mum of supervision. Have
him search through a maya
zine or newspaper article,

words he knows. Have him

self, over and over. If the
story is too difficult at the
start, he can watch as you
read it to him, but make
sure he sees each word as 1t
is pronounced.
The next step is for him
to find different difficult
words in the story and pro-
nounce them. 1t will take
patience on your part to
listen as he does this.
His ability to figure out
how words should be pro-
nounced and knowledge Of
the meaning Of the words
are connected with the way
they sound, the way they
look in print. You can help
him toward a successful
school year If you help him
gain this understanding.

FALLOUT SHELTERS
USING SOIL, SANDBAGS

A fallout shelter need not
be fancy to protect you. AL
though a shelter with con-
crete floor, walls and ceiling
is certainly to be desired, 1t
is not required for adequate
protection from radiation.
Soil is one of the shielding
materials that We have. 1t
is also the most inexpen-
sive Three and hail inches
of soil is good for shielding
from the effects of radiation
from fallout as 212 inches OF
concrete.
Two to three feet of soil
on top of the shelter will
provide adequate protection
in most fallout areas. More
soil will increase the protec-
ton.
Many storm cellars can be
changed easily into fallout
shelters. Often they will re-
quire only adding soil to the
roof and changing the en-
trance So rays of radiation
will not have a direct path
into the shelter Since the
rays travel in a straight line,
a turn in the entrance will
cut down the radiation that

tects it from injury, but the
young grasses and weeds,
with no such protection are
killed.
Farmers who plan to use
herbicidal oils should make
the first application as soon
as the first weeds appear in
the drill. 1t is important to
establish 100 per cent control
as soon as possible.
Up to three applications of
herbicidal oils can be made.
But stop applying the oils
when the permanent bark
begins forming on the base
of the cotton stem.
Rate of application is four
to seven gallons to the drill
area per acre on the first
application. Then apply no
more than five gallons to the
acre in the drill on subse-

quent applications.
Some farmers are using
four noZzles per row ana
are treating around five inch
es of the shoulder area with
the extra set of nozzles.
These nozzles should deli
yer one and one-half to two
times as much as the drill
noZzles.
Some precautions for apply
ing herbicidal oils are: Make
application at least five days
apart. Apply only to healthy
cotton Do not apply when
soil is too wet to cultivate,
unless air temperature is be-
low IS degrees. Do not make
applications of herbicidal oils

Another easily built and
inexpensive shelter can be
made by digging trench 81
