Livestock Production
Is Year-Round Job
BY A. F. WILLIAMS
Assistant County Agent
There are jobs to be done
the entire year in the production
of livestock, and usually in the
hot summer months the handling
of livestock produce a greater
“Stress* on the animal than any
other time of the year.
Stress is any strain or pro
blem that produces a harmful ef
fect on an animal or bird. In
recent years, stress has been re
cognized as one of the most im
portant considerations in good
health management. Some stress
factors can be eliminated through
good management. Other kinds
are unavoidable, but the harmful
effects can be kept to a mini
mum if given careful attention.
An animal’s nutritional re
quirements, especially for vita
mins and minerals becomes more
critical under conditions of
stress. Stress also lowers re
sistance to infectious disease.

As you know . . . lubrication and stimulation of the skin are
important to the beauty ritual. The ‘‘lube job” (if we may)
works into the skin much needed “foods” and beneficial
oils while removing the dirt
and grime and harmful body
oils, which can cause black
heads, whiteheads and other
unsightly blemishes. At the
same time this provides the
stimulation and toning of the
muscles when properly ap
plied . . .
Wouldn’t it be wonderful.
if in this fast moving world
we live in you could just take
off your head and leaye it
with us while you went about
your busy day? Well you
can!!! Really, there’s no end
to the things you can do with
one of our wigs, wiglets or
falls here at . . .

LITTER COSTS YOUR FAMILY ABOITT TWENTY
DOLLARS A YEAR, according to a recent study. The
cost of picking up litter from parks, highways, and
streets comes to about 32 cents per item—or an annual
total of nearly one billion dollars. And every taxpayer
shares in the expense. Who is responsible ? Travelers,
picnickers, passers-by—people who don’t think before
they throw. Who pays? Everybody. What can you
do? Keep a litter bag in your car. Put trash in gar
bage cans, where it belongs. And teach your children
to do the same.

Just think of all the more important things that
twenty dollars could do.

THE CASE OF THE MISSING
PHON(E NUMBER . . • One
child who wanted to remember
a phone number painted it on
the shell of his pet turtle. An
ingenious idea. Unfortunate
ly, though, it didn’t work. The
turtle escaped, taking the
phone number with it. There
are lots of very creative ways
to keep phone numbers handy.
But the best way we know of is
to keep a list near the phone.
The rate of gain and efficiency
can be seriously reduced as well.
Good management calls for alert
attention to problems and situa
tions which can cause stress.
When the conditions develop (or
in many cases, when you know a
stress producing situation in
about to occur) be ready to take
quick action with antibiotics and
other feeding and management
measures.
The following are some of the
common causes of stress among
livestock.
NUTRITION: Poor nutrition
may actually be the cause
of stress and can aggravate such
conditions.
DISEASE: Animals like humans
suffer severe stress when
disease strikes. When this con
dition is caused by disease, some
antibiotics and antibiotic vitamin
should be used. These products
not only help the animal rebuild
resistance and body health they
fight the disease producing or
ganisms.
VACCINATION: Thisoperation
is an important step in an animal
health program, but it must l»e
recognized that the vaccination
itself produces stress. There is
also stress during the “reaction*
period while the animals body is
responding to the injected or
ganism and building increased
immunity.
SHORTAGE OF FEEDERS AND
WATERERS: When there are in
sufficient feeders and waterers,
the weaker animals suffer great
ly from pushing each other to
get food. This kind of stress
shows up when animals are too
crowded or large and small are
housed together.
PARASITES AND PESTS: Both
external and internal parasites
cause stress among animals.
Often these irritate and damage
the body, they also take valuable
nutrients from the body.
Stress can result from poor
ventilation, lack of sanitation,
drafts, and extreme temperature.
Therefore care should be taken
to prevent such situations among
animals at all times.
Operations such as castration,
dehorning, debeaking and sim
ilar operations have a shocking,
if temporary effect on an animal
or bird.

backbone of the farm programs,”
the Chairman declared. “Its re
sponsibilities include the con

farms, the stabilization of agri

South Carolina tomatoes need
no introduction, especially now
when they are at a peak supply.
It may be good, however, to brush
up on our tomato knowhow.
Select tomatoes that are firm,
smooth, plump and have no soft
spots or blemishes. Use cherry
tomatoes for garnishes, hor di’-
oeuvres, and salads. Giant varie
ties make showy slices to broil,
serve cold, or as large cups to
stuff with sea-food, chicken
salad, or coleslaw.
Vine-ripened tomatoes are
available now because of local
production. Tomatoes that are
purchased pink in color, as is
frequent in the winter, can be
ripened to perfection flavor.
Store these “pink* tomatoes at
room temperature away form the
direct sun. Direct sunlight will
cause tomatoes to ripen unevenly
and even wither or soften.
There is some debate about
peeling tomatoes. Actually, it is
a matter of preference and suit
ability. If you are broiling or
baking, leave the skin on as it
gives added body and makes
serving easier.
If you like to peel, here’s how.
Hold the tomato on a slotted
spoon and dip into boiling water
for about one minute, then into
cold water. With slight assis
tance, off slips the skin.
While tomatoes are at their
peak, try a new recipe using
this plentiful vegetable. Why not
can some for later use?
Their day-to-day logs of visits
over the 46 counties must reflect,
as no other source dt^s, the
variety of names posted in our
communities.
Newberry’s A. F. Busby, for
instance, could make calls in a
week’s time to Silverstreet,
Deadfall, Jalapa, Long Lane,
Jolly Street and Prosperity.
Greenwood County agent T. J.
Bryson has filed listings of U-
topia and Promised Land. Ches
ter’s D. C. Wylie may visit Puri
ty, but Providence is morepopu-
lar--County Agents W. C. Craven
in Saluda, T. 0. Bowen in Sum
ter and J. C.‘ King in Orange
burg may with equal justification
lay claim to a Providence call.
Greenville’s Joe K. Jones could
run over to Blackberry Valley,
Locust Hill, or Pepper. Darling
ton agent W. J. Gray can stop
by at Quietude; and J. R. Wood
up in Pickens can take his pick
of Pumpkintown, Sassafras
Mountain, Wolf Creek, Rocky
Bottom, Vineland, Glassy Moun
tain, Table Rock, Six Mile,
George’s Creek, or Gap Hill.
The lower part of the state
may have an even more liberal
sprinkling of offbeat names.
Reports coming from the office
of J. L. King in Marion have
listed as destination points,
Rains, Sellers, Temperance,
Britton’s Neck, Tranquil, Aer
ials, and Laughlin.
The list is long.
Colleton County has Round O.
Beaufort has Frogmore. Claren
don lists Silvers, Sugar Hill,
Goat Island, Sardenia, and Po
tato Creek.
Edgefield has Sweetwater and
Harmony. Florence has High Hill,
Meadow Prong, Goodland, and
Vox.
The longest community listed
on an agent’s report was Willie-
Road-Crossing in Lee County.
Shortest were Vox in Florence,
Ora in Laurens and Una in Lee.
One of the most unusual was
Joint in Dorchester County.
Foreign countries, large cit
ies, and famous names are also
well represented in the place
names sprinkled over our state.
In this category there are:
Baton Rouge in Chester; Den
mark and Norway in Bamberg;
