Oue said â€" "Oh, the upright is to much liandier~it is a tot easjer to push along the floor." Another said â€" "Don't get iiiivthing but the lank type." .\n- oilier advised â€" "X.iuk or unriglit, I tion't think it unakes much differ- ence. .\iiv' NEW vacuum will do a good job." That sounded logical to nie--so when an upright was of- fered to me, i took it. You re- member one didii't have much choice at that time. For awhile I was thrilled with il. The attach- ments seemed quite satisfactory, too. and because of the novelty of working with them I did not realise what a chore it actually was chang- ing from sweeper to attachments. But after the novelty wore off I found myself going back to mop and duster rather than bother with them. I also ^uiid that using the sweeper created a certain amount of dust and made me cough. It wasn't long before I decided that when I got a chance 1 was going to iradt in my upright for a tanfe type. I did not mention it to Partner because I can't see the point of grumbling about anything unless you can set a way to change it. But last w^t^k when the agent called for the fourtfi time 1 told Partner what I wanted to do. Then t!h« agent gave a pretty good demonstration â€" and that fin- ?»h«d it. Now I have a tank-type vacuumâ€" and T would not change it for anything. 'I'here !« no dust, less nolle and you can get under any- thing and everyyiing without mov- !»g It K you id desire.

To the man who has never grown corn on the cojit'6ur, it looks like a bad job. .^t first, it's hard to figure out just where the rows are going. But, as one fanner said after he'd contoured for a few years: "I wouldn't give a man his dinner to help me contour. It's easy once you know how." Equipment is simple and inex- pensive. .Actually, you can make an outfit from a small level, a pocket mirror, a clothespin and a couple of boards. 1 i you want to contour your raw crops, you should plow and disk that way. .^nd don't worry about short rows. You'll have some. But yon may have plenty of real long rows to even things out. Start just below the brgvy of the hill â€" about where vou can jnst see the skyline over the hill. Some farmer.s dont use lath to mark guide lines. They prefer old newspapers at each point on ths contour. Pile a little dirt on them and you can pJow them under and don't have to run ahead to get the lath out of the way. The idea in making a contour line is to find a series of points, about 100 feet apart, which are on the same level around, the hill. Tlie man with the target goes about 30 steps ahead of the man with the level. He moves up or down the hill until the target is at tlie same height as the level. Then that position is marked. I'hen the man with the level goes mi past the target and sights back urtil he is again level with the tar- get. That point is marked, .^^d on around the hill you go. Extreme accuracy such as 'S needed for a terrace isn't necessary But you shouldn't let the contour line sag, for that collects water in the low spot- allows it to break over the ro- -iil wash down the hil!. Once the line is. plowed, keep plowing until the slope changes. 'Chen run a new guide line and work both ways from it. Fill in with short rows where necessary. Two words of caution: Don't plant the end rows up and down the hill. The contoured rows dump water in them and you breed a gnlly in a hurry And leave good, wide waicr-way. Most of the water-ways you've seen are too narrow. I-cave them vle'ity wide , • I: you aro contouring down .i long hog-back, and the rows make a fairly sharp "V," leave a turn- row right down the top of the ridge, leave it wide enough for a liay loader and rake.

Barclay Warren Th« DiscipUnea of Discipleghip Luke 12:16-21; 14:27-22. Golden Textâ€" And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot he my disciple.â€" Luke 14:27. One of the most tragic stories that Jesus ever told is that of the foolish rich man This man thought his soul could be satisfied with things. When he had harvested his bumper crops in bigger barns he would say, "Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry." But it is not only the rich who are in danger of this misplaced emphasis. It is a common error to slave for the needs and pleasures of this life and forget tiic soui. The rich man received the deatli sumniiiiH in the midst of his planning. How much did he leave? He left it all. The tragedy is that he appeared before God a pauper. He had lived for self and was not rich toward God. In this day when the number of bankruptcies is increasing if is easy BUILD WITH STRAW to get the point of the second Story in the lesson. We, too, may have stood by the foundation and com- mented, "This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 'The main reason for failure in Christ's kingdom is the failure to count the cost and prepare to pay it. It must be an all-out effort. There are no half-hearted disciples "Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that He hath, he cannot be my dis- ciple." The individual who will not give Christ the pre-eminence in his life is left out of the Divine program. Playing with religion and giving God the left-overs is being done by many. But only he who disciplines himself and strives to enter in at the strait gate will tind an entry. He who takes the way linds to his pleasure that Christ's yoke is easy and his burden is light. PILES A process lor making iiisnlating building boards from wheat straw is announced by the I.'nited States Bureau of .â- \gricnltural and Industri- al Chemistry. Fhis new product promises to compete with sugar cane bagasse and wood pulp as a raw material for in.sulaiing h.-)ards. About 40,000,000 tons of wheat straw alone are now burned or wasted every year on American farms. The new method for mak- ing straw into building hoard was developed by Drs. E. i". Lathrop and r. 1'. .Vaffziger. fhcir pro- cedure consists essentially in blend- ing ordinary straw pulp, now used to make strawboard for boxes and packing materials, with a new type of pulp which is inexpensive and which contributes increased strength and other desirable qualities to the finished product.
