Farmers Urged To
Protect Their Grain
foontlnued from Flrst paEel

Farmers are advised to sweep
their granary and grain bins thor
oughly before the new grain is stor-
ed. Where necessary the bins
should be rebuilt to eliminate holes,
cracks and other crevices in which
moths and beetles may hide. After
cleaning and repairing is complet-
ed, Amos recommends that the
bins be sprayed with a good grade
Of odorless oil fly spray and cracks
and crevices be busted with hy-
drafted lime.
: Efforts to rid buildings of rats
and mice will mean real saving
from losses by those rodents. The
moisture content of grain should
be kept low. Grain with low mois-
ture content, Amos points out, does
not favor the multiplication of the
insect pests and avoids the danger
OF the stored grain heating.
If fumigating is done the bins
should be made as alright as pos
sible and should be done on calm
warm day. The directions for the
use of fumigants should be follow
ed. Most fumigants, cautions Amos,
are harmful to man if the fumes are
hreathed in any quantity. Hence,
breathing the fumes. should be care
fully avoided.

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES
THE BOSS NEEDS YOUR HELP


In the business offices of many
commercial vehicle fleets execu-
tives have come to the studied
conclusion that safety is the cor
nerstone of successful feet opera
ton.
That conclusion is vitality i'm
portant. not only to the executives,
but to the drivers as well.
Here's the way it works out: A
firm may operate the finest vehicles
money can buy. Efficient mainten-
ance crews keep them in tip-top
shape. The product the firm makes.
sells or delivers may be of abso-
Lutte top quality, at price that's
right in a competitive field.
There may be only one leak in
this otherwise completely efficient
organization - frequent accidents
involving company drivers and We
hicles. These accidents result in
expenditures for property damage,
vehicle repair, legal fees, etc. Too
often an accident causes personal
injury or death. That means more
legal proceedings, suits, and fees.
A single accident can eat big
hole in a company's margin of pro-
fit. Sure, the insurance company
may foot the bill, but your boss,
buys the insurance and he has to
pay cold cash for it. Furthermore,
when accidents increase, insurance
costs go up.
Your job, the boss job and the
job of everybody who works for
the company depends upon main
tanning the company as success
full competitor in it's field, and at a
reasonable profit.
If protection of your own hide
alone doesn't convince you that
driving carefully is worthwhile.
look at it from the viewpoint of the
boss. who is trying to run the
in such way that you'll
have a job today and tomorrow
and for months and years to come.
Then take a private pledge to help
him by being a safe driver.

zero. The night of January II is
said to be the one which killed
most of the fruit.
In some of the orchards in the
western section of the county, es-
pecially in the vicinity of Bridge
vile, the freeze was so heavy that
it caused the bark to split on the
trees. Hundreds of trees, it is said,
are worthless in that area and will
have to be pulled up and replaced.
1t would appear on the basis of
reports that prices this year are
going to be high. One grower who
has about $500 trees, states that in
his opinion he will not get over 100
bushels from his orchard. Some of
the orchards on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland are said to have been
hard hit by the sub-zero weather,
the coldest in half a century.
Some of the older residents recall
that during the famous blizzard of
March II, 1888, that the sap of the
trees froze.

fore, were: What would fair Off
cials do in case of blackout or an
air raid? What would they do if
highways were blocked off sud
denly by military necessity? Had
they considered the, possibility of
sabotage by enemy agents in an
area where thousands of people
were gathered?
1--WE could see, then, that our
duty lay in protecting the safety of
the people," Raughley said. Thir-
ty-five directors of the fair were
present to hear Colonels Ruhlen
and LeFevre:
Loss OF $4,000
Decision to close the fair will
cause loss of more than $4,000 al
ready spent for arrangements, Mr..
Raughley said, "but this does not
bear on the problem" He added
that the job of preparing the fair
had been going on since January.
Joseph B. Eastman, defense
director in Wash
ington, had issued on June Is
request that country fairs and car
nivals be suspended to conserve
gasoline and rubber, and to avoid
congestion on limited bus and train
facilities.
In asking for postponement of
the fairs, Eastman said that farm
ers should not be encouraged to use
their automobiles for such nom
essential purposes. At two previous
meetings of the Kent-Sussex Fair
Board, it was decided to go ahead |
with their plans for three reasons.
First, they said, Eastman's com
was a request only.
Second, plans had already gone too
ar for cancellation except in case
If government order; finally, the
air would serve to boost morale of
he farmers and would not over-tax
facilities.

opened in 1920, two years after
