Soil ‘Bank Recount'
Determines Returns
Check Up an Solvency
To assure Prosperity
Check up on your soil fertility
“bank account.” It’s more important
to you than the number of dollars
you have in your commercial ac-
count
Your present and future prosper-
ity depends on your soil’s crop pro-
ducing ability. Crop producing abil-
ity, in turn, depends on the size of
your soil fertility bank account—
how you match deposits and with-
drawals.
Every crop you sell carries with
it nitrogen, phosphate, potauh and

other plant nutrients. Unless you
balance these withdrawals with
good management “deposits” that
replace nutrients, rebuild organic
matter and repair damaged soil
structure, your soil bank account
wii. be overdrawn.
Among steps recommended for
keeping your soil bank solvent are:
Use deep-rooted legumes regularly
in the rotation. Apply lime on tne
basis of soil tests. Use commercial
fertilizer containing phosphate a?id
potash as needed. Return mama-■*,
corn svalks, straw and other crop
aftermath to the soil. Use contour
cultivation and other conservation
methods where necessary.
Just as you will get a notice if
your checking account is overdrawn,
lower per acre yield and higher per
bushel costs will notify you if your
soil bank account is being over-
drawn.
Farm Bulldozer Blade
This bulldozer blade can be at-
tached or removed from a tractor
in three minutes. The blade was
salvaged from an old road scraper
and the pushers are old 1.1/2
inch galvanized irrigation pipe.
The U-clips which attach the
pushers to the tractor are 1.1/4
or 1/2 inch flat iron which was
bent into shape and welded to the
pusher pipes. Braces for the
frame are 1.1/4 inch pipe.
Hampshire Sow Sets
New Production Mark
Ringold Lady Dora, 753,056, with
the litter with which she established
a new production record for th*
Hampshire breed. This sow is the
first to have made a “Six Star” rec-
ord in the Hampshire registry. She
is five years old and has raised 75
pigs in eight litters. In her six star
litters she has raised 62 pigs, an
average of 10.3. These pigs weighed
a total of 413 pounds, 56 days after
farrowing. She is owned by William
C. Goodheart Jr., Eaton, Ohio. She
was fed corn, oats, alfalfa and pel-
letized milk by-products prior to
farrowing. Her pigs were raised on
a ration of seven parts corn and
three parts oats with 8 per cent
milk by-products added.
Tests Disclose Silage
Increases Hay Tonnage
Tests of haymaking methods show
that considerably more tonnage of
feed will be obtained from a mead-
ow crop when it is put in a silo
than can be procured by any other
method of storing.
Analysis of field cured and mow
cured hay and of grass silage
show a larger percentage of protein
in grass than in similar forage cured
either in the field or in the mow.

