Order your Rubber Stamps at The Plaindealer. In order to disprove the common belief that cancer is an incurable disease, Dr. Anna C. Palmer, of Milton, Mass., has organized "The Cured Cancer Club," to publicize the amazing number of cases that have been remedied by medical attention. The American College of Surgeons recently listed 29,195 people who had been cured of cancer. Dr. Palmer, herself a cured-cancer patient, explodes the popular idea that cancer is contagious or painful. In its early stages, it is often painless, and should receive treatment before the painful stage is reached. Medical men say that a majority of cancer cases could be cured if they were treated in time. (Public Ledger--WHU Service.) Chevrolet, which led the industry in sales again in 1940, makes its bid for continued pre-eminence, in 1941, with two series of new cars, in which modern streamline styling, and larger, roomier bodies* combine with numeri ous mechanical improvements to pro- ! duce the finest Chevrolets ever built. The famous Chevrolet vacuum power shift, which created a sensation when introduced in 1939, is standard on all models bf both series, at no extra cost. Bodies are longer, wider, and much more massive looking. Their appearance mass is concentrated near the ground by changes in body and fender contour, as well as by judicious use of decoration and trim. Windshields, rear windows, and upper portion of sides of body are increased in slope, and the tops of side windows are one inch lower than in 1940. The cars' sleek appearance is heightened by the omission of running boards, as well as by the use of concealed hinges on all doors and trunks, the sole exception being the rear deck door hinges of the coupes and cabriolet. Sides of the body extend outward and downward noticeably farther than last year, and the skiri of each door conceals a convenient rubber-ribbed safety step to facilitate entrance and egress, I'he safety and convenon both 1941 series is retained and refiifted at no extra cost. Sport sedan, town sedan, five passenger coupe and business coupe are available in both series. In addition, an improved fivepassenger cabriolet with vacuum-operated top, and a station wagon, are offered in the Special DeLuxe, while two light duty commercial types, the coupe pickup and sedan delivery, ate available in the Master DeLuxe.

Rear seats are lower, a change which not only makes for comfort, but also--by bringing passenger weight nearer the ground--contributes to stability and safety. There is greater room across the seat cushions, and also at elbow and shoulder levels. Footroom is more than ample, as before. Front seats are substantially wider, and are adjustable, and those in two-door models have convenient divided-type backs. Headlining and body inside lining are identical on both series, but upholstery material differs between the Special DeLuxe and Master DeLuxe.

On the Special DeLuxe, the basic color is beige with a contrast of wood-grain design, and this is set off attractively by means of bright metal trim. The instrument cluster, including oil gauge, gasoline gauge, ammeter, and engine heat indicator, is at the extreme left. The large circular speedometer dial is adjacent, directly in front of the driver. The center space on the dash is fitted with a grille for radio installation, and above, on the Special DeLuxe, is an ash receiver; and below, is an electric cigar lighter. Next to the grille toward the right, and balancing the speedometer, is a clock, and finally, at the extreme right, the roomy glove compartment with locking knob and interior light. The grouping on the Master DeLuxe is similar but the basic color is tan, the clock, lighter, ash receiver and some decorative trim are .omitted, and the glove compartment is not lighted. The indirect illumination of the instrument panel in both series may be dimmed or turned off entirely by iptating the headlamp control knob. ?

TWBNTT YBARS AGO TOPICS ICHVBOH SERVICES SOIL DRAINAGE IMPROVES LAND Eower Water Table Aids Better Root Growth. By H. B. ROE (Pro/watt oi Agricultural Kngiattriag, versify Farm. St. Paul.) Proper soil drainage does not robthe land of needed moisture during times of drouth, but instead it helps plants develop deep roots eaTly in the season thus resulting in? better crop yields. Drouths have been no more severe in this country since drainage programs were started about 1905. In the spring of the year or during periods of excessive rainfall, fields often become saturated with moisture and the water table, or level of "free" water, comes close to the surface. The roots of most cror. plants cannot live long in "free" water and they will not grow down into it, but instead, they 'mature while still very short and shallow and after that practically eea:e isn grow. As a result, when later drspells come along, evaporation takes place, the "free" water surface drops and the topsoil dries out; leaving the shallow rooted plants "high and dry." Poor quality and yields of crops thus result from poor drainage. Tile drainage removes only the excess or free water from the ground, it cannot drain off the capillary moisture that surrounds each grain of soil and is soi necessary for plant growth. When the land is tiledrained, excess water is taken off early in the spring and plants develop normal, vigorous roots that are better able to reach moisture during dry periods. That shortage of soil moisture is not caused by open drainage ditches, is proved by a study made in 1929, with state and federal agencies co-operating. It was found that where ditches average about eight feet deep, with two feet of water in them, no drainage effect was evident beyond 330 feet away from the ditch, and the average lowering of the moisture level by ditches a mile apart was only three inches. This has only a negligible influence. Drainage programs started in Minnesota in 1905 have not been the cause of our recent dry years. During the 20-year period 1882 to 1901, Minnesota enjoyed an average of only one inch more rainfall per year than during the "drouth" period of 1918 to 1937, and going still farther back, the period from 1837 to 1856 was even drier, with an average precipitation nearly two inches below the 1918 to 1937 level. Terraces Can Be Built By Farm Operations Terraces now being built for erosion control on thousands of farms can be successfully maintained without special equipment and without loss of time by planninng farming operations and cropping systems, in the opinion of E. L. Hansen, assistant in agricultural engineering at the University bf Illinois college of agriculture. BuUding up the terrace ridge, rather than tearing it down, is easiest when farming operations are parallel to the terrace. Back furrowing to the ridge when plowing is probably the most effective. Disking also helps when the ridge is not straddled, especially with a single disk, j. Cultivating parallel to the terraces eliminates the possibility of loosening the soil on top of the ridge which may result in over-topping of the terrace during a heavy rain. This often occurs when the direction of cultivation is across the terrace, since the depth is difficult to regulate when crossing. The ridge height may be lowered several inches as a result of one crop of corn. If more maintenance is required, Hansen recommends a few rounds with a blade grader to keep terraces working efficiently.

Grass silage exerts a greater bursting pressure in silos than does normal corn silage, and its juices are more strongly acid, and hence more likely to corrode masonry walls than corn silage.

Where raw gullies are plowed in, it will pay to work them down at once and sow them to grasses or winter barley. With the remainder of the field left rough until wheat sowing time, fall rains will soak into the soil instead of gathering into the old gullies..
