Professor Looks for Brand
That Washes From Wool

Paint brands put on sheep for
Identification Of ownership cause
more than $25O,000 a year damage
to manufactured goods, according to
the experts. For many years, they
say, various agencies, paint comps
MES, and chemists have tried to
evolve a branding substance that
is satisfactory to the wool grower
and the manufacturer alike, but SO
far without success.
Sheepmen must brand their sheep.
At lambing, the ewes and lambs
are given the same brand In the
same place so that later, If the lamb
Is not thriving, both mother and
lamb can be cared for. In the noun
tains during summer grazing, sheep
must be marked 30 that they will
not become lost in other flocks.
The manufacturer tries to remove
the paint brands when the fleeces
are sorted, but small bits get into the
finished cloth despite all precau-
ton, causing spots Of color that may
ruin the goods or felt manufactured.
The difficulty arises from the fact
that the sheep secretes potash salts
in its skin, and also natural oil, the
two substances from which soap is
made. Further, in the summer the
feeces are subjected to high tenn
peratures. The chemist, therefore,
has the problem Of working out a
branding substance that will not
wash out with the soap elements af-
forded by nature but that will dis
appear when washed with the manu-
facturer's soap.

Rabbits Can Be Controlled
If They Damage Crops

Rabbits may sometimes invade
home gardens and cause serious
damage, as they return day after
day to feed on the carefully tended
crops. If weeds, grass, and brush
are near the garden, these animals
are likely to cause some damage.
A good wire fence around the gar
den will keep these animals out, but
it is expensive. Furthermore the
wire for such fence is not avail
able to gardener at present.
In the country, or in suburban dis
tricts where shooting is safe, a gun
may easily be used to control rab-
bits If the law allows this where rab-
bits are damaging crops. Rabbits
are most active from twilight until
early morning.
Repellents are not often effective,
since strong chemicals of this sort
damage the plants. Nicotine sulfate
may reduce rabbit injury, but it
must be sprayed on the plants every
few days, and after every rain.
Simple box traps, baited with ap-
pie or carrot, are probably the best
means for rabbit control. Several
of these placed in the garden near
the borders where the animals en-
ter, will enable the gardener to put
stop to their damage.

Living Longer

Among primitive peoples which
live chiefly by hunting, like the Es-
kimos or the original American In
dams, representative population
might consist of about 70 per cent
minors, somewhat more than 20 per
cent adult women, and little less
than 10 per cent men, for the haz-
ards Of hunting and war reduce the
numbers of men. Adults over 65
would be rarities, although prini-
tive person who reaches 40 has
fair chance Of reaching his three
score and ten. In the United States
of 1850 the age structure was still
substantially characteristic Of past
eras, only 2.6 per cent of the popu-
1ation being 65 or over. In 1900 the
proportion was Al per cent; in 1910
1t was 6.8 per cent, and the ratio
for 1880 is predicted as approaching
Is per cent. In that year, If current
trends continue, over a quarter of
the population will be So or over.

MARYLAND's FARM FRONT

Revised rates of payment on corn
and wheat under the 1913 Agricul-
tural Conservation Program have
been announced by Joseph H. Bland
ford, chairman of the Maryland Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Agency and
USDA War Board. The new rate for
wheat is 8.5 cents a bushel and for
corn is cents bushel, applicable
to the IL commercial corn counties.
These rates replace formerly an
nounced figures of 90 cents on
wheat and SO cents on corn, he
states. The payments are made to
from these crops i'm an effort to MAIN
tain parity levels. Reductions in the
formerly announced rates have be-
come necessary due to greatly in
creased participation in the AAA
program, Mr.. Blandford says.
Maryland farmers have taken out
loans on 10000 bushels of wheat,
amounting to $2O4,478, according to
information released by the Mary
land Agricultural Adjustment Agen-
cy. This means that they net SLAB
under the loan program administer
ed by AAA for No. grade wheat
stored in terminal elevators in Bal
timore. As stated in 1.-THE Wheat
Situation" for July, 1943, this COM
pares with Canadian price to the
farmer of "a cents bushel.

Considerable confusion appears to
exist In Central Maryland as to the
proper procedure In reporting woods
fires, says State Forester Joseph n.
Kaylor. Responsibility for the con-
troll of such fires rests with the De-
partment of State Forests and Parks,
which maintains in the Office OF Dis
trict Forester Adna r. Bond, at Bel
Air, a central station from which
field men and equipment can be dis
patched to fires in an orderly man
ner and in the shortest time. Anyone
who observes smoke from q fire
should simpy say to the local tele-
phone operator. 81 want to report a
forest fire to the District Forester at
Bel Air. Please reverse the charges"
This simple procedure, Mr.. Kaylor
points out, will prevent waste effort
on the part of forest wardens and
save gasoline and tires. II 1t is more
convenient, Mr.. Kaylor says, forest
fires may be reported in a similar
way to District Forest Supervisor
Paul Seward at Aberdeen, or to Dis
trict Forest Supervisor Charles w.
Bayles, at Principle Furnace.
Recent substantial additions to
its fire fighting equipment now places
the Department of State Forests and
Parks in an especially advantageous
position to control forest fires, Mr..
baylor says, provided these are re-
ported promptly and properly.

