S. department of agriculture research that has continued since the end of the wir. Two organic compounds which can be used to impregnate doth from which garments are made have remained deadly to chiggers after seven laun derings. This would 'ordinarily^ cover most of the life of wortttag clothes, hunting and outing garments and military uniforms foe which chlgger protection is most needed. The most promising com pounds are listed as phenyl carbonate and x, x'-dichlorodiphenyl ether. Pearl Harbor was the signal for intensive research In chigger protection. The army had to prepare for the Pacific campaign. Amy doctors knew that one of the perils of the South Psciflc w^s s disease known as scrub typhus which results from the bite of an infected mite that is s close relative of the America^ chlgger. Resesrch got underway immediately at the Or* I lando, Fla., laboratory of the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine. By early 1844 Raymond C. Bushland, as an officer In the sanitary corps of the army, carried his findings in Orlando to New Guinea. There he showed soldiers how to make their uniforms chigger prool by dipping them In a 8 per cent emulsion of dimethyl phthalate and hanging them to dry. This would I protect a soldier from the mites for 1 up to a month--or until the uniform was laundered. Naturally A patient was pleading with a doctor that he really didn't need an operation. "There's nothing wrong with me," he argued, "except that my appendix itches." "Good," replied the,doctor, "we'll take it right out" "Just because it itches?." the patient gasped.

The 1849 spring pig goal talis for 00,000,000 pigs--an increase of 17 per cent or nearly 9,000,000 more than the 1948 spring crop. This win require an increase of about 21 per cent in sows farrowing if jitters are of average size. Goal aims to help provide average meat consumption of 150 pounds per person in late 194® and 1950, when the 1949 spring pigs will be ready for market. This wilt exceed average consumption of 145 pounds expected this year and' will be much above prewar average intake of 126 pounds.

A villager said to the master one day, "Jake, that ain't a pretty dog; he doesn't seem any account. What makes you like him so much?" Jake pondered a moment, looking Into the hound's sad, upturned eyes. Then he replied: "It's this-away.

Facts About Insulating Ceilings of the top floor of almost sny house are usually easy to insulate. Keep in mind two simple rules for the Job: Try to keep the insulation as close as possible to the heated part of the house. Provide a vapor barrier between the insulation and the warm room, as well as a ventilation space above the insulation. The vapor barrier is a membrane which keeps moisture from reaching the insulation. Walls of older houses are often dilllcult to insulate properly. Solid masonry houses are especially difficult and costly to treat.

We recently purchaaed a small lot of this chemical for farmers who wish to try it, and hope that some with worm problems will. Some interesting facts about food is that people in the U.

Prices, however, on farm commodities on Jan. 24, were below the high peak as follows: COrn 50 per cent, hogs 31 per cent, wheat 32 per cent, butter 30 per cent, sugar 6.3 per cent, milk 30 per cent, lard 63 per cent and cottonseed 59 per cent.

Comparing it to the new Clinton No. 11, whlfch by the way, le available in United amounts In the county at $2.5(r per bushel, we find Ift the 1948 oats variety tests conducted by the college of agriculture that Clinton outylelded It in all yield performances by from one to two bushels in northern Illinois and outweighed it by about a pound. Clinton is resistant to leaf rust and smut while Ajax is susceptible, and Clinton was 73.7 per cent erect while Ajax was only 58.5 per cent erect.
