DIT With Aerosel Bomb
Makes Efficient Killer

Addition of DOT to the army's in
secticide dispenser, known among
troops in the Pacific as the aerosol
bomb, has greatly increased the eff
fectiveness of the insecticide mix
ture in that now it kills not only
mosquitoes but also disease-bearing
flies.
Composition of the new mixture is
as follows: IS per cent frcon. per
cent of 20 per cent pyrethrum
solution. per cent cyclehexanone /,
5 Fer cent lubyicating (hydrocar-
bon) oil and 3 per cent DOT.
The original aerosol. developed
early in l943 and containing pyreth-
rum, sesame oil and freon. killed
adult mosquitoes but only knocked
down other insects. With DOT add
ed. the aerosol bomb becomes an
excellent weapon in the fight against
malaria and fly borne diseases.

Vaccinating for Pox, Roup

Chicken pox and roup are likely
to occur in any flock and for this
reason it is well to vaccinate. -Four
precautions should be taken in vac
cinating:
/. Vaccinate pullets preferably
when they are two to three months
old.
2. Thoroughly mix powdered scah
material with water before using.
8. Do not confine pullets after vac
cinating. Give them a well-shaded
range. =
4. Do not vaccinate birds suffering
from diseases or parasitic infesta-
ton, or heavy losses may occur
Delay vaccination until the birds
have completely recovered from the
disease or are free from the para
site infestation.

American Food Wasted
By Average Cooking

The food we waste in the United
States constitutes the greatest reser-
voir of unused food anywhere in the
world. II is vitality needed. BY
preventing all waste, the average
family of six can save food enough
to feed adequately starving Greek,
or Pole.
From pillow to plate we waste 20
to 30 per cent of all the food we
produce. Two per cent is left unlrar-
vested on farms - we need more
volunteer harvestersl Two per cent
is lost in transportation-we need
more careful handling
In storage and in wholesale mar
kets, the loss runs as high as 7 per
cent. We need more cleanliness, bet
ter handling, less trimming and
sorting
Three to six per cent wastage &C.
ours in retail stores, partly caused
by customer carelessness in bruis-
ing and sorting the produce. Six to
nine per cent of foS3d in restaurants
is wasted We need to observe the
army rule, Take all you want, but
eat all you take. r
Finally, Is per cent of all food
taken into our homes is wasted
one meal in every seven. So from
every sl4 in the food budget thrown
away.
The greatest causes Of waste in
the home are over-buying, and fail
ure to use left-overs. Other causes
of food waste in the home are lack
of meal planning, improper stor-
age, wasteful or careless prepara-
ton, and serving too much on
plates.

Dill 10 repeal me Lana Granl
Act has prompted many 10 ask.
What is land grant railway"
In l850-l87T the federal govern
ment coded about 10000, 900 acres
of land to railways = to encourage
construction in undeveloped territory
attract settlers, increase taxable
wealth, and enhance the value of and
promote sale of government-owned
land remote from markets. "A land
grant railway is one which received
such grants. This aid was given to
less than 10 per cent of the nations
present rail mileage.
Present law requires transportation
by land grant railways OF federal
military personnel and property at
one-half the rates available 10 COM
mercial shippers Non-land grant rail-
ways by agreement with the govern
ment meet these reduced rates.
One result is a commercially
ruptive rate situation affeciingN sun
pliers of military goods. The lower
land grant rates favor the firm so
located that land grant rates apply to
its shipments and against a compet-
Ing concern so located that land grant
rates do not apply. thus requiring
payment of higher established com
Inercial rates.
Original value of the granted land
has, in the intervening years, been
repaid to the government many times
over through land grant rates.
Great Northern is not land grant
railway but meets the land grant
rates of other lines in its territory
Only such grants ever acquired by
Great Northern on its entire system
embraced some Minnesota lands be-
longing to predecessor companies
