Edna Wins.
Sunday was a good day for Edna
baseball teams. While the Pipeliners
were running up a big score over the
Indians' at Ganatlo, tile Edna Latin
American team was having a field day
against tin* Goliad Azotes, winning by
a score of 25 to 0. After the first in-
ning, the Edna team used mostly re-
reserves in order to hold the score
down.
The Latin-Amerioan team lias had a
good season so far, defeating and
lining......t ci—MrEmM+m—^rtn’ytnjr'1 it He
with El Campo, and defeating Goliad.

Why docs an engine wear out? Maybe you can get an idea from A. B.
Badgett, Route 4, Winters, Texas.
I have used nothing but AMALIE (100% pure Pennsylvania Motor Oil)
since 1938 in all my engines. I have two tractors, a combine, a truck, a car
and a pick-up. I he hrst time I used AMALIE was in an F-30 Farmall. I was
working 1,000 acres of land with three tractors; tested the AMALIE in the
one that we used the hardest. I used this tractor 4 years, working it hard; and
never had any motor trouble other than plugs and points. I called a mechanic
to check my bearings and when he took the pan off,
he said it was the cleanest motor he had ever seen.
And he could not get OSH SHIM out from under
the hearings!”

New Plastic Foam
Used in Insulation
Material I» Called ......... .......
Lightest of Solids
The world’s lightest solid an
amazing plastic foam that swells
up wher^ baked like a cake to 100
times its original volume—has been
developed by Westinghouse scien-
tist for use as a new insulating ma-
terial. *
-The new product is expected to
find its way into many uses in ap-
pliances used in farm homes and
about the farm.
Even lighter than some gases, the
new material weighs from 10 to 20
times less than the fluffy meringue
on a well-baked pie.
Robert F. Sterling, 20-year-old
chemist, and the man chiefly re-
sponsible for the new product, said
Shown here is a refrigerator
completely insulated with the
new plastic - foam Insulation
material. This Is tlie way the
refrigerator looked after the
insulation job was done, but
before door liner and other
parts were put back in place.
it is the result of a three-year
search for an effective insulating
material that will fill large areas,
yet weigh “next to nothing.”
The foam is made by heating a,
molasses-iike synthetic resin at*
about 350 degrees Fahrenheit until
it expands to 100 times its’original
volume, then solidifies. Thousands
of gas bubbles entrapped in the
foam “buoy” it up and give the
plastic its lightness.
(bamed info pre-fabrlcated metal
wail sections, a two-inch thick lay-
er weighing only 300 pounds would
be enough to insulate a complete
six-rooin house, Sterling said.
Resistant to fire, moisture, fun-
gus growth and insects, the foam is
low enough in cosi to be practical
for many applications and uses,
the scientist said.
Not only do imprisoned air bub-
bles give the ne-.v plastic great
lightness, but they also provide it
with its excel’ent insulating quali-
ties. So-called “dead air” is one of
the best insulators known among
commonly available materials,
Sterling said.
One-Story Home
Grows in Favor t
Plan Well Suited
To Farmers' Needs
The one-story home with base-
ment for the laundry storage pur-
poses and tlie heating plant is grow-
ing in popularity.
Highly suited as a farm home
because it eases housekeeping, its
popularity is demonstrated by the
number of ranch-type houses be-
ing built today in both rural and
metropolitan areas.
The one-story and basement
house pictured here offers features
that justify the popularity of homes
of this type. Planned as a farrp
home, it includes the conveniences
of modern design found in city
homes.

