Light Controls Mites Ham mites can be controlled eas ily with ordinary electric light or daylight, according to results of tests at the North Carolina Exper- 1 iment Station. , That's good news to farmers, | locker plant operators and meat packers, because mites will de stroy all the lean meat in a ham in | an estimated four to six months under ideal conditions. They al ways work in the dark. To kill mites, light must shine directly on the hams. Yet they should be covered by a paper or j cloth or both to protect them from skippers. When exposed to light, the ham is left open to skipper damage. The simplest way around this j problem is to put the hams inside a recommended cover immediately after curing to protect them from | skippers. They should have no 1 mites then because the curing salt j keeps them from getting into the j meat. Then put a strong electric j light in the ham storeroom for 24 j hours, once every two weeks, to i kill any mites that get in there. Another way to keep mites away is to build a wooden frame for a cage and cover it with 30-mesh screen (much finer than ordinary i window screen) and store the ham inside. Hardware dealers can or- : der the screen .The ham should be ! hung some place where light can How To Hold FALSE TEETH More Firmly in Place Do your false teeth annoy and em barrass by slipping, dropping or wob bling when you eat, laugh or talk?
