DISCOVER NEW HIGH SUGAR SWEET CORN An accidental discovery by a University of Illinois plant scientist has led to the development of a new "super sugary" sweet corn. It could be a dream come true for the corn-on-thecob connoisseur. Although the new corn lookp like any other sweet cora growing /in the field, it has 4 And another important quality s«§ar content about twice a$ high as that of ordinary corn.' that gives this corn great future prospects is its ability to hold this sugar without loss. Ordinary sweet corn carries about 20 percent sugar, but much of it changes to starch shortly after harvest unless the corn is cooled quickly and kept refrigerated. That's why l^ae gardeners w ho pick their corn and put it into boiling w a t e r i m m e d i a t e l y u s u a l l y have the best tasting corn on their tables. £itxt this new "super sugary" com' contains about 45 percent sugar. Even after 48 hours at rqom temperature, it still retains 40 percent sugar. Ordinary sweet corn would haVe ojj^v one-fourth this much. SERVICE NEWS William J.

A. Apply some shellac or varnish to these steps, allow to dry to the sticky or tacky stage, then sprinkle over them with coarse sand or sawdust, and let harden before using the ladder again. This treatment should insure you against slipping. Q. How can I remedy a sink-drain that has become stopped up with grease? A. Put one cup of table salt and one cup of baking soda into the drain, then ppur in a kettleful of boiling hot water. .Usually, this dissolves the g r e a s e accumulation very quickly. -- • Q. What is the best way of laundering corduroy garments? A. You should hang them on the line soaking wet so that they' will drip-dry. This eliminates ironing, and also insures their nap staying fluffed out. Q. Hbw can I make a lessmessy and dirty job of cleaning out my fireplace? A. If you'll keep a piece of newspaper burning in one corner of the fireplace while you're removing the ashes, the cloud of dust you raise will then be drawn up the chimney in the draft created by the flames, instead of blown all over the room. Q. How can I "revitalize" my tape measure, which has become too limp for easy use? A. Place the tape between two sheets of waxed paper and press it with a moderately hot iron. The wax from the paper will provide just the right amount of stiffening. Q. Can you suegest any use for fermented jellies? A. Try cooking them with a little sugar and water, adding cornstarch for thickening, and then using them for hot dessert sauces. Q. How can I improvise some finger paint for my children? A. Boil some laundry starch and a few soap chips to a paste, tint with some food coloring, and add a small amount of glycerin to keep the mixture moist. Place each color in a bowl or dish and, of course, be sure the paint has cooled before giving it to the children to use. Q. My oven doesn't seem to turn out baking, powder biscuits with the golden brown top I like. Is there anything I can- do about this? A. Try adding a teaspoonful of sugar to the dry ingredients the next time you make these biscuits. When baked, they should have a lovely color. Q. What can I do, if an envelope refuses to seal tightly? A. Use a bit of colorless fingernail polish as glue for your envelope. And incidentally, a letter sealed with polish cannot be steamed open.

POPULATION TRENDS FAVOR BIG CITY AREAS Since 1960, fifty-one Illinois counties have dropped in population while the other fiftyone have gained. The shift has been from farm to city, according to University of Illinois rural sociologist: C. L. Folse, who cites preliminary- figures from the 1960 census. The state's largest cities and surrounding counties have l-eceived 96 percent of the total population increase. Illinois population is now estimated over 10 million, says Folse. That's a 15 percent gain from 1950. Here are the counties that accounted for most of the increase: Champaign, Cook, Du- Pace, Kane, Lake, LaSalle, Macon, Madison, Peoria, Rock Island, St. Clair, Sangamon, Tazewell, Will and Winnebago. Folse believes that the continued shift from rural to urban poses problems in both types of communities. In general, the losses have been determined by the extent to which communities depend on agriculture. A corresponding decline in number of farms and farmers has probably occurred in those communities, Folse thinks. As for the increases in the other, more urban half of the state, Folse cites two major reasons: Continued high birth rates all through the 1950's and a substantial migration into the state, particularly of negroes from the South. The ancestors of Lincoln came from HSngham, Norfolk County, England. Poison Control Center Report McHenry hospital has been officially designated as a poison control center by the Illinois Department of Health.

In 1955, 68 per cent of the accidental poisoning cases in New York City occurred in the one jto two-year age group. 3. At least 93 per cent of the time, an adult member of the family was at home when these accidents took place. In 76 per cent of the cases, it was a mother. ^ 4. More than 50 percent of accidental chemical poisonings in children result from common household products generally regarded as safe. Little children are insatiably curious; they pry and poke, taste and try anything they,, can find. And too many Of them all too frequently find and swallow too many thingfc that are poisonous.
