and two parts by weight of corn
and cob meal will do very well.
Where the hay is not plentiful, a
mixture of one part cotton seed
meal, one part bran with four parts
ground grain has been satisfactory
Where soybeans are available, they
may be ground and substituted in
the above formula for the cotton
seed meal.
Q-How much honey should be
left in a honeybee hive to provide
winter food for the colony?
A-At least 80 pounds of honey
should be left for each colony. 1t
is better to provide As pounds and
thus insure the proper building up
of colonies in the spring.
-Bedbugs have been bothering
in tenant house for years and we
seem unable to get rid of the pests.
What can we do to kill them?
A--When bedbugs have become
well established in house ordin-
ary control measures, such as the
use of commercial fly sprays or
kerosene often do not kill the bugs.
The only satisfactory way to- be-
come rid of them is to fumigate
with the poisonous cyanide gas.
The special instructions which are
necessary before attempting to use
this treatment may be obtained by
writing to the Entomology Depart
ment, Agricultural Extension De-
partment, University Of Delaware,

burning through and the fire fall
ing among the printing material in
the Office of The Smyrna Times.
The fortunate circumstance con-
nected with this building, and what
is generally conceded saved it from
destruction, was the fact that town
water service had been introduced
into the Times office, and with the
aid of a small hose connected to a
faucet nearby, and knocking holes
through the ceiling, the fire could
be fought from the inside, and in
a manner that could not be reached
by the large hose, especially when
it was so greatly needed on the
outside. 1t was nearly four o'clock
before the fire was gotten under
complete control. The night was
cold and the water froze the cloth
ing Of a number of the firemen
stiff, some of them drenched to the
skin, but they stood their ground
nobly and fought it out to the end.
The water works came in for an
unstinted share Of praise, every
body giving them the credit for
saving the town from a serious de-
struction of property.

Q-Can good calves be raised on
pellets or calf meal?
Ayes. These materials con-
tain food that is probably satisfac-
tory. However, any calf worth
raising should be fed whole milk
for at least month after birth and
the change from milk to pellets or
calf meal should be gradual, ex-
tending through a week or more.
Q-What is the best method of
cleaning the inside and outside of

A solution of soda in luke

MISHAP OF SILO
GAS PREVENTED
By Proper Ventilation Dang
er of Explosion Can Be
Eliminated
URGE CARE BY FARMERS

WaShlngtOn.-BecauS Oh the pos
sible presence of suffocating gases
soon after silage has been stored,
entering silo is considered partic-
ularly dangerous at that time, says
DR.. David J. Price, chemical en-
gineer of the bureau of chemistry
and soils, who recently investigated
a case in Maryland, wnere three
lives were lost in pit silo.
The greatest danger comes, the
bureau engineer says, when large
quantities of carbon dioxide gas are
generated during the fermentation
that always takes place when corn
ensilage is placed in the silo. This
fermentation, which begins immedi-
ately after the ensilage is put in,
may continue for several days. The
excess amount of carbon dioxide
often lowers the oxygen content of
the air to such point that persons
entering the silo will suffocate.
Source of Danger.
The pit silo, with its lack of venti-
1ation, is the source of greatest
danger. The air in the above
ground silos may be regulated by
keeping one of the many doors open
near the surface of the silage. Care
should be taken to open the door as
near the silage level as possible
after it has had time to settle.
The presence of dangerous gases
may be detected easily by lowering
a small animal or fowl into the silo
before any one enters, DR.. Price
points out If the atmosphere is
dangerous the animal or fowl will
be affected but may be revived
when brought back into fresh air.
No attempt should be made to enter
the silo until the gases have been
removed by agitating the air or by
proper ventilation.
This can be accomplished by
using a blanket, piece of canvas, a
limb of tree or similar devices to
circulate the air and remove the
carbon dioxide. AS the carbon di-
oxide is heavier than air it is like
ly to settle just above the silage and
remain until the silo has been aired
properly.
Methods of Rescue.
No one should enter the silo while
the fermentation is in progress, DR..
Price cautions, unless others are
present to render necessary aid in
case of an accident. If it is neces-
sary to rescue a person overcome
by gas in a silo, rope sould be tied
securely to the person entering so
that he can be removed promptly.
If possible the air should be agitated
quickly before he enters.
In cases of suffocation from silo
gases the person affected should be
removed as quickly as possible and
artificial respiration given immedi-
ately, the bureau engineer says.
The person is suffering from lack
of oxygen and the artificial respira-
ton permits fresh air to enter the
lungs.
The prone pressure method for
artificial respiration is recommend
ed by the United States public
health service. In this method the
victim is placed face downward
with his nose and mouth to the air
by turning the head to one side.
The bad air is forced out of the
lungs by the operator alternatingly
applying and releasing pressure on
the back about the level of the
lower rib.

