Plow Gardens Both town and farm families are urged to see that their gardens are plowed this fall. Earlier planting and better seed beds resulting in higher fielding early gardens are usually obtained with fall plowing. Town people especially find it diffi cult to get gardens plowed early in the spring. Save Screens This Fall Keep window screens fit for the duration by cleaning and painting this fall, then storing carefully for the winter, advises the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Because neither bronze (ofter called "copper") nor aluminum-coated screening is being manufactured now, it is scarce and precious. Enameled and galvanized steel screening still on the market needs special protection against rust. Scrub screens with soap and water to remove dirt, grease and soot that does not brush off, then dry thor oughly. Any rust on the screen may be removed by rubbing with a stiff brush, dipped in turpentine. After drying, paint the wire mesh on both sides with screen enamel. To pre vent the wooden frames from warp ing or rotting with exterior house paint. Good winter quarters for screens are clean, dry and safely out of the way of objects that might bend or break the wire. Screens must be stored level so frames will not warp during the winter. Gophers Don Whelan of the Entomology Department at the College of Agri culture demonstrated how gophers can bn psily poisoned on the Fred Marqi;: larm near Avoca one day last wv k. He used an inexpensive poison sprinkled on small pieces of potato. The runways were opened by the use of a small iron rod so the poisoned bait could be dropped where it could be picked up by the gophers. Farmers desiring mere informa tion on th control of gophers are asked to contact this office.
