WARNING
to PROPERTY OWNERS

TODAY letter came to my desk that
Il deeply impressed me. 1t was written
by a woman = the mother in typical
American family. Her little home had
been saved from foreclosure by coat of
new paint, for which part of their meager
savings had been paid.
Those few gallons of fresh paint had so
revived the appearance and enhanced the
value of the property that the mortgage
had consented to renew the loan :. and
the little home was saved.
I could not help thinking of the thousands
of homes and buildings that are shabby
and unattractive today due to several years
of neglected painting; of the millions of
home owners who, because of reduced
incomes and enforced economy, have been
obliged to sacrifice painting for taxes, in
terest, assessments, to say nothing of food,
clothing, heat and other essentials of COM
fort and health.
You have seen these paint-starved houses
and buildings, as have I. They are every
where about you. Perhaps your home is
included.
Do you understand what they signify? Do
you realize what will happen to wood or
metal that is literally naked of paint if these
houses and buildings face the attack of
another season of rain, snow, ice, and frost?
Never in the history of our country has
the situation been paralleled. Property
owners face an added burden of expense
amounting to millions of dollars for repairs
and requirements next spring.
And the crisis, in my opinion, will be
reached this coming vinterwhen paint of four,
five, and even six years exposure to the
weather will be unable to resist the elements
when badly weathered wood and metal
will be easy prey for rot, rust and decay.
Today the big question facing thousands of
property owners is plain. 1t is '.baint or
pay. Either you must invest little this fall
in new paint or you must take the risk of

Move to Have Animals
Classified nv Records

The various breed associations are
rapidly moving away from the idea
that an animal is necessarily superior
because 1t can be registered. Prac-
tically all dairy breed associations now
have classifications within the breed,
based on milk records and inspection
for individual excellence. At the last
meeting Of the Jersey Cattle club Of
the United States. for instance. it was
decided to establish a tested sire list.
A bull becomes eligible for this list
when he has ten tested daughters that
have qualified. The tested sire be-
comes automatically a superior sire
when the total number of his tested
daughters shall equal or exceed so
per cent Of all daughters registered,
four years old or over, and whose
average production, figured on a ma
ture basis, shall be 600 pounds butter
fat or more. Another important
change adopted by the meeting was a
comprehensive plan for the inspection
and classification of Jersey herds. A
herd, at the request of its owner, will
be inspected by competent judge and
classified in one of six different
classes. Even with these progressive
measures, the Jersey fraternity across
the line have not yet advanced as far
as a couple of other breed associa-
tons.

Bean Beetles Common

Ohio has been experiencing severe
attacks in gardens this year from the
Mexican bean beetle, which is a cop
per-colored insect about one-fourth
inch long and with Is spots. This
southern visitor which has become
common in Ohio only in recent years
may be controlled by spraying with
calcium arsenate at the rate Of one
pound of the arsenate and two pounds
of Migrated lime in so gallons of wa
ter, says the Ohio Farmer. The same
poisons may be busted before bean
pods form on the plants.

side Of the bean leaf. and hence it is
essential that the leaves be sprayed
or busted thoroughly to get the poison

Special Treatment of
Fence Posts Advisable

Cutting fence posts In the woods and
placing them in the ground q few
days later, without barking or curing
them, constitutes a great waste both
Of posts and labor. Posts should be
cut several months before they are
set, and it is especially important that
the bark be removed.
The life of fence post is, of course,
Influenced by a number of other fac
tors besides those mentioned, such as
the amount Of heartwOod and sap
wood it contains, the rate at which
it has grown, the kind of soil in which
it is set. The most durable woods are
Usage orange. white oak, mulberry, red
cedar and black locust. When these
woods are parked and properly cured.
they will last from 20 to 80 years un-
der ordinary conditions. Quicker
growing and softer woods, after being
cured, should be treated with creosote.
When this is thoroughly done, they
will last as long as harder woods.
A fence post from which the bark
has not been removed holds the mois-
ture which is absorbs in rainy sea-
sons, thus making conditions favor
able for bacterial and fungus growth.
Moisture held between the bark and
the wood furnishes an ideal place for
the growth Of Notwithstanding fungi
and insects that shorten the life Of
the post.-Wallace's Farmer.

Fall Planting

Several readers ask whether rasp-
berries and other brambles may be set
in fall. This is practical. and often
more convenient than in spring. After
the leaves have dropped in fall. plant
is in condition to set. The earth may
be made very firm around the roots
when setting. which is good advice
with regard to the handling Of most
herbaceous plants and trees. One dis
advantage in fall setting is that in
very windy places they may be racked
around in winter before getting root
hold. Firming the earth around the
roots helps avoid this. Cutting back
as much as the tops will stand also
gives less surface for the wind to
work on. A forkful of manure scat
tered around on the surface is use
full, both as mulch and for fertility

Many Good Points
for Trench Silos
Invaluable Farm Accessory
Easy to Construct, and
Lasting.

