SAFETY HINTS Boating and Canoeing: Step in to the midddle of a boat, find a seat and keep it! If you can't swim, wear a life-preserver or stay ashore. ' Get your Suntan Gradually: Five to fifteen minutes on the first day is long enough. A pro tective ointment helps prevent burn. Wear a hat if you're in the sun for. a long period. Recom mended for summer sun tan: Make your own remedy for an even tan ? % cup olive oil, Va. cup vinegar. Stir in one tablespoon io dine. Blend into your skin evenly before exposing yourself to the sun. Poisonous Plants and Insects: Learn to recognize poison' ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. The leaves are oval-shaped and grow in groups of three. Mature plants havo white, waxy berries. If you run into these plants wash with strong soapy and hot water as soon as possible. Relieve insect stings with a baking soda paste or calamine lotion. A drop of turpentine, ker osene or gasoline usually kills wood tick. If bites are severe, consult a doctor. TRAVEL TIPS Don't forget your First A<d Kit when you go traveling. Buy your luggage wisely. If you are buying luggage look a head ? there's no need to buy everything at once ? luggage comes in "open stock" too. Buy with the idea of matching or coordinating your pieces. Look on the outside of luggage for good workmanship. The cov ering material should be sturdy over a substantial frame. The stitching should be firm, double stitching is best. The hardware should be well-shaped and easy [to open and close. Look for metal stubs to protect the bottom of the case. Bumper edges are good pro tection too and are found on many lines of luggage. Look inside the luggage. The lining should be well sewed, well fastened. If there are hangers, they should come in and out easily and fasten securely. aldrin Wfe... And that's a fact! When weevils eat, tofcch, or breathe aldrin, they die a fast death. Just a few ounces of aldrin, in a dust or spray mixture, contvpls an acre of weevils. What's more, aldrin can be easily applied in any standard equipment, HOW TO KILL BOLLWORMS An excellent control of bollworm is a ready-mixed formulation of aldrin -DDT or dieldrin-DDT. Both mixtures not only kill bollworm, but also boll weevils, flea-hoppers, tarnished and rapid plant bugs, and grasshoppers. When low cost is a primary consider ation, use aldrin-DDT mixtures. Your insecticide dealer has Uieldrin-DDT or aldrin I DDT formulations. Order from him today.

This is a good point to keep in mind, particularly since Nation al Farm Safety Week comes up July 20-26, pointed out special ists of the State College Exten sion Service. Take washing your clothes, for example. You don't ordinarily associate tragedy with this very common practice. Or course, if you work with the older wri-ger type machine, there's always the danger of catching your cloth ing, your hair, or little Johnny's fingers. But there is another ha zard associated with washing clothes that strikes with more tragic results. According to U. S. Department of Agriculture specialists, there is the possibility of being shock ed if your electric appliances used with water or in damp places aren't properly grounded. Without this very necessary pro tection, a stray current, seeking the easiest way to the ground, may run through your body. Some manufacturers equip their machines with a cord that grounds the machine where ever it is plugged in. These special cords have a three-pronged plug that requires a three-hole out let to fit it. Some other washers have a three-wire chord and a two-prong plug that fits into the conventional socket. The third wire in this cord is used for grounding purposes. It branches off the cord near the plug and ?goes into a tiny socket that re places one of the screws holding the cover plate in place. This method is very effective if the home is wired with metallic ca ble. If not, the current will be grounded provided !he wiring in the home is well grounded. [Grassland Toui ToVisitState Delegates to the Sixth Interna tional Grassland Congress at Pennsylvania State College will have an opportunity to visit* North Carolina and five other Southern states on one of four organized group tours. According to S. H. Dobson, pas ture specialist for the State Col lege Extension Service, the tours, will be held In four different areas to demonstrate accomplish ments in grass farming of the United States and Canada, both on actual farms and in research and educational institutions. The tours are mainly for the benefit of foreign participants in the Congress. The Southern tour will visit Virginia, Tennessee,. Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. After, leaving Clemson College, the group will visit the Biltmore farms at Ashe villp on September 3, to observe grazing, hay and silage produc tion programs. The tour will also include a stop at the Southeastern Artificial Breeding Stud. En route to Statesvllle on Sep tember 4, the tour will stop at a milk plant, an alfalfa dehydra tion plant, a feed mill, a seed pro cessing plant and a fertilizer mix ing plant. On September 5 the group will stop at North Carolina State Col lege, Raleigh, to visit beef cattle grazing experiments. Small plot experiments at State College, in eluding fertility, adaptation and management studies on forage species, and breeding work on alfalfa, lespedeza and trefoil, will be viewed. The toyr will end at noon September 6 at Raleigh. Creep Feed Calves Farmers Are Urged With pastures short throughout North Carolina as a result of the recent drought, it's going to pay farmers to creep feed beef calves. State College Livestock Special ist A. V. A ller. and Sam Buchanan say the pasture shortage has pre vented cows from producing their normal supply of milk. Creep feeding, they assert, will add 50 to 100 pounds, and calves will grade higher when they're sold. You won't need an elaborate creep ? just a makeshift arrange ment that will. allow the calves to get all the grain they want. The ideal place for putting the creep is in the shade near the watering trough and salt shed. You can huild it with either lumber, poles or wire, ' and it's best to keep the openings 16 to 20 inche3 wide, and three feet high. A regular feed trough with a roof overhead or a self-feeder will do the jcb. ' The recommended grain ration for calves twojto five months old is equal parts of cracked corn and whol? oats. For calves five to 10 months old, add one part of pro tein to eight parts of the cracked corn and whole oats mixture. For complete details, ask your county agent for a copy of Ex tension Circular No. 268, "Raising Beef Cattle." An average loan rate of 50.6 cents .per pound for 1952-crop flue-cured tobacco and a sched ule of rates by grades have been announced by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Net income of farm operators In 1951 was about two 'billion dollars less than in 1947. How ever, the total was still nine times as much ar the dollar in come of farm operators in 1932.
