BLAST MOVES POTATOES

potato combines are just around
the corner" is an optimistic forecast
reaching the U. s. Department of Ag-
riculture from Maine where the po-
tato is a high ranking crop.
The State extension service notes
that a newly developed machine used
in Penobscot County this fall picked
and bagged potaties at little more
than half the cost of picking them by
hand in field where there were no
rocks
Inventors have had trouble in de-
veloping potato picking machine,
because machine cannot tell pota-
TO from rock. Now along comes a
combine that can do just that. Tke po
tatoes PASS over table and under a
strong blast of air, The air blast rolls
the potatoes off into barrels. The
rocks being angular, and heavier, do
not roll and are carried off the table
and back to the field" says the re-
port from Maine.

FEEDING THE BABY

Milk-especially breast milk
contains almost everything that a
young baby needs for nourishment.
Very early in his life, newborn baby
can be given foods that will supply
the other things he needs.
When a baby is two weeks old he
can be given citrus juices and tomato
juice to help him grow and keep well.
These juices contain vitamin G, an
element necessary for health and
normal growth. Freshly squeezed,
unsweetened orange or grapefruit
juice, which has not been left stand
ing, contains the most vitamin G. To-
mato juice is just as good for baby
as orange juice and is sometimes
easier to get But remember that it
takes twice as much tomato juice as
orange Juice to get the same amounts
of vitamin c.
Most doctors recommend tea
spoonful of orange juice every day
at two weeks old. A suggested sche-
dule, if your doctor agrees, is to give
one teapsoonful daily at two weeks;
two tablespoonsful Zone ounce) at
four weeks; two ounces daily at six
weeks, and three ounces daily at
eight weeks.
Another vital food given to the
baby at two weeks is some sort of fish
liver oil recommended by your doc
tor Fisk liver oils supply vitamins
A and D. These vitamins will help
your baby to rest well, form hard
bones, grow strong and tall, form
straight legs and we'll developed
chest.
The amount you give your baby
will depend upon your doctors advice
and the kind of oil you are to use.
Doctors usually suggest startign with
few drops and working up to full
dosage they prescribe.
Sunshine is also source of vita
min d. Ask your doctor about sun
baths for your baby Fish liver oils
should be continued through the
summer months, even if the baby
does take sun baths, under the direc-
ton of the doctor. 1t is advisable to
give the oil alone, rather than to mix
it with other foods, so that the baby
can learn to like the taste.
Milk, plus these two important ad-
ditions. will give the baby the food
he needs until the doctor says to give
TIE baby strained, pureed and chop
ped solid foods, sometime between
the third and fourth months.

THE MARYLAND FARM FRONT

Maryland farmers will have a
chance to exercise their democratic
rights in a manner found nowhere
else in the world, Joseph H. Bland
ford, Director of the Maryland Pro-
duction and Marketing Administra-
ton, pointing out in announcing that
elections of local people to admins
ter the county AAA programs will be
held in the State from November 16
through November 30th. The local
county committee will determine the
exact date and place of community
election meetings, Mr. Blandford fur
ther stated.
Committees of farmers elected by
their farmer neigkbors help to plan
and accept full responsibility for the
administration of the farm programs
now handled by AAA. Local respon-
sibility in planning national agricul-
tural programs has been constantly
broadened until today committees of
farmers help to plan production poll
cies, price support programs conser-
vation programs to fill local needs,
crop protection programs through
Federal insurance of crops in the
field and then administer the pro-
grams they help plan.

DISTRIBUTION OF NEW CARS

Equitable distribution of new cars
by automobile dealers across the
country to insure fair treatment of
all elements in the market received
a statistical underscoring at Detroit,
Mich, when it was disclosed that one
out of every four 1916 Chevrolets
has been delivered to veterans of
World War II and that more than
half of all Chevrolet sales tEis year
have been made to buyers who had
no old car to trade in.
These facts were disclosed by T.
H. Heating, general sales manager of
the Chevrolet Motor Division of
General Motors Corp, who pointed
out that analyZation of Chevrolet
sales reports through August sup
ported the industry's contention tkat
veterans are receiving not only nu-
merically fair treatment in the auto
sales field, but also Eave been placed
in a preferential category on deliv-
cries.
The Chevrolet report was based on
figures from 35 of the divisions 81
zones, and represented 1882 We
hicles accounting for S3.6 per cent
of sales.
Breakdown of the figures indicates
that, in addition to 26.5 per cent of
cars for veterans, 6.6 per cent were
delivered to the medical profession
doctors, nurses, public health Off
cials; 80 percent to vital municipal
departments-fire, police, post Office,
ambulance, welfare workers; 7.6 to
essential public services-telephone,
electricity, gas, taxicab firms; IT to
buyers under General Motors Fleet
agreement. Many veterans. of course,
are included in these specialized pro-
fessional groups.
The remaining 45.7 per cent, Mr..
Heating said, were "open market"
deliveries to dealer customers.
Significant in the Chevrolet report,
Mr.. Keating added, is the fact that
81 per cent of all sales did not in
volve trade-in.

