GE 3-1244 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD ONEONTA Robert Warner, Editor Tubes ami Slivers Down On The Farm By AGNES A. WARD July ushers in one big American holiday, the Fourth, which in recent years has dwindled into a marked luke-warm celebration for those dauntless and defiant authors of American Independence. Instead of awaking on that day to the sound of robust firecracker or old time cannon salute only the gentle-sounding alarm clock roused us. It was, all day, as guiet as if there had never been a colonial patriot like Thomas Jefferson who could pen, without reference to book or pen, such words as "these truths we hold to be self evident all men are created equal with certain inalienable rights-." During' the day we did 1 hear truly patriotic talks via the radio on the need to return to the basic patriotism, and fervor of America while at -nearly the same time the very head of our country was urging us all to think more of inter national dependence. It was Americans like the top brass of the F.B.I, who gave with the fact that patriotism was a democratic essential in: this battle to keep the freedom the early, valiant signers of Independence attained.

The thought being tossed about is that patriotism, may 'be considered as a sign of weakness and let us, especially we farmer folks, -perish that thought. Not only was colonial America fervent with patriotism and determination not. to be cowed by any other nation despite its prestige, size or threats, but early America was brought up on a thrifty economy. We often wonder how some of colonial dames would have solved the problem exactly what to do with tubes' of toothpaste, creams, or ointments, which are ever left with just enough inside so that one hates to throw them away and yet never sufficient to squeeze! Directions on each tube tell the user the ritual to follow in pressing the bottom and rolling upward to derive the maximum use of the product. Every time follow these directions press and roll (sounds like a new dance boat) somewhere along the way, tiny little geyzers of toothpaste, or said ointment will spout or else someone, hurriedly, 'has given the tube a big squeeze dead center and then where are you? In our special cupboard in the small room around'the corner, will gather tubes flattened out to a near emaciation, but yet have a minute quantity left.

We, who forget so many items like these products, think, maybe we had better save that one just in case we have nothing. You can tear them apart in desperation. Of course the colonial ladies would never have that problem, having, more than likely, to brush their teeth with maybe salt or some harsh powder, if they brushed. Still one could almost be sure they would have itound some means to empty the lanky tubes of every bit of their contents; In ff tub by this cupboard, is another problem. What should one do with mere slivers of soap? Why doesn't soap when it gets down to the consistency of a mere wafer just quietly disintegrate and have done with it? It doesn't.

Rather, it either floats around in. the bath like a slippery little eel too smart to catch or we leave it in the soap container, hating to be so wasteful as to throw it out. No one ever seems a'bit anxious -to use these slivers up to the last sud and ther's no way of grinding thm into soap powder. Once, for kitchen odds and ends of soap we had a wiry basket affair with a handle. This, shaken into hot water made soapsuds, but, after several times of getting it all shook up, these slivers became hard as rocks waiting for the next.immersion and they, could never match the easy to use modern detergents.

Our ancstors, who. made their, own soap, missed this weighty problem, too. They could have used the slivers to throw at hostile Reds. and it is a comforting thought, for we do want to be thought prudent, those stately ladies had a problem their soap ke't- ties free- from the very last bit of homemade soap. One thing for sure, no one could ever lick such a kettle For.

we have a perennial refuge, the shed, which can conceal- the flattend shaps of beautifiers or health products amid its ultra confusion. No one could spy When too many slivers of sweet scented soaps stockpile in the tub accessories, out on our dump, the most saving and conscientious Puritan would meet pure frustration in trying to find any, once hidden there.

Better Public Image Needed For Milk ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) A less favorable public image of milk as a food is one reason for a decline in the drinking of whole milk, a Cornell University professor said. Whole-milk consumption is down about 9 -per cent from 1956; a peak Prof. Leland Spencer, told a nutrition institute here.

