Sanitation Needed
When Raising Chicks
Clem son College, Dec. 9.?That a
successful brooding season is a major
factor in determining a profitable
poultry year is shown by records,
says P. If. Gooding, extension poultryman.
The raising of a large percentage
of chicks depends upon having
a good quality chick at the start,
following strict sanitary precautions,
keeping the brooder at the right
temperature, and using the right
kind of feed. ??;?
"Thousands of chicks are lost each
year by brooding them on ground ;
which has become contaminated with j
germs causing baclllnry white diarr-1
lien and coccidiosis, and eggs of the !
intestinal worms," continues Mr. j
Gooding. "The quarters for baby?
chicks should be clean and the brood- J
er house should be moved to new
ground each year, as the organisms
that cause the trouble may live in th<.*
ground frAm season to season.
"The brooder house should be built
on runners so that it can be moved
to clean ground when ready to atart
the brooding season The ceiling,
walls, and floor should be swept and
scrubbed with lye and water, and the
entire building flooded with a good
coal-tar disinfectant.
"If you do not have suitable quar
tors to brood your chicks build a
house now," advises Mr. Gooding.
Plans for the construction of a brooder
house are outlined in Extension
Bulletin No, 88, which may be obtained
from your county agent or the
Division of Publications at C'lemson
| College."

Retail Coffee Prices
Makes Sharp Drop
wmmLmmmm?m.
The largest chain of food (store* in
the country has just announced a
sharp reduction in the retail prices,
of coffee. The market of this commodity
ha* suffered a severe decline '
during the last month, as a result of
over-production. Prices have been
mini/nized too high by Government;
regulation* of export* in Brazil.
Hanker* in I,ondon have been libera)
lenders against surplus stocks. How- j
ever, recent developments in the I
world's money markets have brough'1
about u change in attitude. J Further
credits are only available if self-liquidatlng;\
meaning that coffee must
be sold within a determined length of
time.
A
The wisdom of Mr, Hoover's nincere
warning to the coffee growers ia re- j
called. His point of view as to arr
tificial price control is well known.
The abandonment of restrictions on
rubber shipments from British Ma-1
laya was largely due to Mr. Hoover's
campaign, as Secertary of Commerce,
against the practice of Government ,
interference in the marketing of com- i
modities. /
o
It is a recognized fact that agriculture
throughout the world need.-,
protection to the extent that an orderly
marketing may be assured. The
coffee planters face the problem or ,
great variation in the size of their
crops and the need of holding a sui
plus from a large crop over to an
other year of smaller production legitimate
credit facilities for such a
purpose seem the only solution.
It is expected that the present low
prices will greatly stimulate con
sumption. Coffee is already ver\
popular with the American public.
However, more will be used whfen the
cost is low. Every American should
remember that coffee is the life and
blood of most Latin-American coun
tries, which offer the greatest foreign
field for goods ^manufactured in
the United States. About fifty per
cent of our Latin-American importis
coffee. It is principally with coffee
that our goods may be purchased.
The decrease in the value of coffee
must be offset by a corresponding increase
in volume.
Every housewife can now afford to
be liebral in the use of coffee. The
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company
is rendering the coffoe planters
a great service by leading in lower j
ing the retail prices of this com mo- !
dity. Incidentally, more than ten per
cent of alt coffee consumed in the
United States is sold through A&P
food stores, which already is a pub- (
lie recognition of this organization,
as a distributor of coffee. It 'is es- (
timated that the reduced prices of .
A&P coffees will mean a savii.g of
over $100,000 ?weekly to A&P cus- j
tomers. j

Woman Wins Prize
In Canning Contest
Great interest has been occasioned
among local housewives in the announcement
from Chicago of the
(true winners in the National Canning
Contest held recently. Among
the Kershaw county women who had
entries in the contest were Mrs I).
L. Mat his, Miss Rebecca Jones, of
Kershaw and Mrs. Joseph Sheheen
of Camden.
The grand champion winner in the
i contest -was Mrs. Mary llvaas, of
KehhTrT, Wis., whose entry of a quart
of green peas brought her $1,250.
Mrs. Hvaas was awarded first prize
of $250 by the judges for the best
j entry in the vegetable class, and
j $1,000 as grand sweepstakes prize for
the finest jar of food in the three
classes of vegetables, fruits and
meats.
'The first prize of $250 In the meat
class went to Mrs. Dudley Brooks, of
[ Koba Red, Ala., for a jar of chicken,
while Miss Margery Drew, of Athol,
Mass., won the prize of $250 on a
jar of pears adjudged first in the
fruit class.
In all $5,825 in cash prizes was
distributed to the 208 winners in the
contest in which more than 25,000
women and girls from every section
>f the United States had entries.
-.-Mrs. Hvaas is a veteran canner and
puts up yearly between 600 and 800
quarts of food to cut living expenses.
She had planned to put up ten quarts
of peas for home use this year, but
took,extra pains with one jar which
?he decided to enter in the contest.
From her vegetable patch she picked
a milk pailful of peas and as she
shelled them she selected the peas by
hand and then carefully sifted out
those of even size by use of a colander.
The result was a jar of perfectly
uniform peas which amazed
the judges. Mrs. Hvaas plans to use
the $1,250 in stocking the little farm
with purebred Hol>tein cows, an ambition
she nurtured for many years.
A significant fact revealed by the
contest is that American housewives
are abandoning to a great extent the
' - n1 > -
old-time canning mothodz, like the
open kettle, cold pack, hot pack and.
water bath, in favor of the ateam
pressure cooker method advocated by
the U. S Department of Agriculture.
Fully 76 per cent of the prize winning
jar(?, including Mrs, livaas', were
put up by thi? method. Mrs, Hvaa*
processed her prize peas in the pressure
cooker which she uses every day
in her cooking, and attributes the
greatest part of her success in winning
the prize to her method of canning.
Judges in the National Canning
Contest, which was sponsored by,the
Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foundation,
were I)r. Louise Stanley, chief
of the Bureau of Home Economics,
U. S. Department of Agriculture, Dr.
^Margaret Justin, president of the American
Home Economics Associa-,
tion, George Farrell, Head of junior
clUh work in the Middle-western
states for the U. S, Department of
Agriculture; Mrs. Josephine Arnquist
Bakke, heaji of home economics
department, Iowa Stat^ Agricultural
College; and Miss Elaine Massey in
charge of girls club work for the
state of Mississippi,
Letter of Appreciation
Nichols. S. C., Dec. 5,?May I
through the columns of the Camdep
Chronicle express my appreciation tc
the ladies of the Bethune Methodist
church for the surprise shower given
me at the home of Mrs. J. D. Lafitte
on November 27, just prior to our
leaving Bethune' to make our home
here.
It is needless to say it was a surprise
to me hut nevertheless a very
pleasant one. After opening the
packages I found many pretty and
useful gifts from friends very dear
to me and I feel very unworthy in-^
deed in receiving such gifts, but hope
that each of you may feel just as
happy as you have made me. *
May you all be to our successor in
the future just kind as you have been
to us in the past, and may the Lord's
blessings rest upon each of you.
