In wooden bins sweep or brush
along the line of cracks and crev-
ices to get out as much as possible
of the mealy dust and broken
and spoiled grain. Steel bins should
De caulked to make them more
weatherproof. Roofs should be re-
paired, and wooden bins should be
made as tight as possible to make
later fumigations more effective if
fumigation becomes necessary.
The walls, ceilings, and floors of
wooden bins, and cracks around
the entrances of steel bins, should
be sprayed after cleaning with one
of the newer and highly effective
insecticides. These not only kill
insects that they reach but leave
dry residue to kill insects that
come out of cracks and move over
the remaining particles. Sprays
that have been found satisfactory
for treating bins consist of 2.5 per
cent by weight of DDT, TIDE,
methoxychlor, or chlordane as
emulsions or water suspensions, or
an emulsion containing 1 per cent
by weight of piperonyl butoxide
and i percent of pyrethrins. Use
2 gallons of spray for 1000 square
feet of surface.
At the same time any accumula-
tions of grain, feed, bran, or
screenings in and around bins and
feed rooms should be scraped loose,
swept up, and destroyed. The idea
is to remove the insects and the
in which they can breed

Housecleaning Time
For Grain Bins

Good Observation-Disclosures a
thorough housecleaning-Is in or
der on every farm where grain Win
be stored within the next year,
saws William E. Tarbell, county
agent. Any farmer who rates his
wife a good housekeeper might
very we'll ask her to come out and
check up on the grain bins after
he has done what he thinks is a
good job. She may be able to
point out ways of getting better
results in protection of the grain
from damage by insects that live
over from crop to crop in cereal
material that remains in emptied
grain bins and start trouble when
newly harvested grain is stored.
An empty bin should be the sig
nal for housekeeping. The earlier
in the season it is done and the
bins are sprayed the better, be-
cause in this way more of the hold
over insects remaining in the bins
will be killed. In general, it is just
before wheat and oat harvest that
bins are most likely to be empty.
Mr.. Tarbell says that clean bin
insurance involves two stages
cleaning and spraying.
Physical cleaning of the emptied
bin includes vigorous sweeping
scraping if needed-of walls and
floor, not forgetting the corners.
The sweeping should get rid of
grain, meal, dust, debris, and dirt.

MORE; the first railroad in
Florida was built from Fernan-
dina to Cedar Keys, a direct line.
Water commerce grew to great
proportions. Five and six maSted
schooners, now seldom seen, and
steam vessels of huge carrying
cargo, found safe anchorage and
berths, awaiting cargo. There
were fifteen licensed pilots and
three steam tugs to take care of
water traffic. River traffic, too,
was well recognized; one steamer
making daily round trips from
Brunswick, Ga, and another sail
ing daily up the St. Marys River
as far as King Ferry, Fla. Car
goes consisted of lumber, naval
stores and phosphate rock; the
latter was the first such water
borne cargo from our state.
Politically, we boast of the first
Florida Senator in the Congress
of the United States, the late
Senator Fitzhugh Lee, a citizen
of Fernandina. Fort Clinch, built
in the early fifties stands out as
a sentinel on the tip of the island
and is now known as Fort Clinch
State Park, beautifully wooded
and scenic from every angle.
Fernandina Beach, recently in
corporated into township, is
growing rapidly as seashore re-
sort. The recently built modern
hotel, ocean pier, courts and
modern cottages with every con-
venience is we'll filled, and lastly,
Highway 105, now 1870 complete
and which will connect us with
Heckshire Drive and on down the
Eastcoast of Florida. This is

see us. Incidentally, congratula-
tons to Mr.. and Mrs. Isadore
Moscovitz on their Fifteenth An

Even a busy postmaster finds
time to make observations, and
as a result, learns what we want
to knoW.In this instance, the
writer observed two young men,
one a prominent journalist, the
other legal prosecutor as well
as a defender of man. It is not
uncommon to observe doctor
and an undertaken in a huddle.
Why should not an editor and a
prosecutor exercise close COM
munion. Through the press, the
former is presumed to acquaint
the public with the truth, while
the latter, through years of train
ing finds flaws and stands ready
to challenge the truth. But
knowing them to be close friends,
convinced me that this huddle
was friendly and peaceful. The
two young men were no other
than Hymie W. Kitty" FISHER, a
leading and prominent lawyer of
Fernandina, and presently Assist

your editor, it is proper that
highlight the prosecutor who is

WASHINGTON-tP) A new
use for atomic radiation is are-

ing the potential water supply
from mountain snow. Govern

method opened up broad possibil-
tiles for obtaining advance know

areas where mountain snow Is a

The technique involves radi-
oactive material on the ground
before the snow season starts. A

the ground. The more snow pres
ents, the weaker the radiation
