To keep fish from breaking when

To keep coat buttons from tear-

Flower pots can be made from

Ravel the thread from an old

Fly Is Paralysis Carrier
Discovery that common flies
carry the virus of infantile paral-
ysis has been made by Drs. John
L. Paul and James D. Trask at
Yale university medical school.
It is now evident that poliomye-
litis (infantile paralysis), which
cripples 10,000 persons and kills
from 500 to 1,000 every year, is a
disease of the intestinal tract as
well as the spinal cord, and that
flies may carry the virus from
sewage.
The discovery of Drs. Paul and
Trask makes the common house
fly more than ever an enemy to
health and even to life itself,
especially among children.

Urea for Growing Lambs
Farmers were told of tests in the
laboratories of a university's divi-
sion of animal nutrition in which
the performance of growing lambs
fed urea was compared with that
of lambs fed diets containing such
protein sources as soybean oil meal,
casein, skim milk and corn gluten
feed. With rations of a 12 per cent
protein level, 50 per cent of the
nitrogen as urea is as satisfactory a
source of nitrogen as commonly
used protein concentrates.

AN IDEA!
“There goes the curse of the army,’’
said Lieutenant General Somervell
as thousands of rubber stamps were
tossed into a collection of old rub-
ber. Which makes one realize that
somebody missed a bet when they
failed to emphasize rubber stamps
in the rubber drive. Rubber stamps
arc not only the curse of the army,
they are the curse of the country.
How about a last minute appeal to
America to throw its rubber stamps
into the war on the Axis? Nothing
could be better spared.
By DR. WILLIAM A. ALBRECHT
(Department al Salla. Callage at Agriculture.
Ualvaraltp al Miaaaurl.)
That sick soils will not build
healthy animals any more than they
will produce sturdy field crops is
significant in view of our national
tendency to combat soil erosion by
allowing much of the fertility-de-
pleted soil to go back to grass.
In place of giving attention to soil
fertility measures that feed growing
plants, we have too often adopted
the practice of “crop hunting” in the
mistaken belief that when one crop
starves another can be found that
will thrive on the same depleted
land. But we can’t breed crops
against starvation any more than a
sterile parent can transmit the char-
acter of sterility.
Evidences of declining soil fertili-
ty are seen in the greater nnmber
of deficiency diseases among our
farm animals. Veterinarians are
constantly faced with increasing
cases of strange animal ailments for
which no specific body weakness
or visible physiological cause can
be found. Eye ailments, a tendency
to blindness, bad gaits, rounded
back lines, inferior condition, poor
feeding progress, and even debility
and death can be traced to deficien-
cies in animals’ nutrition.
If newer legumes or non-legumes
grow more successfully on less fer-
tile land, then such crops must be
taking less nutrient from the soil.
Thus these crops can offer the ani-
mals that feed on them less of pro-
tein and of ash which, for animals
the same as for plants, are the items
drawn from the soil.
Animals Limited in Feeding.
Confined as they are, animals are
limited in their feeding by the soil
fertility of the farm. Supplements
such as proteins contain too little of
the minerals needed. And when ani-
mals protest by rooting up the very
earth or climbing the fence in search
of better forage, such actions are
met by rings in the nose or cumber-
some yokes about the neck. Human
serfs have been prohibited in this
country for about 75 years, but ani-
mal slaves can be seen on any trip
through the country. Too often they
are almost in a state of starvation
because their master, the farm own-
er, neglects his soil fertility.
Our soils must become factories
instead of continuing as mines from
which the fertility is unendingly
drawn. Raw materials such as lime-
stone, phosphorus, potash, and other
fertilizing elements, organic matter
and other plant nutrients must go
back into the soil. In our “soil
factories” we must produce more
usable nutrients for plant service.
Such nutrients must not be hauled
off unless equal amounts are re-
stored.
The Du Pouts have taken out a
patent under which they claim it
is possible to stamp women’s hats
and clothes out of a new fabric. No
needles, no sewing machines, no
thread, no scams, no ridges. Imag-
ine a woman saying, “I'm going
down to the machine shop and get
me a new frock.”

Lynn Says:
How many jars are you putting
up of the fruits? Here’s a guide
to help you pick out jars:
Cherries: 9 baskets yield 2 pints
pitted, 7 pints, if whole.
Peaches: 2Y« pounds (small
basket) yields 1 quart.
Plums'. 1 14-pound basket
yields 25 pints.
Strawberries: 1 crate yields 26
ptnts, if canned whole; 31 (7Vi-
ounce) glasses of jarn.

The Sugar Question.
Fruit may be canned successfully
without sugar or sugar syrup with
water or fruit juice used in its place.
Sugar, however, does mellow and
ripen the fruit, giving it a better
flavor. You might try making your
fruit syrups for fruit canning less
sweet than usual if you are short on
sugar.
Honey may be used in place of
sugar in making the sweet syrup,
but the fruit will be somewhat more
dark than if sugar is used and the
fruit flavor will be intensified. Use
honey for each cup of sugar in the
substitution.

first bought a
tractor outfit
together in 1940. Sharing the
$1,030 outlay and the operating
expenses proved to them the ad-
vantages of partnership.
Their second enterprise was
buying a pure-bred Jersey bull,
which cost $150. Then they bought
a seven-foot power-take-off mow-
er, a feed mill mounted for trans-
port, and a ground-driven row
binder.
The two farmers say that the
machinery they joined in buying
saved their crops last fall. They
figure that what they did as a
common sense plan will have to
be done by others from sheer
necessity.

canning will re-
quire more care-
ful planning than ever before, for
waste in the fruit itself, canning
jars, rubbers or sugar is highly un-
desirable.
Chart your plans before embark-
ing on the canning program. Con-
sider first how much sugar you will
have available, with the five pounds
per person allotment for people who
are canning. Plan this amount so
it will do for the jams, jellies, pre-
serves, and sugar syrups for fruit
canning.
If possible, can in the early morn-
ing hours when you are rested and
your mind free from too many oth-
er thoughts. You will then be able
to follow recipes more carefully, to
work with more energy and spirit.
The day before you will, if you are
the bright and alert homemaker,
have gathered together your jars,
washed them, bought necessary sup-
plies of rubbers and covers and oth-
er equipment.
Bring out the preserving kettles
and pressure cookers, too. See that
they are well scoured, that you have
the racks, petcocks, pressure gauge,
and steam-tight cover on the pres-
sure cooker well in order.

cessing fruits because they are acid.

use a large wash "
boiler or vessel with tight fitting
cover. Fit this with a rack at least
H inch from the bottom. Fill the
rack with enough water to cover
jars at least one inch over the top.
Count the processing time as soon
as water surrounding the jars begins
to boil. There should be free circu-
lation of water around jars.
For oven canning, set the tempera-
ture at 250 degrees. Set jars on a
rack in the cold oven, however. Start
counting time when oven is switched
or turned on. Do not allow the tem-
perature ever to exceed 250 degrees
as this causes liquid to boil away
and evaporate.
In placing your jars m the oven,
allow for free circulation of heat be-
tween them. Do not allow the jars
to touch each other, as this will often
cause breakage, and do not allow
them to come in contact with
sides of the oven.
If liquid evaporates during
processing in the oven, do not
