ed seeding dates would be follow-
ed in giving A CP approvals for
Government cost-sharing on' win
ter cover crops and tfiat all farm
ers within the county who desire
to' secure AGP help with their cov
er crops should plan to seed them

CHECK FLUES
AND CHIMNEYS
BEFORE USING
The .season of v year is here
when, it L;, .necessary to provide
heat in the home. ' Almost every
year we read in the (papers about
a costly fire in some rural com
munity, due to a faulty flue, or
some other cause, which could
have been prevented if proper
precautions," .and ; care, had been
used. Many of our farm homes
have been built many years; some
of the flues and chimneys are m
such a condition that makes them
dangerous to use. A little time
spent -in checking these very im
porta nt parte of the farm home
wall cut. down on disastrous fires
caused by this source. Farm fam
ilies may-be faced with the jab
of putting out a fire,. Very few
of . them ; have done anything in
the way of preparation for ; this
particular- problem. This should
be discussed with the members of
the family and a plan worked out,
before hand, on Just what to do
in case a fire breaks out in ,the
home. - 4 . . ' ,
