'be you feel that the wiring in your
home is your husband's affair. If you do, ycu're
badly mistaken. For, without adequate wiring
you are unable to enjoy the many conveniences
and luxuries that all of the new modern appli-
ances and low cost electric service have made
available. .

Noticed in one of the papers the
ather day, that one Parmer claim-
ed that his Hogs were so poor that
there wasn't enough meat on their
ribs to keep one European from
turning Communist for more than
a week.

A half dozen of us, whether we
were Hen-pecked or not, went a-
long with our wives to hear Mrs.
Coffee review "The Years Of The
Locust", which I understand Is a
best seller, written by Miss Erdman.
Anyway, regardles of why I went
along I did enjoy it a lot. The
"Old Maid" in the story was a
scream, however, I didn't like this
Henry character so well; he was a
doting husband, always bringing
his wife tv glass of water, and all
that he ever got in return was a
cot in the back room, that is, un-
til the end. for she finally kissed
him right in the middle of the last
page. But at that Henry seemed to
be happy, and I was happy about
going, and if they have another
one soon I think I will ask Mama
to go along with me, inasmuch as
I might enjoy it, and at the same
time it is a good way to impress
Mama with the fact that I am
interested in the better things. All
the way through the book the
author seemed to be trying to teach
us to be better citizens, which is a
good thing fur an author to try to
do. Anyway it was a swell story,
told in a wonderful way by Mrs
Coffee.

One man's description of a per-
fect day; a cold wintry clay, a good
hot fire, a ch;i,ir behind the stove,
a bucket of ashes, a chew of to
fcaeco, and a good book. What is
your idea of a perfect day? Let us
hear from you.
* * «
Every so often I hit a new "Low,'
"go on the skids", so to speak, and
get the feeling as low as that
"Snake's abdomen", and have to
"Scrape the bottom of the barrel"
to get something to write about.
When that happens I sure do need
your help, letter or a kind word to
the Editors, it is a lot better than
going to the Doctor, and don't cost1
anything. Anyway, that is what is
happening now, and we sure would
like lots of letters.

A lot of Farmers are worried; a-
fraid that they will fix the price
on cattle and hogs and grain, and
not fix the price of machinery, au-
tomobiles and trucks, tractors, and
the tilings that a Parmer has to
buy. It is hard to believe that Con
gress would do thut, but some un-
usual happenings have happened
in the past and Farm Organiza-
tions are on the look-out for such
a move.
And so, that's why
we say a "word to
the wives" about
adequate wiring is
important. Call or

MIXING'CONVENIENCE
Counter space and convience
mean the same thing when It
comes to planning a kitchen.
Size, height and location of the
counter are what count, according
to Mrs. Bernlce Clayton, extension
home management specialist, Texas
A. & M. College.
She adds that the Bureau of Hu-
man Nutrition and Home Economics
people in Washington have made
studies of kitchen work at counters
of varying height. Some of the
things they've found out are:
More counter space is needed
for making bread and cookies than
for any other food preparation job.
About the least space you can get
along with is 24 by 36 inches. And
24 by 42 inches will take care of
all mixing jobs comfortably.
Equipment manufacturers used
to make most working counters 36
inches high—the common height
for counters around the sink. But,
on the basis of the USDA studies,
they're now coming out with a
counter at two levels, one 36 inches
for washing dishes, the other 32 or
34 inches for mixing foods. The
most convenient height varies with
the height and arm length of the
woman who is going to use the
kitchen.
The handiest place to keep bak-
ing pans is near the mixing count-
er, not near the oven as it is done
in most kitchens.
Bowls, beaters and other utensils
used in mixing near this work cen-
ter, too, as do flour, sugar, flavors
and seasoning.

LOST: 85,009.000
A little time and trouble now,
plus some rotenone, can put Texas
cattle—and dairymen on the road
to saving $5 million.
How? By spraying for cattle
grubs.
Etatistics show that forty-two
percent of all Texas cattle are grub-
by. Grubby cattle are discounted on
the market at about one cent a
pound. The total loss to Texas in
the cattle and dairy business in
terms of milk, meat and leather
ea-'h year comes close to five mil-
lion dollars.
Most farms and ranches cause
their own trouble with grubs, Ex-
tension entomologists for Texas A.
& M. College point out. Heel flies
are the parents of grubs, and the
flies seldom migrate over half-a-
mile. So treatment for grubs in the
fall and winter will control the
heel fly on the farm and ranch in
the spring.
Spray the backs of the animals
with a mixture of 7 % pounds of
5 percent rotenone in 100 gallons
of water at about 30-day intervals
in the fall and winter, the entomo-
logists say. Rotenone dust can be
used on small herds.
Control now will help to save
feed next year, too, as it takes
from 10 to 15 percent more feed
to fatten a grubby steer than one
free ot grubs.

sent. Write legibly, have the correct
iddress (preferable on the wrapper
rather than on gummed labels).

One little boy was taken by his
mother to see "Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs". They arrived
in the middle of the film, and left
at the same point, next show. As
they walked up the aisle, the boy
turned back for one last look at
the screen and murmured, "If she
cats that apple again, she's crazy."

Susan's mother had been advised
to try a brand of oatmeal packed
by a company in Scotland. When
the parcel arrived, Susan, aided by
her mother, read the slogan on the
box—"The Backbone of a Scot."
"What's a Scot?" she inquired.
Her mother explained.
Susan paused questioningly. "Do
they kill one just specially?"
