â- '♦â-  IHEFASMFSQNT Clean your grain bciore har- vest is a i>icce of advice yoii've pro- bably heard beforeâ€" but it's such an important matter that ancthcr re- minder needs no apology. For the insects that lower the grade of your grain, and cause you a loss when you come to sell it. do not get into the bin along with the new grain. In most cases they're in there when yon put in the new. • * * Cleaning and spraying grain bnis is insurance against such damage. Walls should be thoroughly swept down, i'loorsâ€" especially the corn- ers and between the sf.iddings â€" should be swept and scraped. And it's a good idea to sec to it that the sweepings arc burned, since they are liable to contain <',;gs and larvae that might get back into the bins. • • • Steel bins should be ca.dked to make thcni more u i-:u!'irproui. flake wooden bins and t,ra"aries as light as you possiblv can. •' * « Walls, ceilings and floors sboul i be sprayed with a live per cent l/DD emulsion applied at the rate of one gallon per one thousand square feet. Or you can make a 2'/} per cent DDD spray l)y adding two pounds of DDD ucttable pow- der to five gallons of water. This mixture slioidd be applied at the rate of two gallons per thousand square feet. » * » A problem that frequently comes tp on various farms is ho v to kill stumps and prevent resprouting. The following suggestions will be â€"J hope â€" of value. • * ♦ Ammate (r.nnnonium su'famate) has been successfully used in many places both to kill tree stumps and to stop any resprouting. On fresh- ly cut stumps it can be applied dry at the rate of about one ounce per inch of tree diameter. * « ♦ You can also use this animate as a spray for stump sprouts or vecds by dissolving it in water at the rate of one pound per gallon of water. It should be applied on cool, cloudy, moist days wiicn plants arc growing rapidly. .Spray sprouts or weeds until they are thoroughly wet. -Many sorts of stump sprouts can alto be killed with 2, 4-D,.2, 4, 5-T or a mixture of the two. As 2,4-D is the cheaper, you might try it first. Then if the sprouts do not react, try 2, 4, 5-T or a mixture of both. A mixture often gives bet- ter results than either chemical used hy itself. â- I * * The fact that damp hay can cause a tire is well knou.i to ^li- iiiost everyone living in a farming community. Vet for all that over half of all farm fires start in the haymow. .-Xnd the critical period for spontaneous combustion tires is generally about a month after hay is put into the barn. » « * How can you tell if your hay is getting too hot? Usually you can smell a strong burning odor in the barn. Later a steam-like vapor may rise from the hay. ♦ * » .Surest system though, is to take Ihe temperature of your Iiay. This can be done .easily with an ordi- nary dairy thermometer. .V 10- or 12-ftt. piece of pipe, large enough to lower the thermometer into, is driven into the hay. The ther- mometer then is dropped into the pipe on a piece of string. * * * A pointed plug in one end of the pipe will simplify the job of driv- ing the probe into the hay. And a aeries of ihrce-cighths-inch holes drilled in the pipe just above the plug, will give you a more accur- ate reading. ♦ ♦ * Good quality hay seldom will Brough Triumphsâ€" Margaret Dupont (left) of Bellevlue, Del., congratulates Louise Brough, after Miss Brough defeated her to win the Wimbledon Women's Singles Championship for the third straight year. Later, she teamed up with Mrs. Dupont to win the Women's Doubles. Still later, with Eric Sturgess of South Africa, the rugged Miss Brough achieved victory in the mixed doubles championship match. reach a temperature of more than 120 degrees. If the temperature gets up around 160 degrees, check the hay frequently. And if hay temperature reaches above 200 de- grees, fire is almost sure to follow. V « « What can be done about hot hay? Your first thought may be to remove it as quickly as possible. Don't do it â€" unless you have the tire department standing by. * * • First thing to do is find out how much Ijay is Involved. Maybe only a load or two is heatin.g danger- ously. Check with your probe and thermometer to find out how wide- spread the danger is. » ♦ * When you've got the hot spot located, don't throw water on it. '1 hat will only increase the danger by wetting previously dry hay. * * *" Liquid carbon dioxide, which you can get at most drug stores, can reduce the temperature of heated hay as much as 100 degrees. Hay can be dosed with it through the same pipe you used to check tem- perature. * * * Whenever you're checking sus- piciously warm hay, avoid inhal- ing the fumes from it. And what- ever you do, don't fall into a spot that has been charred out. Walk on a plank laid across the hay. Or tie boards to your feet so you have extra support. * * * Actually, most haymow fires could easily be prevented. Crushing steins in the field so hay dries evenly is one solution. Another is to dry hay artificially in the mow. * ♦ » Or store your hay in small quan- tities and provide good ventilation. Mows containing 10 tons or less arc not likely to heat much. * * * Thorough curing in the field, of course, means loss of valuable leaves. But overheating â€" aside from the danger to buildings and live- stock â€" can wipe out just as much nutritive value. * ♦ ♦ Can you tell when hay is safe enough to put it into the barn? Farm specialists say it's safe if moisture content is under 30 per cent. * * * A good home-made test still is the old system of twisting a hand- ful of stems in two. If no mois- ture appears, the hay probably is safe enough to put into the mow. I didn't accuse anyone of cheat- ing: I just said I hoped they would play the hands I had dealt them.

