Nineteen Threes Recommend ed by Specialist for the North Carolina State Co|l<*«.--WNU Service. , „ ^ pond of water, adding beauty c to the landscape and providing a of profitt and pleasure, is valuable asset to almost any farm. Nestled In f email hollow by a woodland, a pond may be made one of the ihost attractive places on the farm. ft the pond H ktrge enough, part of It may be used for boating and .swimming. The overtVwv may be utilized to develop water power. Well stocked with fish, the should supply the fans home a good meat supply the year around. Often the water plants may be gathered and sold to local flsh and pet •tores or for planting and aquaria. Under ideal condition*, should produce as many poumti of fish per acre as a pasture will pro- ' duce pounds of beef. Although a water area cannot be "farmed" on as scientific.a basis as land, due to the inadequacy of Information now available regarding the care of fish and popds, it can be made to produce a good supply of vegetation and fish. Where fish are raised, the water should be kept at a fairly constant level, and there should be shallow places where the smaller fish can feed and breed. Aquatic plants in the <»halows give addition*) food and protection to the young fish, Whltfc^rd stated. ' Improved Rules Outlined,, for Measuring Hay Stack New rules for measuring 8tanked hay. more accurate than those used In the past, have recently been worked out hy the experiment stations In some states, co-operating with the United States Department of Agriculture. L> F. Garey of the division of agricultural ^economics. University farm, St Paul, says these flfe the only rules bnsed on research. Three dimensions of the stack must fee determined In feet; namely, the i length. "L,"; the "width. "W"; and the, over, "O". The over means the distance from the ground on one side. ni-nr »h<> stark flnrt down to the ground -- • - the other aide. The avet-fliie of tor . *1*1 measurement8 should be taken for the over. If the stack is irregular. Knowing the above three measurements in feet, the volume of the stack In cubic feet should be computed according to one of the following methods: v .' Flat-topped stacks (0.56 XO) -- <0.53 XW) X (WXD. High round-topped stacks (0.52x0) -- (0.48XW) X (WXD. Low round-topped stacks (0.52X0) -- (0.44XW) X (WXL). Here Is an example that will make clear the use of the rule: A high roundtopped stack Is 50 feet long, 20 feet wide, and has an over of 45 feet. 0.52 X 45 -- 23.4; 0.4fl X 20 = 9.2; 23.4 -- 9.2 = 14.2; 20 X 50 = 1,000; 14.2 x i.ooo = 14,200 cublr-feet. The number of cubic feet to allow per ton for hay stacked 90 days or more is as follows: alfalfa, 470; wild hay, 450; other hay, 625, If the stack lp ^the example above were alfalfa hay, the 14.200 would be divided by 470, firing the amount as 30.2 tons. Average Farm. By v Specialist. J Service. W1 JCelley, Hortici IMr& i&y of lltino.. --WNU It takes about 19 fruit trees and 382 small fruit plants to supply the average family of six with the fruit It needs. Such a planting would produce, on the average, approximately $0 bushels of fruit. 250 pounds of grapes and 340 quarts of small fruits. 1'he estltaates were prepared as an aid to the mliny farmers who are planning to start small home orchards, to supply fruit for their own families. Liberal allowance was made both for fresh fruit and for canning.

OFF THE RECORD for the average family of six plus occasional hired help Includes six apple trees, three pear trees, three peach trees, three plnm trees, two sour cherry trees and two sweet cherry trees A separate variety should be chosen for each tree so that successive crops will ripen through the fruit season In the small fruits division the est! mated number of plants includes grape vines, 250 strawberry plnn's 40 raspberry bushes. .'50 red raspberry plants. 25 blackberry plants, 10 £<><•««• berry bushes and 12 currant hushes While the number of trees and small, fruit plants may seem sni;ill. li<-n« r and larger crops usually arc j»r<»ihn-»'«! from relatively small orchards herau*- «if the better care these orchards receive. Too large a home orchard en courages neglect . This selection will need to be varied according to local soil and climatic conditions as well as individual pref crences among various families. Con sequently, the prospective home orchardist should consider growing conditions on hfc place before making final choices as to kinds of fruit to he grown. Another factor to be remembered'In planning the home orchard is that fruit trees roust he from three to eight years old before they begin to bear fruit Small fruits come into production so»rr*«r. bearing their first crops in from two to threhears. Accurate Records Kept by Successful Farmers Farmers who do not keep records •"•e unshle to felt *\s~~ stand. Thty SiSy think they are making a profit when, actually, they are losing money, said R. E. JL. Groene, assistant in farm management research for the North Carolina agricultural experiment station. Running a business without records, It has been said, is like running 8 clock without hands. In either case, the thing Is running--but where and how? Farm records are a basis for an Intelligent study of business, they give the information necessary to make an accurate credit statement, they show the results of the year's work, they indicate weak spots which need Improvement. Although records may be started at any time, it Is usually more conv^iient to start them early In the year. At this time feed and crop supplies are low and it Isieasy to take inventory. Also, most farmers are not as busynt this time as they are later on.

