Post treating
Facilities Installed
In Lexington

The Lexington Vocational Agri-
culture department has installed
post treating facilities to serve
veteran farm trainees, FLA men,
bers and farmers, according to O.
A. Cleveland, agriculture teacher.
A demonstration on post treat
ment and wood preservation will
be held at the Vocational building
Monday, September 10, 2 pm.
This service is in line with a state
wide program now being carried
on with the help of the state vo-
cational education department and
the public is invited to attend.
The supply of durable fence
posts is rapidly diminishing and
farmers r having to cut their
le~ss-durable woods, Mr.. Cleveland
said. This makes it more impor-
tant for the farmer to increase the
esrvice life of these posts so that
fencing costs can be kept as low
as possible.
Pine posts are recommended as
they are easier to peel and will
respond best to treatment. 1t is
important that both outer and in
ner bark be removed. Otherwise,
the preservative will not do a
good job of penetrating the wood.
Posts can be peeled when they
r cut or allowed to remain on
the ground for 80 to 60 days in
warm weather for insects to loom
en- the bark. If peeled while

Condor told members Of the
Twentieth Century Club yesterday.
Because of the complex scope Of
the work undertaken by the bureau,
the speaker pointed out that q
system of spot checks is used in an
attempt to cover the whole field.
We're not as systematic and
thorough as W. may seem to be-" DR..
Condor continued. Many persons
feel we should do more for the
CONSUMERS and I agree. But the
consumers will have to organize and
see it through politically in order
to get results"
DR.: Condor said that the work
of the bureau has grown from the
original purpose Of producing
simple, precise standards Of physi-
cal measurement to include the
determining of the quality of COM
modities purchased for Government
use. Two flags flying on the Indus
trial building recently didn't denote
acute patriotism, he said. 1t was
a matter Of testing the merits Of
all-wool and half-wool, half-nylon
articles.
THE bureau has a lot Of husky
children around" DR.. Condor said
in expressing how its former fields
of endeavor grow beyond the par
ent. He gave as an example
the work in atomic energy which
Is now handled by an independent
commission of the same name.
working under a budget that is al
most 10 times that of the bureau.
DR.. Condor listed some Of the
work being done by the bureau and
covered a range from tire-testing
to the technical side of what
was wrong with the White House"
Work for the Navy is being done
in the field of guided missiles and
the Department Of the Treasury
has requested a machine to count

The latter, he added, If devised,

The business of poking
around in the dark crannies
of railroad freight cars and
warehouses is not without ad-

vividly the occasion down in
Tennessee when he went to
the railroad yard to inspect
freight cars for plants.

turned out that the cars we're

On another occasion, at

a dark freight car and felt
something seize his legs with
an iron grip. He hastily point
