TWIST

UNTT
TWIST
At the local round table ses-
sion we were reminded of an
incident that happened h ere
many .years ago. A family who
lived in half of double house
were ordered to move for fail
ure to pay their rent. The
problem was easily solved -
the family simply packed up
all of their worldly goods and
moved into the other side of
the house!
FACT
They keep saying that it's a
mans world but we notice that
everything is in the wife's
name.
LIVING
The reason that a lot of
men always get home at some
ungodly hour in the morning
is because it's the only place
open at that time of day.
BOOZE
Inspector: do you have
much trouble with insects in
your corn"
Moonshiner: yeah, but we
just strain 'em out and drink
her anyway"
TAXES
The Canadians stood by and
let the Parliament up there
put a tax of 20 per cent on
all newspaper and magazine
advertising. Result? 2. higher
subscription and advertising
rates for all Canadians! Who
in the world profits by a nom
sensical move like this one?
HOUSING
These so-called modern"
houses are just great if you
don't like an attic, a basement
and a spare room.
SURVEY
A recent survey shows that
sc per cent of American Wom-
err do their shopping in one
particular store. If this fact is
true, it would behoove every
merchant to try and make
YOU a steady customer!
OUGHT
The trend continuesl Once
they called 'em janitors but
now they are sanitary engin-
eers". The dog-catcher is now
known as an animal warden.
But the latest one is coming up
over east where the baby-sit-
ters are calling themselves
child chaperones".
HEYWooD
Old Haywood Snugg, the
Abe Lincoln of Warmers Cor
ners. says tn at his father
wasn't born in a log cabin but
that he moved into one as soon
as he could afford it. Says
Haywood, THE best position /
ever had was a reclining one!
And Heywood's old girl
friend, Big Nancy, was heard
to mutter as she threw a duck
into the cider press THAT
Haywood is the only guy on
earth who can take it lying
down.
CURE
Housewife we know tells us
that her husband is going
steady" quit drinking!
VENGEANCE
One gal who isn't "Madly
For Adlai' is his eX-wife, Mrs.
Ellen Borden Stevenson. Says
she, IT most certainly plan to
vote Republican again this
year. particularly if Adlai is
the Democratic candidate"
He'll hath no fury. /.
JOKE
Man walked into a booking
agents office and announced
that he had an act that would
revolutionize show biz. The
man told the agent that his
act was to have an assistant
break ball bat over his head.
Agent noticed tat the man
carried a huge suitcase and
asked, What do you carry in
that suitcase? ?" Man answered,
"Aspirins?
PoLLYTiCkS
According to our San Fran
cisco and Chicago correspon-
dents, a delegate-at-large is
just fellow who didn't bring
his wife to the conventions.
And it has also been brought
out that a political machine Is
one that is held together with
nuts not bolts.
DOUGH
True that money can't buy
love but it's great to have
around If you like to window
shop.
ELECTION YEAR
We like an election year for
only one reason it is the only
time in four when you can

Corn Stalk Rot
Can Reduce Yields

Corn stalk rot makes mechanical
picking difficult and reduces corn
yields. Corn stalk rot also causes
stalks to rot and break-over causes
premature ripening and rotting of
the ears These three symptoms of
stalk rot may cut corn yields con-
siderable says Dr. L. o. Weaver,
/ University Of Maryland plant pa
biologist.
What can you do 10 control this
disease which alsa attacks cereal
crops such as wheat, barley and
rye?, many farmers ask.
Crop rotation and blowing under
crop residues is part of the answer
given by Dr. Weaver Spores that
cause the disease, develop in crop
residues left on top of the ground.
Root and stalk rots become evident
soon after pollination and increase
until the crop natures. The disease
is spread to the ears by spore laden
winds. pillow under stalks and
straw to bury these spores and re-
duce the chances of having an in
fected crop next year" says the
