they were discarded, so when he

I was sitting with my spouse
behind a huge clump of Christmas
green decorations on the sun porch
of a certain home on
Eve completely hidden from view,
when a young man and a girl
came and sat down on a divan
nearby.
Suddenly my wife whispered:
“Oh, he does not know we are
here and he is going to propose.
Whistle and warn him.”
“What for?
warn me,” I growled.

talk to me, alright.

Termites and Pecans
Termites usually live in dead
wood and most people associate
them with wood destruction. How-|
ever, pecan nursery stock and small
trees sometimes are killed by the
feeding of termites in the roots. The
tree may have its taproot or its
branches tunneled until only a shell
or the bark remains.

Americans consume 420 gallons of
oil products per person each year.

Fight Against Gypsy Moth
The gypsy moth has stripped
leaves from an estimated 1,500,000
acres of New England's forests in
two years. It was a losing fight

application of DDT sprayed from an |

Mud Made to Order
It may seem strange to pump
mud into a hole being made in the
earth, but that is what drillers do
when sinking an oil well. However,
it is not the mud pie variety but a

order by the mud engineer.

Tough Soles
When the average person walks a
mile, the leather soles on his shoes
support a cumulative pressure of
500,000 pounds; yet the fibres of the
leather lose none of their flexibility
or resilience. ?

Butter is the basic factor used in
establishing farm prices sand mar-
ket values on milk, cheese,’ ice
cream and all the other many farm
products related to the dairy cow.
