If stocks pile up in fertilizer plants and agents’ ware houses, the stream of supply will choke up. They must move fast or the lack of man-power will cause a para lyzing shortage. ; Take the Chilean Nitrate situation for example. To supply the quantity needed for 1945 crops, many car goes must be unloaded each month at each port, then moved out by train and truck for immediate allocation. It must move out of agents' hands as fast as it moves in. If not, the choke-up starts and works back to the ports, even back to the ships. Already there's a threatened shortage of nitrogen, due to sharply increased war needs. Unless you help smash the bottle-neck by taking your nitrate as soon as it is offered, the shortage will become acute. Thous ands of tons will pile up at U.S. ports or on the docks in Chile. The only place Chil ean Nitrate does you any good is on your crops. Get yours now ... while you Storage Tips Pile oil materials on dry boards in barn or shed. Pile materials separately.

V. Most Heart Disease Begins in Childhood By pr. j. B. Warren As most cases of heart disease start in childhood, it would be well to try to prevent the ail ments that are responsible. The chief causes are tonsillitis, scar let fever and diphtheria, and children can now be protected against these ailments. The ton sils should not be removed if they are healthy even if they are Urge. If they become unhealthy ♦hoy should be removed. Rheu matism follows attacks of tonsil- !i;js and rheumatism causes the majority of cases of heart dis ease. It is now possible to pre vent diphtheria and scarlet fever by inoculation and vaccination. o m en IN THE URCH ylHary Fowler* A permanent inter-church wom en’s committee has been formed in Elkton, Md., as a result of the work done by Miss Lena York, worker in defense and war indus try areas under the Methodist Woman’s Society of Christian Service. This committee has as sisted in securing parents to help with vacation school programs (held under Miss York’s leader ship for a six-week period), which j were commended by the commu nity housing manager. Church groups are sponsoring the collec tion of bocks for a library which is greatly needed in the area. They are planning additional old-fash ioned church socials in the recre ation hall of the housing project, the one already held having prov ed successful. The women have also had full cooperation and clearance with U. S. O. staff and personnel, public health nurses, and housing project service ad visers. More Indian women must be drained as nurses and public- health nursing must be developed as a field for the service of Indian women, according to Bishop J. Waskom Pickett, of Bombay. Two- thirds of the nurses in some areas of India are now the product of Christian homes, schools and churches, he says. The need for nurses has increased, and the. val ue of the profession is being real- | ized more than ever before. Hr urges a better training for nursing service. “The war has increased India’s needs enormously,” says Bishop Pickett. “It caused a ter rible famine in two provinces and an acute food shortage everywhere n India last year. A new empha sis upon medical work, both cu rative and preventive, is essen tial.” . Mrs. R. R. LeMaster, of Goliad, Texas, has made a gift of $1,000 to the Board of Missions of the Methodist Church for the con struction of an evangelistic cen ter among the aboriginal Bhils, in the forests of the Gujarat area of India, as a memorial to her late husband. The center will be ad- minstered by the Rev. W. Perrell Pledger, Methodist missionary toj the Bhils, at Godhra, Panch Ma hals. The Bhils antedate the Hindus and Mohammedans as res idents of India and have never i accepted either faith, being ani-| mists in their religion. Some | thousands of them have been won to Christianity in recent years. X Late Fall Important In Better Farming Those Boys Need^^: W v/fc ! A <3rOOD SALEi WHO WORKS CHEAP # , nnnypAPEB ADV6RTISM& <S> In field, orchard, and garden, there are important late fall jobs essential toward better farming, says County Agent G. W. Bon- nette, who lists the following brief hints for sepcial attention. * Agronomy 1. Save seeds now for next year’s planting. 2. Use a liberal amount of complete fertilizer under small grains. 3. Sow enough wheat for a good supply for home use. 4. Don’t leave any cotton unprotect ed from weather; it may lose five or ten dollars per bale in value. 5. Destroy at dnee any remaining :otton stalks. 6. Begin preparing synthetic comjpost piles. 7. Buy and apply lirffostone. 8. Keep all fields green with cover crops this winter, thereby saving plant food for next year’s crops. Horticulture 1. Prepare land now for setting fruit trees in November and De cember. 2. Prune scuppernong type grapes last of November. 3. Make cuttings of grapes and figs and set them out. 4. Set straw berry and raspberry plants. 5. Sow lettuce in coldframes for use in January and February. 6. Plan and prepare for the 1945 garden. Insects and Diseases 1. Disinfect seed of all small grain for disease control. 2. Avoid diseased sweet potato vines where selecting seed. 3. Purchase ma terial for dormant orchard spray and overhaul spray equipment. 4. Fumigate weevil-infest#*! grain where practical. 5.

