Answer to Question No. 1.

Minor burns are painful and
annoying and should be proper
ly cared for. If large areas Of
skin are burned it is apt to be
very serious and sometimes fatal.
Then expert medical attention is
required. Modern methods and
new drugs make it possible to
save many who are badly burn
ed. With burns, an ounce of pre-
vention is worth a ton Of cure.

DIET FOR DEER

MISSOULA, Mont. A pro-
per diet is as conducive to old
age in deer as II humans, says
DR.. Z. l.. Cheatum who heads the
state fish and game departments
cooperative research unit here.
DR.. Cheatum stated that checks
on deer brought by hunters show
that good grass range enables
Montana deer to live ten years or
more. The grass also increases
the animals reproductive rate to
twice that of those living on poor

The best gardens are the ones
with owners who have at least a
rudimentary idea of soil and its
proper use. A working understand
ing of ones particular soil is the
single, vital foundation of good
gardening.
In the first place, soil consists OF
two things: mineral particles
formed by the slow breakdown of
rocks, and organic particles caused
by the decay of plant and animal
life. Most soils contain proper
ton of each.
Soil Quality Varies
The degree of disintegration
the rock frequently determines the
quality of the soil for garden pur-
poses. A coarse sand, for instance,
permits quick drainage, allows nu-
trients to leach away and is apt to
be less fertile than desirable. On
the other hand, a heavy clay soil
retains moisture, excludes air and
is usually difficult to handle. A
soil somewhere between these two,
rich in organic matter, neither too
light nor too heavy, is generally
to be desired.
Most plants are fec by mineral
and organic nutrients dissolved III
water, so it is important that soils
have a certian amount of water
holding capacity. Air is also es-
scntial to the roots. Soil should be
regarded simply as a medium to
brace a plants roots and be a
conveyor of food which will make
it grow.
Food can be given to plants in
two ways: by supplying the soil
with organic elements and depend
ing on natural processes, like rain,
snow, frost, bacterial action to
translate it into food, or by sup
plying the soil with chemical fer
tiliZers.
Most gardeners use both, work
ing with manures, compost, hum
us, bone meal, peat moss, and
other substances which improve
the texture of soils as well as pro-
vide plant food. Then they sup
plement with chemical fertilizers,
most of which contain in formula,
nitrogen, phoSphoric acid and pot
ash, plus trace minerals"
Nitrogen Needed
The fertility Of most soils de-
pend almost entirely, however, on
the presence of the three named
specially nitrogen. Some crops re-
quire more nitrogen than others
particularly leaf crops. Potash is
essential in stimulating root crops.
The percentage of each nutrient is
indicated in formulas printed on
containers of commercial fertiliz-
ers, as 5-10-5, showing in order the
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash
content.
If you harvest crop of cut
flowers, it is necessary to fertilize,
because food reserves in the
ground are being removed Gas
they are when you sweep the lawn
after mowing)
Soils range, depending on many
factors, from acid to alkaline.
Most plants thrive best in almost
neutral soils, from slightly acid to
slightly alkaline. 1t is wise to find
out the degree of your soil and to
pick your plants to meet it. How
ever, if you wish to change the
factor on small basis, aluminium
sulphate creates acidity; periodic
applications of lime agricultural
lime lasts longer than powdered
will increase the alkilinity. It's
expensive to try TO make major
changes.

Drainage important


Drainage of soil is another con-
cern of the gardener. In the event

absorbed readily by the soil or
which fails to drain off properly

should be taken. Sometimes i'm
proving the quality of the soil
achieves this; sometimes it is
necessary to put drainage facili-
ties, such as pebble-filled trenches
or agricultural tiles into the
ground to carry off excessive
water. Plants can drown and they
can rot from too much water.
Finally, soils like a variety in
the things they grow. A "sick"
soil is one which is tired of a GER

Defense Production
SUPPORT PRICES ARE

GRAIN MARKET prices may go
up and down as crops are harvested,
new estimates are. made or weather
conditions change, but farmers can
be certain of the minimum prices
they will receive if they use the
governments price support pro-
gram.
Production and Marketing admin
istration officials emphasized this
fact this month by reviewing cur
rently available support prices un-
der loan and purchase agreement
programs. At the same time, they
pointed out that the current market
prices for some commodities are be-
low effective support levels.
Farmers who are in position to
store their products and take either
a loan or purchase agreement stand
to make some money-as well as
avoid transportation and storage
difficulties that result from harvest
season dumping.
In Montana, August support rates
for U. S. No. / winter and heavy
spring wheat ranged from $1.92 in
Beaverhead county to $2.12 in Car
ter and Wibaux, with the central
Montana rate at So in most coun-
ties. Barley supports ranged from
$1.02-per-bushel low, again in
Beaverhead county, to a high of
$1.14 in Lincoln, with the central
Montana average about $1.10.
oat support prices averaged So
cents in the central Montana coun-
ties, but hit a high of "a cents in
Sanders and Lincoln counties, a low
of 66 cents in Daniels and other
northeastern counties. And flax

age $3.50 in central Montana and a

and pasture grass seeds, includin
most of those widely grown in Mon

chairman; Miss Margaret Dundon,
religious activities chairman; Mrs.
Joseph Refs, Catholic charities
chairman: Mrs. John Rodich, PTA
vice president, and Mrs. John Mar
tindale, treasurer Of the Altar So
ciety.
In less than half an hour, using
the radio quiz-show technique. they
covered the study club course.
Sample questions and answers:
Why should we have study
clubs?
To prepare for Catholic Action.
To develop an articulate laity. To
help people become informed. on
all phases Of our religion as it af-
fects the various activities of our
life-family life. social relation
ships, legislation, and so on -.
How can study club be started?
BY one interested person, with
her pastors permission, inviting
eight TO II persons to join her. IF
the pastor can appoint a priest
moderator, good. If not, a leader is
chosen to conduct the meetings.
Where can these meetings be
held?
In the home, the school, the par
ish hall-any place convenient to
the members.
When can they be held?
Any time, at the convenience Of
the members. Some meet in the af-
ternoon. some in the evening, usu-
ally twice month. II has been
proved that clubs break up be-
cause of too few meetings rather
than because Of too many.
Other questions and answers
made it clear that common inter
ests are more important than com
mon age levels. that discussion
clubs may include men or women
or both, that some meetings are
devoted half to religious topic
and half to current events.
Members of the audience found
out that there is plenty of printed
material to help discussion club
leaders, and found out where to
get it.
One question brought the whole
subject down to the individual per
son: How will study clubs affect
me?
The answer came clear and di.
rect: After two or three meetings
you will be pleased to see that you
have clear ideas about what you
have been discussing, a readiness
of speech and an easy confidence
in talking to other people about
the discussion topics. You will find
yourself talking religion, of all
things, to the girl in the office,
the man on the bus, the luncheon
companion in the restaurant, the
housewife next door. And they will
be grateful for it. More discus.
sion clubs will make more articu.

Catholics will make more Catho

There was a lot more-but by
