What to Purchase First

What electrical equipment should
the operator Of an electrified farm
buy first? The answer is equipment
for income producing purposes,
such as pumps. water pressure sys-
TENS. dairy, poultry and stock wa
tering equipment and that used for
grain handling and processing.
Next on the list comes equipment to
help provide comfort and conven-
ience in the home. In this latter
category are kitchen ranges, hot
water heaters, sun lamps and
the smaller household appliances.
There is nothing inf1exible about
this suggestion, the thought behind
it being to make electricity pay its
way and thus provide money for
purchase Of convenience appi'
ances.

Prevent Food MoIds

Contrary to common belief, mold
is not unavoidable and expected, but
rather the most easily prevented of
all types of spoilage, say Purdue
university specialists. Mold, which
is found mostly on fruits and toma-
toes. grows only in the presence
Of air. Mold is killed by tempera-
ture below the boiling point. Dis
carding doubtful cans and process
ing the food in jars rather than open
kettle canning will prove reliable
preventive measures.
