He says corn cribs are full of Ujifem. They are in the cobs and w* gone along the cob a*id cut the kernels off, making much of taa snctled corn we had this fall. <Clean plowing and controlled planting date are very cheap to^hods of control. In view of the f«jt that there are so many in the crjh>8, cleaa plowing is not going f9£be 100 percent effective, so later planting will have to be relied on. t>«r plan from this office will be to, plead for and demand; 1, th£t all corn stalks be plowed under clean by using the jointers you h«Ve with your plow and which arjfe now hanging up in the machine shed, and by double discing before hand; 2, that no corn be plapted before a certain set date determined by the state entomolit as being safe. These new stalk cutters and pulverisers sure are taking a beatfronr the standpoint of corn borer control, according to H. B. Patty, entomologist for the state natural history survey. They have found that they are about as effective as a double disc. Art Lauterbach, manager of Ptire Milk Association, says he is ariad farmers can't he trusted th the Brannon Plan.

Under certain conditions, civilians may get two dollars a day tor each day of their interment. Service officers of (he Illiuois Veterans Commission have been instructed On the procedure for handling the applications and are ready to assist veterans or others in applying. CLEANLINESS v When one thinks of soap, the thought of cleanliness is autoakin BENEFITS FOR WAR PRISONERS MAY BE CLAIMED UNTIL '51 Veterans who were prisoners of war can now rile for benefits under the "FederaT War Ulalms~~Act of 1948, the Illinois Veterans Commission has announced. Application forms have been distributed to IVC offices and are available to civilian internee at well as veterans. All claims must be filed with the War Claims Commission before March 1, 1951. Onlyclaims filed on official fQ££f>s will be considered. ^ Those eligible for benefits include military personnel who were prisoners of war in any theatre in World War II. Certain American civilians who were interned by tlie Japanese in the Philippines, Midway, Guam. Wake Island or any territory or possession of the United States attacked or invaded by the Japs on or after Dec. 7, 1941 are also eligible^ Survivors may be eligible for the benefit in case of death of a prisoner of war or civilian internee. Former prisoners may- receive matic, and yet there are some persons who, because of individual sensitivity, cannot use soap and depend on a soap substitute, the educational committee of tfae Illinois State Medical Society states. History has it that soap was discovered quite by accident. In ancient days the Romans sacrificed animals on top of Mount Sapo and animal fats mixed with the ashes were swept down the hill into the river below, their clothes were more easily washed clean in the river. Subsequent investigation proved that fat plus an alkline . ash formed something that lathered and made washing easier. Thus- the name saponis, named for the hill, and what we call soap. Soap as it is made, todav is still the combination of fats and oils and alkali. Soap must dissolve in water before it can lather, and when dissolved reverts partly back to the original form of fat a-nd alkali. Superfatted or cold cream soaps contain an rctra amount of fat which ma; make the soap somewhat less irritating. But these, too, contain a certain amount of alkali which it released when the soap 1b used. An oily skin may need cleansing with ordinary toilet soap several times a day, while a very dry skin, particularly on hands which have been irritated by strong soaps, may not be able to tolerate soap at all for a time. For the persbn with dry fckin, frequent use of cold cream, and complete avoidance of all soap and water, may be beneficial. It may be necessary to use what i*~ called a soap substitute.- - Actually thecie substitutes are chemical compounds which clean effectively, lather well, and do not have an alkaline action, which is the trouble maker for certain skins. However, they are all powerful detergents and thii point must be remembered when using thein. They may cause trouble as readily assoap. The need for body cleanliness cannot be over emphasised a"ad there is no reason why, no matter what degree of sensitivity to certain products, that a substitute cannot be found to help the cleansing process of the daily bath. The body is constantly exuding oils and secretions which, if ig nored, will create unpleasant odors. This is• particularly true of perspiration in the arsa of the armpits. Since frequent bathing mav not be sufficient to cope with excessive perspiration, a deodor ant is not harmful, provided that the individual is not allergic to the specific product. Promiscuous use over the chest and back is not advised, however, since sweating is an important mechanism in . regulatingKbody heat. Daily Habits of cleanliness should be included tn everybody's kit of common sense. Attention to good grooming embraces such things as a clean body, clean hair, and the areas beneath the nails on the hands and feet, clean teeth and clean clothes. Watching these details will keep you fresh looking and free of the odors so often encountered in contact, whether It be in the office, the school room or the home.
