MENDED BY DECEMBER
GRAND JURY'S REPORT
Members of the December grand
jury, last Thursday, in their present-
ment to the court, recommended that
the couniy commissioners acquire a
tract of approximateiy 43 acres of
ground near the children’s home to
provide pasture for the cattle at
the home. ‘the land also will provide
space for the raising of hogs to sup- |
ply county institutions.
The new l.act which the commis-
sioners are authorized to purchase
lies to the right of the road leadin
to Nanty-Glo and is in addition to the¥hte by reducing

WINTER DRIVERS ARE
URGED TO FOLLOW SOME
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In a general attack on the hazards
of winter driving the war department
and the nation’s police chiefs have is-
sued a set of driving rules for those
| "who must drive this winter.”
Safe driving is being urged partic-
ularly this winter they state since
avoidable traffic tie-ups and acci-
dents can hamper home-front war
activities that are vital to victory.

Children’s Home plot.
The grand jury commended the
anner in which county institutions
are being managed. It recommended
that doors at the children’s home and
the county home be changed immedia-
tely to open outward instead of in-
ward and that additional fire hose be
purchased for the county home. It
also recommended that the lighting
system be changed in the court house
as soon as possible and that fluores-
cent lighting be installed.
Recommendation was made that
attention be paid to the condition of
the women's rest room and, if separ-
ate accommodations cannot be pro-
vided for jury members, the grand
jury suggested that more modern
sanitary features should be provided
and that the matron make frequent
ingpections to see that the quarters
are kept clean. It also was suggested
that new chairs be obtained for the
rest room or that the present ones be
repaired.
E. J. Morrissey of Cresson was the
foreman of the jury.

FARM CALENDAR
Timely Reminders from
The Pennsylvania State College
School of Agriculture
Sell Saw Timber.
Farmers can make more money out
of their merchantable timber by sell-
ing it in the form of saw logs on the
skidway or at the mill than as stan-
ding trees. Extension foresters of the
Pennsylvania State College say that
the reason for this is the increase in
labor costs, If the timber owner cuts
the logs he can get war time wages
for himself in addition to the pay for
the timber.
Use Manure Efficiently.
Limitations on the use of nitrogen
for fertilizer make farm manure
more valuable than ever for keeping
ing up the fertility of the soil. Ag-
ronomists of the Pennsylvania State
College point out that proper care
and use of manure plus clover and
alfalfa in the rotation will supply
most of the nitrogen needed.
Give Sows Good Care.
With a great need for more neat,
it is important that every farmer give
his brood sows the best care and man-
agement so that they will farrow
strong, healthy pigs in the spring.
Livestock specialists of the Pennsyl-
vania State College suggest plenty of
exercise, comfortable sleeping quar-
ters, water, feed, and mineral,
Test Good Tomatoes,
Among the tomato varieties tested
in 12 extension demonstrations this
year in nine counties, Penn State veg-
etable specialists found Rutgers the
|
‘green wraps” and homé garden use.
Hens Need Feed.
Be sure to increase the feed for the
hens as their egg production increas-
es. Penn State Poultry Specialists
say that 100 laying hens must con-
sume 25 to 35 pounds of feed daily
or body weight will drop and produc-
tion decline.
Protect the Lawn.
Stakes driven along the edge of
the lawn will keep automobiles from
getting off the driveway and on the
grass, remind Penn State ornamental
horticulturists.
