Hot action and cold words ln Palestine and Egypt have greet ed the latest American attempt to foster a new settlement in the Middle East
 Neither side has turned down the Dulles proposal for reset clement of Arab refugees, fix ing boundaries and establish ing guarantees. Yet the cold re- ception is obvious in unofficial reaction.
 The Dulles offer, however, is neither more nor less than the western powers agreed to do 1T 1948 when United Nations team stopped the Arab-1srael war with a weak truce.
 The Arabs had already lost the war. and the truce they were forced to accept merely fed their hatred of the Jews
 They vowed, and are still vowi41g, to retake Palestine.
 Toward that end they have kept alive the problem of the refugees, refusing to let them be moved away from Israeli's boundaries and insisting that they be allowed to return to their former holdings.
 Israel, on the other hand, has taken the position that the Arabs started the war after the United Nations partitioning de- cision, and that she is therefore entitled to keep extra territory not awarded her in that deci- sion, but occupied by her troops during the fighting.
 She has refused to accept in- ternationaIlizatiIon of Jerusalem and has established her govern ment in the ''new" city while leaving the older portion to Jordan.
 As a result of the boundary situation, people are being kill ed internationally in patrol clashes and deliberate raids.
 The situation has now work ed itself to the point where a new outbreak of war is feared. EgYpt. having reorganiZed

THREE JUVENILES PLACED ON PROBATION

Three Mt, Edgecumbe stud ents, two girls and one boy, all IS years of age, were in juven- ile court Monday afternoon on charges of soliciting liquor.
 Previously, two older per sons had been tried and sen fenced on changes of giving i- quor to minors.
 The three were placed on probation until they reach their 18th birthdays, and ordered to report to the Rev. Murlin Day who agreed to serve as parole officer for the court. Also they were ordered to attend the church of their choice each Sunday and report to MT. Day as often as he required it, also, being warned to obey his in- strutions in every respect.
 The trio were advised should they get into similar or other trouble with the law during their period of probation, each would be treated as second of lenders; in which case the court would probably refer them to the Department of Public Vel fare to be sent to reform or similar institution.

suggestions to help maintain egg
quality:
1(1) For Producers = Be sure
that market eggs are not fertile.
Eggs should be collected at least
three times daily and should be
cooled before they are packed.
Eggs should be marketed at least
twice weekly.
(2) For Dealers = Eggs should
be kept cool and should be pro-
tected from the sun while they
are being collected or delivered.
Rough handling and delays in
shipment should be avoided.
(3) For Consumers-Eggs should
be kept cool by being stored in
a refrigerator Immediately after
they are bought, They should be
kept away from foods such as fish
and onions to avoid absorption of
odors.
AS for mortality from hot
weather, Mumford claims ventila-
tion is the most important factor
in keeping the birds alive. Venti-
lators along the whole length of
the house will help solve the
problem. Glass windows in the
front of houses should be removed
during warm weather.
''In spite of general opinion to
the contrary, all drafts, caused by
such ventilation show no i'll effects
on poultry during the summer, ;"
Mumford states.
A liberal supply of fresh clean
water is very important. The
amount of drinking fountains
should be doubled.

Der of them have established new
highs for per-acre income. Lee
Towson, Manager of our Field and
Contract Department tells me that
many growers have received over
5000 per acre for their peas. The
value of the crop will total over
three quarters of a million dol
lars" Mr.. Seabrook went on to
state that Snap Beans, now being
harvested, may well duplicate the
pea experience. There is a very
good yield and the quality is high, :"
he said. "As regards income,
we're now paying substantially
above what the beans would bring
on the fresh market. We're pleas
ed about that, because it once
again proves that using Seabrook
as a market for vegetables will
many times pay og better than
other methods of marketing for
our friends and neighbors." As
paragus harvest is now entering
its final days, Mr.. Seabrook said.
There, too, yields and quality
have been high. All in all, we at
Seabrook Farms are well pleased
with yields and quality of all
products so far this year. We
hope it continues for the entire
growing season."

