Vitornin c Soid
Irnportont to Heolth

In the years before the discov-
cry of America, scurvey was a di-
sease which killed thousands of
sailors who, because of the slow
sailing vessels, had to spend
months at sea. After a few weeks
out of port, husky fellows would
come down with swollen and
bleeding gums, loosened teeth,
loss of strength and bursting
blood vessels. And, yet, as soon
as the ship reached port, and the
sailors had a chance to eat some
fresh vegetables and fruit instead
of the dried stuff served on
board, the men began to get well.
1t wasn't long ago when scient-
lists were able to show that the
cause of scurvey was a lack of
Vitamin c which is found in GER
tain fresh fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin c is needed by the body
to help it build and maintain
suond tissues. 1t helps the body
heal more quickly when hurt and
helps in resisting infection. 1t is
necessary to insure good bone de-
velopment. It can give the body
more Zip" when it feels tired
and rundown.
Since the body finds it hard to
store Vitamin c, it is necessary
to see to it that some of this i'm
portant vitamin is in some of the
food we eat each day. One of the
riches sources of c is in the So
C allie d citrus fruits lemons,
oranges, grapefruit, tangerines
and lines. Fresh pineapple and
fresh strawberries are also rich
in this vitamin.
Among the vegetables, fresh
raw cabbage and fresh or canned
tomatoes offer a good supply of
c. Raw spinach, parsley, peppers
and raw or canned peas will also
yield much Vitamin c.

Ironing Temperature
Of Rdyon Worries

Rayon is really a whole family
of fabric so you need to check
ironing temperature carefully and
suit it to the kind of rayon being
ironed.
Edith Berry, extension clothing
specialist at Ohio State Univer-
sity, says the cool, smooth rayons,
such as sharkSkin and jersey, do
require a relatively cool iron and
consequently, take longer to iron
Many of the spun Tayons, how
ever, can be ironed with a mod
erately hot iron, quickly and
easily.
It's a good plan and the saf-
est one. to start ironing on a hid
den seam. You can use this as a
test, and without damaging the
garment. If the iron sticks, the
temperature is too high. It's safe
when the iron moves smoothly.

are pink, ddish-brown, or gray
depending upon weather condi-
tions and the amount of fungus
growth present.
One of these starts near the tip
of the ear and progresses down
ward producing a continuous
area of rotten moldy kernels as
the fungus advances toward the
base of the ear. The other is more
of, a kernel rot" affecting indi-
vidual, or groups of kernels in
various local areas distributed
over the ear. Many kernels in
fected by these organisms show
no external symptoms of disease.
Corn infected with one of these
pink colored rots should NOT be
fed to hogs as it will cause severe
vomiting. So far as is known at
present this corn can be safely
fed to other livestock.
Diplodia Ear Roth Diplodia

an inconspicuous kernel infection
to a complete rotting of the ear
and husks. Diplodia rot usually
extends upward from the base of
the ear and there is a white to
grayish- brown mycelium between
the kernels on rotted ears. Late
in the season dark brown to
black dots appear on the husks,
the floral bracts and the pericarp
of rotten kernels.

Corn ear rots are rather severe
in certain parts of the state, this
year. This is due in part to SER
les of weather conditions during
this season which were favorable
for the growth and development
of the carrot fungi; some is due
to the use of susceptible hybrids.
There are four common ear and
kernel rots of corn: Cinderella
and FuSarium ear rots, Diplodia
ear rot, Nigrospora cob rot, and
kernel molds. The Cinderella,
Fusarium, Diplodia and Nigros-
pora fungi also cause stalk rot.
Gibberella Ear Rot:-There are
TWO of these and both produce
a pink to reddish rot that is not
very evident until after the husks

The disease remains inConspicu-
Gus until about harvest time. The
thin walled cells in the cob are
destroyed by the fungus. AS a
result the kernels are chaffy and
light Colored and the cob is shred
ded and easily broken.
Kernel Molds:-There are sew
eral saprophytiC and semi-para-
site organisms each as--Rhizo-
pus, Aspergillus and Pendulum
species that destroy immature
corn having a high moisture con-
tent, This damage can occur
whenever there is an opening
through the husks, or if corn is
stored with too high a moisture
content These molds grow on
soft moist kernels forming a fun
gus mat that may be white, gray,
yellow, blue, green or black de-
pending upon which of the or
ganisms are present.
Control:
Apparently very little has been
done toward testing the various
corn hybridS used and recon-
mended in Ohio for their resist
,ance to EAR RIOTS. Therefore, l
cannot advise you as to which
hybrids, if any, are the most re-
sistant to these diseases. How
ever, since these fungi develop
rapidly on corn residue, the ploW-
ing under of crop refuse accom-
panied with crop rotation will re-
duce the loss from the ear rots.
The kernel molds'' can be best
controlled by the use of hybrids
that mature and dry rapidly in
the field.

