Crocodile Lover Reported

KHARTOUM - (P) - The Anglo
Egyptian Sudan is a land of strange
tales. One weird reportcomes from
Blue Nile Province. A crocodile in
1885 seized a woman from AfOdt
Villagt, in the Fund District. Five
villagers swore they saw the beast
make off with the girl
Recently the same women reap
pressed at a village near Aba Island
on the White Nile, stveral hundred
miles away. Official investigation
indicated there was little doubt as
to her identity. Under questioning
she remembered details of her life
and family in AfOdi. She refused to
explain her presence on the White
Nile. Local opinion on the case: the
man who loved her in 1885 and had
been refused her hand was a wiz
ard. BY means of a rOOa he turned
himself into a crocodile and made
off with her.

Consider Lighting
In Color Schemes

Comfortable, economical lighting
is worth consideration when chOoS-
ing color schemes for rooms in
your house, says Miss Louise X.
'Whitcomb, Home Management Sp-
ecialist at the University of Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. For thrift with light-eithor
daylight or electric light-theres
an advantage in light cOlOred walls
woodwork. and furnishings. This is
because white or light cOlOrs re-
fleet light and dark cOlOrs absorb
it.
"In redecorating the home this
spring, a shift to the deep shades
now in vogue for wall paper, in
terror paint, curtains arid other
furnishings may require more
lamps or higher wattage bulbs for
adequate illumination" she says
"Plan your redecorating with these
things in mind"

Bumper Grain Crop
Is Now FOrseen
Corn Paintings This Year Are
Well Above Average
BY Associated Press

WASHINGTON, July - Farmers
appear to have confidence that city
folks will be in the market for lots
Of meat in the year ahead.
An Agriculture Department crop
report shows that they are going
right ahead producing bumper sup
plies OF grains needed for the pro-
duction of meats, dairy and poultry
products.
The corn crop may be $50, 900, ,OOO
bushels, or 81 per cent, larger than
the 2,G27 100000 recommended by
the department under an acreage
allotment program aimed at cutting
down current surpluses.
Producers cut their corn acreage
only AZ per cent compared with
the 1873 per cent sought by the
government.
The big corn crop would give
farmers plenty of grain to expand
if needed, the already high level OF
livestock production. Department
officials said it is perhaps fOrtn-
nate" that farmers exceeded the
government goal. in light OF the
critical international situation.

Methods Of Gluing
Furniture Demonstrated

AS a part of the repair school
program held on June 29th at the
Labor Camp Building near George
town. Miss Louise WhitcOmb, Home
Management Specialist, University
of Delaware demonstrated methods
of gluing furniture when various
parts become loose.
Miss WhitcOmb took an old chair
with loose rounds and demonstrate
ed the proper method of making
the chair sturdy. The first step was
to remove all of the glue. Thick
parts of glue were scraped o.
chiseled Oft being careful not to re-
move any wood. Warm vinegar was
used to wash off any glue which
remained on the round.
Another important step in the
process is to open the pores OF the
wood to allow the glue to enter
freely, which was done by dipping
the parts to be glued in warm wa
ter, then allowing them to dry.
After the parts were cleaned anC
dried. they were tested for a pro.
per fit. Both furniture and glue
should always be at room tempera
ture, continued Miss Whitecomb
The plastic resin glue which was
used was rubbed into the pores o
4 the wood with a stiff brush ant
/ then pressed into place. Clamps
may be used to hold the rounds U
the chair firmly in place or a rOp'
and tourniquet may be used to draw
the parts closely together. The lat
ter method was demonstrated b,
Miss WhitcOmb. The glue should b.
allowed to dry for "a hours.

plete directions for gluing furnitur

Farm Safety Week
From July % To %
teonunuea from NH rszu,

81. We are told that these youth
who conduct safety surveys of
their home farms and neighboring
farmsteads-have the best organ
lied safety program in the rural
field. They not only ferret out haz-
ards, but follow through and cor
rect thousands of unsafe condi-
tions relating to farm machinery,
livestock, hOmemaking, recreation,
motoring, and scores of other
things.
Since the project was launched
on a national basis eight years ago,
enrolment has increased five times.
This would indicate that our farm
boys and girls have steadily be-
come more safety minded. 1t
means, also, that in addition to the
Alters themselves, safety educa-
ton has reached parents, residents
of the local community, club lead
ers, and extension personnel.
So it seems a foregOne conclu-
sion that many times the half-mil-
lion young folks taking part in the
All safety program are Influenced
and benefited. Perhaps this wide
spread tlux of safety knowledge
will prove to be a direct route tC
decreasing the 1880 fatal acci-
dents to farm people each year
or save some of the $4,000 farm
buildings destroyed by fire; or put
to constructive use the $1,000,O0O,
600 in losses annually represented
by these disasters.
For furthering All farm safety

Cold Drinks For BOssy

1t may not be practical for dairy
men to give their cows ice-cold
lemonades this summer, but it is
practical-and profitable-to keep
them in the shade and provide
plenty of cool water.
William E. TaTbell, Kent County
Agricultural Agent, says that keep
ing cows comfortable in summer
is more important than many dairy
men realize.
He tells of a farmer who had a
field of good legume pasture and
another with a lot of shade, but
not too much for COWS to eat. Tar
bell says the cows produced more
milk when they were pastured on
the legumes at night and kept in
shade during the day than they
produced when they couldn't get
into daytime shade.
