a nail in one building for three
years causing no harm. But then
It short circuted; and the fire
that it started cost $200,000. '
DRY CLEANING ? If dry
j cleaning must be done at home,
do it out of doors where chances
of dangerous accumulations of
vapor are small. Never use flam
| able liquids such as gasoline, ben
! line, or naphtha. Use specially
j prepared cleaning solutions or
kerosene to clean grease and dirt
j from machine parts and bearings.
Never use gasoline for such pur

You Need A Church
To Be A Christian
Did you ever stop to think that Christianity
is not a "lone wolf" activity?
Too many of us have come to think of our
Christian profession as something having to
do entirely with morals. We very glibly re
cite "The Golden Rule" and seem to believe
that if "we do unto others as we would have
them do unto us," we are being good Chris
tians.
But, being a Christian first involves believ
ing in Christ as our personal Saviour and as
the Saviour of the world. It involves much
more than being a good person.
Christ taught, "Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul
and with all thy mind ..."
This command to love God includes wor
ship, prayer, work for God's Kingdom. As
our Book of Common Prayer puts it, a Chris
tian's duty is "to follow Christ, to worship
God every Sunday in His church, and to work
and pray and give for the spread of His
Kingdom."
In the Episcopal Church we worship God
corporately ? with other people. It means
being a part of "the Body of Christ" ? an
active participant in His church.
Wc invite you to join us in ?ui snipping
God and His Son, Our Lord, in the Episcopal
near you, at your earliest convenience.
Here's good reading. Send for your copy
of the booklet "Why Co to Church?"
You'll find it very much worthwhile.

Garden
Time . . .
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
Insects and plant diseases are
among the biggest problems in
the garden at this time of tho
year. It means constant spraying
with many different chemical ma
terials in order to get successful
control of the various pests. Of
course, there are many combina
tion spray materials on the mar
ket that will control a variety
of pests but these are rather ex
pensive. Still, for small gardens
they can be recommended be
cause it simplifies the problem
of what to use for each individual
pest as it appears.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could
feed some chemical to a plant
which would kill any insect that
fed on that plant? Well, we do
have such materials ? for example :
"Systox" and sodium selenate.
They are called systemic poisions.
These are being successfully used
to some extent on greenhouse and
oufdoor ornamental plants. But,
they must not be used on vege
table plants or on soils in which
vegetables will be grown in the
near future because they are also
very poisonous to human beings
as well as to insects.
In the vegetable garden now
is the time to practice stnitation,
a thorough clean up of all plants
which have matured their crops
and are through for the season ?
for example: beans, melons, cu
cumbers, summer squash, and
others. If these old plants are al
lowed to remain they will carry
over many insect pests and dis
eases into next season. They may
be plowed under or composted
with a little manure and soil. This
will take care of the pests and at
the same time supply much needed
organic matter for the garden.
Just because plants are through
producing for the season it is a
mistake to let them remain to
become a breeding place for in
sects an diseases which will give
you trouble next year.

a ton of feed may oost pig growth

Timely Farm Question!
Q. How many chickens do you
need to provide the minimum re
quirements for an average family?
A. If good stock Is secured and
well cared for, five layers should
provide enough eggs for two per
sons. But remember that layers
started In the sprmg come into
production in the autumn and go
out of production in the spring
of the next year. So start two
thirds of thp pullets In the spring
and one-third in the autumn.
Q. Do woodchucks damage trees?
A. In periods of dry weather
woodchucks often do considerable
damage to tree trunks. Generally

' country, they do far more damage
to vegetables, alfalfa and lespe
deza. They can be readily con
1 trolled by gassing their burrows.
Q. How can yon determine If
a watermelon is ripe?
A. Those with a keen, experi
enced ear can use the "thump
ing test." But an easier way is
to examine the rind where it
touches the ground. The melon
usually is ripe when tlie areas
has turned from white to pale
yellow.
