Is the tCfrtet answer to the bedbug jttoblem, says the department of agriculture. If DDT is allied properly "«a a 8 per cent spray or a 10 par cent powder to mattresses, beds and chicken houses, these places pill be free from bedbugs for six months or more. When a S per cent DOT solution-- seven ounces of technical grade DDT and one gallon oi kerosenela used, about three liquid ounces of the spray will treat a full-sized bad. The material should be applied to the mattress, pillows, springs and Joints in the bed frame. It's important to force the spray into each Joint of the bed and lightly treat' both sides of the mattress. After the bed has dried a few hours, it can be used without fear of injury to the occupant. One and one-half ounces of 10 per cent DDT powder is enough to treat • full-sized bed. It isn't necessary to treat the walls, because the bedbugs are killed when they come to the bed for meals of blood. It is advisable, USDA entomologists say, If wear a. mask in applying.

Farm Income litieth Century Fund findings that although farmers make up about 23 per cent of our population, they received as net income from agriculture only 7.3 per cent of our national income in 1939, and only 9.5 per cent in 1942. Fortyseven per cent of all farm families had cash incomes of less than $750 in 1941. The average monthly wages (with board) of farm workers were approximately (23 in 1913, $52 in 1920, $18 in 1933, $27 in 1939 and $81 in 1941. « 4HH.X»W 11*4 M » 111 111* ' Culled Chickens Are Best Roasted, Fricasseed A culled bird makes just as good eating as any bird in the flock, but, because of its age, fricasseeing and roasting are recommended methods of preparation and^f thft^bird is very old, stewing wilr^bebest, say home demonstration agents. Qhickens from 4 to 7 months old with a thick pad of fat on the back and a plump well rounded' breast are excellent for roasting. After the chicken is dressed, stuffed and trussed, place it breast down on a rack in a shallow pan to which no water has been added. This position keeps the breast meat juicy. Brush the skin of the bird with melted fat. With slow roasting (325 degrees F.) it will not be necessary to cover the pan. Turn the fowl during the latter part of roasting for uniform browning. The bird is done when the flesh is slightly "Shrunken away from the skin and the thick part of the breast and thighs feel .tender. Chickens too old for frying and too lean for roasting, but not quite in the stewing class, may be fricasseed. This method is a combination of browning, steaming and stewing which results in meat that is tender, juicy and well flavored. Smothefed and braised chicken are prepared by methods similar to fricasseed. spi Haute,a Ind. Miss Pamela Drucker of Chicago spent the past week visiting in the Alex Drucker home.

Inert aged Vmt Bmnefitp Veterans' Service Bureau's Washington office has been flooded with requests for information concerning the new laws just signed by the President providing fpr terminal leave pay for enlisted men, increased pensions fop veterans of both World War I and II and automobiles for amputees. Next week a full column will be used for explanation of the machinery set up by the armyt navy and coast guard for payment of terminal leave to some 15,000,090 members of the armed services. Be sure and watch this newspaper for next weekV explanation. For those who have inquirer, about increase in pensions and automobiles for amputees, machinery for which is handled by the Veterans' administration, here are the facts: Approximately 2,000,000 veterans of both world wars and about 400, 000 dependents are affected by th? 20 per cent increase which au'hor • izes the payment of full pensioi' or compensation to veterans whare hospitalized or domiciled it. veterans' institutions. Heretoforthose veterans were limited to $2ft of their full monthly payments, and in certain cases to $8. The new regulations do not affect the SI ,500 accumulations now permitted for veterans declared mentally incompetent. The Veterans' administration estimates cost of,the new legislation will be approximately $298,- 500,000 for the first year. Increases are effective as of September lt but inasmuch as the monthly benefit payments are not to be paid in advance, the increased rates will not be reflected in any payments made before October 1, 1948. Here's the way it works. Suppose' a veteran in a hospital obtains a pension *bf $60 per month. Heretofore he has been able to draw only $20 per month while he is in the hospital and in some instances as low as $8. Now He will get the full $60. However, if he is in the hospital for more than six months, .he cannot draw more than $30 per month beyond the six-month period, but when he is discharged from treatment or care, he will receive a lump sum equal to th? amount which was withheld after the six-month period. If treatment or care is terminated by the veteran without approval of the VA then any amount withheld will not be-paid until six months afterwards. If he is again admitted to a VA hospital, the re duction will be effective the date of readmission, but payments withheld will be paid when he is prop erly discharged. In event a veteran dies, whib he is receiving treatment or care any amount due him will be paid; to his dependents. VA points out that this 20 per cent increase does not affect retirement pay and itdoes not apply to subsistence al|l lowances payable under Publi* Laws Nos. 16 and 346. The Veterans' administration is urging veterans to take no action by making applications, writing letters or making other inquiries^ since these will only place an additional burden on the claims serv» ice and hinder administration. They point out that the law requires no action^ it is automatic and all veterans entitled to the increase will receive their increased payments in the October 1 monthly payments. As for autos for leg amputees^ the sum of $30,000,000 haa been approved to buy automobiles for those veterans entitled to compensation for loss, or loss of use, of one or both legs, at or above the ankle, The cost of each\automobile is lirrv ited to $1J00 including special equipment attachments necessaxy to enXMe the veteran to oper. ate the caif. The law places upon the Veteran#* administration the responsibility for determining that the veteran will be able to operate the car safely and that he will be licensed to operate it. Gen. Omar Bradley stated that complete detaila tor machinery of the car purchase plan have not been completed. Applications will be made by the veteran to the nearest VA office.