81 Pct. Reject Easy Money
Idea; Few Expect to
Become President
By coRRINNE HARDESTY
Halted Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-CUP)-
The rosy dream of every school
boy that he'll be president, or at
least a millionaire, has been re-
placed, as a result of the depreS-
sion. bv the attitude that jobs are
hard to get and money difficult
to earn.
Helen X. Mccormack, of the
University of Chicago school of
business, announced that 40 per
cent of 1880 students surveyed
feared they would be unable to
get Jobs of any kind; 81 per cent
expected to work hard for all the
money they ever get, and 81 per
cent rejected completely the idea
that money is easy to earn.
Miss Mccormack. who made the
survey among Kansas City school
children of high, medium and low
income groups, said the attitude
that money was hard to earn was
common to all groups. More stu
dents in the high income group,
than in the low, feared they would
be unable to get jobs Of any
kind. More boys than girls enter
tanned this fear.
MENTAL CONFUSION SHOWN
1.-THE fact that 81 per cent of
the students rejected the idea
that times are always hard for
most persons" Miss Mccormack
pointed out, Indicates that this
skepticism and fear are due TO
the children having lived through
n severe economic depression.
Thirty-two per cent thought times
were always hard and 10 per cent
said they did not know"
Although $50 per cent believed
"every good citizen should be
self-supporting" only 6.5 per cent
said they would rather have mon
ey than anything else in life.
More than 20 per cent believed
in taking investment risks" and
81 per cent believed in buryinS
their money to keep it safe.
Students from the high income
group knew more about money
than students from the other two
groups, with boys exceeding girls
in this knowledge. Those who

r,r,cd for their farming methods
fhot produced \ garden spot Of
the world" are to adopt new SCI
cntific measures to preserve thelr
land from erosion. =,
In the past, the Mennonites and
other sects Of the "plain people"
had believed their land solid and
indestructiblc, but recent tests by
the U. S. department of agricul-
tnrc have revealed that their rich,
fertile soil was washing away
from the fields into creeks and
rivers.
Specialists from the department
tested woodland areas where trees
guard the soil completely. They
compared their findings with test
soil from sloping cornfields, and
the results showed several inches
less soil on the corniields than in
the woods.
OLD DAMS CHECKED
Erosion control engineers
checked dams on the historic Pc
quea creek, where the first col
ony of Mennonite farmers cleared
land early in the 18th century.
They found huge silt deposits
which proved to be remains of
topsoil that for many decades had
produced the rich corn, tobacco
and other crops which have made
Lancaster county synonymous
with good farming.
Although slow to adopt any
changes from the methods used
by their forefathers, the "plain
people" have gradually been in
fluenced to bring into use meas
ures advocated by the soil con-
servation service in its watershed
demonstration project in the
county.

GOVERNORS NEW
CAR last WORD"
Custom-Built Lincoln Sedan
Will Be Delivered With
in Few Weeks
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
I'm the Sir Walter Hotel.
81, r. TIA II IT'D VIII.

Raleigh, May 6.-The order has
been approved and placed for a new
custom-built Lincoln sedan for the use
of Governor Clyde r. HOey and to re-
place "Old Number One" the present
Lincoln sedan used by former Cover
nor j. c. 3. Ehringhaus and which
has been run about 10000 miles in the
last four years. It has been customary
for good many years to permit each
incoming governor to buy new Of
fetal car, supplied by the State as
part of the appurtenances attached
to the office of governor.
The new car, which will be deliver
ed in about three weeks, is the finest
and most expensive ever purchased
by the State for one of it's governors.
The total cost of the new car, includ-
ing all of the additional equipment,
is $6,015.93, although the net cost will
be salts, since the State was allowed
$3.50 for the present car, which will
be traded in. The new car will have
a 12-cylinder $50 horsepower motor
and a 145-inch wheel base, with a
special custom-built body.
AS additional equipment, the car
will have heaters in both the front
and rear compartments, radio with
rear seat controls, large touring truck
fitted with travelling cases, tailored
lap robe, with the State seal mono
grammed on it, and other special
equipment. 1t will be by far the most
luxurious automobile the State has
ever provided for a governor. The
board of awards, which opened the
bids and awarded the contract, main
tained however, that the State should
provide a car for the governor in keep
ing with the dignity of the office and
hence should get the best that could
be obtained.
