Storage Of Vegetables

In storage both the temperature
and the humidity need to be con-
sidered. Celery and root crops
beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips,
rutabagas-need to be kept cool
and quite moist. Potatoes and cab
bage need GOODNESS and moderate
moisture. Onions, squashes and
pumpkins all should be kept dry,
but squashes and pumpkins can
stand more heat than onions. There
are many practical devices, from
pits and buried barrels to specially
constructed store rooms, which
you can use for your storage need.
Root crops are often successfully
stored in crates on a storage floor.
Potatoes and cabbage can be left
uncovered on shelves above the
ground; the air should not be so
moist that drops of water form on
them

Lights in Laying Houses
Help Increase Egg Yield

An electrical twilight is possible
in the chicken house, but it is more
expensive and less practical than
to allow the sun to do the Job in
the normal and accustomed way.
1t is possible to arrange dim
ming devices that put out part of
the lights and gradually dim the
others, so that the chickens get to
roost before all the electric lights
60 out, but such control is expen-
sive, either for mechanical appli-
ances or in personal attention.
This is why poultry specialists
Of the U. S. department of agricul-
ture, in suggesting winter lights in
laying houses advise poultrymen
to turn on the lights in early morn
ing and get the layers rustling in
time to put in a full day before
the normal twilight that guides
them to rest on the roosts. This
is why on many farms this winter
the layers will be up and on the
job even earlier than the tradi-
tionally early rising farm family.
A simple alarm clock regulator
Is all that is required to turn on
the lights in the morning. Many
have demonstrated
that it is good business to provide
enough electric lighting in the lay
ing house so that the hens will
get in fourteen hour day Under
the lights, the layers exercise
more, eat more, and lay more
eggs.

Fort Kearney Stamp Issue
Recalls Westward Movement

A three-cent stamp buys a large
order of American history in the
commemoration issue of the Tooth
anniversary of Fort Kearney as the
Guardian of the Pioneers"
Fort Kearney belongs to the saga
Of the Oregon Trail, of covered
wagons and stampeding buffalo
herds, of fur traders, mountain
men, and Indian fighting, notes the
National Geographic society.
Curiously, history books and
maps differ about its spelling. Al
though named for General Stephen
Watts Kearney, who served in the
Mexican war and led early expe-
ditions over the pioneer trails, the
fort-like the nearby town of the
same name, bears the statutory
spelling 'Kearney."
The fort was established in the
summer of l848 to protect west
ward moving travellers from hos
tile Indians. Built along the Platte
valley in the heart of what is now
Nebraska, it replaced a temporary
camp to the east, which had been
set up a year or two earlier and
was first to use the generals name.
The new site was a practical |
one, chosen for convenient grazing
land and fertile soil crops, for |
good water supply, and neighbor-
ing woods for building materials.
Soon the commanding lieutenant
and his ITS volunteer mounted
troops from Missouri had raised
guardhouse and
lookout station, officers quarters,
and a sawmiu

Veterans Advised To
Check Courses

Veterans planning to enroll in
on-the-job training or take trade
school or correspondence courses
under the G.. l. Bill should check
with the Veterans Administration
first to make sure the course has
been officially approved, the VA
warns.
The VA said many veterans have
signed up for trade school and cor
reSpondence courses with the I'M
Outstanding that the VA would pay
the bill. Later they found the
courses were not approved and that
they were personally liable for the
cost of the course.
Other veterans have been de-
prived of subsistence allowances by
taking positions with firms not
approved to give veterans training,
the VA added
The VA offered the following
suggestions to help veterans pro-
tect themselves and their G. l.
educational entitlement
THE VA does not endorse any
course, although it will be glad to
advise any veteran on where he
can obtain technical instruction
2-No down payment is necessary
for training given under the c. I.
Bill. All that is required is a Ger
tificate of Eligibility issued by the
VA
Vocational advisement services
are available to veterans through |
the VA without charge to assist
them in selecting suitable training
courses.

time work while attending school
