Snap beans, lima beans, cucum bers, squash, okra, and other seed of Refrigerator Door Opened and dosed Most Often in Home G-E Test Models Are Given Equivalent of 30 years’ Use -$ The door of the houshold refrige rator is opened and closed more than any other door of the house, accord ing to James W. Norman, local Gen eral Electric Dealer. "A door-slamming machine slams the door of each test model 500.000 times the equilivant of 30 years' use, befor the cabinet design is accepted by General Electric for production." he said. Other interesting refrigerator facts revealed by Mr. Norman are as fol lows: A jiggling machine shakes and jostles the test cabinet day in and day out to prove it sturdy. It takes 24 hours to manufacture a G-E refrigerator, and three-fourths of this time, too is spent in inspection and testing. Parts are fitted to the accuracy of three ten-thousands of and inch, or one-seventh the thick ness of a human hair. The unit is operated under water. Women, as well as men, inspect each cabinet on the assembly line. Years of research and experiment are'required to perfect each improve ment before it is incorporated in a new model. General Electric started experimenting in 1912 with various types of refrigeration units, but it was not until 1927 that this company introduced the first completely seal ed refrigerating unit. Thousands of 1927 model Monitor Top refrigerators are still giving sa tisfactory service, but today a house wife can buy a much improved ver sion of the General Electric sealed unit refrigerator at half the cost; one that will operate on less than half the current used by its 1927 prede cessor. ty Jean Bateman, Mildred Ruth Am brose, Chisteen Ambrose.

Pepper, tomato, and eggplant can be set in the field. These plants should be hardened off for a few days before transplanting if they have been grown in the hotbed. This can be done by gradually exposing them to the outside weather conditions and hold up on the watering. They should be watered liberally, though, when set in the open. The crops which are now growing can be rushed along by a light side dressing of nitrate of soda. This ap plies particularly to the leafy vege tables. To be tender and succulent, leafy vegetables have to be grown rapidly. If you were lucky enough to have beans survive the recent frosts, watch closely for the first appearance of the bean beetle. These can be controlled with regular and thorough applica tions of 75 per cent rotenone dust. In addition to the regular roasting ear corn, let's try some real sweet corn. Spancross, Golden Cross Ban tam, Howling Mob, and Stowell's Evergreen, all are good. A few cantaloupes will come in fine. Try Honey Rock, Hales Best No. 936. Osage Orange or Hearts of Gold. Don't forget to spray the home orchard regularly. One or two sprays will not save your fruit. This must be done regularly if you expect to have good clean fruit. If you do not have a spray calendar write for Ex tension Circular 210. which gives a spray schedule for all the home Iruits. We have mentioned the bean beetle, but there are other insects and diseases we must guard against. Farmers' Bulletin No. 1371 gives full particulars in regard to all common insects and diseases. This is avail able only from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington. D. C., Division of Publications. Earlv Grazing Is Bad for Pastures State Expert Says —®— First Growth Contains Very Small Percentage of Nutrients -® Tender young grass growing in per manent pastures early in the spring looks mighty good, but it’s not quite good enough to eat.

Has High Quality and Lou Prices cattle cannot eat enough to maintain their body weight and keep up a heavy milk flow, said John A Arey, of State College. In her attempt to satisfy her hun ger, a cow often eats weeds and buds in sufficient quantities to give her milk an unpalatable flavor. Such milk is not marketable. Early grazing is bad for the pas ture, too, Arey went on. When the first growth is grazed, the grass is damaged in two ways. The grass needs the early leaves to manufacture plant food.make a vigorous growth, and develop good root systems. If the first growth is grazed off. the pasture will fail to produce good grazing through the summer. Usually the soil is soft and damp in the early spring. When cattle trample over a soft, moisty clay soil they cut it up into clods that will dry out hard, and at the same time they damage the grass roots with their hooves. If possible, cattle should be graz ed on a temporary pasture until the permanent pasture grasses have be come well established in a firm soil. Rye and crimson clover, or wheat, barley, and crimson clover make good temporary pastures. Where no temporary pasture is available, hay and silage should be fed until the permanent pastures are ready for grazing. i Come To Our Store BEFORE RIVING Screen Doors, Window Screens and Screen Wire ■Special discount on quantity buy ing for porch screening.
