STATE COLLEGE I
ANSWERS TIMELY I
FARM QUESTIONS *j
QUESTION?What can I do to'
prevent oil that is- accidentally
spill d into a well?
ANSWER?David S. Weaver,
head of the Agricultural Engineer
ing Department at State College,'
says so far as he knows, there is;
no chemical available on the
market that would remove the
oil. However, where there is only
a small amount of o:l in the water,
continued pumping will probably
remove it.
. There will be no serious damage
done by the oil until it is removed,
he says, other than altering the
taste and staining of white clothes
that are washed with the water
from the well.
QUESTION?How can I control
domestic mosquitoes?
ANSWER?Since domestic mos
quitoes breed in so many places,
it is important to make frequent
inspections of the premises and
eliminate, as far as possible, all
temporary water containers. Tin
cans, bottles, jars, old tires, and
the like should be promptly dis
posed of. A good practice for every
housewife to follow is to see that
every tin can has holes punched in
the bottom or has both ends re
moved and the can flattened. Eaves
troughs should be examined oc
casionally to see that they are not
stopped up or sagged so that they
will hold water. Likewise flat
roofs should be examined after
rains to see that water is not held
on them. Cesspools and septic
tanks must be tightly covered, that
is, so as to exclude all mosquitoes.
Rain barrels or tubs in which
water "is stored are often the
source of hordes of mosquitoes.
Cisterns, whether above or below
ground often breed many of these
pests. Open cisterns breed mos
quitoes in profusion. These should
be tightly covered or screened, and
the spouts must be screened also.
Water pans and troughs used for
chicken water should be emptied
ronce a week and thoroughly wash
ed.
Mosquitoes often breed in pud
dles of water allowed to drain un
der the hou>e from refrigerators.
Rain water, and water allowed to
leak from hydrants and to form
pools in the yard are sources also.
These pools can usually be elimi
nated by improved drainage.

Were You Born In August?
Your horoscope says you are
restless and energetic; you also
tend to follow the line of least
resistance and make hasty de
cisions you later regret!
It doesnt take a horoscope to '
tell us that lots of people are
like that?and not all of them
?born in August, either. Last
year at least 8,000 pedestrians
?two out of every three killed !
?made hasty decisions to fol
low the line of least resistance j
?which they didn't even live to
regret.
Pedestrians who walk to the
right Instead of the left on high
ways, dart out from behind
parked cars, cross In midblock,
disregard traffic lights?are not
only making .hasty aticT TooTlsh '
decisions, they are shirking their j
important share of responsibility
for safety.
The watchword for pedestrians
at all times is?be watchful.
Whether or not you were born
in August, watch out that you
don't die in August.
