Chimney Should Be Examined' For Fire, Gas Hazards A thorough chimney inspec tion by an expert heating con tractor should be a' part of the spring household routine. Even the most insignificant flaw should be corrected immediately. Protracted and heavy winter firing of the furnace frequently causes mortar and bricks to crack and the cement to part from the joint where the smoke pipe enters the chimney. Twenty-four per cent of all home fires are caused by overheated or defective chimneys and heat- ! ing equipment. Not on:y is this condition a serious fire hazard by providing a pathway for flames and sparks to reach nearby combustible ma terial, but it sometimes allows dangerous gases to escape into the house. Unless such protection is al ready provided, a part of the spring chimney repair should be to pack the space between the chimney and nearby wood fram ing with mineral wool because the insulation will prevent ex cessive heat from reaching the wood.

Cass County Extension Notes Be Careful, Haste Makes Waste Five tractor caused fatalities in one week in Nebraska report ed, one of which occurred in Cass county. Facts are not available on what was the cause of all of them. The failure to observe safety rules no doubt was responsible for its share. The loss of life or even a finger, arm. or leg is a heavy price to pay for the inr fraction of any safetv rule. Lets just review these rules for safe tractor operation and observe them and live. 1. Be sure the gear shift lever is in neutral before cranking tne engine. 2. Always engage the clutch gently, especially when goine up a nm or puinng out oi a ditch 3. When driving on hiehwavs. or to and from fields, be sure that both wheels are braked simultaneously when making an emergency stop. 4. Always ride on seat or stand on platform of tractor. Never ride on drawbar of trac tor or drawn implement. 5. When tractor is hitched to a stump or heavy load, alwavs hitch to drawbar and never take up the slack of chain with a jerk. 6. Be extra careful when work ing on hillsides. Watch out for holes or ditches into which a' wheel may drop and cause trac tor to overturn. 7. Always keep tractor in gear when going down steep hills or grades. 8. Always drive tractor at speeds slow enough to Insure safety, especially over rough ground or near ditches. 9. Reduce speed before making a turn or applying brakes. The hazard of overturning the trac tor increases four times when speed is doubled. 10. Always stop power take-off before dismounting from tractor. 11. Never dismount from trac tor when It is In motion. Wait until it stops.

Clarence Schmadeke, County Agricultural Agent Seated Efficiency Sit down ironing has been recommended to the housewife ever since efficiency experts be gan applying to homework rules learned in industry for saving effort, fatigue and time. Why. then, do most women continue to stand while they iron yet re port that ironing is one of their most tiring jobs because of long hours of standing? The answer is that most iron ing equipment in the average home is not suited to sitdown work. Most homes have fold ing ironing boards with criss cross supports which lack space underneath for the knees oi tne seated worker. Mony of the older irons still in use are too heavy, too tall, or poorly shaped for the seated worker or have cords that drag, catch and get in the way. Few homes have chairs convenient for sitting at the ironing board. Studies of 25 women at the job of ironing showed that when seated comfortably at a board of the right height, women use different and less tiring motions than when standing. When standing, they tend to exert un necessary pressure on the iron or grasp the handle tightly. When sitting, they use an easy sliding motion which irons just as "ell with less effort. The studies showed that the ideal height of the board for a seated woman just clears her lap and the ideal chair is a com fortable, armless office chair just high enough to let the feet rest easily on the floor with a swivel seat, adjustable back rest and casters so that she can swing around to reach clothes basket or rack or move along the board for fast and easy work. The station found that with such equipment women can iron for long hours without fa tigue and with high efficiency. Most women voted for an ad justable board which could be raised or lowered to suit differ ent workers and both stand-up and sit-down ironing. Most preferred a board 58 inches long and 14 inches wide with a tap ering end. Engineers at the station designed two types of homemade boards for sit-down ironing. The one that proved most satisfactory was a duiu in. fold-uo. wall board with only one slanting support, allowing ample knee room. The other was a folding portable board which Jiad a straight ' leg" un der its wide end and a second FOR EXPERT Paper Hanging SEE JIM , EDEN DIAL 4264 CKDfB over-running clutch he desires.

Though the adjustable office chair on casters proved ideal for ironing, specialists realize that it would be expensive for many families. So they remodeled plain kitchen and dining room chairs for ironing use by cut ting down legs to a convenient height for the worker, padding seat and back for support and comfort, and adding casters. As for the iron, the tests showed that the newer light weight irons (about 3 to 3 34 pounds) were best for seated ironing. They also showed the advantage of a low handle, easy to hold, a tapered - end to fit into gathers, a beveled or slant ing edge to go around buttons and other fastening. An iron with a large sole plate had the advantage of covering a larger area, thus saving time and motions. The cord of the iron, they found, should come down from above for efficient use of the iron.

Tips on Soybean Planting Here are some tips on sovbean planting from University of Ne braska agronomists: Its time to start preparing your land n you intend to grow soybeans. Kill as many weeds as possible before planting. Weeds are one of the soybean crop's biggest enemies. You should be careful in the selection of a field for growing soybeans. Since they leave the soil in a loose, mellow condition, soybeans grown on sloping land or on level land which is subject to blowing might cause a lot of wind or water erosion. Level fields which have grown a crop of soybeans may be plant ed to wheat or rye or covered well with manure to prevent erosion. University agronomists have grown soybeans success fully without erosion on steep land by using stubble mulch farming. By this method, they say, there was no more erosion on the steep slope than on level land. Soybeans, if properly in noculated, increase the available nitrogen in the soil. Grain crops, following soybeans may be ex pected to give higher yields than if the preceding crops were not legumes. Soybeans can't be con sidered a substitute for clover or THOMAS WALLING CO.
