Cleveland Farmers club. The
purpose being to further rural
urban relations and bring the
city folks and the farm fami-
lies closer together. After each
of the counties in the northern
section of the State have made
their selections a comaaSttee is
sent to each of the farms to
make the final selection for the
otate. The Farmer Of tn
rear is selected not only on
Inc basis of his farm opera
LIONS but also on the contribu-
tlln ne had made to family liv-
ing, community, school, church
Soclal and many other things
Inc Grosvenors have a wav of
ilIe to be proud of. Their farm
is more than just a means Of
earning a living, it is living
congratulations on this honor
would like to remind anv
OF the farmers in this area
VINO have wheat, oats or other
small grains to store to check
Lne condition of your granarv
NOW is the time to control in
sect and rodent damage n
your grain. When you haul it in
from the field it is clean-keep
II that way. Under the Pure
Food and Drug Act contamin-
ated grain fna be refused at
the mills. This means that YOU
might lose the dollar differ
ence between food wheat and
Ieed wheat. 1t could be costly
Make your bins as rat and
mouse proof as possible. Screen
the windows or other OPENINGS
to keep the birds out and DO
NOT let the farm cats have
access to the bins.
Grain Weevils remain behind
In large numbers when small
grain bins are emptied out
These bins should be cleaned
thoroughly and sprayed with 5
percent DDT or methoxychlor
solution at least three weeks
before grain harvest. Grain
WeevilS cannot fly so they do
not infeSt grain before harvest
or come in with the new grain
from the field. Another method
OF treatment is to use pyren-
one protectant powder (7k
lbs.-100 Bu.) as the grain is
dumped on the truck or into
the elevator If the grain is
then stored in a treated bin
weevil losses cannot develop.
The treatment costs about two
cents a bushell and is the best
kind of weevil insurance.
With fair time drawing nigh
many of the youth activities in
the county are beginning to
reach feveriSh pitch. Judging
contests, individual and team
demonstrations, fitting livestock
for show, and planning the jun
ior fair are just a few of the
things which are filling tn e
minds of our young folks to-
day. Along these lines the
Junior Leadership club is plan
ming several additional events
for the near future.
