tenths are semi-skilled. The rest
are largely unskilled or mex
perienced. About two out of
every three men are under As
years of age. Many have been
assemblers, inspectors, material
handlers, and box-machine op-
orators in the manufacture of
wood containers.
Others have worked as kiln
tenders and kiln placers in brick
and tile plants; and as buffing-
machine operators in the produc-
ton of fabricated metals. A num-
Der also have experience in coal
mining as leaders, oilers, and op-
orators or drag lines and power
shovels: and in crude-oil and gas
production as tool dressers and
cable drillers.
About one-sixth of the women
are qualified for clerical, sales,
or service occupations. A similar
proportion are semi-Skilled. The
remainder are mostly ineXperi-
enced or unskilled. Over four
fifths of the women are between
the ages of 18 and 35.
Some have held jobs in metal
fabricating as assemblers, inspec-
tors, and stamping-machine op-
orators in container production
as assemblers; and in pottery
manufacture as finishers and
dippers. Others have been sew
ing machine operators and in
spectors in the processing of
plastic goods.

Soaking Blankets
Reduces Shrinkage

Soaking instead of washing
blankets helps eliminate shrink
age as well as dirt, according to
n home economist at Ohio State
University.
DR.. Elaine K. Weaver says
shortening washing time can re-
duCe shrinkage by so percent.
Too much agitation is the main
reason for shrunken and felted
blankets.
First step in the soak method
is to fill the machine with warm
water and TO add a detergent.
Mrs. Weaver says synthetic de-
tergents are best because of their
high Wetting qualities and abb
sence of soap curd.
Blankets can go into the ma
chine after it has run long
enough to dissolve the detergent.
While blankets are soaking,
homemakers should turn them
two or three times by hand. Agi-
tation, however, will produce
shrinkage. After blankets soak
Is or 20 minutes, water is re-
moved by spinning or wringing.
Two deep-rinse soaks of s.
minutes each, during which
blankets are turned by hand,
complete the process. Remove
water after each rinse.
DR.. Weaver says warm, breezy
days are best for drying. Stretch
and pull blankets while wet and
turn over while drying. After
blankets are dry, brushing with
steel bristles set in rubber-ar
ordinary pet brush-will raise
the nap and soften blankets.

DDT Will Kill
Undesirable Bee
Tenants In Home

When bees go house-hunting,
they may become as desperate
as humans in the same predica-
ment.
Charles A. Reese, extension
entomologist at Ohio State Uni
versity, says stray sWarms bees
care little that a house is Oc-
cupied. They often set up house
keeping in house walls. Rent
paying human tenants or owners
who think bees crowd the dwell
ing too much can rid themselves
of the unWelcome visitors with
DDT.
A 80 to SO percent DDT dust
obtainable at most seed, hard
ware and farm supply stores
applied with an ordinary hand
type plunger dust gun will kill
bees. Reese says to load dust gun
with about p pound Of DIT dust,
put the nozzle in the. entrance
used by the bees and pump
vigorously.
It may be necessary to en-
large the entrance or bore a hole
near the swarm if it can be
located. All openings should be
sealed within few days after
the DDT has been applied.
Reese warns householders not
to use honey after bees have
been killed with DDT. He also
advises people to protect exposed
portions of the body with a bee
veil and gloves, and to secure the
trouser-legs at the ankles with a
string, or elastic band while bees
are being busted.

