary mower' can have a cutting dia- meter of 26 inches and adjust- ments to vary the height of the cut from 1 '3/4 • to 2 3/4 inches. .If a' Youggster is operating the machine, insurance policies should be checked; co-ordination and skill are required to operate the mowers correctly, and in- surance coverage 'should extend to all those who may use the machines. Smokey, Says: Consumers' Association of Canada suggests that if you are not too knowledgeable in this fields your paint dealer will give you all the information you re- quire on accessories such as brushes, rollers, putty, edgers and so on. But before you go to the dealer, measure the area you are going to paint and ask him to estimate how much it will re- quire. He will be able to give yOu a closerstestimate than you can arrive at yourself. Ohe point to consider; if the estimate should come to three quarts, it might be wiser to buy the gallon for the few added cents it will cost for the extra quart. It will come in handy for touchups as the next time you go it) buy the paint it might be a different batch and slightly different in color. An executive of one of the world's largest paint companies once said." We do not make money on the paint we sell, but rather on the paint the consumer wastes." So a real money-saver is to be sure to seal the left-over paint properly.. Clean the rim and lid of the can thoroughly with whatever solvent is recommended and seal it, gently tapping lid in place with a hammer. Store the can upside down. By following this proce- dure, even enamel should remain in excellent condition. The best single piece of advice is, read the label before you apply the paint. The label directions are not advertising. They are written for a purpose and for your infor- mation. The Canadian paint Manufacturers Association sug- gests every instruction be fol- lowed to the letter if you want a beautiful paint job and offers some guidance ;or do-it-yourself painters. Don't jump in without first making the necessary prepara- tions. Fill ail cracks in plaster walls with spackling material, using a putty knife, a kitchen knife or a versatile finger and,tumb. When the patching Is completely dry, sand the surface smooth and dust your walls thoroughly. To make your painting easier, remove all, hardware .and light fixtures, from the room and cover with masking tape. Kitchen' and bathroom walls should be washed with household • cleansers to re- move dirt and grease. Cover all floors and, furniture with drop- cloths before painting because a few spatters are inevitable. Now you are ready to applythe under- coating or primer. By dipping the bristles of your brush no more than one-third of their length you can minimize clean-up problems. Save yourself extra work by wiping with a damp -cloth before the spatters dry. Start with the ceiling and work across the width of the room, so you can begin the second Up be- fore the first has dried. And re- member - don't try to move your ladderwith paint or tools aboard. Now begin on the walls and watch your room take shape. Start at the upper left hand corner and work down toward the floor. Fol- low this order whether you are using a brush or a roller. Finally, tackle 'the woodwork.' A round one-inch brush is handy for the window sash; a two-inch brush makes painting the trim a How much more weight can Your vehicles carry?

A constant check of the temp- erature of the hay is vital, says Hal Wright, Farm Safety Specia- list, Ontario Department of Ag- riculture and Food. To take the temperature, a 1/2-inch pipe or tube approxim- ately 10 • feet in length can be used. The - end of the tube should have Et point of hardwood riveted to it, and a few holes, '1/4 inch in diameter, made just above the hardwood. • The tube should be inserted into the,,hay. Drop a candy or oven thermometer attached to a string into the tube and leave it for five minutes. After five'minutes the temp- erature should be noted and com- pared to the following scalp: if the temperature is 150 degrees, the danger zone is near and ob- servations should be made every day; at 160 degrees, inspections should be made every four liOurs; at 175 degrees, fire pockets may be 'anticipated and the fire pumper called to wet down the hay.' U the. temperature reaches a 185 degrees, the hay should ,be removed and the fire pumper available, since flames will de- velop when the fire pockets con- • tact the air. A temperature of 210 degrees means the hay is almost sure to ignite, says Mr. Wright. • Workmen should never work alone and • should always have ropes tied around their, waists as a safety measure when working on ' the haymow. Long planks shOuld be placed over the hay for men to' stand on and observe or remove the hay. Correspondent Mrs. Joseph Kale Mrs:.

COLUMBAN Tillage, traditionally is the precets-of -working. the- soil to render it most suitable for the production of crops. Whether it's 'a fldwer bed, garden, or- chard, or field, the object has been to make a good seedbed for quick germination and pro vide a favorable rooting medium throughout the growth of the plant. This meant a soil suf- ficiently loose to permit good seed coverage, water infiltrat- ion, and root , penetration, yet firm enough to retain moisture and resist erosion. One of our main problems has been to set back the native plant .competit- ion - the weed •growth or exist- , ing perennial crop such as grass sod - so that the new crop would not be deprived of light, tore or nutrients.. Burying the residues often reduced the spread of insect and disease pests. • Now that we are . able to • eliminate weeds and unwanted competition by &the use + of herbicides, we are, questioning the need for tillage. In brief, if a soil is already in a loose, friable state 'and nas not been tramped by cattle or heavy machinery, if may not benefit from plowing. In fact a plowed soil which is subsequently paCked by heavy machinery may be worse than U never plowed. The killed grass mulch on an unplowed sod field can also be a distinct ad- vantage in catching and holding rainfall in moisture deficient soils. If the benefits of plowing seem to be already present in your' soil, why plow? In Ontario we have a growing nurnber of farmers who are successfully reducing or eliminating most of their tillage operations. With corn, the best results are obtained when the previous crop Was sod. This is because sod leaves soil in. a good structural condition.Where the previouS crop was a row crop, yield may be somewhat reduced. However, the regular use of animal manure in such a crop production piogram may give sufficient benefit to the soil to eliminate any need for plowing. 41. A • , , •
