#', v A HEW YORKER was traveling west in a Pullman when a fVOap of chamber of commerce iMMMter* from Kansas City, Mo., boarded the train and began to praise their city to the New York- •r, telling him of its beautiful boulevards, large industrial establishments, and its wonderful possibilities. Finally the New Yorker became tired and said the only thing that would improve their city would be Jo make it a seaport The enthusiastic Kansas Citians laughed at him and asked how they could make it a seSport, being so far from the ocean. The New Yorker replied that it would be a very easy task. The only thing that you will have to do," said he, "is to lay a two-inch pipe from your city to the Gulf of Mexico. Then if you fellows can suck as hard as you can blow you will have it a seaport inside half an hour." KEEP IT DABS A railway employe was summoned to cburt to serve as a juryman for a few days--a duty not wholly to his liking. After listening to a long list of excuses for not sitting in the panel propounded by the potential juror, the judge sternly snapped, "Do you mean to tell me you're indispensable to that big railroad that has' thousands upon thousands of employes?" "No judge," the workman replied, "but I don't want them to find it out!"

' !i CROWDED r - % . t ' , : -W .: : FARM ACCIDENTAL DEATHS DOUBLE RATE OF OTHER INDUSTRIES Farm worke-g had an accidental ieath rate more than twice as high is workers in non-agricultural ndustries in 1949, the National ^t>ty Council reports. The 1949 .eath rate for farm workers was •4 per 100,000 workers, while in ion-agricultural industries the .verage death rate was 22. Thi Council's announcement of he occupational death rates gave niphasis to plans for the seventh nnual National Farm Safety vVeek, proclaimed by President 'rifman for Julv 23-29. Farm Toll Hits 17,000 Highlights of the Council's ail* mal report on accidents to farm esidents were: , 1. Total farm resident deaths rbm accidents were 17,000 in 1949, bout the same#as in 1948. Injuries otttled about 1,650.000. 2. Farm home deaths totaled ">,000, with approximately 750,000 lonfatai injuries. 3. Motor vehicles Hcilled, 6,500 arm residents in 1949 and injured U0.000 more., 4. The total of 4,300 farm work leaths was down slightly--2 per ent--from 1948. Farm work eaths accounted for more than 5 per cent of the nation's occupaioual death toll for 1949. 5. Public non-motor vehicle leaths, such as drownings, took he lives of about 2,000 farm resilents. On the basis of these figures, he Council said that one of every 17 farm residents in the Unitec States will suffer a disabling inury from an accident in 1950. In the hope that more precaution will characterize farm life thi? vear, farm and safety leaders throughout the nation are mobilizing for National Farm Safetj Week to call attention to the heavyaccident toll, and to educate farm residents in the measures that wir prevent mishaps. Rheumatic Fever Rheumatic fever can be prevent ed by treatment of streptococcic in fections with penicillin. The signif icance of an adequate means ol prevention of rheumatic fever maj be realized when it is considered that the disease develops in an estimated 200,000 to 250,000 person? in the general population of thf United States yearly. At least 460, 000 persons in this country today are believed to bave rheumatic heart disease. WttwTklnri Mat Mmi- Buity, Uij JkpytiutltR Back in the days of the Roman empire, painters used to carry a bucket of skim milk with them. That milk, however, was not for drinking, but for blending with earth pigments to make paint Even in our own colonial days, painters often consulted the cook book for a recipe containing skim milk, salt boiled rice, coffee and egg white. They weren't getting ready for lunch, either. The recipe was a formula for paint in which the casein from the skim milk served to bind the pigment particles together. Since those early days, casein paints have been perfected until they are exceedingly popular members of the water-thinned paint family. Other members are the, emulsions, the cement-base water paints and the calcimines. All are widely used because they are easy to apply, they dry quickly and they present a wide range of lovely colors from which to choose. The casein paints for interior Use cover a wall surface well with one coat and provide a reasonable, decree of washability. They may also be used without a preliminary coating on new plaster walls which may not be completely dry. Needless to say, they may also be used effectively on dry plaster and on dry wall construction, as well as wall paper. Water-thinned emulsion paints first gained wide attention about fifteen years ago. They began as flat finishes, but are also now available in semi-gloss. That means they can be used on woodwork as well as on plaster, wall paper and wallboard. Outstanding newcomers to the family of emulsions are the new latex paints. These are designed as finishes f<r all interior surfaces. Preventing Calf Bom Put away the vitamin pills and tonics and bring on the colostrum if you want to protect calves against digestive diseases. When calves were given a small amount of colostrum each day along with regular cow's milk, it was almost im possible to infect them with scours and other ordinary diseases. Hie explanation is that colostrum--the first milk a cow gives after calving --contains protective substances not found in Ordinary milk or other feed the calf gets. By freezing whatever colostrum the newborn calf does not consume, and feeding this remainder gradually during the first few weeks of life, costly digestive troubles often can be prevented.

In one record-breaking season, 1945-46. some 600 individual fires, were reported by the insurance groups. These Involved an all-time high of almost 100,000 bales, or an economic loss of nearly $15,000,000 The fire-damaged ginning plants represented another $2,060,000 loss in property. This represents the equivalent destruction of the output of nearly 200,000 acres of pro ductive farm land.