But In garden It is desirable to destroy diseased or insert-Infested leaves, 6tems and other plant remains. This is par tlcularly true of rose and hollyhock leaves, and delphinium and chrysanthemum stems, for these are disease carriers. Irises and peonies will be -healthier If the tops are removed and burned during winter. Diseases and Irtsect pests of tomatoes, beans and squashes are carried over on the old plants. Fire will destroy them and the fertility lost can more profitably, be supplied by manure and fertilizer the following year. At least that is what the experts tell us, and practice In our own garden seems to bear them out. Burning Is easier than spraying and. while spraying cannot be entirely dispensed with by this sanitary measure the need for it can be materially reduced.--The Country Home. Johnston. Born in 1791, he had come to America at the age of thirty and bought a farm near Geneva. N. Y., which turned out to be rather poor and wet. Remembering lessons learned from a wise old grandfather, John Johnston sent hack to Scotland In 183o for some open horseshoe tile, with Which he begun drainage experiments As usual with pioneers, the neighbors laughed, hut the experiment worked out so well that by 1856 he had 5(1 miles of tile on his farm. His wheat yields Jumped from 15 tb over 30 bushels to' the acre. In October of lust year, says the Country Home, a group of agricultural engineers gathered .at the old Johnston farmstead, overlooking beautiful Seneca lake, to dedicate a monument to ~lbe memory of J,ohn Johnston and- to celebrate "one of the most sU»l»6toit events In ||! history of Aaicij|Pii agriculture." tFarm Cullings -v^'iii^itable manure should not be applied "to a good kuud of pasture grasses and clover. ..' v-1 On eight out' of every nine farms 't» the United States water Is carried by hand. • * • •„ Approximately a half million calves were marketed in Ohio In 1934 at ah approximate market value of 14^500,- 000.

Without Nerve# Severed Heads of 221. Berlin.---Silently and probably with a shudder In many a tender heart, the word got arOund that August Groepler, executioner, has added notch No. 221 to his ax handle. Jn that gory trade of head chopping, requiring chiefly an Iron nerve and a deft stroke from his half-moon ax the nape of the neck, Groepler Is said never to have missed or bungled, a ain which many of his con-' In other lands are frequently of. Groepler Is rapidly winning recognition as the world's champion executioner, whether he likes It or not " He ia a butcher by profession, but abandoned that humdrum sort of work yeiars ago. But he transferred the accomplishments of his trade to the executioner's block. Those witnesses who have had to act as observers at his executions believe the whole secret of. his. mechanical perfection lies In his cool ability to measure the curve and strength of the condemned man's neck, sight the spot where he intends to strike and then accurately deliver his blow. He has a method Of his own In doing this. As the shaved neck of the condemned is held In position by block straps and adjusted deftly by two assistants, Groepler holds his left hand straight before him and moves It up and down in taking Measure, like ges turlng with a stiff arm. In his right he holds the ax, and squinting with his left eye, strikes a short but quick blow --and all Is over. The job has to be done In evening dress, with white gloves, and In winter the gloomy dawn is rendered eerie by a single electric bulb. Sometimes a woman of man going to the block gets hysterical and shrieks, but on the av erage the Job Is over In a few minutes after the condemned leaves the cell, hears the sentence once more and is bent forward to the block by the two assistants. Groepler, In his fifties, draws a monthly salary of 150 marks from the state of Prussia, and gets another 60 marks ($15) for each execution. It Is forbidden in Germany to photograph hlra.

