QUESTION?How can I control
weevil infestation in stored grain?
ANSWER ? E. R. Collins, in
charge of Agronomy Extension at
State College says the grain should
should be placed in a fairly air
tight bin for fumigation.. For best
results the grain should be con
fined to a small space and piled
from 4 to 6 feet deep. Apply car
bon bisulphide directly to the top
surface of the grain, using 3 gal
lons per 1000 bushels of grain
when the temperature of the grain
is 60 degrees F. or above. Close
the storage space immediately after
applying the fumigant and leave
closed for 24 to 48 hours. After
this period of time the storage
space can be opened for airing.
CAUTION: Carbon bisulphide
is explosive and inflammable. Keep
matches and fire aw^y from these
fumes during the fumigation pro
cess.
QUESTION?At what age should
heifers be bred?
ANSWER?According to J. A.
Arey, Extension Dairy specialist
4HUt State College, no arbitrary age
can be set for breeding heifers.
This should be determined by the |
maturity of each animal. Jersey
and Guernsey heifers, if properly
grown out, should be bred to fresh
en gt^rom 24 to 30 months of age.

QUESTION?How can I prevent

that get broken easily usually
start an outbreak of egg eating in
a flock, according to C. J. Maupin,

What to Do About It
There is one way, and only one
way, to avoid a serious depression,
and that way is open to the Ameri
can people. Responsibility rests
firmly upon e:uh of us, no matter
what may be our economic status
or individual social background, to
choose out this proper course. There
is no way to go. if we should face
into a depression, except toward
hard wprk and the high productiv
ity of industrial peace.
That's the formula that will en
able us to weather a business reces
sion, provided we begin to use. it
now. We must all tighten our belts,
get our feet on the ground, and go
to work just as hard as we can
work. A greatly increased measure
of productivity per man-hour is tht
best answer to the present situation
that can be thought up.
Down With Prices
With increased productivity, with
an honest hour's labor given for
every hour's pay* we could see a
considerable lowering of prices. In
deed, with genuine whole-hearted
cooperation from labor and indus
try, it would be quite possible to
increase output as much as 40%
generally. This should be enough to
bring about a general 25% reduction
in prices. This could be done with
our present labor force and without
increased working hours.
This would in fact bring prices
down until it would be equivalent to
an increase in wages. This is the
one sound answer to the present
threat of a depression. Such answer
would also give us hope of regaining
our foreign markets, which have
had little attention paid to them
since the war.
The importance of this thing
prompted Bernard M. Baruch to
state recently that the whole post
war world would "get going only if
men work" and to come out for a 5^
day, 44 hour week. The seriousness
of the problem we face is such that
we may be able to save civilization
if we accept the challenge, Mr.
Baruch said, adding that this would
meTn gronr~eITorf than that ex
erted during the war.
In proposing n 44 hour work week,
"with no strikes or layolTs to Jan
uary 1, lL'D," as a means of in
creases production, Mr. Baruch
recog:^i7od (Air present tendencies
to put limitations on our work. He
emphasized that a way must be
found for production to flow smooth-J
ly. Tliis achieved, then a "sense of
security would return to worker and
employer, and the reaction upon the
economy of the world would be deep
and lasting."
The sage Mr. Baruch has more.
"Until we have unity, until we
straighten out and solve our prob
lems of production, and have inter
nal stability, there is no basis on
which the world can renew itself
physically or spiritually," he con
tinued. If labor and industry would
put their heads together, come to a
realistic solution of their problems,
shake hands across the table and go
to work in earnest to whip this
threat of immediate depression
through maximum and whole-heart
ad production, then no one would
have anything to tear.
direct sunshine or an adequate
supply of cod liver oil or other
source^ of Vitamin D. These help
to make thick, strong shelled eggs.
Other means of preventing egg
eating are to provide at least one
nest for each five birds; darken
the nests; use plenty of clean nest
litter; gather the eggs several times
a day; feed milk in some form, if
available; and prevent the pro
duction of thin shelled eggs in
the summer by keeping the houses
as cool as possible.

seven years of age, who for some
reason, have been unable to finish
the first grade.
Parents of these children must
be willing to participate in this
program. Meetings with- the par
ents will be arranged to suit the
convenience of the parents, as far
as possible.
There will be a fee of $5.00 and
this will cover a light lunch for
the ehildren each morning.
The school will be in session
from 9:30 to 12:30 each day in
cluding Saturday from June 17 to
July 18.
The parents will have to be re
