STOPPERS URGED
FOR 40-YEAR-OLDS
Are there forty or more candles
on your birthday cake? Then it’s
time for you to stop many of your
old habfts. That is the advice of Dr.
George Lawton,' geriatrics expert,
in the April Journal of Living.
First of all, says Dr. Lawton, stop
postponing things. Procrastination
is a luxury for young folks. When
you reach 40, you should either try
earnestly to get what you want, or
to want what you already have.
Because you are in the middle of
life, you can no longer be prodigal
with time. Whatever your problems
are, you must come to grips with
them.
Stop depending upon muscle.
Most physical abilities reach their
peak in the mid-twenties. Mental
abilities may never decline, and
some may even improve. At 40, start
cultivating the abilities that will
stay with you by seeking the ex
periences and pleasures of the mind.
Stop living only for your children.
Don’t let yourself be so closely tied
to them that neither of you can live
independently. Making your chil
dren the receptacle for your unfin
ished dreams is unfair to both of
you. At 40, start actively to finish
your own dreams, or drop them for
something else.
Stop living only for your job. No
man should be indispensable to any
job, and no job indespensable to any
man. American men, particularly,
are apt to underrate the importance
of love and to overrate the import
ance of work.
If the years ahead are to be as
fruitful as they should, points out
the Journal of Living article, 40 is
the time to start many new ways of
life—and stop the old ones. “Tomor
row is never,” declares Dr. Lawton.
“For 40-year-olds, the time is now.”
Water spots may leave a “ring”
by dissolving the finish in silks and
rayons, shrink places so that they
look different from the rest of the
fabric or remove the sheen of the
fabric, leaving dull spots.

Wisconsin Grower
Wins Barley Test
Contest Conducted
In Seven-State Area
Vernon H. Moore, of Rock coun
ty, Wisconsin, was named winner of
the 1948 malting barley contest con
ducted in seven midwest states by
the Midwest Barley Improvement
Association.
As an award for his accomplish
ment, Moore received SI,OOO in cash,
a handsome trophy, and a special
ribbon of honor, as well as an all
expense trip to Minneapolis.

ton, Wisconsiif, winner of the 1948
malting barley contest conducted
in seven midwest states by the
Midwest Barley Improvement
Association, receives his awards
from Herbert H. Ladish, treas
urer of the association, in cere
monies held in Minneapolis.
In addition to the regional award,
Moore received the first Wisconsin
state prize of SSOO, a county prize
of $25, and state and county tro
phies. In the final judging, Moore’s
Barley completed with samples from
more than 125 carloads of the grain
grown by contestants in the seven
state area. The prize-winning barley
was of the Kindred variety, and was
grown on 50 acres of Moore’s 186
acre farm.
The prize-winning barley was se
lected by a committee of judges
which included representatives of
the U. S. department of agriculture.
Each farmer taking part in the
competition was required to enter
a full carload of barley, or to join
with not more than four other bar
ley growers in making up a carload
shipment. Only varieties of barley
arpproved for malting purposes in
each of the seven states was ac
cepted in the competition. Samples
from contest cars were used as the
basis for judging the grain.
Sons or daughters of cash prize
winners who assisted in growing the
crop and who were between the
ages of 12 and 21, received special
farm youth award prizes equal to
10 per cent of the cash prizes -won
bv the parent.

Glass Blocks Offer
Builder Advantages
Use Features Practical
Feeder Barn Planning
This practical feeder barn, shown
below, not only offers good venti
lation, freedom from drafts, and
abundant daylight, but is designed
to cut maintenance costs as well.
Developed principally for dairy
stock, it has a labor-saving floor
arrangement with a feed room and
silo convenient to the feeding alleys.
Doors at either end provide venti-

medium size farm operations.
lation through the litter alley to re
move odors. Ample roof vents dis
perse summer heat, aid the. circu
lation of air in winter as do louvres
under the peak of the gabls.
Control over ventilation has been
carefully planned to eliminate
creeping drafts. Sliding doors in
sure f. tight closure and the gen
erous use of glass block panels
minimizes drafts usually encoun
tered with conventional windows.
Those panels are fitted with hinged
sashes which are easily swung for
ventilation. The glass blocks trans
mit an abundance of daylight. Even
on cloudy days the barn is bright
and cheerful.
Asa barn material, glass block
offers many advantages. Of hollow
construction with a partial vacuum
inside, the block has a high in
sulation factor which can help main
tain heat of the barn in winter. This
insulation value minimizes cold
down drafts. Condensation and
frosting are practically eliminated.
An all-important advantage in
these days of high costs is the per
manency of glass block panels. Set
in mortar, the glass is impervious
to weather and humidity, is un
harmed by chemical disinfectants
often required to maintain dairy
sanitation. An occasional washdown
with a hose is all that is required
to keep the panel surfaces spark
ling clean. Painting is never re
quired.
Maintenance is also reduced by
the liberal use of other long-wearing
materials. Walls are of cinder or
concrete block, the floor of poured
concrete, and the roof of either a
good grade of galvanized steel sheet
or aluminum.
The floor plan has been developed
for efficiency and functional use of
space.
Know Your Pesticides ,
As every county agent will point
out, it is profitable to the farmer
to know how to choose and use
pesticides properly.
There are many well known and
many relatively new chemicals for
controlling pests. Their strong
points and their weak points should
be compared before making a
choice.
“It is important,” the agents em
phasize, “to be familiar with your
pest problems and to recognize and
follow reliable recommendations
rather than mere reports and sug
gestions of untrained persons.
“Study the problems that may
follow use of certain materials, such
as residues and off-flavors. Consider
timing of applications, dosages,
methods of removing residues, etc.,
as a means of overcoming sec
ondary problems. Be sure products
you buy comply with all regula
tions.
“Accuracy of dosage is one of the
fundamentals in the use of medern
chemicals. Read labels and ac
companying directions carefully.

