games on a sixteen date schedule.
Ooaoh Ken Clark»s 1944-46 edition
of the B. H. 8. Varsity, which boasts
only one regular and two reserves
from last year's team, surprised its
loyal rooters by actually outscorlng
Coach Santore's veterans from Central
High during the first half. However,
In the second half the experience
and finesse of the boys from Purdys
proved to be too much for the green
Bears and Central had no trouble winning
89-28.
B. H. S. scored first and were no
worse than even at any time during
the first quarter and were In front at
the end of the period 8-5. In the second
quarter Central quickly overcame
this lead and went 8 points ahead until
the Bears rallied to score 7 points
while holding Central scoreless, to lead
at the half 17-18.
Central, sparked by Bucchlno and
Lundv, opened the third quarter with
a rush, running up 12 points before the
Bears could score. The remainder of
the quarter was even. In the final
period George Tuttie's 6 points for
B. H. S. were one short of Central's 7;
5 by Smith and 2 by Lundy.
All of the Bears 11 points in the
second half were scored by George
Tuttle. These with his 5 in the first
half gave him a tie, at 16, with Iiundy,
Central's high scorer.

In the preliminary, the B. H. 8.
J.Va, led by Pat Carlo and Harry
Thorn got the Jump on Central's J.V.8

the half. Inn the second half Coach

complete new teams, the 4th and 6th
near the end of the game.
Interested spectators were Norm
Donley and Earl Tuttle of last year's
team. Norm is in the Merchant Marine
and Earl has Just completed basic
training in the TJ. 8. Army.

Predicts Increased Investment
By American Farmers During
Sixth War Bond Campaign
WASHINGTON, D. C—A prediction f
that American farmers will invest
more money in bonds during the Sixth
War Loan than in any previous drive
was made today, by the War Finance
Division of the U. 5. Treasury.
Farmers bought $1,250,000,000 worth
of War Bonds during 1943. according
to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
In 1044 it is believed they
can and should purchase a total of
$2,000,000,000, Ted R. Gamble, national
Director of the War Finance
Division, said.
Income at Peak
The Sixth War Loan, starting November
20, comes at an ideal time
for agriculture, he pointed out.
This is not only the time when
larm income is at a seasonal peak,
but 1944 marks three years of record
Breaking farm income, he said.
Based on information obtained from
the BEA, the Agricultural Section of
the War Finance Division estimates
the 1944 cash farm income at $20,600.-
000.000. compared with $20,000,000,000
in 1942.
Although net farm income, due to
higher operating costs, may not be
greater than in 1943. most farmers
now have reduced their debts and
consequently will have more money
to put into War Bonds, the division
reports.
In the twelve months ending January
1, 1944, farmers reduced real
estate mortgages alone by $650,000,-
Bank Deposits Gain
After paying all operating coats
and necessary family expenses,
farmers will have left this year for
investment and debt reduction over
$5,000,000,000. the Agricultural Section
also estimates.
Because of the fact that new machinery
is not obtainable, farm deposits
axe piling up in rural banks.
Demand deposits neld by farmers
in these banks are estimated at
$4,500,000,000 and time deposits at
$2,000,000,000. Since the new method
of redeeming Series E Savings Bonds
makes them as liquid as a dollar bill,
it is no longer necessary for the farmer
to maintain a large bank account
to meet possible emergencies, Mr.
Gamble stated. Therefore, he believes,
farmers will convert part of
these deposits into War Bonds.
Pasteurization of Eggs.
Improves Keeping Quality
A new method for preserving eggs
has been announced by specialists
at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment
station. They have developed
the pasteurization of shell eggs, not
only to destroy bacteria but to retain
their desirable physical properties
much longer than if the eggs
were untreated. The method has
been checked and endorsed by the
United States army.
The eggs are passed through hot
oil or water, less than ten minutes
being required for the operation. The
process eliminates losses from chick
development by converting fertile
eggs capable of chick development
into an infertile state, so that they
can be kept in storage as well as
the infertile eggs.
The pasteurizing destroys the bacteria
though they may have penetrated
the shell and shell membranes
of the eggs. The process
cuts down the rate at which the
solid white is converted into thin or
water egg white. The process also
tends to improve the keeping quality
of infertile .eggs and has no harmful
effect on the taste or cooking
quality of eggs. The process can be
utilized by poultrymen as well as
commercial handlers of eggs. One
of its commercial uses will be to
reduce the bacteria content of frozen
and dried eggs if they are processed
from pasteurized or thermostabilized
eggs. The bacteria count
of such processed eggs was reduced
95 per cent. Some method must be
worked out by the individual to control
time and temperature during
the process of pasteurizing.
For best results, maintain the oil
and water at 140 degrees for 10 to 14
minutes.
Tiny Flea Beetles
Cause Garden Damage
Numbers of small, jumping beetles
known as flea beetles appearing
in many gardens threaten damage to
tender young plants unless they are
controlled by sprays or dusts. Most
common of the many kinds of flea
beetles are the black ones, about the
size of a pinhead. As they are
small, gardeners seldom notice them
until they have done much damage.

War Bond purchasers will provide
a farm financial reserve to protect
against damage by drought, flood
and livestock disease, will assure
cash to replace and repair buildings
and machinery as well as to build
back soil fertility depleted by wartime
food production, and will provide
funds for education, vacations
and old age security.
The high farm income this year
is the result of the huge increase
in farm production to meet wartime
food needs rather than a rise in
rices, which have been held down
y the OPA it was explained.

Restaurant Sanitation
Eighty-one cities of more than 10,-
000 population and 169 cities of less
than 10,000 have adopted a restaurant
sanitation ordinance. It is also
in effect in 137 counties and has
been adopted as state board of health
regulations in 18 states. The law
can be enforced without local adoption
in Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Indiana, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Virginia and West Virginia. There
are 144 cities in these states which
j have not adopted the restaurant
j code, but in which it may be en-
I forced. Proper restaurant sanitai
tion has been given credit for much
] of the effectiveness of health measures
dealing with war workers.
Seedless Tomatoes
By evaporating a very small
i mount of an organic compound
known as beta naphthoxyacetic acid
in the greenhouse as tomato plants
just about come into bloom, every
plant in the place set fruit, which
ripened into high-quality, luscious
tomatoes without seeds in tests conducted
by Dr. P. W. Zimmerman of
Boyce Thompson institute. The substance
is an organic compound
which comes in crystalline form,
and at relatively low temperatures
milts, then turns into a vapor. It
was warmed over an electric hot
plate, causing the evaporation. The
vapor treatment was also tried on
the holly plant with the same result,
investigation is being made for
its wide practical application.
