If there is any choice of shelter to enter, choose shelter in the following order: (1) large metal frame building; (2) dwell ing or. other building which is protected against lightning; X3) large unprotected building; (4) small unprotected building. If you must go or stay out of doors, keep away from isolated trees, wire fences, hilltops and wide open spaces, and small sheds and shel ters in an exposed position. Try to reach thick timber, a cave, a depression in the ground, a deep valley or canyon, or the vicinity of a steep cliff, if any of these is nearby. ’ QUESTION: Pleasb give sug gestion for proper chimney con- sttuctioD. ' - ANSWER: Walls should Oe ibuiR of hard brick or stone. The thickness should be four tnehes for brick; four inches for reinforced concrete; eight inches for hollow tile; and 12 inhes'for stone. All chimneys except rein forced concrete should be lined with fire clay, not less than three- quarters of an inch thick. Mortar used in setting flue linings and in all masonry above roof should be one part cement and three parts clean sand. Ten per cent hydrated lime can be added to each bag of cement. Chimneys should be built upon a solid con crete or masonry foundation strong enough to carry the weight without cracking; QUESTION: How can I avoid damage to watermelons during harvesting? ANSWER: Harvest only mature melons; do ncft pick green or over ripe ones. Do not press down on top of melons to determine ripe ness, since this practice often re sults in damage caused by bruis ed rind and cracked flesh. Cut melons from the vines, leaving stems as long as possible. Do not stand melons on end, since this bruises them. Keep bottom side of melons down when in the sun, and do not pile melons in the field. Handle them carefully to avoid skin injury. Do not drop or jar them. Carry them to the shade or load as soon as they are picked. Inspect truck or wagon and remove nails or cleats with sharp corners in order to prevent damage. Load melons not over five layers deep in truck or wagon when hauling to railway cars. 0-— The value of lint and cotton seed produced in North Carolina last year was $121,023,000 accord ing to the final estimate released by the Federal-State Crop Report ing Service..
