Farm ‘Calendar Timely Reminders from the Pennsylvania State College School of Agriculture Quality Product Important As competition increases, the best assurance for holding estab- lished farm market outlets or de- veloping new ones is through emphasis on quality produce, de- clares Dr. Kenneth Hood, exten- sion agricultural economist at Penn State College. Among other helpful factors he would add gkill, good management, and re- search, and also good breeding in the case of poultry and live- stock. Turkey Field Trip Turkey growers attending the first annual Turkey Management Conference at Penn State College this week had an opportunity, on a field trip over the College tur- key farm, to observe experimen- tal work with grasses and legu- mes. Growers exchanged exper- iences on range practices which they have found successful. Increase Productivity Running water on dairy farms often results in an increased pro- duction of milk ranging from five to 20 percent and improves living conditions from the health stand- point. about 100 percent. Clean Out Laying House Cleaning and making necessary repairs to the laying house for the new pullet flock more than pays in increased production for time and costs expended, say ex- tension poultry specialists of the Pennsylvania State College. Bees Pollinate Clover Three to four colonies of bees per acre in the clover field will give better pollination and a bet- ter set of seed, although a small- er number will be helpful.

United Front had abundant opportunity to reg- ister prior to the general election. Electors in Johnstown all have the opportunity to vote for coun- ty candidates at the coming pri- mary. Michael C. Chervenak, who is a veteran member of the Gen- eral Assembly, where he served with distinction and who is seek- ing nomination as controller, is taking advantage of the pending primary to get better acquainted with Johnstown people. Chervenak, of course, has been sent to the As- sembly by the county district— that is, the portion of the county that lies outside Johnstown. Many Johnstowners who have been fa- miliar with Chervenak’s name for years, have never met him face to face. He is the sort of candidate who has the knack of making friends as he goes.

Smoke, Soot, Gas Stunt Pine Trees Acute Injuries Found At Distance of 15 Miles Studies conducted by the Dept. of Forests and Waters at Harris- burg with relation to the effect of smoke and gas fumes upon trees and other vegetation reveal that actual injury has been found to extend a distance of 10 or 15 miles, and chronic injury to an even greater distance, sometimes 50 to 100 miles. The topography of the country, the prevailing wind direction and natural air currents caused by hills and valleys determine the distribution and extent of injury. Sometimes vegetation growing close to the source of smoke and gas fumes showed little evidence of injury, although trees in for- ests standing at a considerable distance may be severely damag- ed. The poisonous property in gas and smoke is due to several sub- stances, the most important of which is sulphur dioxide, research foresters said. Soot, in addition to the sul- phuric acid in the gases, causes injury by accumulating on the leaves, clogs the stomata, and in- terferes with the normal ex- d| change of gases necessary for starch formation and tree growth. A study of the planted and natural tree and shrub growth in park areas of various cities and surrounding territories show- ed that the ailanthus and sumach are not seriously affected, but the pines are in an unhealthy condition and make very little growth. The foresters said that various species of oaks such as white, pine, and red, are not affected nearly as much by the. smoke and gas conditions, as are the pines. The American elm also seems to thrive fairly well under these conditions, they added. _ From the studies conducted it is evident that planting of con- ifers in areas affected by smoke and gas is not recommended. De- partment research foresters pointed out that the most resis- tant conifers are the Austrian pine, arbor vitae, and red cedar. Coal Production Rises This Year Incomplete car loading reports from railroads, as compiled by the National Coal Assn., show the soft coal production in the U. S. for the week ending Aug. 2 as about 11,540,000 net tons. Production for the correspon- ding week last year was 12,310,- 000 net tons. Production Jan.1 through Aug. 2, 1947, was about 354,569,000 net tons while production Jan. 1 to Avg. 3, 1946, was 292,351,000 ons. It is wiser to form a character than to reform it. In the county all of the candi- dates named are unopposed except Owens and Farrell, Chervenak and Wess. It is understood that all of the | endorsed candidates will present a solid primary front. So far, the primary has beer moving in “quiet channels.” It remains to be seen whether the existing reign of de- corum will remain till the end. Among the Democratic endors- ed candidates, Joe Wess is the on- ly one who resigned from the of- fice he now seeks in order to enter the service. Wess was serving as clerk of courts when the war be- gan. There is a quite general feel- ing in both Democratic and Repub- lican circles that he should be giv- cn the chance to serve a full term —in the event there isn't another war, of course. There are those who have re- cently been contending that the names of some GIs have been un- necessarily stricken from the as- sessment lists and that the sta- tutes did not make proper provis- ion for them. That, of course, is incorrect. Pennsylvania had one of the most liberal soldier's ballot laws found anywhere in the coun- try. The election laws were amen- ded in 1943 and in 1945 in order to make it easy for the soldier to vote while in the service and also to vote immediately after his dis- charge. As a result of the fact that the registration lists were not revised for a number of years, in order to make certain that no GI was stricken from the lists, the coun- ty’s voting lists were a mess. They carried the names of persons who were dead, who had moved from the county, who had been killed ov- erseas and who had neglected to years. If the commissioners had not revised the lists they could have been compelled to do so by man- have reached voting age since the time they entered the service have From Forest Fires Despite the sizzling, fire-haz- ardous weather, Penn's woods are doing all right—thanks to careful Pennsylvanians. * The carefulness is paying off { with the commonwealth’s best for- est fire record in recent history, says chief warden Horace D. Row- land. He disclosed today only 15,000 of Pennsylvania's 15,000,000 acres of forest land have been ravaged by fire so far this year, compared with averages of from 20,000 .to 100,000 in other years. “We must thank campers, sportsmen, picknickers and all oth- ers who use the woods for being al- ert against the possibility of acci- dentally setting fire to our valu- able forests,” he said. Here in the local fire district, chief forester Charles E. Zarby of the Gallitzin district, said the sit- uation is much the same here. “It has been a below-average season with few fires since early June,” said Zerby. “Figures on the fire losses in the last few months will probably be released this week.” “The losses have amounted to practically nothing, compared to vote for a considerable number of damus proceedings. The GIs who AUTO GLASS | PROPERLY FEPLACED EXPERTS! ALL MAKES AUTOS SPANGLER ) AUTO EXCHANGE Phone 321 SPANGLER the same period in other years,” he continued. Like his boss, how- ever, he stresses the need for con- tinued care on the part of those who use the woods. Wardens still continue to be busy, however, he said. They have done much work this summer In repairing towers and cabins along with their regular inspections. Wardens in this district also have been following a state-wide program of painting airway num- bers on the’roofs of their install- ations. Your Health... From the Medical Society of the State and Cambria County Medical Society From 25 to 40 per cent of all deaths from cancer are due to cancer of the stomach. More than 40,000 persons in the United States are victims of the insidious disease each year. Some of the outstanding authorities on gastric cancer have been themselves, victims of cancer of the stomach. Only 25 per cent of patients who have cancer of the stomach are suitable patients for a cura- tive type of surgery. X-rays discovered in 1895 are the most reliable means of diagnosing cancer of the stomach Only six per cent of the pati- ents who have cancer of the stomach are alive five years later. The problem of cancer calls for continued and intensive scientific research. 700 Lauguages Spoken More than 700 different lan- guages are spoken in Africa, ex- clusive of dialects.