Gold Changed Into Lead In Transit .\rmcd guards stood by at a Lon- don airport the other da}-, when more than £ 1,000,000 worl'n of gold was loaded on to a Belgian Dakota. Packed in 54 steel crates, it was taken to the airport in a l3ank of England van and later flo.vn safely to the Bank of Brussels. Transporting gold by air, sea and land can be a tricky business. A man who has flown more li.an £7,- 000,000 worth of gold bars, six-foot- tall Jelke Braaksma employed by a Dutch air line, says: "It's quite a responsibility, but I never worry. The gold bars are not actually packed; they are usually left loose, because they are easier to handle that way." Aircraft are about the safest means of carrying gold long dis- tances, although a large consign- ment once vanished mysteriously during transit from Baghdad to Croydon by air. Treasure-ships of the air are sometimes used in Am- erica to transport gold from a bank's headquarters to remote branches. The transport of two billion dol- lars worth of gold from San Fran- cisco to Denver, Col. (nearly 1,000 miles), proved a gigantic task. Three hundred sharpshooters, postal inspectors and police were on duty round the old Mint in San Fran- cisco and 200 macine-guns bristled from all adjacent buildings as a dozen armed mail trucks backed up to the Mint's loading platform. Each was loaded with a ton of gold. The only audible voices as this took place were those of two beg- gars asking: "Brother, can you spare a dime?" In caravan formation and sur- rounded by troops, the trucks moved off to the raihvay station, their v.ay being blazed far ahead by pow- erful searchlights. Infinite precau- tions were taken at the station in transferring the immense wealth to a train of armoured coaches. When gold goes by sea it is loaded into a liner's strong-rooiu only at the last minute before the ship is due to sail. This is to thwart any desperate gang who might de- cide to have a shot at getting the gold. In 1924 a vast quantity of gold was sent from Salisbury, Rhodesia, to Cape Town. It left Salisbury in a huge steel safe, which was care- fully stowed away in the bullion room of a liner sailing from Cape Town. But when the gold reached London, its final destination, and was escorted to the offices of a hank, the officials had a nasty shock. It was found that lead had been substituted for about $50,000 worth of the gold. Police are still looking for that gold â€" and the men who stole it. A writer in the latest issue of the News Bulletin, put out by the Toronto Anglers' and Hunters' As- sociation, brings up a point which should be of interest to many who â€" unthinkingly â€" do harm to the very ci'eatures they try to befriend and protect. » ♦ ♦ Not long ago a friend brought to that writer a small, young bird vtdiich he had found in a stoney feld near a body of water. From its long spindly legs and marked grey down it was soon identified as a baby sandpiper. • • * The baby bird had been caught with the best of intentions â€" its captor believing that it had been deserted by the mother bird. Which brings up the point that has beer, stressed by all fish and game de- partmenls lately â€" that persons in the outrof-doors should not handle or capture the young of any wild crea- ture. * * • This is because, in many cases â€" such as that of a young deer â€" it will be deserted by the mother should she detect on it any trace of human scent. The mother, al- though you do not happen to see it, is in all probability hiding near- by where you catch the young one, and if the Juvenile is left strictly alone she will soon retur^ But â€" if you handle it â€" the chances are that she will have nothing more to do with it. ♦ * ♦ Every year there are n^any in- cidents where kindly and well- meaning folks feel that they are doing a good deed when they res- cue the young of some moose, deer or bird from apparent desertion, when, as a matter of fact, they are really doing harm. And it is also pointed out that it is against the law to take the young of any wild life in the closed season unless you are