Make Buildings Ratproof - One of the effective controls of rats is rat- proofing of buildings. It will pre- vent the rats from getting an ade- quate feed supply by keeping them out of granaries, corncribs, feed hoppers, and other structures. Keep Poultry Records - Good rec- ords are essential to profitable poultry management. The records will show which birds are pro- ducing at a profit and which ones are losing money for the poultry- man. Protect Potato Quality - Careful handling is necessary to protect the quality of potatoes from farm to market. Use Proved Dairy Sire - Select a proved sire to head the dairy herd He should have sired daughters having higher production than their dams and also higher pro- duction than the average cow in the herd where he is to be used. Good or better type also must be considered. Store Sprayer Safely - Every spray- er needs a thorough cleaning be- for it is stored for the winter. Lubricate the pump and check for worn parts to be replaced before another season. Oil leather plun- gers but not rubber or fiber plun- gers. Test Soil Samples - Lime should not be applied to farm soils unless needed. Have the soil tested for lime needs. Take a little soil from a half dozen spots in the area to be limed and mix it for the sample to be tested by the county agri- cultural agent. better grade of milk produced.

The Back Mountain League swings into action tonight with the top game of the evening slated for Kingston Town- ship’s floor as the Katies play host to Fairview Township . . . . Both squads, together with Dallas Bor- ough, are rated as top place teams Fairview features a high scoring attack with veteran pivot- man Gene Straus and guard Frankenfield at its head Kingston Township is counting on its all senior quintet to cop its first championship in the Back Mountain League . . . . This game is a toss-up with the final stand- ing of the teams hinging on it. Dallas Borough will entertain Laketon with open arms tonight . . The Boro-ites figure as tops in this encounter with their fast attack and pressing defense giving them the nod . . . . The Blue and Gold is sporting another all senior combination which already has a decisive win over Forty Fort to its credit . . . . Laketon will rely on the dead shooting of Danny Gulitus to keep them in the running. Dallas Township travels to Leh- man in another toss-up affair.... Neither team is very strong, but the Scotties will have the slight advantage of playing on their home floor . . . . Harter draws a by this week and can just wait and see how things shape up . . . . The Plymouth Township boys don’t stack up as a top team, but may cause a lot of trouble to the rest of the league. Shavertown Lutheran Dallas Methodist ‘A’ GT. T, G. F.'T.

Bert Owens is league president assisted by Bill Baker, Jr., Jack Roberts and Byron Kit- chen . . .. There are many veteran ball players on the rosters with the greater part of them recent high school graduates . .. . It has been pointed out that this is a post-school league no high school students are eligible for any of the teams. | Top game of the week was the nip and tuck contest between Leh- man and Trucksville at Lehman | gym of .

In the other game played on the Lehman floor Dallas Methodist “B” defeated Carverton- 37-26 . Templin, Knecht, Edwards and Roberts led the Dallas team against a sur- prisingly strong Carverton outfit.

Washington St. : Wilkes-Barre, Pa.—Phone 3-9459 Home Shortage Is Being Met Building Activity Declines In State Twelve months ago many a con- tractor the length and breadth of Pennsylvania—and the Nation too —scoffed at the thought that build- ing ‘activity would decline for an- other three years. Builders too, basking in the sun of a war-born housing shortage and a concequent era of financial pros- perity, plugged confidently ahead demanding of any and all who would pay, the highest prices on record. But the housing shortage in Pennsylvania is gradually being eliminated and, the number of houses for sale’ is steadily on the increase. 7 Building factivity—dué o fantas- tically high prieés—is gradually falling off throughout the State. Records of the State Depart- ment of Labor and Industry over the past half dozen months show that the number of building per- mits taken out are on a definite decline. In August for example, of 346 cities reporting, a total of 1603 building permits were taken out for new residential homes. In contrast, during the month of September the number of permits issued for new homes dropped to 1241. Correspondingly the estima- ted cost of these new homes drop- ped from $17,259,766 in August to $11,711,962 in the following month. A spokesman for the department pointed out that this represents a decrease in home building permits of 22.6 per cent and a 32.1 per cent decrease in estimated costs, ALENT Vaults Protects valueblos ot Jess than ic o dey. i First Floor == Street Level — Ne/Stairs & STE TTT FN ETN Sa TY SHOP FIRST NRER SECA VIF Hr Cabinet Sinks We Have All Types In Stock Luzerne Plumbing Supply Co.
