Farm Shop Layout
Adds More Space
More Equipment Added
As Skill Is Increased
The shop layout sketched by
Harold E Gulvin New York teach-
er ol vocational agriculture in-
cludes spaces for more equipment
than most farmers plan to put In
their stops but he has observed
he says that farmera rapidly ob-
tain more equipment as they be-
come skilled In handling their own
repair and construction work
In describing the farm shop In
the book Welding Helps for
Farmers published by the James
F Lincoln Arc Welding foundation
Cleveland Ohio states tha this
plan is the result of many years of
experience In working In and ex
amining many farm shops and
makes the following suggestions
For storage space many draw-
ers should be installed under the
benches The walls can be used to
hang other tools where they can
easily be seen and reached The
heating stove Is placed In the cor-
ner near the smokestack provided
for the forge
The entire right side of this shop
plan Is for tractors and trucks
There Is a handy chain hoist for
raising heavy machinery opposite
the large overhead outside door
The air compressor and the welder
are close to the outside door so
that tires can be inflated and ma-
chines can be welded without hav-
ing to drive Into the shop The arc
welder should have sufficient
welding cable to reach well over
the repair area
The combination of an are weld-
er an acetylene torch a black-
smiths forge a heavyduty grind-
er a drill press and a metal
lathe are all included in this shop
and are grouped together The
grinder and drill press are In-
stalled on a supporting post allow-
ing the grinding and drilling of
long pieces The pipe vise is at-
tached to another supporting post
Safety Shield May End
Power Line Accidents
It Is beginning to appear that the
end of power line accidents may
be approaching faster than anyone
believed for manufacturers of
farm equipment are now produc-
ing power line safety shields that
cannot be removed when the shaft
is In operation
These shields may be opened for
servicing and inspection of the
power shaft but they cannot be
removed unless the operator goes
to work on them with a blowtorch
a chisel and nobody expects
that to happen
For many years the manufac
turers of farm machinery have
been providing shields for power
lines but many farmers have
failed to keep the standard shield
In place despite the fact that rapid
lyrevolving power takeoff shafts
aro a neverpresent hazard

Fertilizer Shortage Seen
fls Imminent This Spring
Farmers cannot buy all the fer
tlllier they want when they want
It during the coming spring ac-
cording to II J LHote supervisor
of the Missouri fertilizer Inspection
service
He explained that the fertilizer
industry is geared to furnish
farmers as much fertilizer as they
want for the 1950 crops if they fill
their needs early Industry has run
out of storage space early

Springtime favorite
With spring Just around well
almost Just around the corner
the nations anglers are perusing
catalogues of equipment and lay-
ing plans for the 1950 campaign
against the finny denizens of lake
pond and stream
And as they plan and dream
there will appear most pften in
their minds eye the walleye rated
a springtime favorite where
ever he Is encountered The wall
eye Is a special favorite with those
who appreciate excellent eating
along with highly enjoyable sport
While not a spectacular fighter
the walleye Is a solid citizen of
the deep with a tremendous follow-
ing among sporting anglers
Probably because of Us numer
ous needlelike teeth the walleye
The walleye Is ft springtime
favorite
Is at times erroneously called
pike This Is a definite misnomer
for he belongs to the perch family
not the pike
The walleye is heavily fished be
cause of his food value and his
willingness to strike However he
can be Just as finicky and per
snlckerty as his lesser kinsmen
the trout and bass whenever the
mood strikes him And the angler
who Is notfamiliar with his habitat
his feeding habits and his eccen
tricities may have little luck in
pursuit of him Especially in lakes
walleyes are school fish and once
a school Is located fine sport and
finer eating are definitely In pros
pect
The baltcaster should use some
of the deepe rerunning plugs with
Qycasters employing the same sort
of equipment and lures they use
for bass fishing At times the wall
eye bites gently at live bait so the
hook should not be set too quickly
A Junebug spinner with a gob of
trailing nlghtcrawlers attached to
a Stanley weedlcss hook will usual-
ly turn the trick for the livebait
angler

Winter Fishing
This nice string of speckled
trout averaging np to five
pounds which was taken by
Ted Garner Morchead City
NC serves to stir anew the
Impatience of anglers as they
await the loosing of winters
grip so they can hit lake ponds
and streams again
AAA
Stream Technique
When fishing along a bass
stream stay as far as possible
from the spot being fished unless
there are bushes or vertical banks
to conceal your movements White
clothing has no place along a bass
stream so theres no point in mini-
mizing your chances for a full creel
by wearing it
Dress In darker colors and when
possible fish from the shade or
from a spot where your shadow
will not fall upon the water In
fast currents most fish will head
upstream so if you approach a
pool against the current you are
less likely to be detected by the
fish
Each pool should be approached
with caution and a few minutes
of watching the pool before you
begin fishing will often pay div-
idends
AAA
Minnow Tips
Here are some tips on trans
porting minnows II possiblemln
bows should be kept In the water
from which the were taken Not
more than SO minnows should be
taken In an ordinary minnow buck
et Water temperature should be
kept as nearly constant as possible
A low ice cubes on a hot day may
save you a lot ol dead minnows
When tijlnnow come to the top
three or four aspirin cr a few drops
of iodine wO help