Cover That Cough
Y 1 to-(M
’•’Cover that cough, smother that
sneeze” is not only good advice for
people in public places. It has prac-
tical meaning in the cowbarn, too.
Danger that coughing cattle may
spread respiratory infections to
their stablemates is highlighted in
a research report from the Ameri-
can Veterinary Medical associa-
tion.
The report describes an unusual
case of tuberculosis bf the eye in
a heifer. A tuberculosis cow with a
bad cough, stanchioned next to the
heifer, is believed to have spread
the disease.
AVMA points out that this case
occurred in England, where bovine
tuberculosis is widespread. Al-
though tuberculosis has been re-
duced to a minimum in United
States herds, coughers and sneezers
are nevertheless a menace because
they may spread all kinds of res-
piratory infections. Isolation of any
animal showing respiratoiyf*>«ymp-
torr.s is urged, therefore, to protect
the rest of, the herd.
Field Mice Destructive
To Melon Crops, Seed
Untold damage is done each year
to cucumber, cantaloupe and water-
melon fields by mice destroying
the seed which are planted and al-
iso the plants which are up and
bearing fruit. H. A. Bowers, Clem-
son college crop specialist, says.
Bowers explained that the mea-
dow mouse destroys the seed after
they 'tare planted, and the pine
rnu. se/ cut's off the plants at the
of the living room and to the dining
porch. Sink and storage shelves are
along the outside wall, with the
stove and additional storage area
on the inside wall. This arrange-
ment provides numerous econo-
mies.
The work room Is adjacent to
the dining room porch but far
enough from the living and bed-
rooms to confine disturbing noises.
The two bedrooms, each with two
exposures, contain ample closet
space and are close to the bath-
room.
The garage Is separated from the
house by a breezeway, which can
also serve as an outside porch.
The basement Includes several
features considered essential to
comfortable Jiving on a farm. It Is
entered from the back porch, elim-
inating this traffic from the living
area of the .home.
The cold room is ample for
storage of' glassed fruits, vegeta-
bles and other farm produce.
Plenty of electrical outlets In this
room provide current for a food
freezing locker.
In one corner of the laundry Is
a shower.
Automatic Harvester
r.’.K-tn?
Ills
ail
Another farm Job Is brought
closer lo complete mechanization
by this automatic field forage
harvester. Within a few minutes
the corn harvesting unit can've
substituted for the hay pickup at-
tached to the basic machine. With
hay unit, the machine automatic-
ally picks up hay from the wind-
row, chops and blows it into a
trailing wagon for Temoval to
mow or silo. With corn attach-
ment, the machine sweeps along
the row, cutting and chopping
corn for silage.
Lice, Mange Top Pests
Of Those Harming Swine
Two of the most corhmon and
harmful pests on hogs are lice and
mange. If insects are permitted to
feed on hogs, the animals will have
stunted growth and be more sub-
ject to disease, says the University
of Louisiana agriculture extension
division.
Farmers are reminded that by
controlling insects they increase
the value of pastures and feed and
thus inerfase their earnings.
White Mice Serving
la Chemical Tests
Insecticide Shower
Evaluates Formulae
An old-style phonograph rigged
up to give a revolving shower bath
to a white mouse is helping test
new chemicals for effectiveness in
stable fly control. The mice are
pinch-hitting for dairy cows in
making the tests, snvs the U.S. de-
partment of agriculture. <
The old phonograph was one that'
played wax cylinder records. The
test mouse is confined in a screen
cage that replaces tlie old record
holder. The mouse is rolled around
several times under a sprayed
Solution of the new chemical, and
then is rolled under an air-stream
until dry. The test comes tlie next
day in another cage with 20 stable
flies. If as many as four of the flies
euccee-d in attacking the mouse
without being driven off or
poisoned, the chemical is not re-
garded as worth a full scale test
on a cow. This is the first time
white mice have been used in just
this kind of experimental work.
Federal entomologists are search-
ing actively for a spiny that will
protect animals from attack by
stable flies and other blood-sucking
flies and mosquitoes. Recent ex-
perience has proved abundantly
how profitable it is for. farmers to
protect Cattle from the torment of
“fly time” and thus avoid the sum-
mer slump In milk production and
gains in weight of animals on
pasture.
This search calls for trials of
hundreds of chemicals. Many of
these are new synthetics.
Soil Protection
AN “UMbPEllA" OF LE&UMEG AND
GRASSES WILL PRQTTC.T YOUR SOIL
FROM PELTING RAINS.
^7/7 je-’i' /S/'
Pelting rains may be a soil de-
stroyer rather than a farm blessing
unless your land has a protective
“umbrella” over cover crops.
Beating rains on bare land break
the surface soil into small particles.
These particles quickly fill the
pores of the surface soil. The sur-
face' forms a hard crust. Water
cannot soak in. Instead, it runs
over the surface. The farm land
then suffers a double loss.. It loses
needed moisture for crops and it
loses valuable top-soil.
The Middle West soil improve-
ment committee suggests these j
steps for protecting your soil and
giving your crops better use of
the rains you get:
1. Use a cropping system that
gives your soil as continuous cover
as possible throughout the year.
2. Thick - growing grasses and
deep-rooted legumes give the best
cover.
3. Small grains following corn
help keep the land protected.
4. If winter wheat or rye is not
feasible, a good covering can be
had by mashing down corn stalks
or soybean tops.
Legumes like alfalfa and sweet
clover prevent washing away of
•oil. Their prying taproots open the
soil so rain soaks 'in and is held
for crops. Legumes well fed with
phosphate and potash fertilizer add
life-giving organic matter.
Land Should Be Turned
Under ior New Legumes
When corn is to follow first year
sweetclover, it is advisable to get
the ground turned under before the
new, growth of the legume removes
too much moisture from the soil. !
This tip comes from D. L. Gross,
Nebraska university extension
agronomist. He advises, however,
not to plow under the clover before
new crown shoots get to a length
of four to six inches. Earlier plow-
ing may not kill the legume.
