Here, There and Everywhere
By SIG DECREE

faced with the task of removing 66,350 square feet of tile from floors of the headquarters build ing. He constructed metal box with eight heat lamps mounted inside the top. He regulated their distance from the floor so the heat on the tiles would be enough to melt the glue but never so hot that there would be any danger of fire. He added an extension cord, and was ready for testing.
 It was a complete success. The tile remover did the work of one man, because it did its work ahead of the workman. He could be removing heated tiles and re- placing them with new while the machine was working ahead. The device also speeded up the job.
 There are other advantages of this device over blow torch not brought out in the report of the Army Engineers. Intra-red lamps are used nowadays as heat lamps to take out aches and pains; as health lamps; for roasting meat. The same lamps used on the body or the meat could be used on the tile-thns giving them dual or triple purpose. Red meat eaters could forgo their little tidbits long enough to replace a broken tile.
 Seriously, though, we thought the idea a good enough one to pass along to you tile layers, be you professional, or amateur do-it- yOurSelfers.

The only gift" said Ralph Waldo Emerson, lis a portion of myself" By Emerson's yardstick, two of history's truly fabulous Christmas gifts are the gift of a song by composer Richard Wag- ner and the gift of manuscript by author Lewis Carroll.
 Wagner surprised his wife by having aostring quartet play hss rev composition as she awakened on the holiday morning. Carroll gave 12year-oid Alice Liddell a handwritten manuscript.
 Both were given almost a cen rury ago, an6 today we know they were fabulous. Wagner's compost ton was the famed Siegfried's Idyll. The manuscript was that of Alice in Wonderland.
 But one wonders how the recipi- ents really felt about the gifts at the time. Mrs. Wagner was accus- toned to hearing music around the house and perhaps had been hoping for the price of some new portieres for the living room.
 To little Alice, the story in the manuscript was twice-told tale: Carroll originally had told her Eae story. Maybe she would

 There was time when house wife in Vermont amused -- and probably disappointed IT. friends and family with her little gift paintings at the holiday exchange. Today most. of them and their descendants wish they could put their hands On these little remem- brances of Grandma Moses. Ger tainly gift of painting from her would be fabulous--~as indeed, would be gift of an oil from Sunday painter Eisenhower or Sunday painter Churchill.
 So what is 3 wonderful gift? A new sable rcoat with $25,00O price tag might be disappoint- ment to a woman who really yearned for a little Renoir for the living room. So would be new handbag for a woman in more modest circumstances who want. ed and needed new housecoat The most fabulous is your hearts desire from someone who was thoughtful enough to know your hearts desire.

 MAIL YOUR LETTERS
 TO MUSIC
 Speaking of the post office, we are enjoying the Christmas decor ations there and the Christmas music. We understand they got their Christmas music for the tape recording furnished by Clerk Tom Renshaw in unique way. There were no Christmas tapes in Kodiak, and long-distance call to Anchorage could locate none there. So they borrowed an organ tape from the Orpheum theatre that had on it, among other things, My Heart Belongs to Daddy"
 Maybe, the 20. crew thought, someone will take the hint and offer something more Christmasy! It worked. Rev. Wilkinson came in first with the offer of tape of chimes and bells. Rev. Mol leti broughtin two tapes. Ali Mad sen offered to record some espe- cially. pr. Bob Johnson did the same, and Bill Criss supplied a tape.
 Now the sound track offers ev- erything from Liberace to Mario Lanza to Fred Waring and Bing Crosby in real Christmas tunes. A couple more years at that rate and the post office should have quite a repertoire.
 We can't help but add Mirror want ad for same would have saved time and phone calls.
 UNIQUE AID
 This brings to mind an adver- tisement that appeared in the Eng fish language newspaper Mai nichi in Tokyo. It was as follows: Smoking, drinking, carousing Japanese-speaking Caucasian gen. tleman wishes to meet smoking, drinking, carousing, Japanese speaking lady. Object: Smoking, drinking, carousing." Smoking, drinking carousing gentleman picked up five replies.

Sussex Farmers Urged
To Seed Cover Crops
CONTINUED from page one)

saving fertile top soil from being
blown or washed away. And cover
crops tend to hold water SO it soaks
into SOIL When the cover crop is
turned under it decays into humus
that acts like a sponge to hold
water.
Cover crops also keep soil in
good condition by supplying or
ganic matter that keeps soil granu-
lar and easy to work, the agent
says. In addition, cover crops fer
tilize the soil. A legume cover crop
allowed to reach height of eight
to 10 inches in spring before plow-
ing under will add about 80 pounds
of nitrogen per acre. This will
mean fertilizer saving of about
$12 an acre, two to three times the
usual cost of cover crop seed.
Cover crops save leftover fer
tilizer that would on bare ground
be washed away in drainage water
after a rain A cover crop will use
this leftover fertilizer and make
the fertilizer available for the next
spring planting.
Anything that will grow and
make a green cover on the soil
over winter is good cover crop,
Henderson suggests. Crimson Clo-
yer is good and should be seeded
at 20 to 25 pounds per acre. When
used with ryegrass the rate per
acre should be IL to Is pounds of
Crimson Glover and 10 to Is
pounds of fyegrass. Used alone,
ryegrass should be seeded at Is to
20 pounds per acre. Vetch is good
legume cover crop and is usually
seeded in combination with rye.
The rate per acre is about Is
pounds of vetch and five pecks of
rye.
Wheat, barley and winter oats
are good cover crops and are often
used when the farmer has his own
seed, Henderson says. Seeding
should be one and one-half to two
times that generally used for grain
seedlings. One advantage of grains
as cover crops is that they may
also be used for late fall and early
spring pasture.
The agent recommends seeding
cover crops right after truck and
canning crops have been harvested.
One of the most popular seeding
devices today is the tractor-mount-
ed rotary seeder.
Farmers planning to seed cover
crops this fall may receive cost
sharing assistance through the Ag-
ricultural Sterilization and Conser-
walton program by applying to the
County A.S.C. Office, Georgetown,
before they plant the crop.