certain that the mother has been killed by some accident. Even in such cases it is best to get in touch with the local game warden as quickly as possible. ♦ * * Down at the Polo Grounds in New York this Sunday (.July 30) they are going to throw another of those "Old Timers' Days," fea- turing some of the Giant.'' of 20 or so years ago up against their ancient and bitter rivals of the same vintage, the St. Louis Gashouse Gang. * * * It should be interesting â€" even if a bit painful to those who re- nember them in the days of their greatness â€" to see Mell Ott, Blondy Ryan, llughie Critz, Pepier Mar- tin, Joe Medwick, Leo Diirocher, and all the rest of them in uni- form once more, even if some of them are liable to bust a gusset frying to reach down for a ground- er, or require oxygen treatment after a dash all the way from home plate halfway to first base. On the mound, as opposing start- ing luirlers, will be Carl Hubbell for the Giants, and Dizzy Dean for the St. Louis crew. .'\nd while base- ball has long been marked by kce-i pitching rivalries, there arc few that have matched the spectacular duels which involved this particular p;nr. Maybe Cal Hubbell wasn't the greatest southpaw that ever lived; but we wouldn't mind making a small wager that you cant name three better. In fact, we wouldn't mind making the same bet with regard to Diz-zy Dean, as a right- hander. * * « The Dizzy one broke into big league ball with a bang. Gabby Street W'as manager of the Car- dinals back in 1932 when Dean arrived and the newcomer was so cocky and brashiy sell-conluleut that before many days had pass- ed everybody on the team, from manager down to water boy, was longing to sec him get his come- uppance. * * ♦ The chance to see that he got just that, and in plentiful measure, came on after he joined the team. In an exhibition game the Philadpelhia Athletics were giving the National Leaguers a terrific mauling and Dean â€" sitting on the bench â€" kept saying: "I jest wisht I was in there a-throwin'." Manager Street heard what he was saying and made up his mind to give the fresh busher the lesson of his life. Waiting till the A's had the bases loaded, with nobody out, he turned and yelled at Dizzy: "Get in there and piteh-and I hope you get your brains knocked cut." Nothing abashed, Dizzy confid- ently strode to the plate and calmly fanned in succession â€" read "em and weep â€" Al Simmons, Jimmy Foxx rnd Black Mike Cochrane, about as dangerous a trio as ever loaded a side with potential dynamite. Right away the Cards knew that while Dean might be the world's chani- â- Xlassified Advertising .. ACOOUNTINO BOOKKEEFIMO * ACCOUNTING SEBVIC£ Irvlni K. Shoom. 77 Victoria St.. Toronto.

One of the really outstanaing double- headers of all time was the one in i.-hich Hubbell and Dean took part, although not as opposing mounds- men. * * * This was on July 2, 193.3, when the Cards and Giants were sched- uled to pl^y twin bill. Hubbell pitched the opener against Tex Carleton. It was a honey of a battle all the way, with Jess Haines tak- ing over from Tex Carleton in the sixteenth. * * • For inning after inning Hubbell mowed them down just about as fast as they got up there. In the eighteenth inning a New York run trickled across the plate, and that â- v/as all Cal needed. He won by a score of 1 to 'jiving up only six hits, fanning 12 and issuing not % single pass. * * ♦ Dizzy Dean went to the mound for the Cards in the second game, V. ith Roy Parnialee serving them up for the Giants. It wa.; another magnificieiit pitching battle, tlic only run of the game coming when Johnny Vergez teed off on one of Dean's pitches for a honier. Two games â€" twenty seven innings â€" and only two runs scored. And still they tiy and Icll us the ball i.^n't any livelier than it used to be. Altogether Dean and Hubbell pitched against one another a total of ten times â€" with the great left hander triumphing on si.x occa- sions. Sunday, they'll be facing one another again. Wonder wliat they'll be thinking about, even if it's only an exhibition affair?