Care for Picker
Saves Corn, Time

Ohio farmers can take more
and cleaner corn from their fields
with less labor, expense and dan
ger to themselves this fall if they
adjust and operate their pickers
properly.
Extension Agricultural Engin-
eer S. G.. Huber of Ohio State
University, and Farm Safety
Specialist w. E. Stuckey, of the
Industrial Commission of Ohio,
agree that improper adjustment
and operation of corn pickers
cause clogging, poor picking and
increase accidents.
Some adjustments you would
expect to make before starting to
pick are tightening bolts, replac-
ing worn and broken parts,
checking chain, belt and slip
clutch tensions, and lubricating.
Safety-minded folks check all
shields before they take their
pickers to the field and special
lists say that all others should.
Huber and Stuckey say other
adjustments may have to be made
after a picker actually goes into
operation.
Power take-off speed should be
Is to 20 +. p. m. or the speed re-
commended in your instruction
manual.
Increasing the speed of gath
ering chains will help pick up
down corn. Finger links on one
chain should run midway be-
tween two links on the other
chain. Engineers say gathering
chains, "out of time" will pull
corn stalks into the picker in
punches.
After the stalks pass the gath
ering chains, corn will be wasted
if swapping and huskfng rolls
aren't working right. Swapping
rolls close together will handle
stalks that are small or tough.
Large, dry and frozen stalks re-
quire a wide setting. If rolls are
too far apart, however, corn
shelling may result Too high
speed of swapping rolls will cause
stalk breakage, clogging and
shelling.
Special lugs or pegs on your
swapping rolls will help to de-
crease clogging.
Engineers say it's practically
impossible to stop all clogging,
however, so here are some tips to
make corn picker operation safer:
/. Keep all guards and shields
in place.
2. Always stop tractor and
poWer-take-off before dismount-
ing, oiling, adjusting, unclogging,
etc. average swapping rolls will
pull 12-foot stick through them
in about one secondly
3. Always be sure tractor is in
neutral when starting engine.
4. Engage clutch gently.
5. Always ride on the seat or
stand on the platform - alone.
Only the operator should ride.

may lose your pants if you take

IChurch Owns Mt. Etnu Snow
And Turns Ice Into Cash

Catania and a score of little sum-
mer resort villages along the East
Sicilian coast at the bottom of the
mountain.
In earliest days of the grant,
there was no other refrigeration.
Even now, the Etna snow sells at
just as good or better prices than
the artificially made ice available
in Catania.
Sicily was one of the birthplaces
of ice cream. And in the Catania
area, Sicilians still argue that the
Etna snow ice cream has better
flavor than ices made artificially
Mnsgr. Ca1melo Patane, 81, is the
present Archbishop of Catania. He
has kept the Etna snow grant
going just as his predecessors did
before him.
There are no figures on its
value, but it is presumed to net the
church several thousands of dol
lars a year.
When Etna erupted violently
this week it melted away little
of the snow. There are several
square miles of it left.

Virginia S High Court
To Review Annexation
Suit Of Falls Church
BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 1.-The
Virginia Supreme Court will re-
view the decision of a special
annexation court denying Falls
Church permission to annex land
in Fairfax County.
In an unusual action the high
court yesterday first refused, then
granted the city's request for an
appeal from the annexation ver-
dict handed down on July 20.
The court offered no explana-
tion as to why it reversed itself.
Falls Church sought in the July
suit to annex 10 square miles Of
territory in Fairfax County. At
torney Horace H. Edwards told
the Supreme Court that the city
must have the land it seeks be-
cause of it's rapid growth.
The city's petition was based on
what Edwards contended was the
established policy of the State
that urban areas should be under
urban government and rural areas
under rural government.
The court also agreed to hear
an appeal by c. F. Joyner, jr.,
Virginia Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles, from a lower court de-
cision which prevented collection
of penalties from out-of- State
trucker operators whose drivers
violated the States load limits
law.
Mr.. Joyner appealed from a
Richmond circuit court decision

fled in 1949 that he had been

Doughton Introduces
Compromise Bill on
Excess Profits Tax
By Cecil HolIond

Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee today introduced a compro-
mise $3.4 billion excess profits tax
bill. somewhat less than President
Truman had requested.
Mr.. Doughton said the commit
tee made some last-minute
changes in the bill during a morn
ing session. 1t will meet again
this afternoon formally to report
the measure on which it has been
working since November Is, and
clear the way for House action
next week.
The Rules Committee will take
up the measure this afternoon In
an effort to start floor debate
Monday. Passage is taken for
granted.
Senate Hearings Planned.
Changes in the rate applying
to corporations using the capital
investment method of computing
excess profits taxes made up the
principle revision the committee
agreed on at today's session.
The Senate Finance Committee
also met today to make plans for
hearings.
The House bill, tentatively ap-
proved by the Ways and Means
Committee yesterday, provides:
i. A tax of rs per cent on ''ex-
cess" profits of corporations whose
earnings exceed $4,000 a year.
Excess profits are described as
those which exceed IS per cent
of a corporations normal profits
with the average being defined as
the best three years of the four
in the 1869 period. The admin
istration had asked that profits in
excess of rs per cent of normal be-
taxed as excess.
Retroactive to July l.
2. A ceiling of 81 per cent on
the total tax liability of business,
including Federal income and sur
taxes as well as the excess profits
levy.
3. The tax will be retroactive to
last July l.
4. Provides an alternative meth
Cd of computing profits on the
basis of capital investment as well
as the base period.
S. Gives utilities fiat 6 per
cent credit in place of a percent
age of earnings allowed them by
regulatory bodies. This change
was made in the committees
session today.
While President Truman had
asked for a bill to provide at least
81 billion year. Democratic mem
bers of the committee said the
compromise measure was accept
able to the Treasury.
Republican members of the COM
mittee, however, did not regard 1t
as acceptable and plan a fight to
alter it when it comes before the
House. Most of them prefer an
increase in the present corporate
income taxes. now As per cent.

ROME, Dec. 1.-The worst
eruption of Mt. Etna in a half CEN

WA, the new crosStown service
along Alabama avenue, linking
Boiling Air Force Base with the
vicinity of Suitland road, will
intersect Routes CO, the Naylor
Gardens Branch of CO, c., Va,
V-8, W-6, W-8 and the A lines
under the plan.
Extension of Route WA.
The extension of Route WA
also will provide a new service for
the residents of Camp Simms be-
tween Eleventh street and Ala
