Dirt prevention A dirt prevention campaign is a good way to celebrate the tra ditional sprung housecleaning "ason home economists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture sug gest. In many little ways the housewife can arrange to keep out dust and dirt and save her- Both smooth paint and a coat of wax are helpful wherever finger marks are a problem around electric light swithches. for ex ample, and handles of doors and cupboards. Modern streamlined and smoothly finished furniture nefds much less dusting than the fan cier styles of earlier periods. Some furniture fits down to the floor instead ef standing up on legs, leaving no spadj under neath to gather dust. Smooth fa brics for curtains' and upholstery catch less dast than rough fa brics. Linoleum makes a smooth, easily cleaned floor surface. Tr.c dustiness of cerr.nt fio're-' in basements ma- be prev nted by covering with asphalt tile.

An obvious but often neglected way to keep much dirt from be ing tracked through the house is a thick doormat outside every I shake clean and should be kept so if it is to do a good job of dirt prevention. Frequent brush-. mg of window screens atiu suis helps keep panes clean and savers window washing, especially in j summer. An electric ventilating fan in the kitchen carrries' off much of the volatile grease from cooking which tends to settle on walls, ceilings and cupboards and catch dirt. :r,.; .g- y- ,r. -; v-'- . rSTji'li''1!;!',' "11 I '':vrt'in.'e ' 3-' ' "'nI Si i j t3g --' . . giS'g;-T.4r by v ci '-: t r: u ; o j , Military Planes Succeed in War On Crop Pests CALEXICO. Col. 0J.R Some 25 former war pilots are operating converted Army and Navy train ing planes in what is probably the largest crop dusting campaign , in the world. The 25 planes can dust 25.000 acres a dav and the 500.000 acres in Imperial Valley are dusted at least once each year. Some sec tions arc dusted twice and even three times a year. The work is dangerous because the pilots fly only two to four feet above the ground, but only thwart ye been injured. zE i The poison uscl in the snray- ' mrr is the war-time developed DDT powder, which is vced in five and. 10 per cent strengths. i Attack Successful j The planes can apply the spray at the critical moment when the soil is wet and other equipment can't get on the field. The atrial atack on the mil lions and tr illions of bugs. . worms and insects that inhabit ! this rich agricultural district is '. successful in nil but one cae. That is the athis. which carries mosiac, a virus that attacks mel on. The problem is the obit of research by California universi ties and experimental stations. The pilot must clo all the duct ing either in the early morning or late in the afternoon. He starts at dawn and flies till 7 a. m. and again at 4 p. m. until dusk. About 500 acres can be handled in one shift, with a cost to the farmer of about S2.50 per acre. Thr"e Pusf-irtrs for Lettuce Lettuce is dusted first for cut worms then for Preen worm r-id loopers. and a third time for thr'D. The thrit? is also dangerous to th' melon. Flax requires one application per season to control the beet armv worm. Beets require three treatments per season. Most ot the cereal grains require no dust ing. Recently. 3.000 acres of cotton were dusted below the border in Mexico. The treatment was so successful that next season 40.000 acres of cotton will be given the aerial treatment.

It was not the unusually large brown trout that amazed the fr'shery specialists as much a the fact that Mr. Peterson land ed the Irout only to have thf trout shake the hook and flop back into the watr. Mr. Peter son, sad though he was. con tinued fishing the area for an other ten minutes, hopeful of catching the mate with no re sults. Finally giving up. Mr. Peters'on took one last cast and. ' sure enougn. tne proverbial j question, '"Can the same fish be ! caught twuce?" was answered as ! a large 5 lb. brown trout struck 1 again and this time was landed. Fishing over the state the past week has been fair to slow be cause of the cooler weather, however, good fishing is expect ed with the warmer weather pro mised by the next week's fore cast. While pheasant prospects at the present look much better than in ire bars during the early cuttings of alfalfa, thereby protecting at least the adult birds. Commission field men are fur ther asking the cooperation of ail sportsmen and farmers in the preserving of the s'temachs of all coyotes and foxes takm dur ing this spring period. Informa tion and materials for preserving cf such stomachs will be sent on request. This preserved material is" being used in a comprehensive survey by the Game Commission to determine the food habits of predators. SOIL SAVERS CLUB Sunday.
