Such a shopi should be large enough so that field machinery can be moved inside and also satisfactorily lighted so that emergency repairs can be made at night. Farmers having electricity available will find that use of certain power equipment will speed up their work and save them time, money and energy. Since many cutting tools are used on the faring probably one of the first pieces of power equipment purchased will b* a tool grinder. Other electrical tools found in most farm shops include post and hand drills, wood lathes, rip and band saws, air compressors, battery chargers, paint sprayers and, more recently, transformer- type electric arc welders. ^"There's money tn repairing your own equipment and there's some^ thing else also--most boys are iro terested in the development of farm shops, a factor which Jhould not be overlooked as a means of stimulating their interest in fanning. j Thirsty Crops Teste Thirsty crops will have mora water on soils with plenty of organic matter.

Two of the Morrow plots used for soil fertility research air University of Illinois were com-* pared for organic matter content and their ability to soak up and hold water. . Soil management and crop rotation made the difference between the two. Increasing the organic matter by 20 tons boosted the amount of water the soil would holdK by 200 tons. In addition, tests" showed that water needed only half the time to soak through a thin lay * er of the loose soil rich in organic matter than it needed for the same soil with only 31 tons of organic matter per acre. Using deep-rootad legumes in rotation with lime., phosphorus and potash, as needed for their production, will- put organic matter deep into the soil.

Mdrry Old? When Jeb Crewell's daughter. Sue, married aineteea-year-old "Slim" Blake, a let of folks (especially elder oaes) began to shake their heads. Yoang marriages! Tat, tut! So I looked up some figures. It's ' true, young American girls and boys marry younger than in other countries. And where do you suppose they had the least chance? I won't name it, but maybe you've guessed. One of those countries that before the war suppressed all individual freedom and tolerance. That's why I'm not worried about ear younger awrried couples. They were raised ia a country that respects oae another's right-«-a country ef tolerance and temperaaee (a let ef bridegrooms are ex-GX's, aad It looked to me like their favorite beverage was beer!) From where I sit, it isn't tefon you marry thafs important. It's the all-important spirit of tolerance and understanding that you bring to marriage. t Ballroom On the Lake Front Crystal Lake,~Ifi> tinder New Management LOUIS MIKUTIS , • , V:; -• ' •,ii "i,%» • nwif Music by TOP RAH DUDES_ __ Every Friday Night 9 p. m. - Oenta 75c Ladies 25i' M 16*" 'CrSi Copyright, 1947, United Stole Brtvtrt Fo*niatiam ^ ~ ^ * * ' r ^ « % r v r u n y i . »- s You KNOW this isn't safe... . - w. 1:^- -f t • , - y i # * t * j - And neither is defective wiring!
