Harry Hinkle, Jefferson, Wise., says he wears glasses and used to have trouble with ruining the lens with hot sparks from welding and other sources. He purchased light amber sun glasses to snap over his glasses. Aids when using the grinder as well as welder. • Every farm needs a simple fire fighting plan, understood by every member of the family. • Now is the time to clean and re pair all tools and machinery. Arc welding* has become a necessity on the farm. • Hauling barnyard manure to the fields this winter will be profitable when weather permits driving over the soil. • Marginal land, if kept in tree pro duction, will provide a profitable cash income for the farmer. • A machine developed by research at the Oklahoma experiment station provides complete control of loose smut in wheat and barley. • A new insecticide containing hexachlorocycohexane, Lexone, has shown promise for control of cattle lice, many insects but may have lim ited residual properties. • By applying one pound of hy drated lime to each 5 square feet of floor space, poultry litter will keep in good condition longer even during the winter season. • Know your seeds. Some are pre served in cold storage, others in sun- warmed plots. • Two Netherlands inventors have patented a potato-digging machine said to be capable of digging and sacking potatoes in one continuous operation.

This is one than you won’t sneer, “That only happens in the movies,** for it’s happening every day, all around us and you'll recgonlze the honest efforts made by the producers to show with utter fi nesse the mental anguish of boys anxious to come home at the end of the war, yet fearful of what they may find when they reach here. The picture, however, is not a rowful one ... it has a good laughs delicately interspersed the tears . . . The cast is excellent ...