Shaded Gas Storage
Tanks Reduce Waste

Evaporation loss from unshaded
gasoline tanks on farms may run
as high as 10 per cent during a
hot summer month, says William
E. Larsen, agricultural engineer
at the University of Delaware.
Provide shade for the tank and
cut down on this loss" he advis-
es. mot only will your fuel bill
be less, but your engines will run
smoother, too. When part of the
gasoline evaporates, what's left
has a high gum content that can
cause sticky valves"
Place gasoline storage tanks at
least so feet away from the near
est building in the shade of trees or
under roof specially built for
the purpose. A tank in building
voids the fire insurance policy and
increases fire hazards.
Pressure valves are available
for tank vents. Larsen adds that
a good valve will pay for itself in
a short time. Such valves allow
the pressure to build up to or 8
pounds per square inch before
they release the pressure.
Underground storage tanks keep
gasoline in the best condition, but
they must be located away from
wells and sewer lines. A good
quality tank coated with water
proofing material helps prevent
leaks.
Another suggestion for gasolins
storage tanks is to tilt the tank
slightly so water and sediment
can collect in the end opposite the

Farm Trucks Must

"A traffic accident may give you

sistant County Agent Ralph Bar

With farm trucks an increas-
ingly valuable and important part

ment, farmers are subject to ad-
ditional hazards of an already

lowing suggestion for farm truck
drivers:
Know traffic signs and road
rules, and always obey them.
Come to full stop when en-
tering the main highway, at rail-
roads, or at regular stop signs
and do not proceed until it is safe
to do so.
Slow to a safe speed for turns
and use proper hand signals.
Keep lights, brakes, steering
mechanisms and windshield wipers
in perfect working order.
Be on the lookout for pedestri-
ans; watch for children when
backing from driveways.

areas. One is to use individual or
strip asphalt shingles and cement
down the tabs with quick>setting
asphalt cement. The other is to
use interlocking asphalt shingles.
These lock together so tightly that
the roof covering becomes one
piece, in effect, and it's virtually
impossible for the wind to lift
shingle tabs up.
Q-How can a fireplace be pre-
vented from smoking just after
the kindling has been ignited?
A-Hold burning stick in the
area where the smoke chamber
and fireplace proper meet. The
warmed air will create an upward
draft, which will pull the smoke

house are greatly enlarged this
year and include tomatoes, lima

tato growers will be interested in
the effect of various levels of nj

much more fertilizer, if any, is
needed when irrigation is used?"
Prof. E. M. Rain of the horti-

troll. The effect of irrigation on

Chicks Free of CRD
Predicted For Future

Someday poultrymen may be
able to ask for baby chicks certi-
fed free of chronic respiratory
disease (CRD) just as they ask
today for pullorum-free chicks.
This is the belief of DR.. E. F..
Waller, head of the animal and
poultry industry department at
the University of Delaware. DIR.
Waller points to research at Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute where
scientists have developed a
'freeze-agglutination" test which
is practical for detecting GRID
carrier birds.
The test is hailed as a major
step in the control of chronic re-
spiratory disease, common all
ment among poultry fiocks. AL
though most birds carry some i'm
munity, you can't count on it.
Research in deviSing ways to
control the disease was accelerat-
ed in IL states under the direction
of the U. S. Department of Agri-
cultures research service after
poultrymen in the Del-Mar-Va
area asked for, and got, special
appropriations. The year 1852
was a rough one in that area.
Mortality was high and price cuts
were heavy because of the disease.
Researchers also have succeeded
in isolating the most important
organism causing the disease-re-
ferred to as PPLO (for pleurol-
pneumonia-like organism) and
growing it artificially in the labor
atory. Since the organism can be
transmitted through the egg, in
fected birds should not be used for
breeding.
