proving his pasture. Mr. and Mrs*
St. wart also carry on a good live

At. Snevd and his family should

Lyda Moqes of the Glenville

crops. This takes some of the rLsk

FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION ? Wh;.t are the
.symptoms ol' X-d.sease in cat
tle?
ANSWER ? Early symptoms
include a watery discharge from
the eyes and nose. As the disease
developes, the animal's appetite
fails, it loses condition, and be
comes depressed. The skin gets
thick, wrinkled, hard, arid leath
ery. Li;rge wart-like projections
often dccur on the tongue, cheeks,
and palate. Stockmen sometimes
confus. it with such things as pink
eye, cobalt deficienty, Dallis grass
poisoning, and scabies. However,
correct diagnosis is not difficult
for a veterinarian who knows the
disease.
QUESTION ? How can I be
sure of having a supply of fresh
garden greens in the spring?
ANSWER ? By keeping greens
alive over the winter months, says
Miss Ruth Current, State home
demonstration agent. She adds
that M.ssissippi Experiment Sta
tion workers have demonstrated
that plants kept alive over the cold
verthcr will muke a second growth
of leaves in the very early spigng,
b fore other garden vegetables are
ready. These greens can furnish

Home economists say there is an
element of chance in washing ray
on if the label carries no facts a
?out its washabilily, or if the sales
lerk was not too specific in giv
such information. Never let
??our r?.yons become extremely
il. d and never s>ak or boil them.

QUESTION ?' Should hous.
Arives continue their fat salvage
ampaign?
y ANSWER ? The answer is yes.
i The fat salvage program, in effect
-ince 1C44, has been remarkably
successful and has resulted in the
saving of millions of pounds of
critically short fats and oils. The
general supply situation has im
proved in recent months. However,
it is cxpectcd that millions of
housewives, who have found the
salvage program a convenient and
profitable way to dispose of waste
rats, will continue to save this ma
terial. The program is basically
one of conservation. The fat sal
vage habit ;s a thri.t habit which
orings financial return to the
ousewife and prevents wastes
wrinkles. Never wring by hands or
tw st. If washing by hand, press
water out between a *owel.
Unlike cotton clothes which are
allowed to dry completely and are
then redampened, rayons, parti
cularly dresses and blouses, are
ironed best when they are allowed
to dry only until partially damp for
ironing. Don't make the mist ke of
trying to iron your rayons too
damp. You will waste time and
may stretch or distort the fabric.
l! you want to stretch that food I
dollar, plan carefully the three
mta's a day. Plan at least three
neals at a time and be sure to in
clude all of the things you need
or good nutrition.
Compare your menusf from day
cvi day for variety and balance in
;-ne .Is.
This year's corn crop is estimai ?
ed at nearly 3.6 billion bushels.
Agent Lists Steps
To Stop Barn Fires
A four-point program to save
barns from destruction by fire
during November was suggested
here th!s week- by M .L. Snipes,
cour.ty agent for the State College
Extension Scrvice.
Mr. Snipes said records of the
Fire Protection Institute show that
approximately 1,500 barns in the
United States were either damaged
or destroyed by fire in November,
1947. Losses are unusually heavy
during fall and winter months be
cause so many harvest crops and
so much valuable farm machinery
are stored in barns at that season
of the ye*r.
| "If farmers will take a few sim
Iple. precautions and install ap
proved fire extinguishers, barns
n tais county will be comparative
ly safe lrom fire during the win
t r months," the county agent de
clared.
He said bam losses from fire
can be reduced 80 to 90 per cent
through the following program:
1. Keep barr.s clean. Make sure
rubbish is not allowed to accumu
late in or around buildings. {
2. Check all electrical wiring
See that switches operate properly
and no wiring has b.en stripped of |
its insulation.
3. Have adequate fire protection, i
Most tires start small. If approved
fire extinguishers are handy, fires
can be put out quickly, before they 1
get out of control.
4. Store flammable liquids in j
safe areas. Ma}ce certain that flam-1
mable liquids are placed in seal. d
containers and out of reach of chil
dren and animals.