Check Fire Equipment, •
Fanners Are Advised
Farmers are urged by county
agents to check fire extinguishers
to be certain they are approved.
These warnings are based on re
ports from Fire Protection Insti
tute, a national fire safety organi
zation, that many “unapproved"
extinguishers have been made
available during the past few years.
It was pointed out that an unde
poaSable extinguisher is about as
useful as a counterfeit dollar.
Explosive Mines
Sfil! Jeopardize
World Shipping
NEW YORK.—Despite the mine
sweeping efforts of the navies of
many countries since the end of
World War 11, the world’s seaways
are still not free from the danger
of mines.
More than 200 ships have been
sunk or damaged by mines since
the war’s end.
The United States navy says no
guarantee can be given that even
after all the sweepers have been
called home, a mine will not pop
up occasionally in the next 20
years. A World War I mine was
discovered last July off Cape May,
N. J.
The worst mine disaster since
World War II was the recent sink
ing of the Danish steamer Koben
haven. The small coastal excursion
vessel blew up in the Kattegat with
a reported loss of 200 lives.
Many Ships Lost
Figures released by a New York
risk insurance authority show that
251 ships of all nationalities have
struck mines since V-E day in the
Atlantic and Mediterranean, and
since V-J day in the Pacific. Of
this total, 116 were either sunk or
declared a total loss.
Although the danger from mines
has not yet been eliminated, it has
been reduced immeasurably by a
two-pronged international effort.
First, all navies with minesweep
ing facilities launched a coordinat
ed program of mine clearance.
This began with the establishment
and maintenance of swept chan
nels to permit resumption of es
sential traffic. Later, known mine
fields were swept.
The second phase of the program
was the setting up of a system to
enable shipmasters to pass safely
through areas mined during the
war.
In the Pacific the United States
hydrographic office branch at Hon
olulu was designated as the agency
to collect and disseminate all mine
information. This data is circulat
ed in a series of radio messages
called “hydropacs” (Hydrographic
information Pacific).
Interested governments were
asked to forward information to
Honolulu. These radio dispatches
are given wide distribution
throughout the area and are then
issued in booklet form for the use
of shipmasers.
In the Atlantic the main problem
was centered in European waters.
An international committee was
set up in London known as the In
ternational Routing and Reporting
Authority (IRRA). This body op
erates in much the same manner
as the United States hydrographic
office in the Pacific.
Lights Lure Pests to Trap,
Help Them Commit Suicide
WOOSTER, OHIO.—One of these
days, bugs that cause so much
wreckage among crops may be
obliging American farmers by sim
ply committing suicide.
It’s done with ordinary electric
light bulbs, researchers at the Woo
ster experiment station said. The
station has been working on them
for ten years.
“Everyone who has ever tried to
sit on an unscreened porch in the
summertime knows that the porch
lights will attract a bothersome
gang of insects,” said C. R. Neis
wander, station entymologist. “We
have put that knowledge to practi
cal use in constructing a light trap.
“The lamp is placed in a dome
with a funnel leading to a mason jar
screwed on the bottom. The insects
hit the lamp or the side of the dome,
fall into the funnel and on into the
trap.”
What Neiswander likes about the
light treatment is that it gets to
bugs that have been showing an an
noying immunity to poison sprays.
Here is one result:
The May beetle. This bug is the
parent of the white grub that feeds
on plant roots. During the flying
season as few as 12 to 15 traps have
caught 20,000 beetles. No daddy bee
tles —no baby grubs.
Lumberjack Claims Eating
Championship of U. S. Army
FT. MONMOUTH, N. J.—Ft. Mon
mouth claimed the eating champion
ship of the U. S. army—it said it
had a private who “thinks nothing
of a breakfast of three dozen eggs,
four to five grapefruit, a pound of
bacon, a pitcher of coffee or a half
gallon of milk.”
The post public information office
identified the man as Pvt. George
Newhall, 22-year-old ex-lumberjack
from Marquette, Mich. The an
nouncement said Newhall had gained
30 pounds since he joined the army
in 1944. .
Newhall, 6 feet tall and weighing
223 pounds, takes his place regular
ly at the end of the mess line, the
PIO announced, and cleans up any
thing remaining in the kitchen “aft
er all his buddies have been served.”
His dinner diet at one recent sit
ting, the announcement said, con
sisted of "a five-pound meat loaf,
a head of lettuce, creamed chicken
and rice on the side, two ears of
corn and a whole pie."
Newhall was describe 1 in the an
nouncement as the wholesome, out
doors type. ...
