Old Farmer’s Riddle; What friends should you have around when you feel tired? (An swer below.) Ask the Old Farmer: Recently I heard the old expression “Hay foot, straw foot.” I was told it originated during World War I, but I’m sure it was used before then. What do you say? E.D., Dallas. You are right. The “hay-foot, straw-foot” story goes back to the Civil War and perhaps even to the Revolution. Green recruits often did not know their left from right feet and the instructor attached hay to one and straw to the other, calling attention to the stuff instead of saying “left and right.” Personally we doubt if there is any foundation of fact behind it Home Hints To remove rust from a wood stove, sandpaper it and then rub with oil ' Give a dog a pillow of camomile flowers to keep fleas away . .

WEED KILLERS Ph. 397-3539 Seed Testing Rules Altered The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has an nounced changes in the rules for testing seed under the Federal Seed Act. They become effective June 14, say officials of USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service. The rules for testing contribute to uniform testing and truthful labeling of seed under state and federal seed laws. The new amendments, which adopt currently approved testing methods and procedures, com bine former testing rules under the Federal Seed Act with changes made in October 1970 by the Association of Official Seed Analysts in its Rules for Seed Testing. The amendments deal primarily with (1) sizes of samples to be tested based on updated information regarding the number of seed per gram and (2) temperatures for germination testing based on experimental evidence. Other changes affect interpretations in (1) distinguishing weed seed and inert matter in certain varieties of seed and (2) distinguishing normal and abnormal seedlings in lettuce seed. When proposed, the amend ments were published in the June 12, 1971, Federal Register and were considered in a public hearing July 12, 1971, in Washington, D.C. Interested persons were also invited to mail comments on the proposal. Adopted substantially as proposed, the amendments were scheduled to appear in the Federal Register May 15. Copies may be obtained from the Director, Grain Division, AMS, U S. Department of Agriculture, 6525 Belcrest Road, Hyattsville, Md. 20782.
