When you get paint on the win-

does and you have to get it off,
soak the glass with hot vinegar.
Give the vinegar a few minutes to
work, and then rub or scrape the
paint off. A penny makes a safe,
effective scraper. If you use a
razor blade or something else that
is sharp, be careful around the
edges. A careless thrust may jab
under the putty and eventually
cause it to fall out.

Lack of Nitrogen
Retards Com Growth
Deep-Rooted Legumes
Add Nitrogen to Soil
(First of Two Articles)
A soil-building, deep-rooted sweet
clover crop grown regularly in the
rotation made the difference be
tween these (below) two corn fields.
Both cr^ps were grown at the Uni
versity of Missouri's experimental
farm at Columbia, Mo. Both had the
same fertilizer treatment, including
3 tons of limestone and 150 pounds
per acre of 0-20-20 fertilizer in the
row at corn planting time.
The crop in the upper photo was
grown on land that had a rotation
of com, small grains and shallow-
ip^lPI mm vix?
rooted lespedeza. Even late in the
season the growth is stunted and
scarcely head high.
The lower crop was on land that
had a rotation of corn, small grains
and sweet clover.
Over a 14-year test period, the
corn crop having the benefit of
sweet clover in the rotation yielded
10.7 more bushels per acre than the
other field. The average yields were
67.7 and 57 bushels per acre, re
spectively.
The sweet clover crop added extra
organic matter to the soil, improved
tilth and drainage and helped the
corn crop make better use of the
fertility in the soil. The taproots of
legumes such as sweet clover and
alfalfa probe down several feet into
the subsoil. They drill out passage
ways for water and air. They con
dition the soil from the surface on
down through the root zone.
D.S. Wheat Crop Makes
Strong Comeback, Report
The latest agriculture deartment
report on wheat prospects indicates
a crop of about 1,054,000,000 bushels
this year, or nearly 72,000,000 more
than forecast a month earlier.
Such a production would exceed
last year’s crop of 1,026,000,000
bushels and would be only about
96,000,000 short of the government’s
production goal—a goal which would
exceed prospective needs and add
some grain to reserves for future
emergencies.
Unfavorable weather, particularly
drought in the southwestern great
plains, and insects in the same area,
coupled with cool, wet spring weath
er, had put the^crop prospects un
der a cloud.
The indicated production—plus re
serves from past crops—would sup
ply plenty of wheat to meet any
needs seen now.
The department made no estimate
on corn production, but said pro
ducers were optimistic.

often entails special difficulties in
providing financing, of housing
teachers and transportation of
pupils, the rural school system has
been the slowest to develop. *
A model of what the rural com
munity can do to meet its prob
lems is the Holcomb community in
Finney county in southwestern Kan
sas. For 30 years the community
has been building an exceptional
rural consolidated schooL
The village of Holcomb is situated
eight miles west of Garden City,
the county seat. It has a population
of 200. Transcontinental highway
50 and the main line of the Santa
Fe railroad pass through it. The
consolidated school is the dominant
institution. There are an alfalfa-
dehydration plant, a post office,
and two filling stations, one of
which carries a small stock of
groceries. There is no church, no
bank, no general store. For the
services of these institutions, the
people go to Garden City.
On January 6, 1960, three dis
tricts voted for consolidation of a
school at Holcomb. On July 23,
1921, another district petitioned to
be admitted to the union district.
At various times since 1921 addi
tional districts have joined, the
latest additions occurred in 1946.
These additions brought to nine the
total number of districts to come
in and brought the area of the con
solidated district to 210 square
miles.
During the past 30 years the Hol
comb school has developed a full
curriculum, including instruction in
the elementary grades, from the
kindergarten up, and in the high
school full courses on every sub
ject, including vocational agricul
ture and vocational homemaking.
By 1950 the school owned 12
buildings and 20 acres of land. The
buildings included the main school
structure, a grade school, a voca
tional agriculture building, a
teacherage, a bus garage, and
seven teachers’ cottages.
T HE VISITOR to the Holcomb
community soon senses an at
titude of community pride in the
school and a marked popular solici
tude for the school’s welfare. The
solicitude extends not only Ip ath
letics and other extracdnicular
activities but also to courses offered
and to the maintenance of good
academic standards. The visitor
gains the impression that the com
munity, for all its enthusiasm for
athletics, would feel much less dis
turbed by a “disastrous” basket
ball season than by a reduction of
the school’s rating by the state de
partment of education from Class A
to Class B. The public created the
school and the public has stood
behind it.
The Holcomb community was one
of the first in the state to place a
program of rural school consolida
tion into effect and it has proven
to be an experiment of note to the
entire country. In the school’s 30
years, there have been 715 gradu
ates of the eighth grade and 361
graduates of the high schooL
Faced thirty years ago with con
ditions that might well discourage
a rural community regarding school
facilities for its children, the people
of the Holcomb district, through
the exercise of courage, ingenuity,
enterprise, and group loyalty, have
met their situation successfully and
in a way that may well be an ex
ample to many other rural com
munities.

