Careful Planning Saves
Much Work i'm Garden

The gardener who picks the
easiest way to do the essential gar
dening jobs can get the work done
with few backaches and with much
less labor than the gardeners who
do not stop to think. BY planning
their work, some persons can take
care of a large garden in less time
than other, persons spend on small
ones.
For labor-saving, keep all the
tools sharp. Five minutes spent in
sharpening the hoe, the scufiie
blade on the garden cultivator, the
spade, or the lawn mower can
save hours of time on the job.
To kill weeds easily, cultivate
often when the weeds are just
sprouting. Make the cultivation
shallow, as this will kill the weeds
without harming the roots of the
crop plants. The wheel hoe with the
scuffle attachment is ideal for this
purpose, as il cuts off or kills all
the weeds between rows, and can
be used close to the row. This saves
much hand wedding.
Mulch can be used on tomatoes
and many other long-season crops.
It keeps down the weeds without
wedding, saves moisture for the
crop plants, and helps to prevent
rapid spread of some diseases.
Straw, leaves and lawn clippings
are among the good mulch mate
rails.

u. S. Initiates Program
For Producing Cork

The u. S. forest service, state de-
partments of forestry and local farm
bureau agents are cooperating with
private industry in program look
ing to future supply of cork in the
United States. This project, started
four years ago, has resulted in the
planting Of more than 100, 900 cork
oak seedlings in California alone,
and paintings are to continue.
The idea of planting cork oak
trees in this country is not new
one. Thomas Jefferson tried, unsuc-
cessfully. for 40 years to establish
the cork oak tree in the United
States. In France in 1874, he saw
cork oak trees and noted the soil
and climatic conditions under which
they grew. He shipped some acorns
to the United States but the three
and half months in transit caused
them to become moldy. He made
many other attempts to have cork
oak acorns brought to this country
and planted but was unsuccessful.
In 1853, the u. S. government
made paintings of cork oak acorns
imported from Spain. Most Of these
died from storms, insects. or lack Of
care, but a hunt through the
southern states has located several
large cork oaks of this 1858 planting.
More acorns were brought from
Spain in 1880 and distributed
through the south, and i'm California
and Arizona. A few of these trees
survive.

rubber, protective coatings and
other vital war materials in which
waste fats figure, Corners pointed
out. Further, he said, the OPA
has continued it's offer of red
ration points for each pound of
grease turned in at stores.
''The Importance of used fats
in the manufacture of the nipple
ments of war and of thousands
of products for the home front is
widely recognized" he said. "But
little is known of the miracles
being worked by military medi-
cine with the aid of converted
fats. Benton county women, in
making their contribution to this
salvage drive, may take added
satisfaction from the knowledge
that even tablespoon, or half
ounce, of used fat will help make
enough smallpox vaccine for IS
injections" -..<
Other vital medication for
which household fats are required
includes tannic acid used in treat
ment of burns, some insulins for
shock victims, tinctures of opium
and gentian to ease pain, sulfa-
diazine ointments for treating alb
rasions and fungus growths, and
nitro-glycerine tables as a heart
stimulent.

Help Produce Food

Pinch-hitting for their fathers,
brothers and sweethearts
on the beachheads, women, boys
and girls are already making their
presence felt on the food production
front, according to Roy E. Moser of
Massachusetts State college, state
supervisor of farm labor. More than
go girls representing q colleges are
working on Middlesex county mar
ket garden farms. It is the second
season for many of the group.
Thanks to the efforts of 308 boys
and girls from Amherst High, North
ampton High, St. Michaers High Of
Northampton, Easthampton High,
Northampton school for girls, Burn.
ham school for girls and Smith COL
lege, the harvesting Of Hadley's big
asparagus crop is nearing compile
ton. Many Of the l24 boys who took
the Qne-week dairy farm training
course at II. 8. c. are at work on
farms In the state. Others are await
ing the close Of school before they
take jobs which are ready for them.
Worcester county had AZ boys TAX
ing the course and thus stands to
benefit heavily. Realizing the impor-
lance Of the food production pro-
gram, school officials are cooperat-
ing to the fullest extent, releasing
boys where it is possible so that
farmers may have immediate help
In planting and caring for early
market garden crops.

Put Milk I'm Bottles

Proper handling can prevent
many Of the peculiar tastes that
often develop in the family milk
supply, says A. c. Kinney, extern
sion dairyman at N. c. State college.
He points out that the container in
which the milk is stored is Of great
importance and suggests that the
best container for milk from one or
two cows is the standard glass milk
bottle. "Just after milking, strain
the milk through three or four folds
of a good grade of cheese CLOTH"
says Kinney. Zone yard OF this
cloth is sufficient and will cost only
a few cents. Hold this cloth over the
side of the milk bucket, and strain
the milk into another bucket. 1T
can be poured from this bucket into
quart glass bottles, using q small
tin funnel to prevent spilling." He
further suggests that the bottles be
capped with standard milk bottle
caps. These caps prevent dust and
odors from getting into the milk. A
supply of caps for several months
will cost less than so cents. He also
recommends that, after the milk has
been bottled and capped, it be
placed in cold water since it cools
much more rapidly under this con.
dition than it does when placed
directly in the refrigerator or ice
box.
