Repainting Metal

When repainting metal which still
retains all or part of an old finish
coating, it is highly important that
all bare or worn spots be cleaned
down to the metal by wirebrushing,
sandpapering, or sand blasting, and
that all loose or scaling paint be
similarly removed. The bare spots,
after cleaning, should be treated like
new metal with a printing coat and
any remaining glossy surfaces of old
paint should be rubbed dull with
sandpaper to promote adhesion of the
new paint, which should be applied
only when the surface to be coated
is perfectly dry and when the tenn
perature is between so and 70 de-
grees. Care in avoiding the applica-
ton of paint to surfaces which are
too cold is especially important in
the case of metal, to insure per-
manent adhesion and freedom from
peeling, scaling, or cracking of the
new coating.

Cattle Industry Tends
Toward Grassy Areas

The cattle industry tends to fol-
low closely those areas where grass
grows naturally and where its pro-
dIction is encouraged. Nutritious
grazing is the foundation on which
successful cattle production a be
developed. The cattle industry COM
prises a number of distinct enter
prises, meeting therefore, a wide
variety of conditions. Such enter
prises include the production OF
milk-fat or feeder calves, feeder
steer production, baby beef produc-
ton, the finishing of calves as ultra
baby beeves, the finishing of steers
on pasture and in feed-lot, and the
production of registered stock for
the improvement of commercial
herds.
All beef cattle enterprises PROVIDE
an excellent method for marketing
forage such as grass, hay, sllage
and slower. The type of beef cattle
enterprise will be determined large
ly by the farming area, crops pro-
duced, markets and experience, Il
nancial position and preference OF
farmer.
The availability of land and size
of farm are factors which mostly
determine the adaptation of a beef
cattle enterprise. The production OF
cattle also enables farmers to
make use of otherwise idle lands
which often can be made to return
an income in grass. Cattle produc-
ton by diverting lands from clean
cultivated crops provides an eff
fective method of controlling ero-
sion. The abundance of grazing
varies widely by type-of-farming
areas and soil types.

Mice Had Role
In Atomic Bomb Project

BAR HARBOR, MAINE. - More
than $4,000 Maine-grown mice were
part of the Manhattan project which
developed the atomic bomb, it was
disclosed here.
DR.. Clarence c. Little, president
and director of the Roscoe B. Jack
son Memorial laboratory, a cancer
research organization which raises
mice for medical experimentation,
told the annual meeting of the lab
oratory that the war department
received a large share of the 312,-
844 mice shipped from the labora-
tory in the last year.
Between $1,000 and $1,000 went to
Manhattan project, he said, to deter
mine if irradiation from the ele-
ments used in manufacture of the
bomb would have any effects upon
workers in the atomic bomb plants.
The army still is continuing ex-
periments with the mice, DR.. Lit
tie said, to determine if irradiation
would effect either the mice exposed
to it or their descendants. The final
report on the experiments, he said,
will not be made for a long time.

No matter how well a lunch is
planned and prepared, it a lose
much of its appetite appeal if poorly
packed. Soggy or dried out sand
witches or wilted salads result I'M
less the foods are carefully pack
aged and packed. If tight covers
are not available, waxed paper
should be tied over the tops of small
jars or waxed paper cups of salads
and desserts. Wrap lettuce for sand
witches separately to prevent its wilt
ing. Most kinds of fruit and vege-
tables stay fresh longer if washed,
dried and then wrapped in waxed
paper. Pack jars, whole fruit and
other heavy food at the bottom of
the box. Arrange its contents close
ly so they will stay in place. Extra
seasoning, a cup or paper straws
may be needed.

Indian Camps Believed
Cause of Mountain Balds

Altitude Climber line) is not the
answer why Appalachian mountain
tops from 1000 to 5000 feet high
will not support trees for both Mt.
Mitchell and Clingman's Dome, both
nearly 1000 feet high, are timbered
to the top. In 1888, w. A. Gates of
Louisiana State university, discov-
cred twig gall wasps laying their
eggs in oak trees on mountain tops,
which eventually killed the timber,
and so concluded that the wasps
are the real BARRIERS of the balds.
But DR.. B. w. Wells, botanist at
North Carolina State college, sticks
to his theory that certain mountain
tops were favored camping spots
of Indians, and that they continual
ly burned off the tops to furnish
space for their villages, and also
to provide themselves with I'M
DISTRACTED lookout points. He points
out that the balds are always gently
sloping tops, none of them rugged
or precipitous, and that usually,
too, they ri on the southern (pro-
tected) side of slopes, and that often
strong flowing springs r nearby.
In other words, they were ideal
tenting grounds for the aborigines.
DR.. Wells continues that after a
natural fire in the mountains, the
arboreal succession is of "fre
cherry" which under repeated fire
succeeds itself in basal shoot regen-
Grafton. Thus, he concludes, natural
fire itself cannot explain the balds,
and hence the grass sub-climax
must result from human (Indian) in
reference.

Fire Prevention

One of the best means Of fire pre-
vention on the farm is running wa
ter under pressure, says the Plumb
ing and Heating Industries bureau.
A few gallons of water sprinkled on
a fire when it starts is more eff
fective than 10000 gallons after a
fire gets under way, the bureau as
serts. An electric water system
provides the pressure necessary to
extinguish small fires while they
r still small. Hydrant outlets
should be located on all sides of the
barn and at strategic points for the
rest of the buildings.
