students finishing the two-year
course of the Game Conservation
Institute, located at Clinton, New
Jersey. This school is devoted to
teaching wild game production and
game keeping. Owing to the liberal
financial assistance given by those
interested in the restoration and
increase of ring-necked pheasants,
Bob White quail, Hungarian par
tridges and wild ducks and geese,
the only expense paid by those who
enroll is a moderate sum for board.
Tuition, quarters, books, equipment
and everything else required are
furnished free. A number of young
men and those up to forty-five years
of age are making application for
enrolment in the new class which
will start early in September.
Think About Your Market-Flrst
1t is as much the one-cent saving
as the one-cent profit that enables
many businesses to continue. A
Department of Commerce specialist,
DR.. Frank M. Surface, has made the
statement, based upon Government
figures, that anywhere from eight
to ten billions of dollars are lost
every year through avoidable wastes
in marketing. One of these wastes
is the attempt of manufacturers to
distribute their products in uneco-
nomic territories. 1t is often as
sumed that supply of raw mater
ial, or adequate labor or power, are
all that is necessary to make a fac
tory successful. Really the most
important thing is the ability of
the factory to sell what it produces.
The same problem is in all industry
more or less at one time OF another.
Many manufacturers are at high
tides of success one year. Then
fashion DEGREES a change and next
year there is no demand for their
products. Or they have goods and
do not know how to get market.
There is hint for Chambers of
Commerce all over the land.
Midsummer Painting
In spite of our emancipation from
the arduous household tasks of our
grandmothers, we are still slaves to
many habits which are founded on
precedent instead of convenience.
Why, for instance, do most of us
have our homes painted in the
spring or the fall-both busy sea-
sons of the year-when it is often
far more convenient to have it done
in the unhurried days of summer?
The answer to this lies in the erron-
eous but widespread belief that
painting is a seasonal proposition
and it never occurs to us to break
away from this established rule.
So, if spring passes by without the
necessary renovations, we put OFF
the job until fall as matter OF
course.
But summer is not only a more
convenient time for painting in
many households-it is just as sat
isfactory as any other season, where
the job itself is concerned. In
painting the exterior, weather con-
ditions are, of course, important;
the temperature should be between
40 degrees and 80 degrees and the
air free from dampness. But dry
weather is not confirmed to one
period of the year. Summer has its
portion Of clear days, just like any
other season.
Then, too, summer is vacation
time. Some member of the family
is sure to be away and the vacated
bedroom may be repainted with
much less trouble than when it is
occupied. Indeed, the whole house
is often abandoned all day, for we
stay outdoors during the warm
months as much as we possibly can.
In addition to this, the painter is
less likely to be rushed with work
in the summer, which means that
you don't have to wait on his con-
venience and are assured of his un-
divided attention.
But, after all, the condition of
the house, not the season of the |
year, should be the deciding factor.
When the old paint begins to show
signs of wear-that is the time to
put on the new.
Digging bitches
Conservative estimates state that |
there are many acres of land in this
country that represents nothing but
waste, due to the lack of proper
drainage. Too many people shy at
the thought Of draining their lands
because of their recollection of, the
pick and shovel, the Oldest known
sools for ditching. Therefore vast
acres are allowed to remain in
useless condition just to save back
for the owner, and his
helpers. There are many wonderful
stories told of the modern methods
If restoring swamp and wet lands
~ ditching with dynamite. Two
Methods are commonly employed in
blasting bitches. By what is known
Is the propagation method a single
is primed and the shock
rom the cartridge explodes a
tring of other cartridges. By the
lectric method many holes are
,rimed with an electric blasting
ap. These are connected in circuit
nd all are fired simultaneously by
1eans of a blasting machine. The
uPont Company at Wilmington
ave organized an Agricultural Ex-
ension Service under the direction
f Larry Livingston, who perhaps
irected the clearing of more land
