Ripeness Important In "Combining" Grain Farmers who are planning to use combines for harvesting their small grain crops may profit -by a word of caution again this year, says county agent W. C, McCarley, pointing out the importance of letting the grain ripen thoroughly before starting the combine. During the past few years there have been some criticisms of the combine method on account of the grain spoiling after harvest. This difficulty, however, waaoprobably due in most cases to harvesting of the grain before It was dead j*ipc. the county agent explains. In harvesting most cereal grain -the combine should not be started until ten days to two weeks after it is customary to begin harvesting with a binder. If the threshed grain feeU damp or is easily dented with the fingernail, the moisture content is too high for safe storage. If there Is any doubt as. to the safekeeping qualities of the grain after being harvested with a combine, it should be spread out on the floor of some shed or other building and stirred frequently for severaL.days. Another method that has been re- | commended is ,to sack the grain In sacks that are not more than two-1 thirds full and stack the sacks In rows sojhat air can circulate freely on at least two sides. It Is also advisable to move the sacks Once or twice a day to Insure better ventilation. Invite Aid Of Birds j To Control Insects ) Clemson, April 27.?Invite the aid i of -birds in controlling injurious in-. sects, suggests W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist. "When certain kinds of insects injure a farm crop, tihe attack often comes at the edge of the 'field, orchard, or woodland?not at the center," Mr. Nettles states. "I* the fence rows or edges of the fields are Attractive to birds# the fanner has an. auxiliary line of defense against the inaects. The birds mar he able to destroy some of the Insects before, the Insects can lay their egg* or complete the immature period of development." The specialist cites the opinion of H. H. Bennett, of the Soil Conservation Service, that this Is one of the reasons, often disregarded,, that may make R wise to make the edges of fields attractive to wildlife. "Some weeds that grow in vintend-1 ed margins of a field may harbor diseases that attack crops, and the farmer may need to kill out those, weeds," Mr. Nettles continues. "Clean cultivation of fence rows or repeated mowing or burning have been advised in the past as means of controlling insects, but might it not be wiser to replace the weeds with berry-bearing shrubs or a border of herbaceous perennials such as serlcea lespedeza I that will attract birds that help control insect pests?" Norwegian authorities deny reports than King Haakon haa left Norway and gone to 'Sweden. They say the xmg still is "somewhere in Norway" with his government. % A ORCHESTRA LEADER OFFERS TIP TO YOUNGSTER MUSICIANS Harry Raymond, one of the Soulh'a moat promising loaders, who 'brings his College 'N' Orchestra here'for the Policeman's Ball on KTlduy, May 10, offers a tip to youngsters who encounter parental objootlons to playing modern music. "I know how those kids feel," says Harry. "I wanted to have a band ever since 1 can remember, but I used to drive my pareuts nearly crazy with my early efTorts which, I will admit, were not easy to put up with. It looked for a while as though 1 would have to give up music In favor of a legal or business career." Harry Dually convinced his parents that his future happiness was to be found In a musical career and they capitulated to his wishes. So he, with twelve other young musicians that he knew, entered NowtMsny college, to study and at the same time play. Harry advises, "If you have any musical tulent and want to play an instrument don't let anybody stop you. But don't give up your education. Select a college that has a good music department and study. Too many youngsters let music make them one-sided and regret in later years that they didn't combine their musical education with their regular course." . Students everywhere have fuund | Harry always ready to talk to them about music and college.
