REFRIGERATOR REQUIRES CARE | Frequent Defrosting Increases Refrigerating Ability 1 Proper care of a mechanical re- ’ frigerator is one of the major it- ’ ems necessary to keep it in A-l i working condition. During the re , cent hot weather many queries '' have been sent to Inez E. Kent, extension home management special- i ’ Ist of Purdue University, concerning the care of the refrigerator. Miss Kent advises that the re- ' | frigerator be placed away from | the stove and not near an outside ■ ■ door. Place where it will be con- | - venient to the working center of I t the kitchen. Space around the out-, r side of the refrigerator and three ' ■ inches air space at the back helps I keep down operating coat. For or- • dinary operation the temperature I control should be set between 40 . and 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The refrigerator should be defrosted ■ when the frost on the cooling colls is one-quarter to one-half inch I thick. If the frost is thick it inter- ■ with proper temperature maintenance. After defrosting ' wash the inside of the refrigerator with lukewarm water and baking soda. Covering foods keeps out odors and prevents foods from drying out, says Miss Kent. Clean vegetables and cut off their tops before placing them In the refriger-l ator. Allow an air space between dishes and sides of the cabinet or proper circulation of air may be i stopped. The manufacturer's book of ini structlon should always be kept in a convenient place for immediate reference. These are only a few of the sugI gestions, says Miss Kent, which t j will aid in getting the maximum t j efficiency out of the electric reI ; frigerator. o HORSE SENSE i The home-maker who plans to make grape jelly should select slightly underripe fruit, but for conserves and jams fully ripe grapes are the best. i Indications, still inconclusive but encouraging, that an orange a day may help keep infantile paralysis away were submitted recently by a New York research physician. Mushrooms grown in air-condi-tioned houses_are the latest offering for the "gourmet’s table. Growing houses equipped to control the ] ■ temperature and humidity can i now produce thi’ee crops of mush j ■ rooms where ordinary houses pro-, duce but two. A straight road or lane acrossl the farm may save time and dist-1 auce, but it often wastes soil, says j the soil conservation service. On land that slopes steeply it takes a three-inch rut only a short time to become a three-foot gully. Os importance to honey produ-| cers, because it means a saving of. labor and equipment, is the state-1 ment by the Intermountain Bee | Culture Laboratory in Wyoming, that a single strong colony wilU produce as much or more honey than a number of small colonies that have no more bees all together than does the strong colony. For example, a strong colony of 60,000 bees will produce more honey than four smaller colonies of 15,000 each. The laboratory is operated by the Bureau of Entomology and Flant Quarantine of the United States Department of Agriculture. World stock of wheat next summer probably will still be 50 million bushels or more below the average which prevailed prior ty the accumulation of large stocks in 1932-33, the bureau of agricultural economics forecast today in its monthly review of the wheat situation. This assumes that total supplies will approximate present prospects and that the disappearance of wheat tn 1937-38 may he about the same as the average of the past three years. Mr. and Mrs. Dick Durkin and sou Billy of Indianapolis visited iu Decatur overnight.

FARMING IT . . . BY WILLARD BOLTE PZS 8 Easy LfiMEOTOKE ’3ILO WINDLASS -••'.s’, GAS KILLS PEA' LICE S' ’

The Illinois farmer shown in the i top sketch had 45 tons of limestone to spread—and by using his, head Instead of his back he and one man finished the job in two days. First he built a loading platform. .Then he built a tripod of planks to hold a rope pulley. Then he ran a 75-foot hay rope from his tractor—through the pulley—to a scraper—and the [ tractor did the rest of the job of , loading in about 5 minutes per load. The home-made trench silo windlass, shown on the left, lifts the silage out of the trench and swings it over the feedlot fence or dumps ! it into a wagon. ■ 1 Last year a Kansas farmer wanted to find out about fertilizer for sweet clover.

SQUASH FILLS I AUTUMN MENUS i 'Fall Crops Furnish Variety In Home Cooked Meals | With autumn in the offing. J squash and pumpkins begin to find ; a place on our menu. Squash, the , name of which is derived from an , Indian word meaning eaten green, ' j is of two varieties, summer and winter squash. lu selecting Summer squash, Aneta Beadle, extension nutritionist >' of Purdue University, says that ' one should look for* freshness and • heaviness for size. They should be . eaten while young, that is. white j the skin is tender enough to in- ' dent with one’s fingernails. They ■ i may be baked whole without disi ■ carding the seeds or rind or they ■ may be cut up and fried. I In preparing winter squashes the seefs m|ust be removed baking. In the matter of pumpkins, | Table Queen is a small variety i that boasts of fine baking quail-1 I ties. Cut in half. It makes two servI ings. The shell is hard, dark green | and slightly ridged. In storage, It | turns orange-yellow. For food value the winter varie- j | ties are superior, says Miss Beadle., ‘with larger amounts of protein.' starches, and sugar. Yellow squash , are rich in vitamin A. iron, and i phosphorus. Winter varieties of squashes and I i pumpkins should be gathered and stored by keeping them near the | stove for about ten days. Then reI move them to a dry place with a I temperature of 50 to 60 degrees F. ' Keep the surfaces dry and free from touching others or mold may form. A supply of squashes and pumpkins urpter favorable conditions may easily be kept on hand during the whole year. o | DODDER PLANTS ARE PREVALENT — Weed Is Making Appearance In Great Numbers j In Indiana Numerous questions are being asked by farmers of all parts of I Indiana regarding a small, yellow ■ colored vine that is' found in clov-j er, alfalfa, and lespedeza fields. This weed is dodder, a parasite that lives on other plants. The life history of the dodder plant is extremely interesting and, readily explains why it is a ser-j ious weed. The seed, after gerrn-j tnatton, forms a tiny leafless, ■ r

