WINTER SAID
Time FOR ODD
JOBS ON FARM
Much Repair Work Can Be
Done Then Saving Time
in Summer
By E. T. FRISBIE


Vocational Agriculture Instructor
Winter can be utilized by the
farmer for the doing of many
small jobs around the farm. Many
farmers neglect winter farm work.
They can put off and wait to do
these Jobs and consequently have
to halt their actual operations to
do Jobs that could have been done
while other farm work was not so
urgent. All farmers know how
unnleasant it is to have to stop
and take a tool to the shop some
dav when they should be in the
field. There are many jobs that
con bn done in the winter to save
time in the cropping season.
]. In the winter tools and ma
chinery may be gone over and re-
paired when convenient, without
locs of time. The harness can be
taken down. washed and oiled.
Worn or broken parts can be re-
placed and made ready for the
spring season.
9. Since winter is the best time
of the year to work in the woods,
the years supply Of fuel can be
cut and hauled in. On many farms
, timber can be cut and hauled to
the mill to get lumber for repairs,
new buildings. or for sale.
3. The careful bedding and ham
ding of the animals on the farm
will paw extra dividends in the
form of increased production, and
a good supply Of manure to be
used for the fields. Much OF the
manure may be applied to the
fields. The application of manure
before blowing will give better
results than application at later
date.
q. Plans for the coming year,
should be made in the winter.
There is plenty of time for the
study of conditions and reports
and good plans can be devised
that will keep the farmer from
having to hurriedly try to plan
when tired from work or busy
with the events Of putting in a
crop. :,
5. The home orchard should
have some of the attention of the
farmer ut this time. 1t should be
pruned. Plans for spraying should
be made. Additional trees should
be set.
6. The farm housewife desires
many small improvements in the
home. such as lawns. shrubbery,
repairs, and many other conven-
fences that will be easier to do at
this time than any other.
7. Fences may be built and re-
paired. Soon it will be time to
sow grasses and fertilize that pas
ture if you expect it to do its best
in feeding the cows this summer.
8. Winter is a good time to
build new farm buildings and to
repair those needing repair.
There are really no idle days
for the farmer who is going to
make much success in his work.
There will always be some small
jobs that can be done to keep him
from feeling tina tthe time is pass
ing too slow.

Timely Farming
Hints Are Given
By D. w. BENNETT
Assistant County Agent

This season of the year is a
good time for farmers to plan
a good rotation for their farm.
The most successful farmers in
the county have found that a
rotation consisting of a row
crop the first year, to be fol-
lowed by small grain and les
pedeza or red clover the sec
ond year and let the land lie in
the legume the third year has
been very successful in build
ing up the farm.
Poultrymen should beware of
highly advertised chick which
they know nothing about.
Buy your lespedeza seed
early to avoid higher prices.
Now is the time to start PLAN
ming for a year-round garden.
February and March is the
best time to apply lime and
phosphate to pasture land.
The good orchardist prunes
his orchard during February.
February is also a good month
to prune bunch grapes.

NO ATTACK ON 2 NEW
DEAL ACTS ALLOWED
fContinued from page one)

Brandeis and Benjamin Cardozo.
The extent to which Stones re-
turn has broken the courts ap-
parent deadlock over several New
Deal issues which have been pend
ing a long time was not revealed
because the court failed to pass
on two closely watched cases.
One was a plea by New York
manufactures for rehearing of
the New York state unemploy-
ment insurance law, a part of the
social security program. The state
law was upheld earlier in the
term when the court split a to 4
in passing on its validity, thus
tentatively permitting the favor
able decision of New York state S
highest court to stand.
Stone, because of his liberal
record, was expected to cast the
deciding vote upholding the law
permanently when the case was
reargued. Observers believed the
court would rule on the reahear-
ing plea next Monday.
The other pending case involves
an attack on the constitutionality
of Washington states minimum
wage law for women. The court
has struck down similar laws sew
eral times.
The attack on the federal So
cial security act came from
Howes Brothers company, a Bos-
ton firm, in a complicated case in
volving the Massachusetts, unem-
ployment insurance law. The
state statute becomes imperative
if the federal social security law
goes out of existence; therefore,
the Boston firm conferred its at
tack on the constitutionality of
the federal law.

would reasonably prevent their
drying up. A gradual drop in
temperature, resulting in harden
ing of plants would probably not
affect the crop SO severely.

