Unusual outdoor photography. filmed in the beauties of nature, shows the modern technique of forest conservation. Like other products of the. soil, trees are a crop and must be properly ca; ed for during growth and harvested at maturity. "Selective logging" is our insurance against waste either from indiscriminate cutting or from over-age. Planned forest conserva tion includes constant replacement of the tree crop through careful planting of seedlings.

I Brazilian experts said that the cut and polished stones will aggre gate 97.000 carats, as 28,00u carats will be lost in these operations. At thea-eraEe price of $25 per cut aquamarine, the stone's estimated potential retail value is $2,500,000. The stone was brought to New l oi k ny jose liarbosa Mello, rep resenting one of four Brazilian mining companies that own the aquamarine. It was admitted duty free, because it is uncut, he said.

QUESTION: What is the best grazing crop for hogs? ANSWER: Jack Kelley, Exten sion swine specialist at State Col lege, says that there are a num ber of crops that can be easily grown and that hogs can be kept on grazing crops for practically the entire year. At this pcWod of the year thej should have small grains, or rye grass, or a combina tion of rye grass and crimson clover. In February and March you can seed a mixture of oats, rape and lespedeza, or lespedeza Mone, or rape alone. You could alo have some rape now with an August-September seeding. Along in April and June it's a good time to plant soybeans for hogs. 1 'Hind,,,,: W toha, "l 0-r'?res'i lunai fur.rt . ot from hi Polie-. h,.i... ! made Tlle 1 "kt-sma,, ' me I,,,,,, ,,. ei ,)(Jl (hi,, About 490,000 miles of casing are needed yearly for frankfurters produced in the United States.

ANSWER: Prof. Dearstyne at State College says that the Leg horn should have 3'l' square feet and the other hens 4 square feet. Crowding of chickens depresses them and results in a drop in et;g production. It may start "feather picking" which is difficult to con trol. Also provide 24 feet of hopper space per 100 birds and a 3 to 5 gallon water container. Don't forget proper ventilation. If this is not given attention, the birds will be devitalized and this too will cause a drop in the number of eggs. Let the birds have frch feed every day. We Oil Your D RE III!

Lovely, sweeping lines a gracious addition to any table. Capacity, 8 ounces. $9.00 QUESTION' What is the best spacing in producing high yields of corh? I ANSWER: This will depend on j the fertility of the soil, its moisture I holding capacity, and the amount j of plant food applied. Farmers i who formerly planted corn in 4! to 5 foot rows are making the rows narrower and putting the corn closer in the drill, but at the same time they are increasing the amount of fertilizer applied. On the corn tour last summer one farmer visited was making about 75 to 80 bushels per acre with four-foot rows and the hills about 16 inches apart. "I would have made a lot more corn if my rows had been 3 feet instead of 4," he said. The highest yield in the! state this year was made with four- ! foot rows and the corn 8 inches in the drill. The farmer applied 20 loads of stable manure per acre last winter, a good application of lime, and then used. 1,100 pounds Message to The Thousands of V, Who Have Bought Their Venetian Here To Make Your Christmas Bright :er to Mak rapes jusi come in uiiu uuy your iaonc irom our selections and we will have your dra; made to your measurements WITHi CHARGE.