hand illustration shows how tall it grew without fertilizer. When he i applied 300 lbs. of limestone per acre in the drill he harvested 1,400 lb«. of hay (Fig. 2). And when he applied both lime and 60 lbs. of rock phosphate, he harvested 2,700 lbs. of hay per acre (Fig. 8). A rig like that shown in the bottom sketch may soon be a common sight in pea fields and other crops that suffer from plant lice. A solution of nicotine is forced into the exhaust of the motor—turned into gas—and the gas blows out under a canvas sheet that drags over the growing crop. It is reported that such a rig will delouse an acre of peas in 20 minutes at a cost of approximately J 4.00.

twisting plant. As it twists, it conies into contact with an alfalfa or clover plant and sends little tendrils into the stems of the host through which the dodder feeds. The dodder plant does not form roots and for that reason the plant is Independent of the soil aside I from the contact through the stem! of the host plant to which it is at- j tached. As the alfalfa, clover ori leXpedeza matures, the dodder ma- { titres with it. sucking nourishment ( to such an extent that the host i plant frequently dies or at least is seriously stunted- If the host | I plant dies the fodder spreads to, nearby plants and survives, tliusj i forming a gradually widening circle of infestation. Should Be Destroyed When these yellowish patches of dodder make their appearance in the field, they should be destroyed before the dodder seed is ma-| tured. Oil or straw should be i I sprinkled on the infested area and | burned. Care should be taken to : burn over the entire area so as to burn all dodder and clover or al-1 salsa stubble close to the ground. | ; It may be necessary to make a I i careful survey of the field and to | go through several times in order I ; to find all the patches of dodder. ! In rare cases an entire field may . , be completely smothered with dod dor. When such a condition exists ; | the field may be pastured. It will | lie necessary to pasture close to, 1 subdue the dodder and keep the | plants from producing seed and j i reinfesting the field. Dodder seeds have a habit of ly-i , ing dormant in the soil for a numl ber of years, remaining a constant niftnace to future crops of cloveralfalfa and* lespedeza. When dodder seeds have been allowed to form over extended areas, it is best to eliminate the host crops from the field for at least three or four years. The area should be plowed aud such dodder-immune crops as corn, oats, wheat and soybeans should be grown in thej ' meantime. i’ 0 ! !

TERMITE BOOK IS ANNOUNCED New Pamphlet Is Released By Purdue University Department Because of increasing interest 1 in the termite problem by city and 1 country home owners, as evidenced by the large number of inquir- | ies received, the Agricultural Extension department of Purdue University recently issued an illustrated bulletin dealing with the prevention and control of termites under Indiana conditions. The author of the bulletin. J. J. I Davis, head of the Purdue t'ntom- | ology department, explains that i prevention of the termite is poss- . ible by proper construction and is the ultimate solution to the term-' 1 ite menace. Therefore, architects and builders, as well as those contemplating building or remodeling, will be particularly interested in the suggestions on methods of con- ■ st ruction to prevent termite infestations, which are included in [the bulletin.

pounds of air-dried hay per acre where no treatment had been applied between the trees and 2 tons where 200 pounds of Calcium Cyanamld had been nuplied per acre. Where 400 pounds were applied the yield of dried hay was 500'4 pounds per acre. in an orchard which was Beetled to 4 pounds of red clover, 2 pound* of alslke, 4 pounds of timothy, and 4 pounds of alfalfa per acre in 1933 the yield of hay in 1937 was from Zti to 3V4 tons per acre. In another, similar orchard, «ee<ied to bluegrass, where uo fertilize er has been applied between the . trees the yield was 1,500 pounds per acre. This work Indicates that in many orchards the amount of the mulch material produced in the orchard can be doubled or trebled by the use of a broadcast application of nitrogen fertilizer at tha rate of 200 to 300 pounds per acre. This is a part of the orchard which has been neglected all too generally throughout the country, according to J. H. Gourley, Chief of the Department of Horticulture of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. Dance, Sunday. Sunset.
