System Improves
Yard Liqhtinq

Yard lights that may be turned
on from a number of different
switch locations without a lot of
connecting wires are one Of the
latest improvements adding to the
safety and convenience of modern
farming.
The lights are controlled by q
voltage system with small
capacity wires connecting the vari-
Gus switches. explains A. "
Krewatch, extension agricultural
engineer at the University OF
Maryland.
The lamps are self-contained
reflector floodlights or projecto,
spot lamps. They may be pur-
chased in special receptacles with
swivel joints for ease in directing
the beams to the right area.

Life in the Country
Greener Pastures Summon Hungry Hefers
And Electric Fence Is No Barrier

We are q little disappointed ir
two of our Jersey heifers. We
treat them well. speak only kline
words in their hearing, and give
them q pat on the head every
time we walk by. They should bt
contented on The 40 Acres. but
apparently they are not.
They have the wanderlust. They
are no longer satisfied with home
pastures, but want to get out ano
look for greener fields. They
found one, too. They got over in
Tweed Howser's wheat field, where
they spent an afternoon and made
nice deep tracks in the wheat.
Tweed said they looked mighty
pretty there against the green
wheat, but that since it was wet
he would just as soon forgo the
beauty and have me keep the
heifers at home. He said those
deep tracks would make riding a
binder mighty bumpy when wheat
harvest time comes around.
That got us into more troubles
It seems that keeping a couple OF
heifers that want to wander al
home takes a lot of doing. We
watched to see where they got
through the fence, but they
wouldn't 60 visiting when we had
our eyes on them. But just as
soon as our backs were turned
off they would go.
Finally. we hid behind pine
tree and caught the big one. She
is pretty good, too. She gets
down on her knees and Scoots un-
der the electric fence. Then she
kicks up her heels and heads
straight for the wheat field.
We went to work and built an

New Rose Dust
DEVELOPED at VPl

Another general-purpose rose
dust mas been developed at VPI
and will be available on the mar
ket during the 1851 season, says
S. B. Femme, plant pathologist at
the college.
Femme says a rose dust formu-
lated at VPI several years ago has
proved valuable in controlling most
of the common insects and leaf
spot diseases on flowers, especially
roses. The new dust Is expected
to be similar aid.
The first dust, which is still
on the market. contains copper,
sulphur and DOT. The new dust
contains ferbam, sulphur and
rotenone.

Shallow PLANTING

Shallow-rooted plants, such as
dogwood. holly. hemlock. lockwood
and ododendron, should be
planted in shallow holes. A. G..
Smith, jr., associate horticulturist
at VPI. says if you try to plant
them deep they may die. Mulch
with Q inches of leafmold, or q
mixture of sawdust and soil. In
most cases, rhododendron will be
helped with a light application
OF aluminium sulphate. Scatter
the aluminium sulphate.. and water
as soon as the plants are. set.

THIS THANKSGIVING A DAY OF PRAYER

THANKSGIVING DAY has been a day for stopping lof-
enough to give thanks to God for providing plenty and spar
ing and protecting us from harm and danger. AT least mar !,
the theory upon which the day is founded. Beginning in 1921
the brave band Of Pilgrims sat down with Indians to feast on
wild turkey, corn, berries, venison and pumkin pie. The feast
such as it was, had as its purpose the symbol of plenty and
giving OF thanks for having been led through a most depress-
ing winter, and for the produce of the fields. 1t also brought
together the newcomer and the real native, the Indian, in an
atmosphere OF peace and understanding. 1t is a matter of his
torical knowledge that the Indians and many of the colonies
did not get along SO very well, and thus there was particular
significance in the fact that Indians net only refrained from
disturbing the Pilgrims, but brought venison and took part
in the feast.
BUT THAT WAS in 1921. Because of world tension
made hot by the cold war, religious and political leaders
throughout the democratic world have called for this
Thanksgiving Day to be dedicated to prayer and thoughts of
peace and understanding. In America there is plenty and to
spare. The farms have produced, the mines and factories have
answered the call, and SO, on Thanksgiving Day there will
be roast turkey on practically every table, to say nothing of
the trimmings and the gaiety- In such a mood Of compIacency
and satisfaction there is the tendency to forget that material
plenty is not self-sustaining; that there is the need for some
thing that goes much deeper than riches and the ability to ap-
propriate large sums for causes good, bad, and indifferent.
THIS THANKSGIVING is to be a day of thank
full prayer. Thanks will be given that America is still free;
that its people may move freely and express themselves with
out the fear Of having to look over their shoulders as they
speak; that the dignity of the individual still remains the key
note OF the freedom we cherish. This spirit, if observed faith
fully enough is bound to spread to the rest of the world and
the desired results accomplished.
PRAYER this thanksgiving is that the spirit Of man
kind will turn to peace, and that the brotherhood of man will
prevent another war which will no doubt destroy not only
cities and nations, but civilization itself.
