Empty drain water from tin cans, tires, holes in trees, rain gutters, stagnant, pools and swampy places. Swmming pools and bird baths should be washed and water changed at least every 6 days. Mosquito larvae can be kill ed in large pools of water by using pyrethrum oil. This chem ical does not endanger the lish or other animals. Use a solution not to exceed 1 ounce of spray per 100 square feet of water sur face. Adult mosquitoes can be par tially controlled inside buildings by using an aerosol bomb or household spray. Best results are obtained by closing all doors and windows and releasing the aerosol for a few seconds. Py rethrins or pyrethrins with meth oxychlor are the best chemicals to look for in aerosol bombs. Use a 5 per cent DDT spray on trees, shrubs and around foundations of buildings. Mix 2 1 a cups of 50 per cent wettable DDT powder to one gallon of water. During perod.s of heavy infes tations, community programs are essential, Roselle said. Most insecticides are poison ous and must be handled with care. Be careful when using them and always store them in a safe place, Roselle advised. INDUSTRY SPENDING Industry spending for factor ies, office buildings, equipment and other production facilities is expected to be 9 per cent higher in the first nine months of this year than in the same period of 11)56.

Kinie uery LINCOLN-Should calves be drenched with rumen contents from an adult cow to help them digest roughage? This question has come up since calves often are separat ed from the herd shortly after birth and raised apart lrom their dams, according to riiilip Cole, extension dairy specialist at the University of Nebraska. The organisms that a cow nor mally need to break down rough age ordinarily are passed along to the young through normal herd contacts, Cole said. Some cattlemen have felt that USING TOO LITTLE MILK Since using too little milk is' a leading weakness in this coun-j try's diets as a whole, special usefulness is foreseen for a new : booklet on milk. j The new booklet gives recipes1 for use of milk in many forms, i from soups and main dishes to j desserts.

Research at the U. S. De partment of Agriculture's Belts ville, Md., reseach center indi cates that calves thrive just as well when they are raised apait from the herd. At Belts ville, isolated calves ate just as much roughage and apparently digested ii just as well as calves raised with their dams. Calves isolated in this limited study showed no noticeable difference lrom unre stricted ones in rate of growth, appearance, or in amount ot feed used per pound of added weight. Rigidly isolated calves did not develop the ordinary rumen or ganisms to the degree that they are lound in animals left witn the herd, and some organisms were not present at ail. They, developed other organisms, how-i ever, that seemed to be equal ly effective. When the calves; were put with the herd later on, the normal rumen organisms quickly developed. j Oil S .... ; HERE IS THE FINEST SELECTION OF FACTORY REBUILT TYPEWRITERS EVER IN PLATTSMOUTH EVERY MACHINE GUARANTEED FOR 6 MONTHS REMINGTON UNDERWOOD SEVERAL LATE MODLES L.

Clean bins thoroughly and remove all traces of old grain with a vacuum cleaner. 2. Remove all spilled grain and feed from the vicinity of the bin. 3. Clean tne entire area a round the bin. Kill the weeds and remove all boards or junk from the area. 4. Remove double walls if pos sible; if not, clean between walls by removing the lower boards, then force a spray be tween the walls. 5.
