Water Mark Damage ? Marks
or rings from wet glasses. '
vases or plants are common on |
tables, especially if these sur
faces have not been waxed.
Wax cannot prevent damage 1
caused by allowing liquids to 1
stand on the finish indefinitely.
However, it will keep them from
being absorbed immediately,
thus giving you time to wipe
up the liquid before it can dam
age the finish. If water marks
appear, here are some sugges
tions you might try.
Place a clean, thick blotter
over the ring and press with a
warm (not hoti iron. Repeat'
until rings disappear.
Apply liquid wax with 4/0 !
steel wool.
Or rub marks with rotten
stone and oil, or try camphor
ated oil.
Keep Alert ? Do you want to
keep yourself mentally and
physically alert and not get
that "let down'' feeling while
there is still work to be done?
The foods you eat may decide
for which it will be.
Meals are usually built around
a main dish. One that satisfies
will be appetizing and "stay
by" you for a long period of
time. Meals that contain some
animal protein as milk, cheese,
eggs, poultry, meat or fish will
be appetizing and "stay by" too.
These are protein foods of the
highest quality. Growing chil
dren need them for building
strong bodies. Grown-ups need
them to repair worn out mus
cles and to keep the body fit.
? State College Answer*
Timely Farm Question?
Q. What can I do to keep
mites out of my hams?
A. John A. Christian, Exten
sion meats specialist, advises
exposing the ham to light for
three to four days. Use 100
watt light bulbs two feet from
meat; always protect the meat
from skipper flies. Christian
says you should check cured
meats that are wrapped at
storage. The mites are active in
the summer; they are small
and white and generally are
found on lean portions of meat.
Q. How valuable is a winter
cover crop?
A. The ASC says that a good
legume cover crop turned under
iji the spring will yield an
equivalent of 300 to 400 pounds
of nitrogen fertilizer to the
acre. The cover, when turned
under, also provides a way to
keep up the organic matter in
the'soll, Increase the ability of
the soil to soak up and hold
moisture, and improve soil
structure. .
~ Q. How long should I keep
hens?
A. Not beyond the first year
of lay, unless the hen is a
proven breeder, an exceptional
ly high producer, or both.
Q. What precautions should I
take when friends want to visit
my chicken houses?
A. If visitors must come in,
be sure they wear rubber foot
wear and wash them clean of
yard dirt before leaving. How
ever, take as few people as pos
sible into your poultry house.
Q. What is the best way to
keep land from eroding?
A. When it comes to holding
the soil, controlling erosion
and checking run-off, a good
sod is hard to beat. Consider
this when planning conserva
tion practices to be carried out
this fall.
Q. What does it cost to keep
a "cull" chicken?
A. R. S. Dearstyne of the
State College poultry science
department says that wher
birds reach sexual maturity
the poultryman has about $1.7:
in each bird. Since it's doubtfu
that he can net over $1.00 eacl
for his culls, he loses 75 cent;
on each cull he raises.

Productivity
Of Cattle Up
38 Per Cent
Cattle productivity in the
United States has increased 38
per cent during the 30 years
| from 1924 to 1954, according to
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture.
A study made by USDA's Ag
ricultural .Marketing Service re
vealed the national increase.
The study showed that to
! day's cattle are over a third
I more productive than their an
! cestors of 30 years ago.
In 1954 , 539 pounds live
weight of cattle and calves
were produced far each cow
on farms at the beginning of
the year. This was 148 pounds
more than in 1924. Better ani- '
mals, better care, more feeding, ]
and a swing to beef types ac- 1
count for this increase.
More cattle are now finish- ,
ed on grain feed, and the aver- ;
age carcass weight at slaughter
has .risen from 474 pounds in
1920-24 to 511 pounds in 1950
54. Also adding to output rates
is a higher proportion of cat
tle and fewer calves in total
slaughter.
Part of the gain in produc- ;
tivity is accounted for by the
larger number of beef cattle ?
now in the cattle herd. In 1924 |
only 35 per cent of all cows
were beef cows; milk cows out- j
numbered beef cows about two i
to one. Now, 50 per cent of all '
cows are beef animals. Beef
cattle put on gain faster and
more efficiently than dairy cat
' tie.

service.
It was decided to make the
, picnic an annual occasion, to

I
. . . so they're off to college again!
September's college-opening time, and a lot of Macon
County boys and girls are leaving for school.
They'll look forward to your letters . . . especially
when they first get there. There's nothing, when you're
away from home, like a letter from home.
And the next best thing to a Letter from Home is the
Paper from Home.
The Franklin Press
/
It has one advantage, in fact, over letters, even . . .
for it carries, each week, much more Macon County news
than any one letter possibly could.
Ask 'em, those boys and girls who are leaving for col
lege, if they'd like a subscription to The Press as a go
ing-away gift. Ask 'em ? and see how quickly they say
"you bet!"
