Having a Place for Everything
Makes for Safer Home Living
Spring-cleaning time presents
a real opportunity for the rural
homemaker to make her home a
safer, happier place to live. One
way to help obtain this objective
is to endeavor to have a place
for everything.
Spring cleaning, naturally, re
quires routine scrubbing and
cleaning, but a little extra effort
will pay dividends in neatness
and safety.

home’s storage facilities to see
if there is adequate storage and
if the present storage facilities
are being put to the best use.
This is simply a matter of hav
ing a place for everything and of
having everything im its place.
Here are some suggestions for
checking the storage space in
the home A good storage plan
provides space appropriate to
the size of tthe home and the
size of the home and the size of
the family It should be design
ed for convenience and safety.
Check your home. Does it pro
vide space for playthings, tools,
porch furniture, awning, screens,
storm windows, cleaning com
pounds, poisons, card tables,
hobby equipment, brooms, mops,
vacuum cleaners, ladders and
stepstools, china and kitchen
utensils.
How does storage fit into the
safety picture? Falls are the
leading source of injuries. By
putting things away, the home
maker can elimate cluttered
floors and stairways—a major
cause of falls.

Corn Borer Cost
$119.5 million
Last Season
When the nation’s grain corn,
producers picked up the tab for
meals of the European corn borer
last year, they were again remind
ed of the pest’s huge and costly 1
appetite. This - hungry dinner
guest cost them about $119.5 mil
lion based on the loss of al
most 98 million bushels of corn
grown for grain, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture reports.
Losses to the borer in 1956
were high about three per cent
ot the total crop but well under
the 155 million bushels destroyed
by the pest in 1955. Last year’s
losses in bushels were the third
highest since the all-time high of
314 million bushels in 1949.

Automatic Traction Booster turns Big-Capacity Implement weight into
working weight so that the WD-45 has traction equal to a tractor weighing
up to 5,000 lbs. on the drive wheels.
Implement weight becomes a rolling load carried on the tractor rear
wheels for extra traction when needed.
Automatic Traction Booster with Transport Valve is the greatest tractor
engineering advancement since Allis-Chalmers added 25 percent to the
work capacity of farm tractors with air tires. You have to see BIG-CAPAC

tion by the corn borer in 1956.
Loss estimate for Pennsylvania is
$4,663,000.
Federal-State surveys made last
fall point to fewer European corn
borers in U* S. corn fields in 1957
than last year, but still in large
enough'numbers to pose a real
threat, toie North Central States:
showed reduced numbers of this
costly corn insect, while increas
ed numbers showed up in Eastern
States,
It’s hard to calculate what corn
borers cost the nation each year.
They don’t just cut the yield of
crops. They also lower the qual
ity, increase production and har
vesting costs, and require large
I outlays for control materials and
equipment. Untold man-hours are
used to check their ravages.
The European corn borer is an
immigrant insect that has made
its home in the United States for
more han 40 years. It has been
one of the farmers’ worst enemies
since it attacks one of the most
important crops.
