Toads Unnerve City

The city of Ansonia, Conn.,, has
become a sleepless and unnerved
town because toads have returned
there and are now playing an en-
core, which the citizens thought was
wiped out several years ago. Fifty
thousand dollars was spent on a
drainer project in an effort to keep
the toads out, but heavy rains re-
filled the pond basin and made it a
breeding place. The toads soon
learned about it and the city is
again plagued.

Cross Ventilation

Cross ventilation should be pro-
vided for any space inclosed by
foundation walls, whether it be eX-
cavated or not. Where provision is
not made for circulation of air with
in inclosed spaces next to the ground
surface, dampness accumulates and
timber decays rapidly. Openings
for the admission of air help to
prevent such decay and increase the
life of the structure. The total area
of such openings should not be less
than z per cent of the ground area
inclosed.

Early Cultivation

Early cultivation, very close to
the vegetable plants, followed often
enough to prevent weed growth, will
eliminate the necessity of much hano
hoeing which is expensive, says
Charles K. Hallowell, Philadelphia
extension representative. Shallow
cultivation always is safe rule to
follow, in order to avoid loss OF
roots which take water and fertility
from the soil to the vegetable plants.

Holes in Screen

Holes in widow screening, if not
too large, can be repaired with
small patches of screening. Unravel
the edges of the patching piece,
bend the protruding wires at right
angles to the piece, place over the
hole so that the bent wires stick
through the screening, then bend
back these wires to hold the patch
in place. Sewing through and
through the screening with piece
of wire will also make a neat repair.
