UNION PRESS-COURIER . Thursday, June 5, 1947 PAGE TEN Miners No Longer Need Look ‘Black’ On Pit Emergence Coal miners no longer need to look like blackface comedians when they come out of the pits. Increased use of synthetic soaps to lay mine dust is the reason. These “soapless soaps”, which chemists call wetting agents, are combined with a water spray. By reducing the amount of inflamma- ble coal dust in the air they pre- vent explosions, reduce the health hazard and aid illumination. The recent miners safety strike has brought about more extensive use of the synthetic dust keeper- downers. The dustiest jobs in coal mining occur in cutting coal seams with mechanical saws and loading coal with automatic machines. Dry cutting brings the dust up around 500 million or 400 million particles per cubic foot of air, which is highly dangerous. Dust can be reduced by using a spray of water with the cutting machines, but only a small percentage of the mines do this because water often is scarce and expensive in the mines. By utilizing synthetic soaps, the amount of water needed is reduced about four-fifths, The use of water spray alone cuts dust particles to around fifty million to 70 million particles per cubic foot. This, however, is still around the danger point. The Bu- reau of Mines believes this should he reduced to approximately 20 million. Tests have shown that a syn- mers in 45 different counties, says W. B. Connell, extension livestock specialist of the Pennsylvania State College. —The average American uses about six pounds of salt each year to season food. MASTER'S NOTICE OF RING John M.

Farm Calendar Timely Reminders from the Pennsylvania State College School of Agriculture Efficient Grazing Dividing pastures, especially Ladino pastures, with temporary fencing helps achieve even and efficient grazing the first time over in the spring. The best pas- ture management aims to utilize the pasture at its best, but avoids too-close grazing during May and June. Train Camp Leaders Leaders of 4-H Club and rural women’s camps are being trained this week at Camp Kaneastake in Huntingdon County. They will con- duct camps in their own counties or sections of the state this sum- mer. First training conference of this kind was held at the same place last year. Control Dog Ticks Carriers of the serious Rocky Mountain spotted fever, dog ticks can be controlled by DDT. Exten- sion entomologists of the Pennsyl- vania State College recommend a light dusting of 5 to 10 per cent DDT powder applied to grass, weeds, or shrubs at the rate of 2 fo 4 pounds an acre, or one ounce per 1000 square feet. Preserve Fence Posts Only black locust and red cedar posts last well without some form of preservative. Extension forest- ers of the Pennsylvania State Col- lege recommend treatment for all other species if the fence line is to stand more than ten years. Partnerships Work A study conducted by the agri- " \ cultural economics department of the Pennsylvania State College has revealed many successful fa- ther-and-son farm partnerships. Some conclusions drawn from the study have been published in Penn- sylvania Farm Economics. Provide Summer Shelters Summer shelters on the poultry range provide healthful quarters for developing pullets and simplify the management problem by re- ducing labor requirements, accor- ding to F. H. Leuschner, extension poultry specialist of the Pennsyl- vania State College, who adds that such shelters release the brooding quarters for an additional flock of chicks, while the regular laying quarters are being prepared for the new pullet crop.
