CHICAGO TXLSPHOM NUMBERS MODERNISED; WILL AID EFFICIENCY Do yon telephone Chicago frequently ? " --- If you do, G. L. Wilburn, telephone manager hAe, offered a suggestion last week, that will save you time on Chicago calls effective last ; Saturday, Sept. 18. That was the I day, he said, when all telephone numbers in Chicago, Evariston and Winnetka were modernized to the j "two-letter and new figure" type of | exchange name. | Suppose, for example, you want i to call a Sunnyside number. Now, | Wilburn explained, that cexhange name will be Sunnyside 4. The new figure 4 will have been added to this particular exchange name. Juniper becomes Juniper 8. State changes to State 1 or State 2. Columbus to Columbus 1. And so on. So, if you're calling Sunnyside 1234, here's all Wilburn suggests youj have to do: Call the local operator: in the usual way and say, Sunnyside 4 (pause) one two three four.'"| "It's simple," Wilburn commented.! "You just include a new figure after! the particular exchange name, and the rest of the number stays the same. If a caller follows this suggestion he'll save himself time and possible wrong numbers. The changes*'will help provide telephone1 numbers needed for expansion and permit future service improvements." ( An official guide showing the figure to be added to each telephone exchange name in Chicago, Evanston' and Winnetka may be obtained ' by calling the company's business office at McHenry 9981.

This is shown in a department of agriculture study of farms by total value of production. The survey breaks down farms into seven broad classifications, running from largescale operations such as cattle ranches or big mechanised grain farms down to groups classed as nominal units representing mostly residential homes or places where elderly farmers have retired. The figures are based on the 1945 census of agriculture. The study shows that approximately 1.7 million. farms, representing 29 per cent of the total number of farms, turned out 76 per cent of the gross value of farm production in 1945. This means that 4.2 million fiurms contributed only 24 per cent of the gross value of fjfirm production In that year. Products raised and consumed on the farm are not included. The group that made the biggest single contribution to supplying food and fiber for the nation and to help feed a hungry world since the war Is the medium family farms. There were approximately 1.2 million of these in 1945 with a population of around 5% million, or nearly a fifth of the total farm population. They raised 30 per cent of the total gross value of farm production.

"Eat fish and grow smart" is an i old, old saying, but scientists -spy that it's all he bunk. Tha Ohio division of'j conservation say3: "Science does not recognize any one food as more boneficial to the brain than another. What food is good for the whole body is also good for the brain. Fish meat is considered rich in phosphorous and a German scientist of the nineteenth ccntury started the Idea, 'No phospharus, no thought.* As a matter of fact, the human brain attains almost its full adult size during the first six years of a child's life and during the time when its chief article of diet is milk. The flesh of fish is lighter and more easily digested than mo3t of the flesh meats and therefore it is a suitable and desirable food for so-called brain workers or persons engaged, in Occupations involving little physical exertion and much mental labor." Early American Gangster A noted thief and daring burglar, Sile Doty not only led a gang of counterfeiters, horse thieves and burglars of the New England, Middle and Western states but also was the terror of Mexico during 1849. Doty was an expert mechanic and tool maker who would make handcuffs, sell them to a sheriff and then keep a duplicate key in the sole of his shoe. Fighting in the Mexican war, he stole a blooded charger from one of the grandees south a. th£ Rio Grande and presented it to Gen. Winfield Scott. Check Pastures, Haylands, | For Ferns, Farmers Urged I Livestock raisers are warned of the , danger of fern poisoning if pastures I become scanty as a result of hot, dry i weather. j The warning, by American Veterin- J ary Medical association, declared: "Dairy cows are likely to eat danger- | ous quantities of ferns when good j grass becomes scarce as a result of ! over-grazing or unfavorable weather. An animal stricken with fern poisoning may become suddenly and acutely ill and die within one to three days. Or the condition may come on more slowly, starting with a loss of appetite and a slight nosebleed. These cases linger on for five or 10 days', but practically all are fatal." To guard against such losses, farmers are urged to check their pastures and hay lands for the presence of heavy growths of fern. I If a case of fern poisoning is suspected, the herd should be moved to new forage immediately, pending the results of a 'diagnrs's to determine whether this or some infectious disease is the real cause of trouble.

Remedy for C-rrott Yellows If carrot to»» have many small 73UT": leaves which appear to be undersized and nre yellowish or reddish in color it is prnbablv due tJp a disease known as "carrot yellows." Carrot yellows, explains A. A. Granovsky, nrofes-or of entomology at University of Minnesota, is a virus disease transmitted by a species of leafhopper which spends the winter in weeds and in spring and summer moves to carrots. In addition to bu3hy, yellowish tops, carrot yellows show up in wooly, undersized roots. Tellows- infected carrots are hard and have an off-flavor characterized as a bitter taste with an astringent effect which clings to the mouth for some time. Best way to prevent carrot yellows and to control leafhoppers is to dust carrots with a 5 per cent DDT or spray with DDT, using one or two teaspoon fuls of 50 per cent DDT wettable powder. -JUST ARRIVEDA now shipment of -SILVERWARE iias just been received at our jewel- 1 y store and is ready for your inspection.

The bureau of j animal husbandry maintains a strict quarantine against all livestock and meat products from Mexico. It also it> cooperating with Mexican authorities In efforts to stamp out the disease in that country. Carefully selected range" riders and inspectors, traveling by horse or truck, patrol the border to prevent importation of livestock into this country. When Mexican livestock cross the Rio Grande and come out on American soil, the patrolmen promptly seize and destroy the animals. Fcnces have been built along some stretches of the river by private interests to prevent stock from entering this country. Sometimes attempts are made to smuggle animals and meat across the border, and the patrol seises and destroys the animals or meat. Not only is the border patrolled by men in motor vehicles or on horses, but nlrra airplanes are us;d to inspect the border area. When an aerial observer detects a livestock movement or other signs on the Mexican side of the border that bear watching, he quickly notifies the ground patrol. - - rK' Famous Irish Castle Near Limerick, Ireland, la the famed Cratloe castle, once the headquarters of Brian Boru, the warrior king who united Ireland in the 11th century, during his battles with the Danes.
