STOP — when you're in our neighborhood—come in and talk
things over with us, we'll be interested in helping you solve it.
It is the little things, and regard for them, that mark the dif-
ference between an organized society and a savage one. Just as
it is regard for the little things that mark the difference be-
tween business houses of any kind. Here in Your Bank w$ have
always given every attention to the small details—for only in
this way can we render the big service that you expect from us.
GO — to your Banker whenever you need financial help, or
wish to plan for the future. He'll have just the plan that you’ve
been looking for—and he is backed by years of reliability and
confidence.
A little thing, yes. But not really little—because behind it is
the collective resolve of millions of people to obey that signal
— as a measure which will result in greater safety for every
single one of them.
You can Imagine, very easily, an untutored savage standing in
awe of the power of the green and red lights that so magically
stop and start traffic. Such a little thing, he would think, to
contro. so many people— and such a volume of mighty machin-
ery.

The “iceless refrigerator" la used
by placing it in the shade, but where
a current of air will blow upon it as
steadily as possible. A larger con-
trivance of the same kind is advised
by poultrymen to keep cases of eggs
cool on the farm. The same principle
has long been used on ranches of the
southwest, where porous earthen jars
of water are bung in the breeze on
shady porches to cool.
Plans for making the iceless ref<‘-
gerator are found in Extension Circu-
lar No. 312. "Storage for the Farm
Home.” which may be obtained free
from the county home demonstration
agent or from the A. and M. College

-The same dry heat that makes the
butter melt and run cau be made to
keep the butter, eggs and cream firm,
fresh and cool, says Mrs. Susan B.
Gray, Osage county home demonstra-
tion agent. The way to put it to work
is with an "iceless refrigerator," par-
ticularly useful in the farm home far
from an ice supply and without me-
chanical refrigeration.
"Everyone knows that a wet tow’l
feels cool when hung where a draft
blows on it,” said the home demon-
stration agent. “The coolness comes
from the fact that rapid evaporation
of the water is taking place, and
evaporation is nature s cooling pre-
cess. We simply take advantage of
that fact in making the iceless re-
frigerator, which anyone can build at
home at almost no cost.”
An iceless refrigerator can be made
any size, but the usual dimensions are
42 inches high by 16 inches by 14
inches. It consists of a wooden frame
of these dimensions, with slat shelv-
es inside, and covered by a burlap,
flannel or duck covering. This cover
is kept wet by a pan of water on top
of the refrigerator, into which the
upper end of the cover material dips
like a wick of an oil lamp. The cover
has one side that buttons down, to
form the "door” of the refrigerator,
and is so constructed that it can be
| removed and laundered easily.

Cattlemen who are able to keep
present herds through this period of
drouth and feed shortage should be
in a position to cash in on highei
prices in 1937 than they have had in
1936, and probably higher than they
had in 1935. On the other hand, farm-
ers and ranchmen who are forced to
liquidate cattle in 1936 will probably
face higher prices in 1937 when many
will want to restock, if 1937 is a
normal season.

Total meat supplies in 1937 will be
smaller than in 1936, probably al-
most as small as in 1935 when sup-
plies were the smallest in the last 15
years. Miles said. The reduction will
be most marked in pork and better
grades of beef. The decrease in sup-
plies will be the result of the feed
shortage caused by the 1936 drouth.

Hats and gloves require daily-
in order for the wearer to have
neat and well-groomed
according to Miss Sara T. 'Murray,
head of the household arts depart-
ment at Oklahoma A. and M. College
and Miss Martha Merrifield, exten-
sion clothing specialist at Oklahoma
A. and M.
Hats should be brushed well with
a soft brush after each wearing, and
placed where they will
dust. They may be kept in hat boxes,
hat bags, covered with tissue pap.-r
or covered with a cloth.
Hats lose their artistic style when
handled carelessly. A hat stand or
crushed tissue paper stuffed in the
crown will help keep the hat in shape.
Homemade pasteboard hat stands
may be made that serve very well.
"These may be made,” Miss Murray
explains, "from cardboard ten inches
high, ten inches wide at the base and
six inches across at the top. Cut
two pieces in this manner and cover
with cretonne or wall-paper. Slit one
piece from the center to half-way
down and slit the other one from the
center of the base half-way up.”
Linings frequently become badly
soiled and may be cleaned at the hair
line with a good cleaning agent. It
this fails, Miss HMurray suggest, re-
move and either dry clean or wash.
Press and sew back in the hat again.
Many of the gloves in use at the
present time are of washable mater-
ial and it is only necessary to laund-
er them carefully to have fresh glov-
es for all occasions. Miss Murray
says. After the gloves have been thor-
oughly washed, smooth them out care
fully, stretching the fingers back in-
to shape.
Pigskin and doeskin gloves, accord-
ing to the specialists, are often more
satisfactorily washed on the hands.
The, pull them on again before the
gloves are quite d’j, shaping them
to the hand. Remove and allow them
to dry completely. Use good, recom-
mended soap. When in shape they
should be wrapped in tissue paper or
a clean
or box.

"Plan on the production of a supply
of turnips this fall," advises I). C.
Mooring, extension horticulturist at
Oklahoma A. and M. College, “to sup
ply greens and turnips for human
consumption of turnips for live-
stock.
Turnip greens, as well as turnips,
are quick maturing, says Mooring.
Under seasonable conditions, greens
should be available in about 3o days,
and the turnips should mature in
approximately 60 days, depending up-
on the variety and growing season.
Severe frosts or light freezes do not
greatly hinder the turnips’ growth.
"Turnips have a wide range of
adaptability as to soil and climate
and can be grown cheaply. They are
easy to care for and furnish one of
the best yielding crops we have,” be-
lieves Mooring. "A yield of 200 bush-
els per acre is not unusual, and some-
times yields run as high as 300
400 bushels per acre. Such a
will supply the family needs
greens for fresh consumption,
nine roots and feed for three
of stock for 150 days.”
Since they are a cool natured
turnips should not be planted
the hot weather has passed,
wise they will be strong and stringy,
says Mooring. Rows 18 to 24 inches
apart are desirable, or the seed may
be broadcast. When planted in rows,
the turnips should be thinned. In
broadcasting, which is the more coin-
mon practice, it is well to mix the
seed with dry sand or soil prior 1o
the broadcasting in order to get a
distribution of the seed. Equal dis-
tribution in broadcasting is import-
ant. The general tendency is to get
turnips too thick, causing tlie tops io
grow tall and spindling and poor de-
velopment of die roots.
Under normal conditions turnips
■will come up in a few- days where
nice rains occurr. Should this be late
in the season, the germination may
be hastened by soaking the seed tn
the water overnight, where the seed
are to be planted the following morn-
ing. Where seed are put to soak in
the morning they may be planted in
the afternoon. The water should be
drained off the seed and. to secure
better distribution the seed should be
mixed with dirt. Soaked seed should
not be planted in dry soil. Where th"
seeds are planted in rows, shallow
drills about one-half inch deep should
be opened, the seeds planted, and
then covered. Where sowed by broad-
casting, the usual custom is to har-
row the seed into the ground.
