DDT Injurious

LANSING, April 26-Cottage
owners planning use of DDT to
squelch mosquito buzzins near
their summer homes before il
gets started are cautioned again
by the conservation department
that the new insecticide may do
considerable harm to fish and
other wildlife.
Much is still to be learned
about proper use of DDT, but it
is known that spraying for mos
quito control can kill game fish
in the same or connected waters.
Extensive use of the spray also
has caused insect-eating birds to
desert the area for better feed
ing grounds.

fielding club adds up to big
double play totals. Boston
was weak in pitching last
season, but the club fielded
no better than fifth and it fin
jshed seventh in the pennant
race.
With more real control and
good curve ball pitchers op,
Grating this summer and with
skilled defenses behind them
II would seem enough balls
would be slashed into the dirt
to make a new double play
mark possible. But before
venturing guess, let's look
at some statistics on this
highly unpredictable depart
ment.
The Cincinnati Reds OF
1928 made 1914 double plays
for what still stands as a ma
tional League mark. That
wear the Reds followed the
nattern of good fielding, incl
fective hurting. Then con-
slider the New York Yanks OF
1941. They won the pennant.
They were strong on the
mound, with Red Rufting,
Spud Chandler, Ernie Bon
ham, Alley Donald, Lefty
Gomez, Marius Russo and
Johnny Murphy. And they
had Rizzuto and Gordon
around second. Few runners
were expected to get on, but
when the season had ended
there was a new all-time
double play record, 1876.
A factor which undoubted-
ly entered into the new mark
was the Yankee system OF
playing the infield back for
the twin killings at the sac
rifice of possibly allowing a
run to score. With Bill
Dickey, Charlie Keller, Joe
DiMaggio and Gordon in the
lineup, Manager Mccarthy
had the kind of power club
which had a habit of getting
back that run most any time.
During the past 10 years in
the American League, the
club lowest in double plays
finished sixth, seventh or
eighth In six seasons. In
those same 10 years the club
leading the league in twin
killings finished in the first
division only four years. And
consider these figures: in
1910, Detroit won the pen
nant and was low for the
league with double plays
with 116 as st. Louis led the
circuit with l79 and finished
sixth! And in 1887, New
York won the pennant. but

BEAUTIFUL
 WASHINGTON
tBY Mrs. Walter Ferguson)

V never fully realized how beau tiful Washington is until I was leaving it.
 l suppost every American has a soft spot for his national capital know do. History had hallowed it. The great men and women who have lived there left memories of tkeir greatness.
 Yet how ready we are to think eand talk disparagingly about pres ent-day politicians, forgetting to give praise where it is due. It's one of our bad habits.
 We make jokes at their expense; we crab about the traffic which is usually in snarl. Since Washing ton was designed to repel military invasion, with its many circles in to which the streets run like spokes of an enormous wheel, au- tomobile driving is more difficult there than in most cities. ' We complain too much about the weather, yet during this visit

of mine it was almost perfect.

of mine it was almost perfect.
 When the moment came for say- ing good bye I thought of the spiritual heritage that Washington is for Americans-the eternal sym bol of our best aspirations-and today humanity's only hope for prosperity and peace. What a re- sponsibility put upon our shoul- ders!
 The other night as our plane rose, the lighted dome of the Cap itol looked like huge white bell hanging in the sky. Through the darkening dusk the slim dagger the Washington monument-was outlined against the sunset.
 These always remind me that Washington is the dream of patri- ots made real-men such as Wash ington, Jefferson, Adams and Lin coln. Shall we not work and pray that we may keep their dream alive?

Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT

Lost buttons, especially those
torn out of garments, add great
ly to the burden of family mend
ing in many households. Spring
and summer clothes of thin fabric
are likely to suffer most from
buttons that pull out, taking some
of the fabric underneath with
them. A simple way to prevent
such damage, clothing specialists
suggest, is to stitch tape on the
inside of the garment under the
button line The stitched rein
forcement does not show when
the garment is buttoned and dis
tributes the strain so that the
small area of cloth to which the
button is attached does not take
the full pull. Stitch down each
edge of the tape, then sew but
tons through the center part of
the tape.
On rayon clothes such a tape
will prevent the damage that Of
ten comes from pressing too hard
or with too hot an iron under but
tons.
Rural identification specialists
advise that electric irons ALWAYS
should be disconnected properly
after use to keep them in good
working order. Pull on the plug
that fits into the convenient out
let in the wall, never on the cord
Pulling on the cord may loosen
the connections within the plug
or even pull out the wires. A
loose connection may either blow
a fuse or cause excessive heat
which in time will ruin the plug
If the iron cord is detachable
connect and disconnect it at the
convenient outlet rather than al
the iron. Disseminating the cord
from the iron while the current
is on may cause sparkling. This
in time will ruin the plug and
may require replacing the con-
hector terminals on the iron-a
repair job.

Milk is our most nearly perfect
food. 1t is our best source of
body building material, therefore,
proper handling is necessary.
We can produce clean milk only
one way, by having a clean barn,
cow, mixer and equipment. =.
The barn should be cleaned of
all dirt and litter and bedded
daily with fresh straw. If pos
sible, the cow should be MIXED
on a platform that can be cleaned
daily.
The cow should be brushed be-
fore milking in order to remove
dirt and loose hairs. The udder
should be cleaned with a towel
wrung from hot water. This re-
moves dust from the udder and
stimulates the flow of milk.
The mixer should be dressed
in clean white clothing. His
hands should be washed and dried
before milking.
Proper equipment is also neces-
sary. The milk pail should be of
proper construction with the top
three-fourths covered to prevent
foreign matter from entering the
milk.
The strainer used should fit the
standard filter disc. The discs
must be discarded after being
used.
The milk should be cooled i'm
nediately after milking. In the
absence of a regular electric milk
cooler, cold water should be used.
, The water level should be equal
to or above the level of the milk
inside the can. Keep at a tenn
perature of 40 to So Fahrenheit,
until delivered to consumer.
The milking equipment must be
properly cleaned. First, rinse the
containers with luke-warm wa
ter; then wash in hot water con-
tanning an alkaline powder. Use
a stiff brush (not a cloth). Then
steriliZe in steam or a chlorine So
luton and place on a rack upside
down.
Milk handled in this manner
means clean milk. Clean milk
makes healthier people,; there
fore, it means more profit for the
! producer as well as a healthier
and happier America.

Ashe All Boys And Girls In
Contest On Handling OF Milk

Ashe county All Club boys and
girls have entered the dairy essay
contest this year. The topic of
the essay is 'The Proper Handling
of Milk on the Farm. The two
winning essays for the county
group were written by Betty
Bledsoe, of Fleetwood, and Har-
old Burkett, of Jefferson. These
two essays have been submitted
in the State contest.
They are published here:
Milk, the most important food
in our diet, should be handled
with much care. One cannot
handle milk too meticulously and
it is the home dairyman's duty to
see that it is handled properly.
First, he should see that the
cow is healthy and free from all
bacteria that might contaminate
the milk and endanger the health
of those who drink the milk.
Many rules must be followed
in order to obtain clean milk.
The cows stall should be bed
ded often, unless a cement floor
is provided so that it can be
washed each day.
The cow should be brushed long
enough before milking so that
the dust and dirt particles will
settle, and for all loose hairs to
be removed. The udder should
be rinsed with a chlorine solu-
ton and dried with clean towel.
Semi-annually, it is wise to clip
the hairs from the cows udder.
Before milking the dairyman
should wash his hands thorough
ly. A clean uniform should be
worn while milking, preferably
white.
To make milking pleasure
rather than a drudgery, a metal
stool should be used, as it is more
sanitary.
The best type of bucket for
milking purposes is seamless
covered container that will not
stain or rust. The dairyman
should milk with both hands and
squeeze the milk, never strip the
cow. Never scold or whip the
COW, as this has a tendency to
make her nervous.
Milk should be strained and
cooled Immediately after milking
to keep the bacteria count low
and to keep the milk sweet for
a longer period of time. The
strainer should be seamless and
standard filter disc used and it
destroyed after using.
The utensils which were used
