Q-I'm planning to pour con-
crete steps. What's an easy way
to be sure the concrete cures
properly?
A-For full strength, concrete
poured should be kept damp as
it hardens. One way to do this is
to cover the concrete with bur-
lap after it has set for a day,
then keep the burlap damp with
a garden hose. Concrete never
should be poured when the tenn
perature is below freezing.
Q-What should be done to a
furnace during the summer to
get it ready for the next heating
season?
A-Here's a check list recon-
mended by a heating and air
conditioning manufacturer, the
Coleman Company: Clean or re-
place the air filter Replacement
is better), vacuum-clean the
burner if gas is the fuel you
use, and oil the fan bearing as
semblies and the fan motor. ac-
cording to the manufacturers
instructions. In addition, call in
a service man to make a routine
check. Inspection and regulation
of the controls and the burner
are part of the job he'll do.
OIL want to build on pier
foundation. How far apart should
the piers be?
A-Piers should be about six
to eight feet apart around the

| perimeter of the building. If
they are placed much farther
apart, the floor will not have
proper support and may have
an objectional amount of bounce.
Q-Is there a simple tool for
cutting holes in rock or ma
sonry?
"A star drill will do the
job. 1t is held in one hand and
tapped with a hammer. The
drill is revolved slightly after
each tap.
Q-Can solder two pieces of
aluminium together?
A-Use special aluminium SOL
der. Roughen both pieces of
metal with emery cloth or
wire brush.
Q-The walls of my house are
brick veneer. I'd like to insulate
the walls, but is there any way
to get the insulation behind the.
brick?
A few individual bricks
would be removed and holes
'lrilled in the sheathing to per-
nit insertion of a hose to blow
mineral wool into the walls.
When the blowing is finished the
hole is sealed and the bricks are
carefully replaced. There are
similar techniques for insulating
walls of all types, including
stone veneer, clapboard and
shingle. There's a way to insu-
late any hollow wall with min
eral wool.

The Republican argume n
hinges on this motive" and wis
DOM" We contend that political
overturn of state agencies for
patronage purposes is unwise and
highly improper. We hold to our
argument that the use of respon-
sible and vital state agencies to
discharge political obligations is
against the public interest. A
number of prominent Democrats
concur. Elbert Carvel, present
Democratic party state chairman,
opposes "ripperism." In January
1856, he resigned party chairman
ship so that someone more SYM
pathetic to "ripperism" could take
over. Tyler Mcconnell, Democra-
tic candidate for governor, has
admitted he opposes "ripperism. /"
Early in 1855, Democratic lead
ers, meeting in Wilmington, at
tempted to persuade Democrat
legislators to abandon plans to
rip out agencies with the greatest
number of jobs. They failed, be-
cause Democrat legislators want
jobs and more jobs to build politi-
cal power.
From a practical standpoint.
what have been the results of
"ripperism ?" Here are examples:

Insulation is easily cut to in
between sizes on the job. A sharp
knife is the only tool necessary.
An ordinary kitchen knife works
well.
The bait or blanket should be
cut an inch, or a little less, wider
than the space to be filled. This
assures a snug fit.
When insulation is cut, the va
por barrier should be allowed to
project out far enough to serve
as a flange for fastening. Cut
from the non-vapor barrier side
of the blanket to the vapor bar
rier.

The court opinion has not re-

not and is not a legal matter. 1t
is a moral issue. We believe Grip
perism" decreases the efficiency,
propriety and economy of govern
ment, and every responsible DEM
ocrat agrees with us. Ripper

demagogic exercise of legislative
authority, and a mark of intellec-

that grossly violates the public
interest.

The age of a house is no barrier
to converting its attic into living

and your coloring.
Figure. The shape of a dress
tmeaning the design or silhou-
ette) is as important as it's size
in determining how much 1t will
do for you. If you're tall, wear
full skirts, long tunics, wide
belts, large patterns, broad col
lars and big pockets.
If you're short, shun every
thing but the leanest. simplest
models cut on a small scale. A
beltless sheath is good for you.
The heavier figure calls for
dresses with vertical patterns
and dark colors. High necklines
are good. Avoid unnecessary
ruffles that only add to apparent
girth. Never select a sleeveless
or tight-fitting dress.
Personality. The dress you
choose tells a lot about you. An
easy shirtwaister says you're the
casual type. A slick black linen
spells sophistication. If you're
very feminine, choose a whirly
skirted frock with delicate
pastel, fiower-sprinkled pattern.
Be strict with yourself when
you decide what age group Is
proper for you.
Coloring. Brunettes with fair
skin glow in black and VIVID
shades of red, pink. blue, green.
Blondes and Latin type brunettes
look best in blonde colors ana
corals, yellows and browns: Me-
dunn coloring is fiattered by
navy. pastels, soft greys. FOR
redheads, pink and red are won

coloring. clear reds or delicate

blues. Never be afraid to expert
ment with color.
Always ask your saleslady If
the Upper is catch-free. and
check labels to see If the dress
is washable and colorfast. It's
a good idea to look for the name
of a reputable manufacturer.
For example, if the dress is made
bv Susan Ross, who makes a
million and a half dresses year,
you can buy with confidence
! even though the price is small.
No matter what kind of dress
you buy. be sure to try 1t on
before you leave the store. The
dress that attracts your eye on
the rack may be pretty but how
1t looks on you Is what counts.

