Safety suggests, therefore, that you check through your medicine cabinet regularly and remove over-age medicines, bottles with unreadable labels, and any prescriptions about which you have any uncertainty as to the nature and purpose of the medicine. And while you are at it, put external remedies on the top-most shelf — away from internal medicines. Simple precaution will prevent possible danger from lurking in your medicine cabinet. t

Indiana Water Resources Review February, 1952 (Compiled by Indiana Department of Conservation, Division of Water Resources in cooperation with U. S. Geological Survey.) Temperatures were considerably above normal in Indiana generally during February. Precipitation was close to normal but the north and central parts of the state received less snow than average while in parts of southern Indiana amounts far in excess of normal were recorded. Average temperature for the month was 31.1 degrees, or 5.7 degrees above normal at South end, according to records of* the U. S. Weather Bureau. The highest was 54i degrees and the lowest 16 degrees. No days occurred during the entire month when the average temperature fell below normal. At the Indianapolis station of the U. S. Weather Bureau, theaverage temperature for February was 36.6 degrees, which was 5.5 above normal. The highest temperature was 61 degrees, and the lowest was only 23 degrees. At this station there were only* 6 days when temperatures fell below normal. Similar weather conditions prevailed at Evansville, where the Weather Bureau reported an average of 40.7 degrees or 5.6 degrees above * normal. Temperatures reached as high as 66 degrees and as low as 24 degrees at this station during the month. The average February temperature in Indiana is 30.7 degrees but during the last 20 years it has been above this average in 1.5 years,, and below it in 5 years. Sub-zero weather usually occurs during the month. In the 20year period there were 17 years in which zero temperatures were recorded and in 9 of them temperatures from 10 tp 21 degrees below zero occurred. Snowfall during February at Evansville was the heaviest of the winter and amounted ,to more than had fallen previously in the entire season. Although it amounted to only 4.4 in;, it exceeded the February snow at South Bend by 2 inches where there was a deficiency of 6.7 inches for the month. This winter as a whole has been one of unusually heavy snows fn northern Indiana where some localities had in excess of 100 inches by the close of the month. The normal snowfall for the month in Indiana as a whole is 5.2 inches, as compared to 6.2 inches for January, 4.8 inches for December and 1.6 for November. Average precipitation for February is 2.47 inches, which is the lowest monthly normal of the winter season, that for January being 3.15 inches; December 2,74 inches and for November 3.08 inches. During last February the precipitation at the South Bend station amounted to only .88 inch, which was .82 below normal. At Indianapolis it was 2.31 inches, or .52 inch below normal. But at Evansville it reached 4.41 inches, 1.07 inches in excess of normal. At the South Bend station the total precipitation since Jan. Ist amounted to 2.9*6' inches, .88 inches below normal. At Indianapolis it was 5.9'7 inches, an excess of .15 inch for the twomonth period. At Evansville the excess since January 1 wast .64 inch, or a total of 7.72 inches. Most lakes in Indiana declined in water level compared to January, the result of low precipitation and little melting of ice. Os 6'B lake gaging stations reporting for February only 5 showed a rise averaging only .14 foot. The other 63 declined an average of .45 foot. Two lakes reported a fall in water level in excess of one foot. Most observers reported some open water at the end of February but the spring ice break had not begun notwithstanding the high temperatures. Discharge from Indiana streams continued to be higher than normal for the second month, particularly in the; southern part, of the state, the area of greatest .precipitation an d melting of snow. The average discharge of the East Fork of White River at Shoals was 17.15'0 second-feet, or 238 per cent of normal. In the Mississinewa River at Marion the average was 13t6'2 second-feet, jor 153) per cent of normal. There was little fluctuation in ground water levels throughout Indiana during February but the rise in most observation wells in January was maintained. The seasonal trend is upward during the winter month's but 'the levels were already high the first of February. Os 15 3 observation wells reporting, 79 showed net rises, 70 declined, and 4 remained the same level at the month’s end. Most of the changes were slight. Os the same number of wells reporting in January, 122 indicated raised levels. The well at Syracuse showed a n’et gain of 7.0'2, While the well at Leesburg showed a drop of .12 (in feet). These are the only two wells reporting in Kosciusko county. Try the Journal Want Ade for immediate results.

Large and small shamrocks were much in evidence —the tables w’ere definitely Irish, with Irish carts holding potatoes — sprays of wheat sticking from carts —green qandles boasting actual potato holders —potted ivy plants trailing their dainty vine along the tables, and there was a lovely green-potted tulip, sent by Ralph Oyler. Entertainment was along Irish lines. A clever facsimile of a drinking well brought out the thirsty “Irish”—and some fun, too. A nice crowd was present, including the mothers of the Girl Scouts, many guests, and also Mrs. Pete Hilburt, president of the Senior Mothers club, sponsor of the Girl Scouts.

Pre-Spaded Plot Awaits Early Seeding Lafayette, March i!0. — Most folks get out to spade a plot of garden for early peas the first warm days in March or April. That’s not the way a garden specialist at Purdue University does it. While other folks are spading. he’s planting. W. B. Ward, well known garden man, likes to get a jump on the weather by preparing his ground for peas as soon as the soil is not frozen. His plan is to chose a small area, 10 feet square or larger. He spades it and leaves the soil as he turned it. After it is spaded, the area is covered with straw, spoiled hay, or similar material. Then he forgets about it until that warm day in March or early April. The mulch is removed, the dry top soil is leveled, and the pea seed planted. Peas, especially the dwarf varieties, dropped every inch or so in rows six inches apart, will produce the maximum yield. They are a cool weather crop and have to be planted early. Best of all, Ward says, his method doesn’t take any cultivation later. Phone us your news — 191!
