“FARM TOPICS
Clean up for Safety—Spring is
the time to clean out the hazards
around the farmstead. All kinds
of rubbish in buildings and outside
should be removed, and equipment
and supplies arranged orderly and
stored safely.
Sows Need Exercise—Brood sows
should be forced to take exercise
outdoors daily, except in extremely
bad weather. The exercise puts
the sows in good physical condition
for farrowing strong, thrifty litters.
Sunshine, too, is important to
health.
Grafting Saves Trees—Some of
the fruit trees girdled by mice or
rabbits during the winter can be
saved by bridge-grafting. Apple
and pear trees over three inches

in diameter can be bridge-grafted
with fair promise of success.
Use Glass Blocks— Windows of
glass blocks are attractive and have
proved practical in dairy barns.
They admit light, provide insulation,
and are easy to clean.
Pasture Cuts Costs—Poultrymen
can reduce feed costs by using grass
and legume ranges for their birds
this spring and summer. The for-
age contains valuable vitamins and
minerals.
Pigs Like Pasture—Good alfalfa
pasture saves 5 to 10 per cent of
the grain and 30 to 40 per cent of
the protein supplement needed in
the production of pork. A good
stand of alfalfa will graze per acre
18 to 20 hogs on full feed or 6 or
7 on a half feed of grain.
Select Colorful Shrubs—Color can
be added to the landscape of the
home grounds all through the year
by carefully selected shrubs. They
require less work and water than
annual flowers and have fewer in-
sects and diseases than tender
plants.
Treat Seed Oats—It pays to treat
all seed oats to control disease. Use
one-half ounce of new improved
ceresan per bushel a few days be-
fore planting. Growers also are
urged to use blight-resistant varie-
ties. 5
Bull Can Be Killer—Never trust
the gentle bull. He is always a
potential killer. Use a safe bull
pen.
Chicks Need Room—Although 300
to 350 chicks can be started in a
10 by 12 foot brooder house, they
need more space as they grow.
Double the space per bird every few
weeks.
Save Clover Seed—Because red
clover seed is scarce and high in
price, farmers should make the seed
go as far as possible. Good stands
often are obtained with 4 pounds
per acre, and in the present situ-
ation a bushel should cover 10
acres.
Control Corn Borer—Clean plow-.
ing is a great help in the control
of the European corn borer. Wire!
attachments on the plow aid in
pulling cornstalks and other refuse
into the furrow where it can be
covered by the turned soil.
Select Shrubs Wisely—For com-
plete satisfaction, it is necessary
to consider space, location, and
other factors in selecting planting
materials for the home grounds.
Buy plants only from certified nur-
series.
Help Sod to Rot—Lime and well-
rotted manure or fertilizer applied
to old sod before plowing will has-
ten rotting or decomposition of the
sod. This action will help to change
the organic matter into humus.
Potatoes Discolored— When seed
potatoes are cut for planting this)
year, brown discolorations starting!
at the stem-end and running
through the tuber may be seen.
These may have been caused by
vine killer used on the crop last
fall.

Nearby schools are providing such

Such a program requires consider-

At present Kingston Township
Schools have none of these facili-
ties, except a large, 45-cu. ft. elec-
tric refrigerator and an automatic|’
dishwashing machine which were
obtained through this Federal pro-
gram last June.
To participate in the hot lunch
program the building at the high!
school must be expanded to make|
room for a cafeteria kitchen, and!
dining room; while this is being,
done three other badly needed im-|
provements are planned:
1. Modernize the Home Econom-|
ics Department to a point where,
it will provide the girls of Kingston
Township with the latest and best’
facilities possible for studying, and
working out, the problems of mak-|
ing a good home.
2. Take the music room out of
the center of the High School Build-|
ing, where it annoys the pupils
and teachers in adjoining rooms,
and place it in a modern, sound
proof room, separate from the main
class rooms. !
3. Provide storage facilities for
storing athletic equipment, stage
equipment and supplies; storing
cafeteria supplies and school equip-
ment. |
The plans for the addition to
the present building were drawn up
by Lacy, Atherton, Davis and Wil-!
son, professional architects who
know their business; these plans’
have been approved by the Penn-!
sylvania Department of Education, !
and the Pennsylvania Department
of Labor as complying with good
design, good planning, and meeting
all of the State's Health and Safety,
requirements.
The cost of these improvements,
including cost of the addition to
the building; equipping the cafe-
teria and dining hall; moving the
Home Economiics Department and
re-equipping it; providing the sound
proof music room, and providing
the storage space will be about
$50,000.
A bond issue for this amount will
provide the necessary money, and
will be repaid out of current reve-
nues over a period of years. A