cialist. North Carolina State Col
lege.--WNU Service.
While no definite experimental work
has been done in testing the trench
silo in North Carolina, indications are
that this type of silo may be useful
because of the economy in construc-
ton and the need for more silos along
with increasing dairy development in
the state.
The trench silo is being used by an
Increasing number Of Georgia, Missis-
sippi and South Carolina farmers. 1t
has long been used in the western
states and has proven very satisfac-
tory. believe the type has a wide
adaptation in this state, especially
among owners of small herds. Every
farmer keeping few dairy cattle
needs a silo of some kind, for the rea-
son that about 80 per cent of the feed
is lost when harvested and fed dry.
Using silo eliminates this loss.
Four advantages of the trench silo
may be listed First, 1t costs little
to construct The roof and the labor
for digging are the main items Of ex-
pense. The average cost of construct
ing Is such silos in South Carolina
during 1880 was 95 cents ton capac-
ity. On this basis it would cost $3.50
to construct 30-ton silo which would
hold enough silage for eight to ten
cows.
The second advantage is that the
trench silo is easily constructed. The
labor aDd tools generally found on the
farm may be used. Third. 1t is easy to
eli. The vertical filling equipment is
not needed. Finally, the trench silo
cannot blow down, regardless of size.

Fight the Rats

An increase in the infestation Of
rats on farms is reported by those who
are concerned in rodent control work.
A large quantity of food on farms,
such as corn and other grains, etc.,
is given as the reason for the increase.
Rats can destroy much grain and
cause considerable loss on farm,

dispositions.
Under such unusual conditions it is
not uncommon for calves to refuse to
drink when they are away from home,
and the calf may become gaunt and
listless. Such calves show poorly. To
overcome the possibility of such a
condition, All calf-club exhibitors
should teach their calves to drink
skimmilk. The milk helps the calf to
grow and also helps give the calf the
finish that only well-fed animal pos
sesses. In addition to being q good
feed, the desire for skimmilk prevents
the calf from refusing to drink, for
the desire for the milk overcomes the
distaste Of the strange water. Skim.
milk can be made at the fair by add
ing one pound Of dry skimmilk to
nine pounds of water.
For week or ten days before the
show. the calf should be fed as she
is to be fed at the show. This pre-
vents sudden changes which may
throw the calf off feed. If possible,
take hay to the show. Dry mixed
timothy-clover hay is better for calves
that are hauled a considerable dis.

repair the damage done by rot, rust and
decay this winter.
Even at the sacrifice of other things, have
your house or buildings completely
reprinted now. No investment you can
make will pay better dividends. And nothing
you can buy will make you and your family
feel so uplifted and cheerful.
fyou cannot arrange to doa complete repaint-
ing job now, at least give the badly weathered
places a coat or tsUo ofprotecting paint.
Look especially, to the window stills, thresh-
olds, outdoor porches and steps; the joints
of porch ratings and palings; the bases Of
pillars; the edges of caves; the roof; the
cutters and down spouts. These are the vifal
spots where water lodges where ice and
frost settle-where rot and rust attack first.
Anew dollars worth of good paint, applied
now, will protect these vital spots-will tide
you over this crucial winter. And it will
probably save you much greater expense
for repairs and requirements next spring
and summer.
Under existing conditions, you may be
tempted to buy cheap paint because of
its low price. I hope you will not make
this costly mistake.
Even on sound lumber, inferior paint is
poor bargain. But on weathered wood,
which is very porous, such paint is worse
than useless. 1t gives you false feeling of
security and leaves you without protection.
Prices of well-known, established brands
of paint are now the lowest in fifteen years.
Enough good, dependable paint can be
purchasedfo a few dollars to protect all the
badly weathered surfaces on your building.
Again l repeat, do complete job this fall
ifyou can. But at least do the vital exposed
places before it is ''to0 late"

CARNERA TUMb[ES
PORTUGUESE GIANT
Scrap Is Stopped in Sixth
Round After Santa Is
Thrice FIoored.

By the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, November 19.-The
nj loud thump heard round Mad
" ison Square Garden last night
was Jose Santa hitting the
canvas in the sixth round Of his 10
round bout with Primo Camera.
The 247-pound Portuguese had visit
ed the resin dust twice before, but not
quite SO emphatically. Consequently,
when he ponderously hoisted his 6-foot
8-inch frame to something approaching
the perpendicular again, Referee Jed
Gahan stepped in, halted one Of the
most amusing fistic spectacles in Gar
den history and awarded Camera the
victory on a technical knockout.
Just about 5000 persons turned out
for the battle of the behemoths and
spent hilarious evening watching the
two giants make passes at one another.
Except for the first round, when
Santa landed a couple Of rights to the
body, it was all Camera. The 2701a-
pound Italian belabored Jose unmerci-
fully throughout most of the rest of the
duel, flooring him for counts of eight
in the second and third rounds and
then putting him down for nine in the
sixth before Gahan called a halt after
l minute 10 seconds of the round.
Still the Portuguese put up much
better fight than the experts had ex-
pected. They had anticipated an early
ending, perhaps in the first round. but
Santa took his beating gamely and kept
coming back for more until the flesh
could stand no more. His best weapon
was his right, with which he led, con-
trary to all the precepts of the game
and much to the discontinue Of Car
nera.
Santa explained his defeat after the
match by saying he had received a
fracture of the left knee.