THE

CORNER
NO APOLOGIES
By Georgia C. Nicholas
**Y 0U ’ RE LATE, Neil Horner!”
* Taffy handed Neil her jacket
to hold for her.
‘1 know it,” Neil said, “And
what’s more I forgot to bring back
that book that my mother bor-
■ ■ ■ rowed from your
3 -Minute m f. t . h ' r -;
And you re
Fiction not even sorry?”
■ . ■—I Taffy prodded.
Neil opened the door for her.
“I’m only ten minutes late and
your mother said she was in no
hurry for the book.”
Taffy didn’t answer until they
were in the car and on their way to
the Horner residence for dinner.
“Just how late do you have to be to
say you’re sorry?”
“What good would it do to say Tm
sorry?"
Taffy didn’t answer. She didn’t
want to start a quarrel now. She
didn’t know Neil’s parents very well
and she did hope they’d like her.
Taffy's mother and Neil’s mother
belonged to the same club and that’s
how they became acquainted.
“When are you going to say you’ll
marry me?” Neil asked as if he
didn’t know Taffy was peeved.
*T’m not. You haven’t any man
ners.”
“I haven’t had any complaints
before. Don’t I always open doors
for you and all the other things a
guy is supposed to do?
“Oh, yes, the manners that
can be seen. But just between
us two sometimes I think you're
downright rude. You never apol-
ogize.”
“When are you going to say you'll
marry me?”
GRASSROOTS
California Highways Followed by Spanish Padres
By Wright A. Patterson
T HE VISITOR to Boston wonders
at and comments on the narrow,
winding, crooked streets of the
business section of the city. The
natives, to whom he comments, tell
him those streets were the cow-
paths blazed by the cattle of the
early pioneers, and the people of
Boston cherish them for that rea
son.
Far to the. west, on the shores
of the Pacific, from San Diego
north to the Oregon border,
from the beaches of the ocean
eastward through the high Sier
ras, the San Bernardino and
others of the several mountain
ranges, stretch the magnificent
California highways. They were
not blazed by wandering cattle,
but by a devoted band of Span
ish padres in their efforts to
carry civilization and Christi
anity to the Indians.
To those weary, disheartened,
Spanish, and their following of na
tive Indians, they were traversing
El Camino Real. Today the tourist
follows the same route when his car
glides over the concrete marked as
Highway 101. That was the first of
many trails that were blazed. Along
it, starting at San Diego, and north
to Monterey, the padres, led by
Father Junipero Serra, built mis
sions, from which to lead the Indi
an natives from the ways of bar
barism to civilization and a Chris
tian life. The tourist of today as he
travels over Highway 101, passes
these missions.
Some of them are now but pic
turesque ruins, others are still be
ing used as religious ‘centers. In
these, the tourist may attend mass
if he so desires, and enjoy some
thing of the atmosphere of those
trail blazing days, of approximate
ly 100 years ago.
For the continuing historic
and scenic panorama as blazed
by the Spanish padres, the peo
ple of California cherish their
highways, as the people of Bos
ton cherish their crooked
streets, because they were once
the cowpaths of pioneers. Ex
pert engineering, and vast ex
penditures have transformed
the hazardous mountain passes
traversed by the padres into
safe highways over and through
the mountain ranges, across the
sands of the Colorado desert.
Should yon visit California,
whether yon travel by train,
north or south, by bus or by pri
vate car, either of the Rolls-
Royce type or the family jalopy,
yon will follow the trails blazed
by the Franciscan padres. -
Where their missions were estab
lished now are located a number of
the state’s cities. Los Angeles be
gan as San Gabriel mission. It was
the padres who discovered San
Francisco bay, and there they es
tablished a town that is today the
city of San Francisco. The city of
San Diego started as a mission. As
the tourist travels up and down the
state, and across its mountain
ranges and deserts, he is following
the El Cameno Real as it was
blazed by the padres. On those
trails are to be found intensely in
teresting history, an abundance of
adventure and romance, and beauti
ful scenic effects
Those devout Franciscans did not
realize that they were laying out a
great highway system to serve an
alien people. Their interest, other
than that of civilizing the Indians,
was to establish a new colony for
their king, that of Spain, and to pro
vide routes of travel to and from
that colony as they trudged the
weary miles of ocean beaches or
desert sands, through the dense
chaparral and the difficult stony
passes of the mountain ranges.
They did not realize they were serv
ing as the highway engineers of a
state in the American republic, but
they were.
To the trails blazed by the padres
were added those of the fur traders,
those of the gold seekers, those of
the stage coaches and the emigrant
wagons, many of them following
those of the padres. Today all of
these constitute the thousands of
miles of hard surfaced highways,
or the rails of the railroads that
make California and its many
places of historic and scenic inter
est so easily accessible to the
travelers using such transportation
as best suits their wishes. The El
Camino Real of 100 years ago is
Highway 101 of today.

