When he wakes up no murmur is heard He springs oUt-,of bed like a bright little bird, He washes his face and brushes his hair Nor to anyone gives he no trouble or care And when he is dressed he kneels down to pray And asks God to bless him and keep him all da} How bright, how cheerful, how happy he looks - When after his breakfast he takes up his books. When schooltime is over he goes out to play At hoop or at ball in the bright sunny day.

ST-6-3230 War on Bugs Lawn Pest Control Help Bulletin Topic Help foi homeowners in com bating lawn pests is available in a U. S. Department of Agricul ture bulletin, “Lawn Insects and How to Control Them.” Some lawn insects live in the soil and attack plant roots, some feed on plant leaves and stems, and other suck plant juices,. Pests such as chiggers, ticks and fleas (may inhabit lawns. They do not damage the grass, but their bites are painful and annoy ing to people. Also, certain ticks may transmit diseases, including tick fever and tularemia. Treatments to control all these insects are relatively inexpensive. A single insecticide application iwhliui underground pests for several years. Grass treated for chiggers, ticks, and fleas will usually remain free of these pests for several weeks. Considering the extensive dam age some lawn insects cause, use of an insecticide is cheaper in the long run than reseeding. One mole cricket, for example, can destroy several square yards of a newly seeded lawn in a single night.'" Lawn insects often go undetect ed because the damage they cause is frequently mistaken for dam age due to dry weather or disease. For instance, whitened patches in the grass, caused by leafhoppers sucking the sap from the leaves and stems, are often attiibuted to drought or plant disease. USDA’s bulletin describes 33 lawn insects, tells how to locate them, lists effective insecticides, nnd gives directions on how and when to use them. 2 Per Cant Drop In Farm Employees During the week of Jan. 20-26, the number of persons working on farms was 138,000 less than for the comparable week of 1956, a drop of two per cent, according to latest Crop Reporting Board figures.

To keep uncooked meat and poultry m good condition, loosen the tight wrapping before putting the food in the refrigerator. Of ten it’s better to remove both the transparent wrapping and the paperboard tray. Place the meat on a plate, cover loosely with wax ed paper or foil, and put in the lefrigerator. Chicken giblets are often packaged in a separate bag. Take them out of the bag, cover loosely, and keep apart from the rest of the chicken in the refrig erator. Keep meat in the coldest part of the refrigerator with tempera tures between 38 and 40 degrees. At this temperature, loosely wrapped meats keep as follows, pork, 3 days; other meat, 4-6 days; poultry (whole), 2-3 days; cut up poultry, 2 days, liver and other organ meats, 2 days; and chopped meat, 1 day.
