Question: wish to 1nsulate the
walls of an old home, covering
the insulating sheathing with a
seamless material like linoleum or
oilcloth. VIII this cold type of
material impair the efficiency of
the insulation to the extent that
in winter time a loss of heat will
be caused? wish to do the work
during the summer months.
Answer: On the contrary. there
is no reason why there should be
a loss of heat. and your idea
should work out very well. II you
select linoleum, get the type In
tended for covering walls-not
floors. This type of covering will
serve as a "vapor barrier" and
protect your insulation from pos
lsible penetration of moisture of
the air of the house. If you are
using a bait or blanket type. make
sure that, the moisture-proof COW
ering faces the rooms-not the
outside walls.
Insulating Under Flooring.
Question: You have advised Civ
ing the under side of floor boards
two coats of asphalt paint before
mailing up a blanket insulation
l. in cases where there is no base
ment, just crawl space under
the house. / would like to know
why the painting is necessary.
Answer: The asphalt paints
help to prevent moisture from
coming through the floor boards
from the damp earth. Asphalt
paint is also applied to outside
foundation walls below grade to
keep out dampness.
Chimney Sweats on Outside.
Question: I have recently con-
verted from a coal furnace to gas.
Now I notice the chimney sweats
on the outside from the roof up.
I don't think it is sweating on the
inside as yet, but I'm not sure.
What can I do to stop this sweat
ing? Is there any one who does
that kind of work?
Answer: To correct the condi-
ton you can have . flue lining In
serted In the chimney. for make
the guess that there is no fiue
lining in it now. Ask your heating
man about 1t.

that this is no world in which we
need people who sleep in the

people who are ready, but get

BY pointing to the biblical
statement - Cleanliness is next

"Your most important asset is

S. C.. Jimcrow Schools
Must Go, Says
NAACP Leader

COLUMBIA, S. c. - (ANP) -
Jimcrow schools in South Caro-
lima must 60, James M. Hinton.
president of the state chapter OF
the NAACP, declared last week
in a prepared news statement.
He gave his remarks as an
answer to a recent speech by Gov.
James F. Byrnes of South Caro-
lima. Gov. Byrnes said that he
would rather close the states
school rather than to allow color
ed and white pupils to learn to-
gether.
The governors remarks came
as a result of suit, to be heard
in May, filed by Negroes in Clar-
endon county in which they de-
mand the end of segregated
schools.
Hinton declared:
"The separate but equal theory
has failed. Segregation is re-
sponsible. Real democracy cannot
become a reality as long as seq
regation exists"

greatest pitcher in the world that
day he was a very most reason

FINALLY. COOL PAPA. who
was with the Barons that year
went up to take his cut. Up to
that time the pitching had been
so tight several of the infielderS
almost got arrested for lettering.
We were failing the Yanks from
Oxford 10 going into the Lost
Cause end of the 9th. Cool Papa
was born for running. Tall and so
lean they buy his uniform with
built in hips. They measure his
speed in light years.

just got word there was a catfish

play was closer than the hide on

it didn't stick until the visiting
Gorgians had a gone out and had

THEY ARE STILL talking
about what happened to White
Chile, that mighty slug man Of
the Birmingham Black Barons,
back here a few days ago. A
bench sentence of ten days has
Silenced the murderouS mace OF
the miscreant balsam but a LOT
of White Chile's admirers e
raising a deafening hue and cry
that they done done him wrong.
White Chile claims what he did
was without malice and afore
thought, he didn't intend to do it
and that he is gonna demand a
hearing before somebody or hire
a lawyer and explain his side and
throw hisself upon the ignorance
of the court, or sumpt'in.
That day the Black Barons were
encountering the Oxfords, Ga.
Yankees which by the by makes
this the first time a 1otta folks
ever suspected there were Yanks
at Oxford down here in Georgia.
1t might all be Cricket over in
England when the Yanks at OK

over to meet our Black Barons in

So as usual the time White
Chile, (who is called that only
cause he is, to all available data,
to date the most coloredest ball
player anywhere) got that very
raw deal the lads were out there

for every inch. The game had the

into the fields the important fac
tor to keep in mind when striving
for top production on irrigated land.
This point is stressed in the new
Wyoming agricultural experiment
station bulletin, "Water-Life for
the Land" by Byron R. Tomlinson,
SCS irrigation engineer, and Guy Q.
Woodward, extension irrigation spe-
cialist.
From the standpoint of cost alone,
the extra water applied to the land
above what the crop actually needs
is expensive. A cost comparison was
made in two Wyoming districts, one
of $4,000 acres and the other $4,000
acres. In the first area, the 5-year
average amount of water applied
was 4O-acre inches-2O inches above
the amount consumed by the crop.
The cost for the first 80 inches of
water actually needed for the crop
was SITS per acre, while the 40
acre-inches applied to the fields cost
the farmers $2.45 per acre.
In the other area of study involv-
ing $4,000 acres, so acre-inches of
water was actually applied at a cost
of $40 per acre compared with
$1.75 that the necessary 80 inches of
water would cost. Figures in this
cases are also 5-year averages.
Wasted Land. Plant Food
But aside from the actual cost of
the unnecessary water, authors of
the bulletin point out that wasted
water can also mean wasted land,
wasted plant food, wasted crops and
wasted capital.
Key to efficient water use accord
ing to true crop needs, is the water
application efficiency" factor ac-
cording to the bulletin. Any farmer
can determine the water application
factor for his own farm by setting
up the following ratio: (a) the depth
of water that is stored at each ir-
rigation in the soil root zone, and
ultimately consumed to Cb) the
depth of.water delivered to the field.
For example, a crop may require
20 inches of water in its production,
and 40 inches was applied to the
field. The ratio of water stored in
the soil, which was 20 inches, to the
amount delivered, or 40 inches, is
50 percent (2Oi40 equals SOY.
Stepping Up Efficiency
Operators should step up this eff
ficiency by ~ reducing or refusing
surface runoff, co wetting the field
TO a uniform depth, keeping deer
percolation losses at a minimum
and 60 wetting only that portion o
the soil profile that contains thu
roofing system.
BY knowing the storage capacit.
Of the soil Chow much water it viii
holdO and applying only slight,
more water than the soil will hold
the water losses will be as low a
can be expected.
In correcting conditions wher
water is being wasted, the author
of the bulletin recommended chez
on possible need for land levelin,
drainage or a different irrigatio
system. In one example shown j
the bulletin the water applicatio
efficiency on one farm was steppe
up from 80 percent under the Of

There is radiant heating in
