Bird’s Throat Closes Birds have one physical advan tage over human beings because a nervous reaction closes a bird’s throat when it has had enough to cat but a human throat continues to receive food long after the mouth should have been closed. Cat Coincidence For th ■ department of remarkable coincidences: Officer E. K. O’Brien of the police records bureau in Wash ington was scanning the lost-and found column of the newspaper. He found an ad about a missing tomcat named Teddy. O'Brien looked up to see a wcary-looking cat walk into the room. It was Teddy, giving himself up. Mosquito Bit* How does a mosquito bite? First he lights on the victim, places his> mouth, which is a hollow tube about three-eighths of an inch long, on the skin. The stinger, a raspy drill partly covering the outside of the mouth, sinks swiftly, penetrating the i skin. The mosquito starts his feast j of blood. The irritation of a bite j is caused by the moseftuto’s saliva, 1 deposited in the wound to prevent 1 the blood clotting in the insect’s | tiihelike mouth. i I I Champ Leaps Car at Sports Carnival With the greatest of ease, Alfred Orhn, former national j ski champion, startles the queen’s “court” at the great Winter Sports State Park at Grayling, Michigan, by leap ing over a Chevrolet Sedan.

DOW 613 Mulberry St,, Grand Bldg, i MACON, CA. | ALLOW LEGUMES TO MAKE GOOD GROWTH In view of the approaching time to turn under cover crops, County Extension Agent W. T. Middlebrooks this week suggest ed that farmers give considera tion to the amount of growth be ing added to the soil and also jto the crops that follow winter legumes. “Cover crops should be allow ed to make growth sufficient to give maximum soil improvement, yet offer as little hindrance as possible to the crops that are planted after them,” the agent explained. “On the average, 6,000 to 10,- 000 pounds of green weight per acre can be gotten in time to prepare the land for summer crops,” he continued. “This growth contains nitrogen equiva nt to 300 to 500 pounds of ni ate of soda and organic matter ,ual to around two to four tons manure. These amounts will d greatly to the fertility of the soil and to the yield of crops. “Later turning can be prac ticed for such crops as cowpeas, soybeans, or other later-planted crops, than for corn or cotton. However, in any case, the winter legume crops should be turned under in time to decay thorough ly before other crops are planted, this is usually 10 to 20 days af ter the winter legumes have been turned under.” Another good rule, according to Mr. Middlebrooks, is to turn winter legumes at the stage when they can be thoroughly covered Iby the implements available on j the farm. A thorough discing ! before plowing will help greatly jin getting the cover crop incor ! porated in the soil. A farmer I with a one-horse turning plow | will have difficulty covering a 16,000 pound growth, while a fel | low with a two-horse plow can ! easily handle growths of 8,000 to 10,000 pounds per acre, and even [ larger growths, if tractors are available, he added. Have coun ty AAA office check fields before turning to secure credit on 20% requirement and soil building practice payments. The county agent, in summing up suggestions for turning under crons, said let the crop make sufficient growth to do the soil some good and when the crop is turned under, cover the vines completely and allow sufficient time to elapse between turning and planting for the legume crop to decay thoroughly. With good stands, growths of 6 to 10 inches high will usually give sufficient amounts for turning. Late turning, incomplete cov ering, and too early planting of summer crops after turning of I winter legumes are the greatest causes of worm damage and poor stands, the Extension agent stated.
