DWgging Blood Of Cattle
To Kill Insects Is Harmful

Is it possible and practical to
drug the blood of farm animals so
as to kill disease-carrying para
sites that attack them?
Answers to this question are COM
ing from Africa, where veterinar-
ians have been making tests in re-
cent years.
In newest experiments, DOT and
benzene hexachlori6e were fed to
cattle, after which the animals were
exposed to disease-carrying mos
quitoes, flies and ticks. Some of the
tests were highly successful. Others
were not encouraging.
Large doses were poisonous to
the cattle as well as to the para
sites, while smaller doses fed for
a limited time killed the blood
sucking pests without causing no.
ticable harm to the cattle. Never
theless, in all of these tests, one
big question remained unanswered,
namely, whether extended feeding
OF insecticide powders will even
tually poison livestock and the peo-
pie who consume their meat and
milk.
To be effective, the powders
must be administered regularly,
and current opinion in the United
States is that none of the COM
monty used insecticides can be fed
on a regular basis with safety to
animals and meat consumers-not
even in relatively small doses.

Food for Thought

Mary T. Davenport, Nutrition
Consultant, State Board of Health
Last week we brought out some
points to simplify food preparation
by kitchen arrangement. The the
ory is to locate equipment near the
area where it is used most fire.
quently.
So often the complaint is that
wall space is lacking. Yet when one
takes stock of available space, it's
amazing how small shelf will fit
here and needed table will fit
there. Shelves are preferred to
tables because they have no legs
so the floor area is clear and easier
to clean.
A light over the sink is one of
your best kitchen aids. Pin-up
lamps are effective in many areas.
If you have cupboards over your
sink and bulb is out of the ques-
ton, fiuorescent tube is the ans
wer, They use less electricity for
the same amount of light, too.
Examine the areas at which you
constantly bend to reach equip
ment. We insist upon bending over,
instead of fiexing the knees, to
reach low placed articles. This is a
tiresome activity but it seems that
correction is impossible. So the
way out is to remove the popular
pieces from the lower shelves and
place them where they can be
reached without bending.
Are your everyday dishes stored
near the sinks drainboard? The
dish cupboard should be reached
from the drying space without talk
ing a step.
If you're building a kitchen,
don't locate the silver drawer under
the working selves where crumbs,
etc., may be brushed from the
shelves into the drawers.
BY all means have a chair or
stool available where you can work
at them without bending back.
Sinks are first in this list and if
these are now low they may be
elevated with little trouble.
Look over your kitchen, note the
features that need changing in ord
er to simplify meal preparation
and change them. Most reorganiza-
tion requires little, if any, expense
and will pay great dividends.

Rainmaker Tells Chemists
Dry Ice Gan DisEeEse Fog

Cold fog can now be dispersed BY
the same seeding techniques
scientists use to convert clouds in
TO rain and snow. DR.. Vincent ].
Schaefer reported at a meeting Of
the Cleveland section of the Amer
lean Chemical society.
Scattering a few handfuls of dry
ice or other foreign particles in a
supercooled ground fog will cause
the water droplets to gather into
ice crystals so heavy that they can
no longer float in the air, according
to DR.. Schaefer, who is a pioneer
in the modern attempts at weather
control. In warm weather the ice
crystals melt as they descend to
The earth and turn into rain.
There is a likelihood of overdo.
ing the seeding process. he warned
If too much foreign matter is
added to a fog bans, it will in ef-
feet be changed 70, smog, with
the result that the visibility will
be further impaired and the fog
will be more persistent.
Proper amounts will, however,

cipitated as harmless rain by air

Schaefer said:
''The tremendous quantities of
ice crystals which may be pro-
duced with dry ice in cold clouds
raises the distinct probability that,
if correctly introduced, it should
be possible to eliminate dangerous
hail storms. With a large concen.
tration of sublimation nuclei (par.
ticles that act as foundation of ice
crystals) present in the region
where hail might form, the COM
petition between particles for the
available moisture would be SO
keen that no crystals could grow

SHOULD We EDUCATE Men FOR
POLITICAL CAREERS?

The British plan of educating off
Gals has, in 80 years, certainly prov
en- superior to ours. Beginning will
the loans made by us to Britain by
Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, in the las
80 years, the British players have
gotten from our awkward lads il
Washington $50 billion; about 81
billion the year for generation.
We keep on playing, though oul
first stack of chips was won from us
years ago, and we have been borrow
| ing ever since to sit in the British
game. They do not even let us cut,
shuttle, or deal the cards.
No plan ever paid larger return
in money than the English one of
educating publicists. None was ever
more costly than our sending to meet
the English professionals, self-confi-
dent amateurs, just because they are
good handshakers, belong to a par
ticular Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal
or Catholic Church, or can tell glibly
on platform or radio that they are
friendly to labor, or have the farm
ers' needs in their hearts.
Reuben Maury, for 20 years chief
editorial writer for the largest news
paper in the United States, perhaps
the largest in the world, the New
York Daily News, coined the phrase
now quite current, "Uncle Sap" for
Uncle Sam.
Everything said in this article
is for the purpose of educating our
haphazard Congressman, D'Ewart
and Mansfield, SO as to save us
money.
The first lesson is: The Marshall
Plan is the most costly folly that any
nation ever engaged n. A head

WHAT PUBLIC POWER
MEANS

This is what public power means
to Americans:
In 1888 when the Tennessee
Valley Authority was created,
there were only 100000 consum-
ers of electric power in the IVA
area. Today there are one million.
Sixteen years ago, only $4,000
farms in the Tennessee Valley had
electricity. Today IVA serves
100000 farmers.
IVA has benefited every Amer
lean. Federal income tax pay
ments from the area have in
creased largely because of the
prosperity which IVA has
brought.
In the past year, Tennessee val
ley residents have spent 100 mil
lion for electrical appliances made
in the north and east.
These facts show what IVA has
done for one section of the coun-
try and what a Missouri Valley
Authority, a Columbia Valley Au-
thority or a Connecticut Valley
Authority could do for other parts
