"A Kentucky farmer makes to the
Louisville Courier-J Journal the sugges-
xi0n that cleaners should 60 into the
wheat fields this summer and gather
mp every stalk Of wheat which the
binder has missed. He estimates that
ten bushels OF wheat, or about two bar
rels Of -four. would be saved in every
2O-acrc field.
The custom has been to turn hogs
into the stsibble and let them clean up
what the harvesters have left. 1t Is
suggested that while we are trying to
save flour for the prosecution of the
war cleaners instead Of pigs should
follow the harvest, as was the custom
IN biblical times.

A good way to protect suits from the
moths Is to secure them in pasteboard
boxes such as you can buy from the
tailor or the tailor's supply store. The
suits should be packed away in these
boxes before moths begin to fly and
then every open crack should be pasted
together by means Of strips of gumrned
paper such as can be bought in rolls
for very small price. The tailor
boxes may be kept on hand from wear
to year for this purpose.
