scribe •our joyat seeing the barn
well stocked with hay and the.
wheat in stooks. Yon people on
farms know what an 'anxious few
weeks we'put in from the, day the
grain starts heading out to the
time it is ready to cut. Every time
.it thunders' or, the sky looks over-
cast there comes that dread that a
bad storm may blow up, to flatten
the crops, making them difficult' or
even impossible to cut
* * *
Cutting the wheat was quite an
interestingevent at Ginger Farm
this •year. You see We did some-
thing that hadn't been done on this
fain :before. We had the binder
hitched to the tractor and cut the
wheat down that way. Of course
that was sou Bob's little do. He
fixed up the' binder, made a short
tongue for it, and was sooty 'away,
with young John bouncing up.. and
down on the seat of the binder,
where he was supposedly watching
for anything that might go wrong
with operations. The wheatwas
very heavy and there were plenty
of stops but the only breakage was..
a slat on the reel, so we thought
we were pretty lucky on the
whole, Partner of course, was also
out in the field, stooking a bit and'
lending a hand whenever the
sheaves bunged up and gave'trou-
ble, Out of curiosity I went around
the field once on the tractor. Once

least as long as the job lasts.
* * *
However it is all over now ..
the wheat is cut and we can take
a breathing sf ell. Not to do no-
thing, of course, but to catch up
with some of the odd jobs that
haying and harvesting have pushed
to one side But wouldn't it benice
to take a holiday? Just imagine
having a notice 'in the paper —
"Ginger Farm. will be closed for
one week -- from August 1 to
August B." If only the cows could
milk themselves and the chickens
hunt their own feed and find their
own water. And the eggs — what
would happen to ,the eggs in the
hen -pen if there was no ou around
to pick them. up several times e
day,',Yes, it is possible to, shut up
a store, a factory or an office but
• a 'farm—, never. At least not a
farm tvith livestock on' it depend,
ing on die owners for daily care.
* * - *
But I was.talkittg about odd jobs
, one of them is experimenting
with ..DOT Insecticide. i can tell
you we didn't waste any. time in
ordering a supply once we knew it
was on 'the •market for we are sick
to death of association with flies. '
We surety hope DDT will live up
to its wonderful reputation, As fat
as I can 'see its one disadvantage
is in its poisonous quality which
makes it unsafe for household use.
However there is one safe way of-
• using it around the house, It can
be sprayed around the outside of
the window' frames, being careful
to shut the windows first and', 10
wear gloves for the job. It cer-
tainly discourages flies from . mak-
iug a rendezvous of your windows
and from them eventually gaining
access tJyour rooms, fly screens
notwithstanding.
Of course we really bought it
for barer use but Partner has not
yet had a chance to try it out.
Britain Produces
Unshrinkable Wool
It remained for a British sci-
entist to learn the secret of mak-
ing wool unshrinkable, says the
Lethbridge Herald. What his pre-
paration is no one knows, but
we do know that It works. Ifo
made it available to the British
Government during the war and
it solved a great many problems
connected with clothing the troops.
It is understood only a couple of
mets besidesthe discoverer know
how to make tine preparation.
It is said that a pair ofsocks
made of the treated wool can be
washed for two or three hours in
soap and water which would
shrink socks made from untreated
wool to infant size, yet the treat-
ed wool sociis come out of the
wash soft and springy and as
large as ever.
