WATER. . .AND YOU The world is considerably more than oes half water, therefore, we should learn to respect it. Every child should learn that water is useful. „ .but perilous and should be taught to swim or stay afloat as soon in life as possible. To quote a word coinage, drown - proofing: "The body does not submerge completely, even when no effort is made to stay afloat. A person can remain in water as loag as six or eight hours without undue fatigue by taking a breath and allowing the body to sink to its natural buoyancy level. Fifteen seconds later resurface and exhale,, repeat this process until rescued." Most crownings occur through panic and/or insufficient emergency training. Swimming and boating provide physical exercise, relaxation, diversion and recreation and should not be marred by tragedy.. .Never allow youngsters to be in a boat, pool or lake without a life preserver.

Either excess concerns the former and lessens his pro* fits. But as formers learn to control the water -- to remove it and to add to it as needed - higher yield can be the result. While farmers usually welcome rain, excessive water delays field work and planting, cuts crop yields by reducing root growth, stunts the plant growth and Increases disease and weed infestation. In the Corn Belt - and Illinois is very much a part of this area -- one acre out of every four needs additional drainage. To the farmer who uses fertilizer,) plants on time, pays attention to seed quality and planting rates, controls weeds and insects .. .the job is only partly done if the soil does not drain correctly. Thus, improved artificial drainage could be the next step to higher profits. In a recent study, com yielded 22 bushels more and soybeans six bushels more per acre after good drainage systems were installed.
