Brooding and Feed
of Young Chickens
This is the time of the year when
all poultry raisers are planning how
to cut down chick mortality. ('hick
losses vary in many cases from 10
to 40 per cent of all chicks hatched,
says .Juanita Ncely, F.xtunsion Poultry
Specialist.
Preparing for the Chicks. ? The
stove should be cleaned and made
ready in advance. The brooder stovo
should be in operation for 2 or 2
days to make sure that it will heat
iind is regulated. The floor should
lie covered about one inch deep with
(iie straw, hay, or shucks. In order
to tram the chicks, a round frame
made of fine mesh wire about 10
inches high should be placed around
lie brooder for the first few days.
This frame ot guard is placed 1 1-2
or 2 feet from the rim of the hover.
I ni- pi c\ent- t ne chicks from strayirg
away from the heat and becoming
chilled. The guard should bo made
linger when you begin feeding the
chick-, and after sevc. at days removed
altogether. Then hoards or

lit under house are useful in preventing
crowding.,
Hi It i Temperature.- The incuhato:
rn which the chicks are hatched

arc moved to the bl'ooder there should
lie only a flight change in the temperature
from that of the incubator.
The host brooder he.'it is about degees
it the outer rim of the hover
about 2 inches from the floor. This
gives a range of heal that will sun
both the weaker and strong chicks.
The weaker ernes usually stay undo,

Farmers To Meet
Wednesday Nights
Kershaw, S. ('., Jan. 2U.?The Agricultural
Department of the Mt. Pisgah
high school has organized an
evening class in Vocational Agriculture
composed of the farmers of the
community. The first meeting will
be held in the agricultural classroom,
Wednesday night at 7:30 o'clock.
These meetings will be held on Wednesday
nights of each week during
February and March.
All farmers of the community are
urged to attend these meetings. Problems
concerning fertilizers and varieties
of cotton and corn will be dis|
cussed. It is believed that the farmers
of this community could produce
, their crops more economically than
| they do, if they would attend these
! evening classes each Wednesday and
| present their problems for discussion.
I Valuable informaiton may be obtained
by hearing the farmers relate their
j experiences with certain phases of
farm work. The agricultural teacher
| will present experiment station data
I nv an aid in reaching a decision on
I'he farm problems.
Some of the problems that will be
discusses are: How rwiny pounds of
I phosphoric acid, ammonia and potash
to apply per acre under cotton an I
corn? What arc the most economical
sources of phosphoric acid, ammonia
and potash? Should you buy a high,
or a low grade of fertilizer? How
do you calculate fertilizer formulas'.'
Should you buy ready mixed goods
or home mixed? Should all of the
fertilizer be applied at planting?
What \ ninety of cotton and corn will
it pay nre. to plant? Will it pay to
top ?11 * s < grain in the spring?
The School Improvement Association
will meet Friday afternoon at
d:l)() o'clock at the High School building.
Mrs. W. F. Hird, principal of
J he sixth and seventh graces, will
present the special program. All patrons
of the school are urged to be
, p: esellt.

