That was no two small sticks of

severely—and it finally comes out
that Homer got so cussed mad at
that everlasting stump, he'd plant-
ed a charge of TNT beneath its
roots.
Reminds you of all the exeoses
human beings use to cover up bad
judgment. Like the "two-beer
alibi." When somebody gets into
trouble, and blames it on "a couple

they are covering up the truth.

facture of roofing felts and

further even find
the manufacture of plastics and

You know when you go back

Texas peach growers, with a
2,774,000 bushel crop in 1945, may
have a much wider market for
their product in the future if a
series of tests on long distance
hauling of tree-ripe fruit this sum-
mer are successful, a report issued
by Dr. Charles W. Hauck of Ohio
StaU- University indicated today.
Pointing to preliminary tests
made with southern peaches last
year, Dr. Hauck said the results
had convinced him that the con-
sumption of peaches could be great
ly increased if tree-ripened fruit
were delivered to consumers in
good condition. He revealed that
several carloads of fully ripened
peaches in consumer packages
would be shipped 6000 miles from
Spartanburg, S. C., to Columbus,
Ohio, in June to test findings al-
ready made.
The shipments, according to Dr.
Hauck, are another phase of the
Columbus Experiment beinE con-
ducted by the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station, A & P Food
Stores and several packaging sup-
pliers in Columbus, O. The experi-
ment seeks, through consumer
packaging and refrigeration in
the retail store, to reduce the
present estimated 25 per cent
waste and spoilage of fresh fruits
arid vegetables.
"Perference of consumers for
their place i"|rjpe pt.at.hes was strikingly de-
monstrated in this series of tests
in A & P ptores," Dr. Hauck, who
is the Experiment Station repre-
sentative in Che study, said. "Fu.-
ly ripened peaches, offered at a
five-cents-a-pound premium, out
sold the hard-ripe fruit two and
one-half to one. When the pre-
mium asked was only about an
average of a cent a pound, the
ripe fruit outsold the other four
and one-half* to one.
"The company was unable to
obtain enough of the fully ripened
fruit to meet the demand of its
patrons who returned seeking ripe
fruit after having had highly
satisfactory experiences with ear-
lier purchases," Dr. Hauck said.
"When ripe peaches were avail-
able, sales of hard penrhes prac-
tically ceased, and after supplies
of ripe fruit were exhausted, con
siderable time elapsed i>efore sales
of hard peaches again picked
up."

to the Ethyl Corporation, Chrysler
Building, New York 17. N. Y.
The first film offered ha- the
title of "This Is Our Land" which
centers around the plnn of helping
American farmers prevent fur-
ther devastation of the soil by
wind and rain. The next film
I is called "Old Mac Donald Had a
' Farm", which illustrates how
| Angus learned to avoid back-
[ breaking work by learning to
put into its proper use the pro-
per equipment to get the job
done. The third film is titled,
"At Your Command". This Is a
report to American farmers illus-
trating the services which are now
available through the Department
of Agriculture. The fourth film,
which is called "Masters of the
Soil", dips into history to visua-
lize farming of the pioneer days
together with the improvements
that came with the production of
modern agricultural equipment.
The last film is called "The
Long Road". Here is an interest-
ing story of how primitive man
discovered the wheel, and the de-
velopment of its use. One cannot
help but observe what wh els
and modern equipment can do on
the farm when you go south of
the border and drive even to Mont-
errey. Many of man's earliest
methods of tilling the soil are
still in use there. Incidentally,
all of these films are 16 mm,
have sound, and are in black and
white. Most communities por-iss
16 mm sound projectors at their
j schools. If such are not available,
projectors can be obtained from

Unlike all other refrigerators,

Natural Gas, to produce cold. The
simplicity of having no moving jnirti