Sportsmen's Motor Boat and Travel
Show slated for an October 25th
opening in Baltimore, Md.
"This is the first such attraction
ever to appear in the Chesapeake-bay
country" advised Glenn l.. Martin,
president of the League of Maryland
Sportsmen, sponsors of the forthcom-
ing Today Sportsmen's Show.
"We are sparing no effort or ex-
pense to bring to Maryland for the
first time an epochmakihg, spectacu-
lar and educational event which will
henceforth be, by popular demand, an
annual attraction" Martin said.
With more than 200 exhibits by ma
tional manufacturers and local deal
ers, the Armory will be turned into a
veritable life-size catalogue of sporting
equipment. Everything from 40-foot
luxury cabin cruisers to the latest

POTATOES

Between November 7th and 10th,
government industry and consumer
groups will join in nationwide cam
paign to move the record-breaking
late potato harvest off the farms and
into the homes and storage facilities
of the nation. Late-crop potatoes
from Maine, New York and Pennsyl-
vania alone this year total almost
134 million bushels, which is ap-
proximately 35.5 million bushels
more than the same states produced
last year. The national crop is esti-
mated at about All million bushels.
Normally large part of late-crop
potatoes is stored for use after the
growing season. But this year stor-
age space is inadequate. Newspapers.

PUT CAR IN SHAPE FOR WINTER
DRIVING

Keeping aged motor vehicles roll
ing is going to be a more serious
problem this winter than ever before,
due to depreciation and scarcity OF
replacement parts, Keystone Automo-
bile Club warns in bulletin urging
motorists to have their cars put in
shape tor winter driving in advance
of freezing temperatures.
The Club also offers advice on how
to avoid many of the hardships en-
countered by car owners in cold wea-
ther, based on the experience of its
Emergency Road Service Depart
ment in past years.
First of all, the motorist should
make sure the battery is fully charg-
ed. Very few car owners know that
a battery showing only one-quarter
charge will freeze at 13 degrees
above zero At half-charge, it will
freeze at zero, but it is good for SO
below VIXEN fully charged.
Second, it is we'll to change from
heavy to lighter oil. Even strong
battery will have difficulty in turning
over motor begged down in heavy
OIL
Third, make sure the gas line and
carburetor are clean.
Fourth, check the ignition and
spark plugs.
Fifth, used anti-freeze mixture in
the radiator.
While keeping the car in shape for
cold weather, it is advisable to re
member that defects may continue to
develop and that frequent checking
and adjustments are necessary.

radio and other media will carry the
storage story to every consumer in
the country. Home storage of spuds,
Mr.. Blandford said, is relatively
simple A cellar, closet, back porch,
or even a barrel in the backyard can
be used, he pointed out. A dark, cool
place, where the temperature does
not rise much above 40 degrees will
prove very satisfactory for storage,
but do not let them freeze. Mr.. Bland
ford urges everyone to help relieve
the potato housing shortage by buy
ing spuds now for use later this sea-
son and storing them at home. Pota-
toes fit into any meal and replace
many Of the scarce. high-cost foods.

GOING TO A FIRE

"Going to fire? Well, don't, un-
less you're fireman." urges Key
stone Automobile Club in statement
emphasizing the hazards and handi-
caps created by motorists who clutter
up streets and impede the work of
firemen.
The Club acted in behalf of the fire
departments throughout the State
whose efforts to cope with conflagra-
tions are often seriously interfered
with by curious spectators who rush
to fire scenes in automobiles.
I'VE realize" said Edward P. Cur
ran, Safety Director of the Club,
to fire In the days before the auto
mobile. people went afoot at the first
sound of the alarm, and sometimes
early arrivals were of some help to
firemen Now, however, they drive up
in cars, double park, run over hose
lines, clutter up small streets and in
general create an intolerable nui-
sance, without contributing anything
but confusion to the situation.
"Firemen tell us that traffic jams
frequently are responsible for spread
of flames which could have been
borught under earlier control if the
streets had been kept clear for fire
apparatus.
'It IS to be hoped, therefore, that
motorists heed the advice to keep
away from fire scenes. If they can't
entirely suppress the yearning to be
closeup spectators, they ought to
park at least several block distant
and do their looking as pedestrians. y

Babson Advises Utility
Stockholders To Cash In

that, by taking over the utilities,
they can Cd get reduction in rates
through the saving Of interest char
ges, and t2) get back, within
twenty years, all they pay for the
property through the saving in fed
eral income taxes. AS the public
gradually realizes this fact, there
will be more and more properties
taken over by Authorities. Further
more, the above mentioned Depre-
citation Formula and the even more
severe Original Cost Formula may
help the public in getting these pro-
perties at bargain prices.
Just now We hear little about
public ownership in this country,
but it is spreading at rapid rate
throughout Europe and the British
Empire. Sooner or later the shadow
of Socialism will fall on the United
States. The New Deal is preparing
the ground. When 1t hits us the
utilities will be one of the first
groups to suffer. The bonds OF
public utility operating companies
should be perfectly safe; but it may
be wise for investors in utility
stocks to cash in now before their
properties are forcibly taken over
by public authorities.