The back - to • the • land movement, contemplating the settlement of < new lands, will pose a problem of • critical importance. Obviously this nation will not need any large amount of addi- ! tional farm land in the near future, - according to a recent report on postwar agricultural policies by the association of Land-Grant colleges and universities. Farm production has been at rec ord levels, despite wartime short ages of manpower, equipment and materials. When peace returns, fewer people will be needed in full time farming than before the war, even if the purchasing power ;of consumers remains high so as to assure a good demand for farm products. For the returning veteran, his best opportunity lies in the leasing or purchase of existing farms of known productivity from which ’ older operators wish to retire— and many will retire, since the av erage age of fanners now is high er than ever before. } The best work can be done by .local organizations, committees of dhe local chamber of commerce, • farm bureau, grange or some simi lar organization, which can make a ’survey of available farms in their - enmrnunity and make arrange ments for these farms to be pre sented for the veterans’ use. For the protection of the veteran ’ as well as the nation’s agricul- • ture, it might be advisable for > states to zone rural areas so as to bar undesirable districts to set- * tiers, and also for state and fed- t eral land purchase programs to . take submarginal farms out of cul tivation. The present prices on farm real estate are at levels where caution should be exercised in their pur- . chase. Despite this fact every indi- : cation points to a further advance . in farm values. In figuring out how much to pay , and how much of a mortgage debt. to carry, it must be remembered ; 'that future farm income must pay; the debt It must also be remem-v bered that present farm incomes ? may not stay at their present bight levels. Poor land is harder to pay ; for than good land. V 4 Although clearly it would be a ■ mistake to establish many new • commercial .farms, that does not ‘ necessarily apply to part-time 2 farms and rural residences, which? have quite different possibilities i and limitations. There is a place tor i the latter in our countryside, espe-% cially in areas close to centers ot * employment. Shorter hours andv more rapid travel facilities have s enlarged the opportunities ot com-.* bining non-farjn employment with’ niral livto*. ' Pdrercttiood BY M ‘N MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor, Parents’ Magazine FATHER RULES FOR CHILDREN Here is a down-to-earth look at the discipline problem through the eyes of a father. We pass it on to you without comment except to say that every mother should benefit from its remarkable insight into parent-child relations. “1 secretly suspect that many parents take all manner of hurts out on their children. When the whole world seems to thwart us at every point, there always remains one channel where we may turn to dominate—we may rule our chil dren despotically. “When I was a boy I received lit tie punishment, but I got a lot of something worse—something which turned me wrong side out more ef fectively than punishment does— ridicule. Every act, idea, and ut terance was made fun of. I as sure you that my parents did not mean to,- and did not know they t were doing so. But their belittling ^ my serious hyain-children, their l laughing at me, taught me to keep ; my mouth shut and avoid express- • ing myself no matter how pent-up my feelings were. t “I am trying to prevent the growth of that same squashed feel- ting in my boys. But, lo and be hold, I periodically discover myself releasing my bitterness toward them, in the form of punishment and ridicule, which in turn are bound to set up the same attitude t in them. / “The reverse of this feeHng Is a t certain sense of ai-home-ness, of \easy cooperativeness, which means ♦health, happiness and success. It llooks to me as though the almost ’universal lack of this healthy, posi- ♦tive feeling goes back to the same attitude in the parents. It is passed from generation to generation. “If I were a mother in charge of child rearing, here are some of the things I would do to draw out the energies of the children and pre vent this tragic ill-at-ease. (1) Keep myself out of the discipline prob lem. Say ‘our’ home, not 'my' home. Instead of T want you to,* say, ‘it is necessary.* Make disci pline the inevitable result of the wrong acts, not a personal relation ship. (2) Write a set of rules to cover the commonest problems of social behavior in the family, and post them on the wall. Then the appro priate rule may be invoked, keep ing me out of it, and avoiding ir regularity and experimentation. (3) Never tell a child to be quiet. Let him argue, let him cry. Thus he discharges his feelings and purges his system. If his actions are too unsocial, call In a set rule such as retiring to his room till the storm is over. (4) Avoid saying ‘no* to every thing. Offer a substitute. If the child is intent on annoying me, sit down and suggest an idea with the building blocks or the scissors. That is, start his energies flowing out ward in a natural, useful, healthful channel. (5) From the earliest days, keep the child mixing with other chil dren of his own age or a little older. (6) Flan some way to get away from my childreh periodically. The most important thing in mother hood, as in wifehood, is perspective. Rest and change give perspective and mellow the feelings." i corn stubble, covering deeply to control the southern corn stalk borer. 6. Plant oats on wireworm- infested land and save velvet beans and crotalaria seed for in terplanting. 7. Reduce entrance to beehives to two-inch space for the winter months, and feed bees where necessary. Agricultural Engineering 1. See the county agent for plans of ratproof corn cribs, machiner' sheds, and other types of farm buildings. 2. Check over farm machinery for needed repair parts, and predr these parts now to prevent delays next spring. 3. Store farm machinery after clean ing and greasing parts that may rust. WANT ADV.