Many Americans, Spencer said, have reduced their milfcdrinking to diminish their intake of calories, cholesterol and fallout contaminants, said new research could change the public -conception. The decline in whole-milk consumption, has, however, been balanced partially by gain in use of non-fat and low-fat milk products; he said. Butter, he said, has suffered the steepest decline among- dairy and the use of, margarine, made from vegetable oils, has risen steadily. Since 1957,, margarine usage has exceeded that of '-butter, he added. Use of milkfat produced for the manufacture of has dropped from 33 per cent in 1940, to 25 per cent last, year, he said.

Poultrymen Told of Ways To Cut Costs ITHACA Ways to cut feed prices, techniques for breaking jeggs on the farm, 'testing genetic qualities of breeding flocks were subjects presented last week' the Poultrymeh's Get-Together at Cornell University. Prof.

Jonathan Tobey, Econo- at the State College of Agriculture, said feed purchasing and handling offer the greatest opportunity for New York poultrymen to reduce egg production costs and increase poultry profits. Pointing out that feed costs range from 50 to 70 percent of total farm he said poultrymen 'should- keep a close check on the amount of feed used, its cost, and the number of eggs produced. "Often a higher priced feed," he said, "will produce' eggs at the, lowest cost." He listed three major approaches to feed cost, reduction: (ONE) the unit price. (TWO) 'Controlling feed the maximum number of Seggs with -good poultry husbandry. Among, ways- to cut feed costs, Tobey included the use of bulk using no credit, short hauls from mills, High level calcium and grit in the ration, low mark up because of competitive position and feed in mash Prof.

Robert C. Baker pointed out that some poultrymen in New State are keeping as many as 100,000 hens, resulting in large 'numbers' of undersized, oversized, jand undergrade eggs to be broken and frozen for sale to bakeries and ice cream manufacturers. "Since the frozen egg'market is relatively new to us," he said, "we are having many problems. Too many bakeries are complaining that the product they get from local poultrymen is not as good as the frozen -eggs they can buy in the Midwest." Among breaking methods, Baker discussed the use of new egg- breaking machine being tried at Cornell for a commercial firm. BARGAINS Summer, Clearance Sale OFF On Some Items NEW Rubber Roll Crusher.

tH 7-3528 COOPERSTOWN, N. Y. The Green Thumb Slugs, Snails Can Be Controlled By GEORGE ABRAHAM SLUGS AND SNfULS: If your petunias and other plants have small holes in the leaves, chances are this is the work of slugs or snails. These slimy animals are busy feeding oh -flower and vegetable plants. Most ot their work is done at night.

Irregular holes in leaves and plus a slimy trail are telltale signs this pest. You find snails in most places which are damp, and they are most abundant near decaying vegetation. Remedy: Use metaldehyde baits found in most garden supply stores. Apply in late afternoon'or evening after a rainy period, if possible. Slugs and, snails are most active then.

They dislike dry soils and feat's one reason why some gardeners sprinkle wood ashes around their tomatoes, to form a. dry wall barrier. Metaldehyde comes in liquid prepared pellet form, one pound per 1,000 square feet of area. A scond treatment is needed. PANSY TROUBLE: What causes a healthy patch of: pansies to suddenly turn yellow and die off? Ths trouble is due to various fungus diseases, including lusari- um wilt, rhozoctonia and Pythiym root rot.

CONTROL: None, once infection starts, although you can do a lot to-prevent future-trouble by sterilizing your soil with Terrachlor or Panodrench, before planting. Start pansy seeds in sterilized soil, and -be sure to dust your seed with Captan before sowing. HOUSE, PLANTS: What causes molds to form on the soils of house plants? This indicates poor rather than a lack of fertility. II doesn't necessarily indicate an acid soil.

Sometimes this mold can be dispatched by stirring the. top surface with the tines of a fork. this trick does not work, then repot the plant, using a mixture, of 1-3 1-3 peat and 1-3 loam. A dry soil may cause browning at the tips of your plant leaves, and too much water will cause yel-- lowing of the foliage or rotting at the base. A well drained soil has a better chance of growing healthy than Soaded with clay.

Use the above mixture for every- except cacti plants. GREEN THUMB CLINIC: A reader writes: "We planted some- bushes this'spring and so far'noth- ing, has grown.
