Clean � our grain beiore har-
eest is a piece of advice yoa've pro-
bably beard before—but it's such an
important matter that another re-
minder needs no apology. For the
inSeCts that lower the grade of
your grahl, and cause you a loss
when you came to sell it, do not
get into the bin aloin; with the new
grain. In nio t cases they're in there
when you put in the new.
Cleaning and spraying gain bins
is insurance against such damage.
Walls should be thoroughly swept
down. Floors --especially the corn-
ers and between the studdings—
should be swept and scraped. And
it's a 9004 idea to see to it that
the sweepings are burned, since
they are liable to contain ctrgs and
larvae that might get h:.ick into
the bins.
Steed bins should be caulked to
snake thorn more ai eau eri,rae•l.

Walls, ceilings and floors should
be sprayed with a five per cent
DDD emulsion applied at the rate
of one gallon per one thousand
square feet. Or you can make a
23/2 per cent DDD spray by adding
two pounds of DDD wettable pow-
der to five gallons of water. This
mixture should be applied at the
rate of two gallons per thousand
square feet.
A problem that frequenfly conies
up on various farms is how to kill
stumps and prevent resprouting.
The following suggestion; will be
—I hope—of value,
Animate (ammonium surfamate)
has been successfully used in many
,places both to kill tree stumps and
to stop any resprouting. On fresh-
ly cut stumps it can be applied dry
at the rate of about one ounce per
inch of tree diameter.
You can also use this animate
as a spray 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 growing rapidly. Spray sprouts
or weeds until they are thoroughly
wet.
' Iany sorts of stump sprouts can
also be killed with 2, 4-D, ?, 4, 5-T
or a rnlmture of the two. As 2,4-D
is the cheaper, you might try it
first. Then if the sprouts do not
react try 2, 4, 5-T or a inixture .
of both. A mixture often gives bet-
ter results than either chemical used
by itself.
The fact thatk damp hay can
cause a fire is well known to aI-
most everyone 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 hay
is put into the barn.
How 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
rise from the hay,
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-ftt. piece of pipe, large enough
to Iower the thermometer into, is
driven into the hay. Tiie 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-
fag 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.

eoilgratulates Louise Brough, after Miss Brough defeated her to
win the Wimbledon Women's Singles Championship for the
third straight year. Later, she teamed tip with Mrs. Dupont to
win the Women's Doubles. Still later, with Eric Sturgess of
South Africa, the rugged Miss $rough 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.
M >k *
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.
>k * *
First thing to do is find out how
much hay is involved. Ifaybe 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.
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, don't fall into a spot
that has been charred out. Walk
oil a plank laid across the hay.
Or tie boards to your feet so you
have extra support.
Actually, most haymow fires could
easily be prevented. Crushing steles
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,
'Rows containing 10 tons or less
are not likely to heat much.
,k %k
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 much
nutritive value.
%k *
Can you tell when hay is safe
enough to put it into the barn?
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.

Good quality hay seldom will play the hands I had dealt them,

HO CAN I?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I relieve the painful
sting of a mosquito?
A. Bathe the affected part with
spirits cf camphor, or with witch -
hazel.
Q. How can I make a water
filter?
A. Cut a hole in a shelf so that
by inverting an ordinary lamp
chimney, it will pass about halfway
through the hole. Fasten securely
to the lower end of the chimney
about three thicknesses of cheese-
cloth; then stuff in absorbent cot-
ton to tI•le depth of three or four
inches. Renew the cheesecloth and
cotton as often as necessary.
Q. How can I keep moths away
from garments that are stored in
wardrobes, trunks and in a chest
of drawers?
A. Pour a little turpentine into
the corners of these containers.
Q. How can I improve the flavor
of coffee?
A. Try sprinkling a little salt
on the bottom of the coffee pot
beforq;i'the coffee is put in.
Gtold Changed' Into
Lead In Transit
Armed guards stood by at a Lon-
don airport the other day, when
snore than £ 1,000,000 worth of gold
was loaded on to a Belgian Dakota.
Packed in 54 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 be a tricky business. A
nian who has flown more than £7,-
000,000 worth of gold bars, six -foot -
tall Jelke Braaksma employed by a
Dutch air line, says: "It's quite a
responsibility, but I never worry.
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, although 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 from San Fran-
cisco to Denver, Col. (nearly 1,000
r_Jiles), proved a gigantic task.
Three hundred sharpshooters, postal
inspectors and police were on duty
round the old Ivfint in San Fran-
cisco and 200 maeine-guns bristled
from all adjacent buildings as a
dozen armed mail trucks backed up
to the Mint's loading platform. Each
Arras loaded with a ton of mold.
The only audible voices as this
tool: place were those of two beg-
gars asking; "Brother, can you
spare a dine?"
In caravan formation and sur-
rounded by troops, the trucks moved
off to the railway statiotll their
v.ay 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 coaches.
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 cluantity of gold
was sent from Salisbury, Rhodesia,
to Cape Town. It left Salisbury in
a Intge steel safe, which was care-
fully stowed away in the bullion
room of a liner sailing from Cape
Town. But when the gold reached
London, its final destination, and
was escorted to the offices of a
bank, the officials bail a nasty shock,
It was found that lead had bean
substituted for about $50,000 wprth
of the gold,
Police are still looking for that
gold --and the men who stole it,

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 -rill soon return,
But—if you handle it—the chances
are that she will have nothing more
to do with it.
Every year there are many in
eidents where kindly and yvell
rneaning folks feel that they ar
doing a good deed when they res
cue the young of some moose, dee
or bird from apparent desertion
when, as a matter of fart, tlie•
are really doing harnh, And it is also
pointed out that it is against th,
law to take the young of any wilt
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 i
touch with the local game -wards

form once more, even if some 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
plate halfway to first base.
On the mound, as opposing start-
ing hurlers, will be Carl Hubbell
for the Giants, and Dizzy -Jean for
the St. Louis crew. And while base-
ball has long been marked by kee•J
pitching rivalries, there are few that
have matched the spectacular duels
yvhich involved this particu!ar pair.
Maybe Cal Hubbell wae,n't the
greatest southpaw that ever lived;
but Ave wouldn't mind making a
small wager that you can't name
three better. In fact, ire wouldn't
mind making the same bet with
regard to Dizzy Dean, as a right-
hander.
The Dizzy one broke into bit;
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, from
manager down to water boy, was
longing to see him get his come-
uppance.
The chance to see that he got just
that, and in plentiful measure, carne
on after he joined the team. In an
exhibition game the Philadpelhia
Athletics were giving tile National
Leaguers a terrific mauling and
Dean -- sitting on the bench --
kept saying. "I jest wislit I was in
there a-throwin'."
%k
Manager Street heard what lie
yvas saying and made up his mind
to give the fresh busker the lesson
of his life Waiting till the A's
had the bases loaded, with nobody
out, lie turned and yelled at Dizzy:
"Get in there and pitch --and I
hope you ;;et your brains knocked