Don't Soak Vegetables

Fresh vegetables should be washed
quickly but should not be allowed to
stand in water. Vegetables are espe-
cially valuable as a source Of vita
minis but water will extract the vita
minis before they are served. The
outer leaves of cabbage and lettuce
contain more minerals and vitamins
than the inner bleached leaves con-
tain.
Vegetables should be cooked as
short time as possible and should
be served promptly. The cooking
water will contain minerals and vi
tamins and should be used In gravies
or soups. Soda destroys some Of
the food values Of vegetables.
Vegetables cooked or baked in
their skins are better food than those
which are cooked after peeling. This
cooking method also saves time and
labor In preparing the meal. Peas
should not be shelled until they are
needed.
Tender cuts Of meat should not be
overlooked and should be cooked in
an open pan. Less tender meat cuts
should be Drowned, covered and
cooked slowly In minimum Of wa
ter, and only until tender. Eggs
should be cooked at low tempsra-
lures.

Navy Okays Milkweed

Milkweed is a nuisance in a VIC
tory garden, but the "ugly duckling"
of the cabbage-patch stands in good
stead with the u. S. navy. DR.. Bo-
ris Berkman, Russian-born Chicago
physician, has developed the pesky
weed to such an extent that today
milkweed floss is used to line life
preservers and flying suits. Strange
1y enough, milkweed floss has six
times the buoyancy Of cork, is as
warm as wool, and one-sixth the
weight of wool. Less than three
pounds of the floss can keep a heavy
man afioat for more than four days
AN accomplishment which neither
cork nor kapok can match. In
Petoskey, Mich, stands the first
processing plant for the floss. Farm
ers are now getting between $40 and
$40 per acre for the weed that is
adding to the greater comfort Of sea-
men and airmen.

JULY MILK SUPPLY DOWN

A sharp drop from June deliveries
of milk to Philadelphia distributors
and fluid milk sales continuing at a
high level, was revealed by w. P.
Sadler, Market Administrator, with
his release of the July price to far
mers for each of &c milk distribu-
tors receiving milk at 112 plants.
This regular monthly announce
ment for July shows IL handlers
with prices over $500 per cwt.; As
with prices over $3.50 per cwt.; SO
with prices over $3.50; and IA with
prices over 1910 per cwt. This as
and fluid milk sales contisuing at a
livered compares with a. Glass /
(fiuid) price of 1910 per cwt. in
July a year ago.
"The average delivery per day in
July from $3.50 farms declined to
2S1 pounds of milk from $40 pounds
per day in June, with sales Of fluid
June but about 10 percent above
July a year ago." Sadler said. "The
weighted average price +. o. b. Phila-
delphia for all milk was 1884 per
cwt. up AZ cents from the average
of $3.416 for July 1913. The total
money to be paid out to producers
by the handlers for July milk will
be about $3.00O,00O. Approximately
$25O,000 of this amount will be
covered by the Commodity Credit
Corporation under continuation of
+ha rurohoao and rosaIa nroQram in
stituted as of April H.

Counsel Women i'm Plants

The field of personnel administra-
ton in industry was virtually closed
to women prior to the war, but today
production heads find it necessary to
adjust policy and practice when en-
ployees in Stacks replace workers
in overalls. The women's counselor,
between the actual job supervisor
and the executive personnel officer,
is charged with the duty Of fostering
good employer-employee relation
ships. Successful accomplishment Of
the counselor's functions will lessen
the resentment Of foremen and male
employees against women as CO.
workers and will aid the woman In
adjusting herself to factory life.

Box Stall Desirable for
Watching Mare at Foaling

Although foaling may take place
in the pasture if the weather is mild,
disinfected box stall in the barn is
more desirable because there the
mare can be given closer attention,
says C. w. Crawford, expert of horse
husbandry.
Strict sanitary measures should
be followed at all times. The stump
of the navel cord should be inn
mersed in iodine and care should
be taken that the foal nurses within
a reasonable length of time. The
mare should be fed lightly for a
week or so to prevent the foal from
developing scours as the result of
getting too much milk. Scours can
usually be controlled by reducing
the mares feed. If the foal becomes
constipated, a warm enema or an
ounce of castor oil may be given.
If the mare is not worked, she
and the foal should run on pasture
during the summer. If no shade is
available, they can be taken up dur
ing the heat of the day. No other
feed will be necessary if the grass
is good, but salt needs to be made
available for them, Crawford points
out.
A foal should be accustomed to
eating hay and grain before wean-
ing time, usually around five or
six months of age. After learning to
eat with the mare, It can be given
a separate box for grain and the
mother can be tied up until the foal
has finished eating. Oats or oats
mixed with bran should be fed along
with good legume or mixed hay.

Draft Varies

The amount Of draft In The
chimney depends on the barometric
pressure. This varies with the
weather so that on some days the
draft will be stronger than on 9TH
ers. Thus, it is possible that on
"muggy" day there will not be SUI
ficient draft to take all the products
Of combustion out of the furnace,
If the check-draft damper has been
set for clear, windy day. BY re-
ducing the opening in the check

draft will be increased and smoke