How to Cut Harvest Losses
of Soybeans


On the average, farmers now
lose about 16 percent of their
total soybean yield in the pro-
cess of harvesting, reports Ern-
est Scarborough, agricultural en-
gineer at the University of Della
ware. He says that a few rules
observed at harvest can cut this
loss in half and increase yields
by or 8 bushels an acre.
1t takes only 4 beans left per
square foot to total a bushel per
acre, Scarborough points out. He
lists major loopholes through
which losses occur. They are,
shatter losses, cutter bar and reel
losses, cylinder losses, and, sep
aration and cleaning losses.
To reduce shatter losses, Scar
borough recommends harvesting
before the beans become too dry.
He says that losses in the field
before harvesting usually can be
held to 1 percent If this recon-
mendation is followed.
The actual amount of cutter
bar and reel losses can be checs-
ed by tossing piece of canvas
or small sheet of plywood un-
der the combine when it's oper-
ating. Cutter bar losses will be
found under the canvas along
with shatter loss; rack losses
will be found on top of the can
vas.
To cut down on cutter bar
losses, cut as close to the ground
as possible. Each additional inch
in height of cut means an aver
age loss of Ia bushels an acre.
Second recommendation in less
ening cutter bar losses is to ad-
just the reel speed to be 25 to
so percent faster than ground
speed. A higher speed does a
better job of laying beans on the
platform but increases losses
from shattered pods.
Third recommendation is to
use reel guards to divide the
vines and prevent pile-up on the
cutter bar when you are working
in lodged or down vines. Three
or four extension fingers on each
bar also will help when operating
in down beans.
Cylinder losses show up in the
form of cracked beans. Especial
ly in the case of the Clark vari-
ETY., excessive cylinder losses will
show up if the beans are too. ma
ture. They should be threshed at
a moisture content of IL to IA
percent. Time-of-day can make
a big difference in your moisture
content.
If you use some of the beans
for seed, it will be better to leave
some pods unthreshed rather than
overthresh and damage the beans.
Cracked beans will mean poor
termination.
To reduce cylinder losses, CYL
inder speed should be about one
half normal speed, or as low as
400 to 500 r.p.m.'s. To check
this, you can get a speed indi-
Gator from your machinery dealer
for as little as 81 or So.
To reduce separation losses,
use more air than when combin-
ing wheat. Don't let too many
beans get into the tailings. They
will probably be cracked the sec
ond time they go through the
cylinder if you do.
For cleaner beans, use larger
weed screens than with wheat.
If you can get premium for
clean beans, it will pay you to
get clean-scouring attachment
for your bin elevator.
Scarborough has one last sug-
gestion TO reduce harvest losses
of beans. He advises level cul-
tivation next summer. Cleaner
cultivation, leaving little if any
ridge, will pay off at harvest time

One day In 1883 Doane took the cars" for New

melody kept running through his mind. Concluding
his business, the composer hurried over to Brook

to get the cars back to Cincinnati, asked "Aun
Fanny" to mail him words for the music. Blu
Fanny Crosby asked Doane to start writing. Al
fast as the composer could take down the words thu

story. Doane was on his way to the station In 1.
minutes.
Settled on the train, the business man-composeI

Says County
E.B. President

''The veto of the farm bill by
President Eisenhower was most un-
wise," Wayne Neil, president of
the Lewis & Clark County Farm
Bureau, stated in prepared state
ment Monday.
Neil, a Canyon Creek farmer
stockman, praised the bipartisan
support accorded the farm bill in
the Congress, and stated the meas
ure was designed to "give farmers
a share of the government protec-
ton afforded other segments of
our economy.
Properly administered" he con-
tended, "the recently vetoed farm
bill would have been good for farm
ers as well as the national economy
as a whole.
at should be emphasized, he
added, that farmers have received
less than ten per cent of the fed
eral money handed out in various
forms of subsidies in the last 20
years, and that most farmers real
ize that they cannot produce and
sell on a so-called free market when
most of the things they need are
bought in a controlled market.
agriculture is the biggest bust
ness in Montana" the county Farm
Bureau leader pointed out. at is
three times as large as the next
largest. which is mining, including
oil production. Because of its domi
nant position in the states econom-
ic life, the farm income drop has
an especially large impact on Mon
tana's economy"

GREAT FALLS-Presiden Eisen.
hower's veto of the farm bill twas q
serious and in some cases a disastrous
blow to the economic welfare of thou
sands of struggling farm families in
Montana" D. w. Chapman, president
of the Montana Farmers Union, said
this week.
Chapman, who had just returned
from meeting of the National Farm
ers Union executive board in Denver,
said the board viewed the veto as "a
staggering blow to the nations farm
economy" and agreed it will cost
American farmers at least So billion
this year.
He pointed out that Montana's
farm income dropped $87,900,000
from 1851 to 1854, according to
the 1854 Census of Agriculture. In
the same period, the census showed,
3,100 farm families-11 per cent
were forced off the land.
"A loss of this magnitude means
eventual disaster not only to family
farmers, but to many small business
men," Chapman said. "When nearly
$88, 100000 drops out of circulation
in Montana, it's deadly serious mat
ter for everyone. Consider the fact
that all the copper produced in Mon
tana in 1854 was worth only $685.
100000, and all the oil only $751;
100000. A lot of people besides farm
ers are going to be tightening their
belts if this agricultural depression
continues to spread and intensity"
