surface dally In summer. Avoid
the feeding of frozen silage
when possible by keeping the*
silage next to the wall at a
level lower than the center. If
the silage freezes, remove from
the wall with a wood spud or
fork before feeding. When first
putting animals, on grass silase, 1
adjust them to It slowly, making
up the difference In dry ray. As
they become adjusted, gradually
Increase the silage and reduce
the hay. Legume silage Is laxa- I

adjust your animals to pasture.
Do the same with legume silage, j
Q: How about barnyard ma
nure as a top dressing?
A: It is fine if there is enough
of it Is used. If manure is u eu
is should be spread evenly, and
should be free of weed seed.
Most farmers keep manure
spread as It accumulats, how
ever, in order not to lose part

Seen used, It is possible tba'<
no other top dressing is neces
sary cxcept lime.
Check-Up On Heating
Equipment Is Urged
"With cold weather approach
ing, heating equipment shou;d
be checked andt conditioned for
safe winter service," S. W. Men
denhall, county agent for the
btave C 11. ge Extension Service,
warned today. Fire strikes with
out warning and it is not par
ticular whose property it des
troys, he said.
Farmers, especially, cannot af
ford to give lire a chance, the
county agent asserted, adding
that 90 per cent of the annual
farm lire loss of 100 a.illicn
dollars could be prevented.
The National Safety Council
points out that defective chim
neys rank high as a cause of
farm fires during the heating
season. For safety, repair cracks
or other delects and replace
rusted or burned out stove piies.
See that combustible materials
are protected gr kept a safe
distance from hot surfaces. Use
a metal or asbestos floor under
v.'ood or coal burning stoves.
Use double metal ventilated
thimbles where stovepipes pass
through frame walls or parti
tions.
Another group of farm fires
is started by sparks on roofs.

They're mighty good folks to have around . . .
These four good people have worked for
this company a total of 105 years. The aver
age for all 28,000 Esso Standard Oil
workers today is almost 14 years with the
company 1
In a time like this, workers like these are
mighty good ones to have on the job?
good not just for the company, but also
for you.
Their extra measure of skill, experi
ence and job loyalty is setting amazing
records in production to help meet an
all-time record high demand for gaso
line and heating oil and other products.
One reason these extra-good workers
- are here today is simply the extra-good
jobs they have at Esso Standard.
Over 30 years ago, the company set up
an unusual "good jobs policy." It was
based on the belief that better jobs would
mean better workers, and that would
mean a better company.
Since then, with our workers, we have
developed plans which give every Esso
Standard worker such job advantages as
these: uniformly good utage scales ...
vacations with pay. ..special benefits in
case of sickness or accidents ... chance
to advance in the company... cash sav
ings in a Thrift Plan... fair treatment
at all job levels... and planned retire
ment with steady income assured forlife.
All this was done as a matter of good
business. It has given good business re
sults. Not a strike or major work disturb
ance in over 30 years. Steady, skillful
workers on the job. Records in production
when the country needs record supply of
product. Yes...they're mighty good folks
to have aro.und, from your point of view
and from oursl