Ghostly Figure Haunts- Indians in North Wilds Kaskesiu, Sask.--Appearance of a weird hooded figure which stalks and attacks settlers during the night has aroused fears among Indians and superstitious whites that a "Weetigo," mythical Indian devil, again is roam ing this northern country. The legendary evil spirit is described as a ghost-like figure of a man, wearing a sack over the head with slits cut out for eyes. Several settlers and Indians have reported to police that the figure sneaked near their lonely homes and camps In the north area around the National park and frightened them with w#lrd antics. One Indian said the figure stalked out of a bush to his camp, seized a kettle of boiling water and threw It at him, scalding his back. Indians in the district sw$ar the figure is a "Weetigo," an evil spirit with no eyes and no mouth. White set tiers say it Is a "crazy Indian." BATHTUB IS PRIZE IN "STORK DERBY* Rsgnato Clan Will Buy Equipy \ ' meat if They Win. London, Ont.--The Bagnatos, leading contestants today In the Millar "stork derby," may take part of that half million- dollar prize which they expect to win, to buy themselves a half dozen assorted bathtubs. That, they agree, would be the best expenditure they could make if they want to save time. Just now eleven little boys and girls must line up for the bath ritual, take their turn, wash as speedily and as efficiently as possible. And anyone who has waited for the bathroom Saturday night has a small idea what the littlest Bagnato must feel like while" he awaits ten bathing ceremonies. There was a time when Mister and Missus Bagnato had to bathe 23 children. Death removed some of the family, matrimotiy a few others. Eleven remain under the parental roof and the Bagnatos began preparing for another before Christmas months agb. Mrs. Joseph Bagnato, who has had nine children in ten years and there fore Is one of the leaders in the marathon for the estate of eccentric Charles Vance Millar, who left his fortune to be given to the mother having the greatest number of babies in ten years ending in October 1936. She is fortytwo years old. She was thirteen years of age when she said "yes" to Joseph, who claimed hii Ittfde after arrangements were made by the parents of the twp. And If the Bagnatos win the stork derhy there will be a family moving "to some nice quiet place in the conntry" and there'll be bathtubs for those Saturday, rilght routines.

Abraham erected his shrine 4,000 years ago, in modern reckoning. Miss Judith Krause Marquet, a young Jewess, who is conducting research work outside Ramallah with the help of funds furnished by the late Baron Edmond de Rothschild, is responsible for the discovery. She unearthed a complete system orTortifiCations with a massive gate similar to that which " was discovered some time ago in Anatolia, but the new find is some thousand years older.

Eight miles off the Michigan coast in Lake St Clair--connecting lake between Lakes Erie and Huron--a crewless ship performs all the functions of warning mariners of nearby danger. As soon as darkness closes down & warning beacon flares, a radio beacon sends steady calls and fog signals blare warnings during murky weather. In a lighthouse along the coastline the keeper merely presses buttons to work the apparatus. The present ship, In operation for the last six months, will continue as an experiment for another year. The success of its operation probably will decide future policy of the government service to seafarers. Sad but True " Boy--Daddy, what's the nn> written law?

This novel plan to solve the problem of ice jams and flooded lowlinda was discussed Sunday afternoon at a second flood control conference of Valley mayors and village presidents in Aurora. Walter M. Smith, chief engineer of the state division of waterways, aaid that dynamite bombs dropped from soaring airplanes had helped solve the flood control problems on avrenl downstate streams. It is believed that blasting will not be necessary in the Fox river as nature seems to be taking care of the situation which is improved over what it wad a week ago. The only danger would be, in the event of a heavy rain which would lift the ice and break it up in large sections. Mr. Smith informed the mayors that the state was ready to blast-ice jams if necessary. He also indicated that federal authorities would probably assist in the event of an emergency by delegating WPA and transient camp workmen to htaintain *- patrol of the river at danger points. Louis E. Alswede of Chicago, a district engineer for the waterways division, stated that federal engineers were watching the«flood condition in streams throughout the middle west and would assist in the Fox Valley if necessary. Representation of Roekferd and Winnebago county attended meeting to learn the course of acttoh being followed in the Fox Valley on flood control. It is said a serious ice condition prevails in the Rock river. The river level of the Fox is reported receding, easing the possibility of flood conditions.
