Farm Clean-up
Hints Given
By Specialist
The farmer who gives his place
a real spring "cleaning" now will
not only improve the looks of his
farm but will also make it healthi
er and easier to keep "trim" the
rest of the year, says C. B. Ratch
ford, Extension farm management
' specialist at State College.
He offered the following clean
up hints for farm families: Gather
and dispose of all tin cans. Either
bury them or punch holes in them,
to avoid providing breeding places
tor mosquitoes.
Pick up all loose wire. Don't
overlook, the old baling wire which
has accumulated. It is easy to find
now before grass and weeds have
grown Later it will tangle in
machinery, trip persons and ani
mals. and cause a great deal of
other trouble
For lasting beauty use.**
