Question:: Our caves troughs
are leaking. We called a tinsmith
but we were told that they could
not be soldered because when
they were installed the workers
did not leave enough lap-over at
the joints. Do you know of any
preparation we can apply to them
so they will not leak?
Answer: First apply a layer of
asphalt roof cement at the edges
of the joints. extending it several
inches. Then put on a piece of
heavy asphalt-saturated felt. This
patch should then receive another
coating of roof cement.
Repainting Woodwork.
Question: I have ivory enamel
woodwork in my kitchen and
would like to paint it white. The
old paint is quite smooth except
on the edges of the doors where
it's worn off to the bare wood,
Can I use good white enamel
right over the old ivory. or must
use an undercoating of some
kind? What should be used on
the places where the paint is
completely worn off?
Answer: The gloss Of the old
enamel must be dulled before you
can paint over it. To dull the
gloss. sponge the woodwork with a
warm solution of triSodium phos-
phate, in water. using cupful

to the gallon. (The "triso' is a
soapless cleaning powder sold
under trade names at grocery
and paint stores, also inexpensively
in bulk under it's own name at
large paint stores.)
Follow by rinsing well with
water. This should also remove
the film of grease that is always
present on kitchen surfaces. The
worn-off places can have a
light sanding and wiping off with
cloth dipped in turpentine.
Build up the bare places with
couple of coats of enamel under
coater. Then apply enamel un-
dercoater to all surfaces that
you are going to repaint. One
coat may suffice.
If the ivory shows through,
you had better put on a second
coat, although I doubt if this will
be necessary. Finish with the
enamel and buy the best paint.
Question: Is there a type of
wood putty that is made from
oak, mahogany or walnut sawdust?
I made some by mixing mahogany
Sawdust with liquid cement. 1t
smells like ether. I also mixed
some of the sawdust with glue
and mucilage. which is sticky and
dries too quickly.

NEA Sees No Chance
OF Filling Teacher
| Needs This Fall

There is no possibility Of get
ting enough qualified teachers
this fall for the Nations ele-
mentary schools, the National
Education Association warned to-
day.
The NEA released a study of
teacher supply and demand
which showed that the largest
class of college graduates in the
country's history will emerge this
June but will include only one
fifth the number of new ele-
mentary teachers needed.
Only 20 ,460 elementary teach
ers will be graduated. the NEA
said. The schools will need a
minimum of 100000 this fall.
To make this all the worse, ele-
mentary school enrolment is ex-
pected to increase by almost q
million children, the NEA said.
Writer Awards Made.
These problems facing the schools
were presented to the institute
being held by the NEA for the
Education Writer'S Association.

UNUSUALLY GOOD
Feed Situation and Stock Con-
ditiOn Are Reversed By
Rain, Favorable June

Ranges and pastures in Montana
are now providing abundant for
age as the result of generous
rainfall during June. The range
areas have reversed the condition
existing a month earlier, reported
at the time as retarded growth of
grass. The Montana federal agri-
cultural statistical service in Hell
ena says that with the current
favorable soil moisture supply, vir-
tually all summer and winter
ranges are assured of adequate
forage.
Although ranges in the eastern
third of the state are better than
they have been for several years,
there r some dry areas in west
ern Montana where rain has been
light and ranges and pastures have
not provided the usual amount of
feed.
Wild and tame grasses for hay
grew rapidly the latter part of
June. Water for irrigation was
and is abundant. Dry land fields
promise to yield fine crops of hay.
The first cutting of alfalfa, now
being harvested, is yielding well.
1t appears that adequate hay sup
plies for winter are practically
assured.
Heavier than normal losses of
livestock from poisonous weeds are
reported in the upper Yellowstone
region.
Because of the fine grazing con-
ditions existing in June, cattle put
on good gains and IRE growing
rapidly, almost overcoming the
setback they sustained last winter.
The calves are rugged despite the
Snow storms of May and early
June that blistered the udders and
teats of cows and reduced the milk
supply.
Cattle marketing is generally
dull; ranchers are in need of more
stock to fully utilize the range.
Inspected import shipments totaled
5O,653 head in the period of jan
uary through May, which is more
than twice the imports for the
same period last year. Many of the
cattle brought in were from the
southern plains.
Contracting for calves to be de-
livered in the fall has been &C
lively pursued lately. The average
price is reported at about $25 per
hundredweight.
