CARE URGED In
STORING SOY BEANS
CONFINED from First Pagel

[COHtinHed from First Pagel
All seed deteriorates or loses via
bility more rapidly under warm,
moist conditions than when stored
in a dry, cool place, the agricultural
agent asserts. Tests have shown that
seed of any given moisture content,
whether the moisture is high or low,
maintains its vitality much longer at
30 degrees Fahrenheit than at 80 de-
gTees. Likewise, if two lots of seed
of different moisture content are
kept at the same temperature, the
seed with the lower moisture con-
tent maintains its vitality, or ability
to germinate and grow, the longer.
Experiments in storage of soy
bean seed conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
vealed that beans stored at a tenn
perature bf S6 degrees Fahrenheit
with IS per cent moisture we're dead
or practically worthless for seed in
six weeks time, while beans contain
ing only half as much moisture and
stored at the same temperature re-
tanned their vitality for is months
before they began TO weaken notice
ably.
On the other hand, beans with Is
per cent moisture were kept equally
well for is months in a temperature
OF so degrees Fahrenheit, and at &C.
degrees showed no evidence Of loss
of vitality due to storage. A temper
ature of only IA degrees also proved
entirely satisfactory for storage of
beans with varying moisture content
up to IS per cent. indicating that
there is little danger of the beans
getting too cold under ordinary farm
storage in West Virginia.

START SANITATION PRO-
GRAM In NEW CASTLE

[COBtiHHed from First Pegel
property owners who might find
this a considerable burden at this
time.
The object of the project is to do
away with insanitary privies in un-
severed areas in the various towns
In New Castle county, and at dair-
les, service stations, and other places
throughout the countryside.
The recent occurrence of several
cases of typhoid fever in various sec
tions of the State-a disease directly
attributable to insanitary conditions
lis considered by health authorities
to be very good evidence of the need
for such work throughout the State.
This project differs. from the com
munity sanitation work done IN
MillsbOrO and Milton, where the
whole cost of the improvement was
borne by the individual property
owners, whereas in this case the la
Dor costs are met by the Federal
Government through the Works
Progress Administration
Groups Of carpenters and labOrers
have begun work in the city of New
Castle, and the placement Of sanitary
privies has been started in that
area; from there the project is to
spread to other unsewered areas. A
representative of the U. s. Public
Health Service is assisting in start
ing this project.
Similar projects have been sub
nlitted to the Works Progress Ad-
for Kent and Sussex
counties. but are partly contingent
upon the establishment, in those two
lower counties, of sufficient roll of
certified relief cases. from which the
necessary labor may he drawn.