Railroad Slang
The brakeman entered the res-
taurant and sat down at the counter
for breakfast.
“What’ll you have?" the girl
asked.
“Bring me two headlights, a string
of flats, and one in the dark,” he
ordered.
While the girl was new' on the
job, she wasn’t to be kidded with
railroad slang. She returned with
a glass of water and a whistle.
“What’s this, what’s this?” the
railroader sputtered. “That’s not
what I ordered.”
“I know it isn’t,” the girl answered
cooly, “but I though maybe you’d
like to take on water and test your
steam before you ate breakfast.”
Matter of Opinion
They were sitting beside each
other on the hard bench of the rail-
way station, one reading his news-
paper and the other rubbing his
knees and emitting at frequent inter-
vals an exhausted “Phew!”
“What’s wrong with you?” the
reader asked.
“Dunno; feel like I’m 60 years old
this morning.”
“That’s too bad, isn’t it? Age
is certainly an annoying thing.”
“No, it ain’t,” the old one replied
cheerfully, “because the truth is,
I’m 85.”
Emergency Case
“Darling,” he said, “I’ve seen the
doctor and he tells me I have to
give up smoking at once. One lung
is in terrible shape, already.”
She flinched. A look of agony
came over her pale young face.
"Oh, dear!” she cried. “Can’t
you hold out a bit longer until we
have enough coupons for the new
radio?”
SERMON TOPIC
“Brothers and sisters,” said the
preacher, “the subject of my ser-
mon today is ‘liars.’ But before
I begin I have a question: ‘How
many of you have read the 69th
chapter of Matthew?”
Nearly every hand went up.
“You are the people I am
preaching to,” he replied. “There
is no such chapter.”
Party Manners
The mother was briefing her young
daughter, who was about to return
a little friend’s call. “If they ask
you to stay for dinner,” she in-
structed, "say ‘No, thank you, I have
dined’.”
But at the visit, the friend’s father
said, “Come along, my dear, and
have a bite with us.”
“No, thank you,” the little guest
replied. "I already have bitten.”
WOOD ON WOOD
Mr. Wimple was suing for divorce.
“And then Judge,” he protested,
“my wife hit me on the head with
an oak leaf.”
“Well, that couldn’t have hurt you
surely,” the Judge commented.
“Oh, couldn’t it?” answered Wim-
ple, “It was the oak leaf from the
center of the dining room table.”
Thankful Teacher
Little Tobey was telling his mother
about the day in school. “Mother,”
he said, “today our teacher asked
me whether I had any brothers or
sisters, and I told her I was the
only child.”
“And what did she say?” asked
his mother. ,
“She said, ‘thank goodness!’ ”
Recruit Trouble
A middle-aged woman lost her
balance and fell out of a window
into an ash can.- A Chinese hap-
pened to pass by, and remarked:
“Americans velly wasteful. That
woman good for 10 years yet.”
Thermometer Coed Cheek
For Temperature of Hay
Danger of a barn fire from spon-
taneous ignition of hay can be re-
duced through the construction of
a simple hay prod thermometer to
i check hay temperatures, advises
Fred Roth, farm safety specialist
at Michigan State college.
When hay is stored with much
over 20 per cent moisture content,
danger of heating in the mow is
present unless a mow drier is be-
ing used. Even small amounts of
damp hay, if all in one spot, may
cause heating in a limited area.
Heating of the hay takes time
and checking should be done con-
tinually for two months after hay
is put in the mow. A hay prod ther-
mometer can be made inexpen-
sively to give a good check of the
temperature of the hay. The outfit
consists of ten feet of one-half inch
electrical conduit with an oak or
ash point on one end to permit
driving into the hay. Six one-quar-
ter inch holes should be punched in
the conduit above the point. A
dairy thermometer on a string is
then put into the conduit. A rubber
pad at the bottom of the tube will
keep the thermometer from break-
ing.
To use, the prod with the ther-
mometer inside is inserted in the
hay and left 10 to 15 minutes. The
thermometer inside is inserted in
the hay and left 10 to 15 minutes.
The thermometer is then pulled up
with the string and read immedi-
ately.
Water Tunnel for Research
Engineering details of the coun-
try’s largest water tunnel, to be
built at Pennsylvania State college,
at State College, Pa., were disclos-
ed before The American Society of
Mechanical Engineers at its semi-
annual meeting. The tunnel will be
used by the ordinance research, la-
boratory at the college, principally
for research on torpedo propellers.
A water tunnel is the hydraulic
counterpart of a wind tunnel, and
is used in research on the design,
modification and improvement of
propelled underwater devices, in
much the same way as a wind tun-
nel is used in tests for airborne de-
vices. The circulating tunnel will
be 97 feet long and 31 feet high.
The test or working section will
have an inside diameter of 48 inch-
es and will be 14 feet long, large
enough to permit testing models
more than eight inches in diameter
and eight feet long. The tunnel will
provide a smooth, streamlined flow
of water in which such models can
be tested with a maximum velocity
greater than 60 feet per second, or
40 miles per hour.
Tomatoes from a Tree
Tree tomato generally is consid-
ered to be a native of Peru. Al-
though generally unknown in the
United States, the tree tomato
grows in many other parts of the
world. The plants as they grow in
Puerto Rico are woody shrubs,
sometimes approaching the size of
a small tree, 12 to 18 feet tall and
two to four inches in diameter near
•the soil surface. Most people con-
sider the succulent, subacid fruit
similar in taste to that of our gar-
den tomato; others, however, think
it resembles the gooseberry or the
passion fruit. When cooked its
taste is not unlike that of apricots.
Herald Want Ads Get Results.
It was a very hot day and the
sergeant was having some awkward
moments with the awkward squad.
At his wits’ end, he called a halt and
wiped his sweating brow.
“I’m cussed if I know what to
do with the lot of you,” he growled.
“There’s some shady trees over
there,” suggested a recruit hope-
fully.
"I know,” said the non-com, “but
I haven’t got any rope.”

Uncle Sam Buying Diamonds
Uncle Sam is buying diamonds
on a large scale. Before the war
75 per cent of the world’s dia-
monds were marketed in the Unit-
ed States. “Now it’s about 85 per
cent,” said Joseph Baumgold, sec-
retary of the world’s largest dia-
mond cutting firm. Biggest buyer
of diamonds today, after the pros-
pective bridegroom, is Uncle Sam.
Diamonds, of coursd, are a stra-
tegic material. Diamonds cut
through aluminum and other light
metals developed for war use as
though they were so much butter.