Setting Tobacco

There's a feeling that few
youngsters
Ever know in this great
age.
Takds a damp and steamy
groundwork
For the setting of this stage.
Takes a heap of perseverance
And a back that's bound to
bend
For the setting of Tobacco.
Lots Of energy you eXpend.
Pulling plants within the
framework of the old
tobacco bed,
Then transferring to the
burrows
That from buckets will be fed.
Dropping each one equi-distant
From it's tiny brother plant
Then to follow up with
pegging
Takes some labor you will
grant.
Calloused palms and water
blisterS
From the old tobacco pegs.
Sweaty broWs and muddy
footsteps
Tendons stretched in weary
legs.
Backs so broken from the
STOPPING
Burned perhaps by a hot
Surely there's no sweeter
climax
Than the thrill when you are
done.
Swell the earth with its moist
fragrance
See the infants in their
rows
Feel that sticky, pulling
traction
AS the mud squirms thru your
toes.
Knowing well that all your
labOr'S
Fraught with danger from
below,
There will be cutWorm trans
planting
When the tobacco you first

in the following issue.
A successful and lasting agri-
culture depends on an adequate
supply of productive land, pro-
perly used and SO protected from
erosion that it will remain per-
manently productive.
As long as a nation has enough
productive land, it ordinarily
can continue to produce its food
and fiber and many of the raw
materials of its industry. But if
the land is neglected or unwisely
used, it will be washed by
erosion and the certain consequ-
ences will be deficiencies which
will lead eventually to a lower
ed living standard, poverty, un-
employment, hunger, and ma
tional decline. That has been the
tragic result in many of the
worlds older agricultural areas.
Let lis turn back the curtain of
this vast country of ours until
around the early 1905.
Farms up until this time had
haphazard care. They were plow-
ed on sloping land from top to
bottom, regardless of washing.
Very little fertilizer was applied.
1t consisted mostly of just barn
yard manure. Lots of fields soon
became too poor to raise much
and the farmer would just let
them grow up in shrub apples
and weeds. Sometimes after
seeds were sown, a heavy rain
came and washed both the seed
and plowed ground away. Even
today, there is over 100000 acres
of land washed and blown away
each year.

Review Corn Borer
Control Measures
For Ohio Farmers

One of the best ways to con-
troll European corn borer in dent
corn in Ohio is to plant resistant
hybrids at the proper time.
E. T. Hibbs, entomologist, and
G. II. Stringfield, agronomist, at
the Ohio Agricultural Expert
nent Station say these hybrids
ern resistant to early-summer at
tacks by borers: Ohio K 62, Ohio
W 81, Ohio c 54 and Ohio L ST..
Ohio K % and Ohio w 10 are less
resistant.
Recommended planting dates
in northern Ohio Qatitude of
VanWerD are between May Is
and May 25; in the west central
part Of the state latitude of Co.
iumbus), May 10 to May 20, are
recommended.
Borer resistance in hybrids ap-
pears to be most effective during
early growth of corn plants
Planting moderately early as
EureS that resistant plants Will be
ut the most resistant period of
growth when the first brood
borers appear.
No corn is immune to the bor-
or. Research shows, however,
that fewer borers survive on the
hybrids listed above. These hy-
birds also are more tolerant of
borers that do survive.
In any area of Ohio, corn
planted too early is most likely

ton Of early-summer borers.
Corn planted too late will miss
this brood but may be heavily in
tested by late-summer borers.

