Of a., the major nations in the world. America -- tr.e .m•.• one. this year, where th>. lights on the Christmas tree may burr, throu ghout the night without, violating a law-, military or civic. Blackouts are certain to rule in most countries But in the land where the torch of Liberty has flamed through many period? of darkness, little children can greet again the ever r.ew wonder of the tree that .^anta brought. Because this is the one land where elec tric lights bum on in the windows and on the Christmas trees, let us all unite to make this a light Christmas. Whether it be in the ex pansive front yard of a mansion with trees bedecked by these who have plenty, or the tiny window f a small cottage, snow a light at Christmas time. Holiday lamps of red and greet, strung iike holly wreaths in the win dows of the land •■■•ill spread their holiday n.es-age of greeting ir. honor of Him whose • birthday i- December 25th. Street after “tree*, block after block and mile after mile, let us make this a light Christmas. For this is the year of our Lord 1940 in America, and in America there is Peace. ARMY IS GETTING TOGETHER The draft army is being gradually col lected and many new soldiers are now in training in camps throughout the country. The draft boards are proceeding slowly but i very surely with their work. Perhaps ti e largest average increases are in aviation ser vice. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT GOES TO SEA Down in Washington the population doesn’t make any close distinctions between • inspection trips, and vacations of President Roosevelt. The National Capital thinks e nough of the Chief Executive, personally, to wish him a good time on the war ships in the Caribbean. 1 ARE VOL A FISHERMAN? One of the amazing reports of the week in Washington, comes frc mthe U. S. Depart ment of inter.or snowing now many i.m.r men tnere are -n tr.= Lmte-u states arc in each State. The report shows that 7.s5s,2io riing nocn.ee were *ssuea to men. worn.:.-, and children daring a fiscal year. Michigan issued more than s5S,<XM. ..cen>es. and Min nesota. New York ana Onto issued more that. 5vv‘,WO each. A report from Atlantic City this w«k shows that more than 200 fisherman ... ■ been tnere engaging in sports in which the anglers were winners in the annual fi*hir.g| contest club, and were awarded prizes tend ing *2,000. Hockey games and Atlantic c last squash racquet- championships have beer in prgoress on Haddon Hall court-, where 100 >f the nation's leading women players havt ! beer, competing for championships. Atlanta City is the favorite spot or. the mid-Atlantic • seaboard at this time of the year, ever though : an all year art tr.d resort. INCOME AND SPENDING ir.c way the; s'&tfcsmen xigv.re things *• W ashington tiv- returns from aicome taxe^ and other revenue are expected to total ab- at 7 billion dollars the coming year. Even New Dea.er^ haven t bee^ able to find a way to pa;.' the years expenses, which will run aab t 13 billion dollars. So the wise boys who are at the head of Government affairs are talking about putt ing ail the National Defense items in one book and the non-defense items in another book. Trie big book would be left unbalanced. The little book is the problem. Senator Geor ge suggest:- that the corporation income tax be raised to 35 per cent. The Republicans are getting together on in “economy program" to serve about 2 bil lion dollars during the coming year, and re luce non-military expenses. hop;r.g to balance this latter budget. Of course that leaves the National De fense book entirely without help or even -light “consideration.” All of which means that the national debt limit will be greatly ncreased, taxe.- boosted and public borrowing expanded to the very limit. Finally, Uncle Sam is hopele.-.-dy in the red, even though there is no War of our t>wn. rHE RULES OF BUSINESS The Federal Trade Commission is a very active branch of the Federal Govern ment. It receives complaints and examines irregularities and sifts all troubles to the very bottom. After proper examination the Commission may suggest ways to correct flight irregularities. “Cease and desist” ord ers affect advertising and sales methods. Any business that is properly conducted has very little to fear from the Federal Trade.

STATE COLLEGE ANS. THEY FARM QUES. QUESTION: Is it necessary to ■ fertilize forest tree seedlings when' they are planted ? ANSWER: R. W. Greaber, State College Extension forester, says hat, while fertilizing fo-est trees s not generally practu-ed, he rt ommends that olack walnut and black locust seedlings be fertiliz ed at time of planting. Fertilize each tree with 2 to 4 ounces of superphosphate or a com"':;; fer tilizer. or its equivalent in barn yard manure. The fertilizer should be well mixed into the soil, in a sp»cae of 12 to 18 inches, iefor setting out the trees. QUESTION: What feeding care should be given the heifer one to two years old ANSWERiA one to two year old heifer needs the same '■are and about the same kind of feed given the six to 12 month old heifer. When she is on good pasture no additional feed is needed. H wever. during periods of short grazing, hay or silage should be supplied. During the winter she should la fed all the good legume hay she will eat and 15 to 25 pounds of silage if this is available. No grain will be needed unless the roughage supply s inadequate or the neifer is heavy with calf. In either case, enough gTain should be fed tu keep her in good flesh. She should be gaining in flesh at calving time. QUESTION: How should the small, non-furce draft or deck type incubators be cleaned? ANSWER: In disinfecting the machines, says Roy S. Dear.styne head of the State College Poultry Department, ’’the hatching trays should be removed and the inside of the amchine thoroughly cleaned. The hatching trays should he clean ed carefully with a wire brush, care being taken to remove all partices of shells and other mater ials left by the preceding hatch. The trays arfc usually small en ough to be immersed in a suifablo disinfectant. Then spray or wipe ‘ the inside of the machine with a ! similar disinfectant or the entire machine with a similar disnfectant Then spray or wipe the entire ma chine may be fumigated with a permanganateformalin gas.