Quick! What color hat?"
1T should be grey said Mile, but MIR.
Cohen thinks a bright red would be more

We'll be the only out-of-date ones in the
block" Millie complained.
Herman smiled grimly. ''Dr. Lacey, the
dentist he's got some sense yet"
But in less than week the wreckers were
swarming over the doctors roof. Herman
heard the worst bravely. "Dr. Lacey" ex-
planned Mile t1imnphantly, has the cutest
idea. He's going to build great big twelve
year old molar The roots will stick in the
ground like stilts and you'll walk up a few
steps to the door. And right inside the tooth
will be DR.. Lacey's Office
And then Herman had it out with himself
and decided to 60 away. He was losing his
grip and he needed change of scene before
it was too late. His Uncle Otto, back in
Kansas was ailing and it made as good an
excuse as any.
Uncle Otto's house and barns had been
crying for paint for fifteen years, but Uncle

fifth year. He tried to resist trend.
He and Millie lived on Smith Street,
which was shabby business block on the out
skirts of Los Angeles. The stores along it were
square boxes placed at irregular intervals.
Next to Herman a confectionery store en-
tced children on their way to and from
school. Across the street Greek had citrus
fruit stand, and further down was a tiny
haberdashery. A dentist named DR.. Lacey
had his office in tiny bungalow on Herman's
left. They were all quiet, hard working
neighbors Herman and Miie lived in back
of the shop, and they were quiet and hard
working, too.
That was before Smith Street became
part of the Grand Scenic Highway The street
had been laid out a full eighty feet from
curb to curb. but at first only narrow ribbon
of concrete had been put down in the center
Then the State finished the job and Smith
Street became an eight-lane boulevard.
The day the work was finished the mayor
cut silk cord, a band played, sirens screamed,
and the first official car went through Milie
was watching from the window Herman,

Herman said nothing. His glance travelled
across the boulevard. That Greek is getting
his store fixed up some," he said
1T looks to me-" said Millie, like he is
tearing it down."
Which, it turned out, was the case. The
Workmen clawed at the store and pulled it to
bits. But even before the debris was cleared
Herman saw the building was to be replaced.
This new one, he discovered. was to have an
odd shape. 1t rounded at the top, bulged in
the center, and rounded again near the
ground. When the wire went over the frame
work and the white stucco was slapped on the
wire, Herman shook his head What kind
of lunatic." he demanded of his wife,
would build store that looks like snow
ball?"
Mile smiled. mot SNOWFALL" she told
him. IAN orange. After he gets it painted -
"Gott!" cried Herman. 'You really think
he will?
why not? An orange store in the shape
of an orange. It's very -er - progressive"
The paint went on the next day. 1t was
that CHASTITY orange they use on steel work
before they paint it black. The great ball
caught the light of the sun and the effect
was startling.
At breakfast the next morning Herman
pushed his orange juice from him. Last
night had dream" he sighed. Il dreamed

Otto hadn't gotten around to that vet.
Herman sat in the weather beaten porch
chairs, looking out over the drab farm land
scape. The fields were scorched and the leaves
OF the trees were coated with grey dust. It
was pretty colorless world. Herman sat for
a month and felt better. His nerves were
steady and he could eat again. All the way
home on the train he thought of Millie, and
longed to hold her in his arms again. He
thought of his three cozy rooms in back of
the shop and yearned to be there, with the
world shut out on him and Millie.
The taxi carried him into Smith Street and
ne gritted his teeth. Here they all we're
the giant orange, the green ice cream cone,
the red high hat the cleaning white tooth.
And here, also, was something else, standing
where his familiar square box used to stand.
1t was three stories high and one room
deep. 1t was shiny glistening black. 1t was
the exact shape of a rubber heel, and the
portfolio windows, arranged in semi-circle,
would be the places where Herman hammered
his nails. 1t was standing on its base like
huge black rubber tombstone Across its face,
in small white letters, were the words:

Beneath, in very large white letters, was:

Have you got match?" asked Herman.
The driver began to search his pockets.

Il don't smoke at ALL Herman said. But
have you got match?"
1t was a clear case of arson of course.
They took Herman off the train en- route to
Kansas and brought him back and tried him.
But the jury couldn't agree; it was eleven
to one for acquittal The man who held out
for guilty was paint salesman. The other
eleven were men who owned cars and took
their folks out riding on Sundays to enjoy the
scenery. They all Clipped in after the trial
and bought Herman ticket to Kansas and

There was silence Then Millie gave an
ecstatic sigh.
Tell me!' cried Herman Il can't stand

"Pistachio. A lovely, pale pistachio.'
That night at dinner Herman pulled all
the blinds and changed his place at table
But he couldn't eat much. All the food
seemed to have a greenish cast. Afterwards
he went to bed early. He was tossing on his
pillow when Milie came in two hours later.