We lost the services of MacArthur
but we still have the ambassador to
Mexico.
“See why I never apologize,**
he whispered.
“I won’t say it till you say you’re
sorry you were late and that you
forgot the booh.”
This time Neil was the quiet one.
The situation was still unsettled
when he turned onto a winding
driveway. “Oh, Neil, do you think
they’ll like me?” Taffy asked.
“Does it matter?”
T AFFY had no chance to answer
that one. A maid opened the
door for them. She showed Taffy to
a bedroom and while Taffy was
taking off her jacket Mrs. Horner
entered.
“I’m so sorry I wasn’t at the front
door,” Mrs. Homer mourned. “I
was all upset this afternoon because
the butcher didn’t send the kind of
meat I ordered. I’m afraid it isn’t
going to be a very good dinner.”
• Taffy did her best to assure Mrs.
Homer that she was quite comfort
able without her jacket. It seeded
that the oil burner was out of kil
ter.
“I don’t know how I look in this
dress,” Mrs. Homer said. “It’s one
I made myself and I just finished
it this afternoon.”
Taffy laughed her polite iittle
laugh and they went downstairs.
Mr. Horner was a much more com
fortable person to meet. He tried
to make conversation at the dinner
table and cancel his wife’s depre
cation of everything. After dinner
he said, “Mother, I think our guest
might like to see some of your
paintings.”
“Yes,” Neil said, “Mother's giv
ing Grandma Moses a run for her
money.”
Mr. Horner led the way into
the living room. Mrs. Horner
said, “Oh, they really aren’t
worth looking at.”
“Then let’s not look at them.”
Had Taffy said that? Taffy had.
She realized it on the word ‘look*
and that was too late. She put her
hand over her mouth and faced
NeiL His mouth was open as if
he’d started to say something,
changed his mind and forgotten to
shut it. But there was a sparkle in
his eyes, the same sparkle she had
loved for a long time.
She wasn’t quite clear about who
said what during the next minute.
But somehow Mr. Homer led Mrs.
Horner out of the room and people
said goodnight. She still stood there
looking helplessly at NeiL
He held out his arms. “See why
I never apologize?” he whispered.
“Yes, I see. I still think you car
ry it to extremes, but if I can ever
be forgiven for what I just said I’d
like to marry you sometime.”
“Forgiven? That was Just what
my mother needed. Now let’s take
this book back to your mother and
tell her we’re engaged.”'

Science cautions shooters against

that such bouncing bullets lose very

Facts to support the warning
were established by scientific testa

feet from the muzzle.
Ricocheting from water at this

velocity, after leaving the witer,
of 1,195 feet per second—a loss of
only 45 feet per second speed! And
bullets will ricochet from water at

they will not ricochet at 15 degrees
or more, the tests disclosed.

would cause severe wounds.
Cubes of gelatin, backed up by
blokks of wood, caught the bullets
after they ricocheted, and it was
noted that penetratihns were almost
as deep as those of bullets fired
directly into the blocks. The upset
bullets yhich ricocheted off stone
did not go so deep, but instead
plowed wide channels.
Rifle experts who have warned
of the danger of shooting at water

Praise for DU
Canada’s prairies, while home to
the continent’s waterfowl, has an
even larger stake in the democratic
nations’ econofny. The prairies pro
duce much of the world’s wheat,
rivaled only by that produced in
Russia’s Ukraine, and to a lesser
extent, in our mid-west states. The
source of all this economic wealth
is inevitably tied to waterfowl, for
the same ingredients—water and
prairie land—are what produces
both. Thus sportsmen of the United
States, out to produce waterfowl
for hunters, have aided the eco
nomic recovery of a nation.
Ducks Unlimited has been official
ly recognized and praised for the
role it has played in nearly every
corner where water conservation is
of primary interest. The water sta
bilization committee of Alberta re
cently issued a report showing the
work it has done since 1947. Recog
nition of DU importance in the
work is illustrated by its member
ship on the committee, appointed by
the provincial government, consist
ing of engineers from the govern
ment and Ducks Unlimited.
The objective of the committee is
the conservation of water, the ob
jective of DU is the conservation of
waterfowl. With their objectives aof
closely knit, the two have provided
a model of cooperation. When
propagation of wild fowl is the main
purpose of a project. Ducks Un
limited pays two-thirds of the cost
and the Province one-third. When
the major benefits accrue to the
people of Alberta as a whole then
the distribution of cost is reversed.
On one lake where thousands of
waterfowl nest, the Province pro
vided $140,000 of the cost as against
DU’s $10,000.

Use The Reel
Although one can successfully
land the average fish caught on a
fly-rod by using the line, it is
both smart and good insurance to
use the reel when playing a really
good-sized fish. When the slack is
taken up, you can let the fish take
Uni* directly from the reel, which
will mean that the tension is kept
uniform and there is no danger of
too much snubbing, as might be
the case in hand-playing, and thus
losing the fish. 0
