The new machine can treat small grains Tuch more rapidly than the oi barrel-type., commonly used on re farm. "Only 2 1-2 cents per 'bushel for sied treatment may often prevent large losses on grain crops," Garriss says. "From a practical standpoint we cannot afford to plant untreated small grains.'' n To get early poults, Prof. Roy Dearstyne of State College suggests the use of artificial lights in the lay ing house, beginning December 1.

Seed treatment of small giains is very che.ip an-, this practice pays excellent dividends, regardless of whether the grains are grown for seed, hay, grain feed, or for sale to the miller. Howard R. Garris, Extension plant pathologist at State Cojlege, recom mends the use of new improved ceresan at the rate of one-half ounce of the material for each bushel of seed. The chemical controls stinking smut and scab in wheat: loose and covered smut in oats: and covered smut, black loose smut, stripe, and 1 Let's iear your electric bill to pieces Go AHEAD, lady tear your electric bill apart and see what it's all about. This little piece lights all your lamps. This one plays your radios. This cools and keeps your food. This washes your clothes. This takes care of the cooking and ironing and cleaning. And so on. That's a lot of different jobs to be covered by one small bill. And hold on! You've paid for more than just electric ity. About 25c of every dollar you pay for electric fervice goes in turn for taxes which benefit your com munity and help pay for the war. Taxes UP. . . . General cost of living UP . . . You'd think the cost of electric service would be up, too. But it isn't. It has even come down a little since the war began. Actually The average family gets about twice as much elec tricity for its money today as it did fifteen years ago! This welcome fact comes from the careful planning and progressive spirit of America's 6usness-man3ged, self supporting electric companies.
