j Behind The Eight Ball
the crush may be on you, if
you do not carry adequate lia-
bility insurance. Why worry
about damage suits when for
only $10 you can get Compre-
hensive Personal Liability to
HOPE, Ark.—It’s quite likely that
Oscar Middlebrooks of Hope, Ark.,
knows more about growing big wat-
ermelons than any man living.
He’s been recognized as world
champion in the heavy-weight class
since 1935—the year he shipped a
195-pound melon to Hollywood’s
Dick Powell, originally a native of
Little Rock, Ark. Robert Ripley of
Believe-It-Qr-Not fame published a
cartoon that same year acclaiming
Middlebrook’s melon as the largest
ever grown.
The big, fun-loving Arkansawyer
started raising watermelons in 1925
as a hobby. Five years later he shat-
tered the world-record with a 165-
pounder. He lost the title in 1932 to
a Texan, E. O. Kennedy of Atlanta.
He regained the distinguished cham-
pionship belt three years later and
hasn’t been defeated since that date.
“The only consolation in losing to
the Texan,” Mr. Middlebrooks says,
“is I sold him the seed which he beat
me with.”

—Fort Worth Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Rebel
farm groups are setting up a super-
lobby.
They aim to reverse the farmer’s
loss of influence in Congress, and
some key law-makers predict the ef-
fort may meet considerable success in
th§ coming election year.
The rebels are dissatisfied with
what major farm organizations have
accomplished. They’re putting their
chips instead on a new coalition of
groups representing producers of a
score or more different commodities,
from cattle to wheat to cotton to pea-
nuts to apples. Their strategy is
based frankly on highly coordinated
logrolling; each group hopes to push
its program through Congress by cor-
raling the support of other blocs in
the coalition.
“We’ll trade votes like mad,” prom-
ises E. M. (Mike) Norton, the veteran
executive secretary of the National
Milk Producers Federation and prime
mover in the new coalition. “They
keep saying on Capitol Hill, ‘get to-
gether and we’ll pass the program
you want.’ Well, now we’re going to
tell Congress what the farmers want
and see what happens.”
Mostly Middle-Road
Just what legislative proposals this
grandiose effort may produce is not
yet fully clear, but the group’s spon-
sors say the program will be mostly
“middle-road.” For his own benefit,
Mr. Norton is pushing a self-help
plan under which dairy farmers
would contribute to a fund to buy up
excess milk output for export or
give-away; the plan would replace
Government price supports but would
start with a $500 million Federal
loan. Wheat and rice spokesmen are
expected to produce two-price plans,
under which prices of their commo-
dities would be supported at a high
level domestically but propped at a
much lower level, or not at all, for
export.
In any case, the coalition’s pro-
posals may help shape next year’s
bitter farm battle on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Poage of Texas, No. 2 Demo-
crat on the House Agriculture Com-
mittee and a leading cotton spokes-
man, says that traditionally each
commodity group has vanished from
the fight once Congress dealt with
its particular problems. A federa-
tion of different commodity groups,
he adds, “is the best way—the only
way—to get these people to listen to
the other fellow’s troubles.”
The new combine calls itself the
National Conference of Commodity
Organizations.

Q.—I am a disabled veteran taking
vocational rehabilitation training on-
the-job. If I get an injury during
training—one not related to my serv-
ice-connected disability—would I be
allowed to receive VA outpatient
care?
A.—Yes. You would be entitled to
outpatient care if you needed it to
prevent an interruption to your train-
ing—even though it would be for an
injury not connected with your mili-
tary service.
Q.—If I change the beneficiaries of
my GI insurance, do I have to notify
the present beneficiaries that I am
taking them off the list?
A.—No. They need not be notified.
Selection of beneficiaries is entirely
up to you.
Q.—Is there any deadline date for
starting school under the War Or-
phans Education program?
A.—There is no single deadline
date. Sons and daughters of deceased
war veterans may begin at any time,
so long as they are between 18 and
23 years of age, and, under certain
circumstances it’s possible to begin
before 18 and continue after 23.
Q.—May I go to school overseas
under the Korean GI Bill?
A.—Yes, provided you attend an
accredited institution of higher learn-
ing and take a course approved by
VA.
MADISON, Wis.—The University
of Wisconsin College of Agriculture
suggests two methods of getting rid
of bees and related stinging insects in
walls of houses or hollow trees.
The first method is to plug the en-
trance with a cloth saturated with a
concentrated oil solution of chlordane
and the other is to fasten a double pa-
persack containing either
hexachloride or calcium
around the entrance.
Ordinary DDT will kill the bees
but not as quickly as the suggested
chemicals. Caution should be taken
with the latter as they are poisonous.
It is easier to destroy the bees soon
after they enter a building than after
they have stored a large quantity of
hondy. If colonies have occupied a
building for a year or more, it is best
to destroy them early in the spring
when their honey supply is low.
Frequently bumblebees, wasps, and
hornets have nests close to a house
rather than in it. Open nests of hor-
nets or wasps hanging from the eaves
can be taken care of with a strong
stream of water from a hose. The
best time to do this is in the night
because there is less danger of being
stung.
If stung in the process of eradicat-
ing bees, the stinger should be
scraped—not pulled out. Pulling it
will force more venom into the flesh
and cause greater irritation.