State Forestry I
Picture Outfit
South Carolina once contained
many million* of acre* of the finest }
! timber ,/that nature ever produced. 1
Of the State's ninteen and one-half j
* million acres of land at least nine- ^
teen million acres were covered with .
| ?
\ a large variety of trees. As the (
State developed agriculturally the j
timber was cut and much of it wasted
until today there is less than one- '
half million acres of old growth tim- 1
her left. <
No crime was committed in utiliz- J
ing the State's timber. It grew for j
the benefit of humanity, but, unfor- t
tungtely, millions of acres have been I
cut with no thought of a future tim- '
her supply. Here is where we have 1
permitted serious error to gradually,
hut surely, grow to lurge proportions.
I Today there are approximately five (
| and one-half million acres that are j
j being used profitably for agrieultur- |
I ul crops. At least two and one-hulf j
[ million more are being farmed at a
| loss. On the remainder, eleven million
acres, some form of tree growth
exists, but millions of acres are not
i growing enough wood to pay the tax
es when the land is capable of pro:
ducing from two to four dollars
worth of wood every year.
The State Forestry Commission
was created by Act of legislature in
: 1927, and a Department of Forestry
was organized during the latter part
<>f'192K, with $4,000.00 to carry on
i the work. During 1929 this amount
was slightly increased and it is hope 1
that the Ix'gislature, convening on
.January 14, can see its way clea?*
to again appropriate enough money
to intelligently and economically
i tarry on the work. About this the
Commission has no, fear.
The first step in handling the forestry
problems of the State is to get
timberland owners, and, in fact, all
of the citizens of the State to see
the value in forests, not only from
the timber standpoint, but as to recreation.
water supply and game in- ]
crease as well. Many of our citi- 1
zens still believe that the woods must
i he burned over every year in order
to "green up" pastures?attd?to kill
the hoi] weevil. Of course, a few
boll weevil are destroyed by forest
fires and the spring grass may h.
seen just a little hit earlier when the <
woods are burned, but we very sel- s
dom. if ever, stop to consider the 1
tact that the grass is of a poorc
quality and less durable, and the
.enormous loss in wood production,
the decrease in the regular flow of
.springs and streams and the amount
of game that is being destroyed
through woods fires. A proper knowledge
(if just what does happen when
we set fire to the woods is absolutely
necessary in the development of a
satisfactory forestry policy for the
State. We must educate the young
people, and the older as well, to the
; necessity of keeping fires out of the
woods and growing wood on every
idle acre in the State.
; Supplemental to talks to schools
| end orgnnizaiiotvji of all kinds that
ore now beine given by the Forestry
i Department, will be the showing of
! educational moving pictures in every
! school in the State. This is a gigan'
tic task, with the limited funds available.
but the best, results will not
; be accomplished until the actual situation
is clearly brought to the peopie.
The boys and girls of the State
are to solve- the piobiem when
it is placed intelligently and definitely
before them.

Famine Stalks In
Chinese Province
Shanghai, Jan. 14.?Talea of horror,
offering and death were told here
oday in substantiation of the Chinese
'amine relief statement from Peiping
hat 2,000,000 ..persona had died of
amine in Shensj province within
light months an<l that another 2,000,J00
would die of starvation and ex)osure
in the next few months.
(iporge Andrew.*, a missionary, just
eturnyd from months of work in
Kansu province, stated that the raviges
of fumine and disease in Hhansi,
shensi and Kansu provinces were hnong
the moat intense ever witnessed
n China. Moreover, indications were
hat in the coming summer and fall,
he sufferings of the destitute people
would become far worse, with a great r
death toll inevitable
Andrews, addressing British and
American missionaries, gave a rental
of human sufferings and affliction
engulfing the populace of
Kansu province that seldom has been
neard in China where stories of suffering
and death are commonplace,
and human life is the cheapest of all
ommodities.
"Stories of cannibalism are entirey
true," Andrews said. "I witnessed
nany occasions whore sufferers carv*d
flesh from corpses, cooked and ate
t.
"The authorities at first sought to
-.top such practice, but later ubanioned
efforts to prevent it. One man
lali'd before u magistrate and aeUM-tl
cannibalism, answered:
"Why should I l>e punished for eating
.only what dogs are eating?"
"The practice of selling children
was stopped long?ago because there
were no buyers. Children are lucky
r sold and provided means of life.
"In addition to famine, typhus fev r
raged throughout the summer, killng
uncounted numibers, including
fourteen foreign mission relief workers."
Since last March Andrews had been
n Kansu carrying on relief work
made possible by the China Interna:ional
Famine Committee with funds
from various sources supplied by
British, Americans and Chinese. He
is the son of British missionaries and
was born in Kansu. In that province
he is continuing the work begun by
his father fifty years ago.
