Plans Underway
For Christmas
Seal Campaign
Plans are well underway for
the annual Christmas Seal Cam-
paign, which provides funds for
the voluntary tuberculosis con-
trol program in McLennan
County Tuberculosis Association,
announced this week, at the
meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the McLennan County
Tuberculosis Association.
“It may seem early to be
planning for an event that will
not take place until November
13," said Mr. Sulak, “but it takes
a lot of t-me to check the mail
Ing list and prepare some 35,000
letters for mailing.”
Judge Bill Logue has been
elected seal chairman for the
55th annual Christmas Seal
Campaign for the McLennan
County Tuberculosis Association.
Mr. Albin R Sulak made the an-
nouncement of Mr. Logue’s elec-
tion today
“Everyone in McLennan Comi-
ty has a stake in making our
community a healthy, safe place
in which to live. When we vol-
untarily and in the privacy of
our own homes decide to con-
tribute to the and use Christmas
Seals, we are doing our part to
prevent tuberculosis and to
bring those who have it to the
care of physicians, thereby help-
ing to save lives," said Mr. Su-
iak.
Tuberculosis is very much with
us. The latest figures for the
country as a whole show that
one new case is reported every
seven minutes and a death every
fifteen minutes. Last year over
ten thousand people died of
tuberculosis.
Here in McLennan County
there are a number of tubercul-
osis patients, and no one knows
how many more are walking
around untreated.

Gentling Of
Honeybees Makes
Harvest Easier
College Station — A new and
improved procedure utilizing a
volatile chemical, propionic an-
hydride, to repel bees from|
combs while harvesting market-
able honey has been developed
Scientists of toe U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture working in
cooperation with staff members
of the Arizona and Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tions are responsible.
The procedure employs an ab-
sorbent pad, impregnated with
propionic anhydride and placed
in a special fume chamber. The
chamber is then fitted over the
super and air is forced by bel-
lows into the fume chamber,
driving the bees into other su-
pers or into the brood chamber
below
When the chemical is used,
bees become gentle and easy to
work. They are repelled from
sealed honey supers In one to
two minutes, in shade or sun-
light. There is no residue prob-
lem and no change in the honey
flavor or odor can be detected.
The scientists said the
precaution to make sure these
supplies are not damaged. O. F.
Garner, extension entomologist,
says the stored supplies should
be cheeked for insect infesta-
tion, and the storage bins and
surrounding area should be kept
clean. If a stored supply has
been partially damaged, the
seed should be removed from
the bin should be thoroughly
cleaned and dried.
After the bin and area have
been thoroughly cleaned, they
should be sprayed with either
methoxychlor, TDK or premium
grade malathion. A 2', per cent
formulation of one of these in-
secticides should be used at the
rate of about two gallons per
100 square feet of surface area,
says Garner. Methoxychlor and
TDE are also available as wet-
table powders and emulsion con-
centrtaes.
The cottonseed may be treat-
ed with a 20 per cent taxaphene,
5 per cent DDT or 5 per cent
malathion dust. The dust ma-
terial should be mixed
thoroughly with the seed at the
rate of 2 ounces per bushel. This
treatment should give satisfac-
tory control against stored-
grain pests for at least one
storage season. Gardner cau-
tions that seed so treated should
not be crushed or used for feed
under any circumstances.

procedure is more efficient than
methods used by beekeepers for
over 30 years and that future
research may make its use ap-
plicable for apiary inspections.
When combs were left on the
hive after the removal of the
fume chamber, bees returned to
cover the combs within minutes
and no indication of any detri-
mental effect upon the colony
was noted.
The scientists said the new
method should result in eco-
nomic savings to beekeepers and
and may help promote needed
expansion within the industry
to provide increased number of
honeybees for pollinating agri-
new cultural crops.

um pump is in good working or-
der. Also make sure the oil level
is right and the belts are in good
condition and not slipping.
Check the air intake valve or
vacuum controller and screen
to see if they are clear of dirt.
Check the vacuum gauge and be
sure the vacuum in the pipe-
line is at the recommended level.
Also make sure the milking ma-
chine is on top working condi-
tion.
Prepare each cow just before
the machine goes on. Use a sin-
gle service paper towel soaked
in sanitizer water or use a warm
water hose to wash the cow's
udder. Dry with a paper towel.
Massage the teats and lower
part of tiie udder until the cow
lets her milk down. This may
take 15 seconds, 30 seconds, or a
minute, depending on the in-
dividual cow. When cows are be-
ing trained to milk rapidly, a
Little extra time spent in prepa
ration will save time later, says
Meekma.
When the milk is let down,
strip two or three streams into
the strip cup or some other de-
tecting device and check to see
if the milk is normal. Then put
the machine on immediately
Manage time so the cow can be
checked asain in from two to
three minutes. If ready for ma-
chine stripping, machine strip
and remove the milker. Delay
in removing the milking ma-
chine when milking is completed
trains tiie cow to milk more
slowly.
Know how each cow milks out
and gear your time to her, Meek-
ma continues. Most cows prop-
erly prepared and trained will
milk out in three to four min-
utes, but same may take more or
less time. Try to have the ma-
chine on the cows lor an average
of three or less minutes for the
herd. Don’t leave the machine
on cows after the milk is re-
moved because that is when
trouble can start and harm can
be done to the tender tissues of
the udder and teat.
“Don’t hurry,” Meekma em-
phasizes. “Make sure you are
doing a good job on each cow,
and she will do her best to make
you money.”
Fire Prevention
Week Slated
For Oct.. 8 —14
College Station — Farm fires
cause losses estimated at $165
million in the nation last year.
W. S. Alien, extension agricul-
tural engineer, said the figure
was supplied by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Building losses accounted for
about 65 per cent of the total
less payments by companies lor
which a breakdown by property
class was available, lie added
Almost three-fourths of the
building losses were on main
buildings — homes and barns.
Allen continued that now is
the time for neighbors to attack
this problem of fires, and sug-
gested that special emphasis be
placed on fire prevention during
National Fire Prevention Week,
October 8-14. This peroid is just
ahead of the month when farm
fires take their greatest toll.
N: vember was the peak month
last year. Four-fifths of all 1900
farm fires and 84 per cent of the
iives lost occurred during the six
months from October through
March, Allen said.
President John F. Kennedy in
his proclamation designating
the special week said, “Our com-
munities and the Nation can ill
aford this inexcusable waste of
our resources."
Family training in. fire haz-
ard removal and fire fighting
and drills for establishing
escape routes in case of fire were
suggested by the engineer as
things families and neighbors
could work on together. Farm
families, in particular, he added,
must realy on their own fire
safety training, fire prevention
check-ups, and fire protection
measures to safeguard their
livs, income and property.
Local county extension agents
can supply information and sug-
gestions for carrying out educa-
tional programs not only on
fire prevention but also on farm
and home safety, Allen said. A
visit with the agents and com-
munity leaders was suggested
by Allen as a starting point in
planning for National Fire Pre-
vention Week activities.
Sometimes, reputations are
ruined, and other times they
are confirmed.