But in the early 1905 the
picture began to change, and for
the better.
The CCC camps furnished
labor to set out thousands of
pine, locust and shrubs in washes
and slips, thereby holding the
soil, and adding beauty to bare
hills. The farmer can thereby
derive an income as he maintains
a wood lot.
After the CCC came W.P.A.,
with mine sealings which also
helped in eradicating gullies and
big useless holes.
The A.A.A. had by now set up
a fund to pay the farmer to NOW
his pastures twice a year. The
county agents help test the soil
SO we will know just how much
and what kinds of fertilizer and
lime to use on each of our fields.
The soil conservation service
helps lay out the fields for con-
tour blowing. This saves our
fields from washing. They also
plan our dams and farm ponds
for an abundant supply of water
for our stock and homes. The
farm pond is good for recreation
and adds much to the appearance
of a farm home.
The Successful Farming maya
zine says over six billion tax
dollars have been spent in soil
conservation.
Well managed farms with
plenty of good pastures and hay,
good yields of grain, make good
healthy cattle, sheep, hogs,
chickens, and turkeys. These give
the farmer a good income which
enables him to buy tractors and
machinery to make his work
easier and quicker. It helps him
beautify his home, put in water,
bath room, labor saving devices
for his wife and children, so they
will have time to have well
| ordered home and still find time
for All, Grange, Church, P.T.A.
and other community affairs,
thereby having a more Abund-
ant Life.
Modern soil conservation leads
to increased and lasting pro-
ductivity of the land, and pro-
notes the common welfare. But
modern soil conservation does
much more than safeguard land.
On most farms it both increases
per acre yields and lowers cost
of production. This, in turn,
starts a series of benefits, such
as: Cd increased income for
farmers: CD increased taxes for
support of local, state and feder-
al governments: (3) increased
trade for both rural and urban
communities: and (4) increased
employment for professional
skilled and unSkilled workers.
Modern soil conservation leads
to a more flexible and diversified
type of agriculture. 1t helps tc
| alleviate drought damage tc
crops, pastures, and meadows. II
aids in the creation of a greater
pride and satisfaction in farming
and encourages sons and daugh-
tiers of farmers to stay on the
| farm and to become partners
with their parents in the farm
ing business.

Money Earned.
By Brookfield
Club TO CARE
Needy Greek Families
Receive Gifts From
Funds Raised Locally

Members of the Brookfield All
club of Noble county today learn
ed what disposition was made OF
the Sl10 which they earned and
turned over to CARE to assist
residents of Korea and Europe.
Thirty-three members of the
Brookfieid club, last spring plan
ned six acres of corn on land
donated by the D. C. Coal COM
pany.
They cultivated and harvested
their crop and sold it early this
year, with $110 of the profit 60
ing to CARE. The club advisor
is John Hedge of Caldwell Route
2.
An additional $3.50, represent
ing the remainder of the profit,
will be turned over to CARE
later.
According to an announcement
by CARE, the contribution was
divided about equally between
Korea and Greece.
A plow was presented 16-year-
old Dritsas J. Vasilios, enabling
him to set out as a farmer in
his own right in his native vii
lage of Markopoulo in the dis
trict of Attikis, northern Greece.
Young Vasilios, according to
CARE, had the theoretical
knowledge that. would make him
a good farmer. For two years
ever since finishing elementary
school, Vasilios had been a pupil
of the National Agricultural
school near Athens.
He was a good pupil but hated
to return home as his family's
property has been devastated by
enemy powers during the war
and by guerrilla warfare that
followed.
Farming had to be done with
wooden hoes and rakes. Wher
graduation day rolled around
King Paul attended the exercises
and distributed prizes to the top
ranking students. The prize that
awaited Vasillios was a ploW. II
came as a gift from the Brook
field club.
Vasilios told the CARE mission
chief:
Just what we needed in our
village. Tell them please, in
Brookfield that l thank them
from the bottom of my heart.
only wish l could write English
so l could tell them myself how
much this means to me to all OF
us in my village. When my faith
er and I do now use this ploW
we shall lend it to neighborS."
In addition to the plow, CARE
sent another $17.50 plow to {
Greek farmer and three of CARE
S. family food packages went to
needy Greek families.
The remainder of the Brook
field clubs contribution went as
$40 food packages to refugees in
Korea.
With the contribution to CARE
Hedge wrote CARE:
1--WE have sold the corn and
enclosed you will find $1l0. The
committee thought perhaps most
help would be needed in Korea
but is leaving it to you to spend
it as you think best. If you think
part of it should go to Europe
that will be OK"
The club, which was comprised
of 18 girls and Is boys last year,
has not decided its project fol-
this summer. Assisting John
Hedge as advisor were his broth
ers, James who is again helping
this year, and Dale, now in the
service.
The club has a membership of
20 boys and 20 girls this year and
meets regularly at the school
house.
