LOSES HIS PANTS
Out in the Solomon Islands,
there's a fighting Marine who is
going to get a wrist-watch for
Christmas, to replace the one he |
lost in blasting the Japs. It will
be the gift of Miss Benny Ack-
man, of Passale, N. J, to her
fiance Capt. Harry L. Torgerson,
six feet of bone and muscle and
courage, used 20 cases of TNT to
dynamite 50 Japanese dugouts—
but in doing so he lost the seat
of his pants and his wristwatch,
“Sure,” sald = Miss Ackman,
“that’s what I'm going to give
him for Christmas—a new watch.
I guess I'll have to leave it to
the Marine Corps to take care of
the pants.”
CHURCH-GOING DOG
Blackie, a greyhound, became
a church-goer when he attended
Vacation Bible school for two
successive weeks at Emporia, Va.
However, when she began going
to church services and taking
his seat in the pulpit beside the
pastor, refusing to move, it be-
came necessary to discourage
his church-going fervor. His
master, who lived across the
street from the church, tied the
dog up, but his vociferous howls
at such treatment disturbed the
services. Now he's being adver-
tised for sale.
PUSSY A SPARKPLUG
Placing an open can of ben-
zene on a bathroom shelf, Mar-
jorie Abel, 10, of Almeda, Cal,
was surprised when her cat,
jumping to the shelf, overturn-
ed the can which fell to the
fioor. There was a loud report
and the benzene burst in flames.
It is thought that the electricity
in the cat's tail probably ignited
the fluid. The child was un-
harmed,
TOOTH TO FINGER
Feeling pain in one of her
fingers, Mrs. John D. McWill-
lams of Norwich, Conn., went
to a doctor who found a small
metal object imbedded in the
flesh. The object, Mrs. McWil-
Hams declared, was part of a
dentist's drill which broke as
she was having a tooth filled
twenty-seven years ago.
BAREFOOT SOLDIER
When Hugh V. Dixson, 24-year
pid farmer of Oklahoma City,
appeared for induction into the
Army, he carried a pair of shoes
over his shoulder, but they were
not for wearing purposes, Dixson
declared that he had never worn
shoes and would ask the army
for special permission not to
wear them.

A ~—Pirst, plant carrots on a fair-|

been plowed or spaded a foot deep |
and well reinforced with manure]
or fertilizer. Soak the seed a day or|
two so it will germinate more quick-|

to 4 inches apart, and apply poison
two or three times to control the
maggot or little white carrot worm. |
I will send you a page telling how
to do that.
Q What is a good spray for red

A~Use arsenate of lead in a 2-

Q —When should pium and cherry
trees be sprayed?
A~~You should use a combina-
tion of either sulphur or copper
along with arsenate of lead, because
brown rot is lable to be as serious
as any insect damage. Your Stone
fruits should get bordeaux and lead
just before bloom; again when
py fall, and then every 10 days

Q Can sawdust be put on the

Q Please tell me how to make a
home-made electric brooder for 300!
chicks :
A ~For 300 chicks, your hover]
should be 3 or 4 feet in diameter,
and it would be better to have two!
brooders 2'%% feet across and not put:
ovér 150 chicks in one flock. The|
size bulb depends a little on weather
and how warm the brooder house is,
Start with a 100-watt bulb two or)
three days before you put in the!
chicks, and test with a good ther-|
mometer to see that you have at
least 90 degrees under the hover,
The chicks will raise the tempera-
ture about five degrees; and from
95 degrees the first two or three
days you can decrease about a de-
gree a day till you get down to 70.
Q~~What can I use to get rid of
large white grubs on Iris bulbs?
A. ~Use either arsenate of lead or
mercuric chloride; in this case, the
mercury Is better. Dissolve a 5-grain
tablet in 4 quarts of water and ap-
ply about a pint to a plant every
week till damage from grubs ceases,
You have to make these repeated
light applications to build up the
tolerance of the plants.

ithe local office to “judge every loan
