Run the engine as little as possible inside a garage or building. and then only when all doors are open. %. Make sure that fresh air is always circulating in the car. 3. Periodically have the exhau3t system, car floor, heater system and seal between engine and body inspected for leaks. 4. Never operate the engine to keep warm when stalled in snow. Gas can form in snow pockets and seep into the car's body. DRIVING HAZARD The driver's brain requires three-quarters of a second to telegraph necessary action to his muscles, studies reveal. Traveling at about 20 miles an hour, this reaction" time covers 22 feet in the danger zone ahead before the driver can move his foot from kccelerator to brake pedal. At 60 miles an hour, this period of absolute helplessness eats up 66 feet of roadway. Even at 20 m.p.h. in residential zones a driver would have almist no chance to avoid a child darting out from behind a parked car two carle lgths ahead.

Sunday visitors in the home of Mike Huff were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Huff and family of Chicago and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Smith of Kenosha. ly read in this column about a survey of artificial breading troubles in this area, which he was supposed to have made. It is said he found six farni3 in the same community where poor conception a t e was e x p e r i e n c e d and on f u r ther inquiry he found all six of the Yarms owned by the same landlord, a man who did not believe in putting on mineral fertilizers. Karl says he didn't make any such survey or any such btatements and is curious about who did. I am too, now, because it followed in my little pocket notebook the story he gave me about his survey on the rihmber of bull calves compared to heifer calves dropped from artificial Insemination, but no name was jotted down as to who said it. Sorry Karl, but somebody said it and I want to giyt credit where it is due. John Slavin of the County Production and Marketing Administration (AAA) says fanners didn't use up near all the money alioted for payment for establishment of sod waterways in 1949. This prectice should be studied very carefully by every farmer, especially after this winter tfhen so much serious gully erosion took place. Yau can sure go out this spring and see where you need grass waterways. This practice involves the plowing discing, leveling or otherwise preparing a seedbed aad the fertilizing and seeding of perennial grasses and legumes to establish a sod.

In addition, 70 per cent of the coat of moving earth will be paid but not to exceed twelve cents per cubic yard of earth moved. Another practice which is sometimes misinterpreted is renovating permanent pastures., This means tearing up, testing, fertilising, seeding to perennial grasses and legumes, clipping weeds and controlled grazing of now permanent pastures, and not taking crop land out of production and seeding to permanent pasture.

Despite these efforts, curtailment of coal mining to three days a week and the several cessations of work have reduced our fuel storage supply from 80 days on July 1, 1949, to 21 days on Monday, February 20. Although all our electric generating stations ate equipped to burn natural gas or oil in substitution for coal, the quantity of these fuels available in wintertime is limited. During recent months, all of these fuels that we could obtain have been used. Numerous conferences on this, critical situation have been lield with the Illinois Commerce Commission. Following a final - review and hearing, the Commission ordered restrictions on the use of electricity. v These restrictions are necessary to prolong electric service fir public btalth and utftty and protean* of property.

"White these restrictions require s reduction in use of at bast 25%, mil customers are urged to reduce their use of electricity in every possible way, such as by elimination of dispensable window, display, sign and marquee lighting, The urgency and serious nature of the present emergency require that there be no unnecessary or improvident uses of electric energy.

Experience has proved^ however, that in many cases such specific prohibitions cau|f difficulties to customers, utilities and the Commission out M proportion to the fuel savings thereby realised. ... "It will be noted that the restrictions apply to residential customers as well as to other classes of customers. Residential customers are included because the Commission is of the opinion that all customers should assume an equal degree of responsibility for the conservation of the rapidly diminishing coal supply. "The Commission, however, realizes that the electric utilities might experience great difficulty if they were to anempt *o force compliance by the hundreds of thousands of individual .residential customers, and also that theS customers may be unable to determine whether they hav/reduced their use of electricity by the required percentage.
