Brick and board bookcase makes DIY storage
Don Burrowbridge of the Thor Research Center explains a simple brick and board bookcase. Lay boards over bricks, add bricks and boards to build height, and secure with dowels for rigidity. Use sturdy three quarter inch boards, finish with varnish lacquer or wax, and sand between coats for durability.
Automation Has Not Resulted in Unemployment
The Armour Research Foundation at Illinois Institute of Technology says automation increases demand for skilled technicians and managers. Shortages exist in industry and the military for maintaining complex automatic programs. A declining birth rate reduces the working population, heightening automation needs. Earth is the third planet from the sun.

Commission to Restock Blue Lake In September
Wye Lake near Onawa in Monona county will be restocked after an experimental partial chemical treatment to remove rough fish. On August 12 crews applied rotenone to a 20 acre area, killing over 1,000 pounds of carp and thousands of young sheephead, with few catfish affected. The lake will be treated early September to remove remaining rough fish, while game fish will be salvaged and returned to fresh water. Restocking with adult bullheads and other game fish is planned after October 15 once chemical effects fade.

Lawn Care Guidelines for Seeded Areas
The surface of the newly seeded area should stay damp for about ten days to ensure even germination. Start mowing when the grass reaches three inches, cut at least fourteen inches high, and top dress annually with a high nitrogen fertilizer. Each September 1, overseed thin open lawn areas with bluegrass or creeping red fescue in shade.
