J 13sb Farmers and Labor Must Have Help Atlanta, Ga., May 20.?Claude G. Mowers, New York editor and author tonight warned that aid must bo given agriculture and distressed labor if the present social order is to be preserved. ? - - These problems, he said, call for a higher and better trained leaderships than the nation has ever known. "We can not rely upon a leadership that has had no new ideas in 60 years" he added. Mr. Bowers spoke at commencement exercises at Oglethorpe university and was awarded an honorary degree of doctor of laws. Other degrees were Wilfred J. Funk, president of Funk and Wagnalls, New York publishers doctor of letters; and Dean Archibald Wellington TV*ylor of the school of commerce and Anance, New York University, doctor of commercial science. / Mr. Bowers said U,000,000 people in the United States were unemployed and in addition 30,000,000 on the farm were either bankrupt or on tho verge of bankruptcy. Old Arsenate Kills Cows Bamberg, S. C., May 29.?The dumping of a quantity of old and lumpy calcium arsenate in an old field on the farm of James B. Guess at Denmark nearly ten years ago Is believed to h^ve cost Mr. Guess 30 rruilk cows. Mr Guess turned his herd of 84 cows on the old field recently. A. few days later several of them became sick and 30 of them died. A chemical examination indicated they died from arsenic poisonling. Sollit & Sons, of South Bend, Ind., have b$eij awarded a contract to erect a Federal building at Chattanooga, Tenn., at a cost of $813,000, With 420 calendar days to complete the job. Let's Co-operate With The Birds (Viola >\ Kit-hauls, in "Our Dumb Animal*.") it is years since the -wild birds first learned that there is a never-failing food supply to be found at Bird-haven, our little two-by-four sanctuary in South Deerfield, Mass. We who Ktrnish the food are rewarded by a never-failing abundance of bird life around our home, and an ever-decreasing number of insect pests. In winter .the birds flock to the feedingboxes and .window shelves, and in summer they nest in the trees, shrubs and nesting boxes on the acre of land upon which our house stands, and often bring their fledglings to the familiar lunth-counters for food.* Birds that frequent Sugar Loaf mountain just north o fus, the swamp on,the west, the not-far-distant banks of the Connecticut River and the tnea'dow-land, all visit us; and during mjgtation seasons one may expect pleasant surprises at any time. Such a surprise was ours one day during the World war wl\en there sounded from an ap)rie tree in the yard an unfamiliar bird song, and at the first hearing, before imagination had had a chance to work, the words "Liberty, liberty, liberty," fell on our ears, and the call was repeated while the singer searched for insect eggs and larvae. Hq proved to be the ruiby-crowned kinglet, a bird which we had never se^n before. Since then I have often heard this bird, but instead of the thrice repeated call for liberty, which it had voiced so plainly, it now says, "Jibberty, jibberty, jibberty." During the nesting season an interesting race is always in -progress when the inmates of the house vie with each other to see who can dis^, cover the. greatest number of nests on the premises, And this does not mean that the nesting birds receive annoying attention. Most of the nests are located by watching to see where the ,birds carry the nesting material wdalwnys put out, such as short/lengths of twine, short and narrow stripe- of white cloth (the birds seem to prefer white), cotton batting and whatever other promising material we come across. One year we furnished narrow strips of white tissue paper which had been used iis packing, and this was very popular with the birds. Yellow wadblers and chebecs always come for cotton, as do the redstarts, and orioles and robins use the twine. We once saw a tug-of-war between an oriole and a chipping sparrow who wanted the same length of string. Strange to say, the chippy won, and we had the pleasure of seeing her weave it into her nest. Our little incident shows how the birds have learned to trust us. Two or three years in succession a song sparrow's nest was discovered on the ground back of the barn, and each year some prowling marauder made way with the baby birds. When next nesting season came, another nest was found in the same place and was catefully watched by my father, who, when the babies were hatched, encircled the nest, at a little distance, with hen fencing, and not the least interesting as well as gratifying part of this incident was the fact that while Father was placing this protective fence, the mother bird remained on tiro nest and watched him. We commonly find fifteen or twenty nests' within the boundaries of our small sanctuary, which means a chance to observe the -habits of many different birds -without much effort. It Is such music as only thrushes, catbirds) rose-breasted grosbeaks and many others make that gladdens our hearts and 'makes life easier to live. Cb-operate with the birds. They need us and we need them. - The United States senate Tuesday night gave its approval to a resolution authorizing President Hqover to award to Amelia L&rhart Kutnam tne j distinguished flying cross in recogni-! tion of her recently being the first | woman to fly across the Atlantic.

First of we should thoroughly realise that the demand has been tl^t there is ho turning back in this game of life and we might as well devote our thoughts and energy a-! long constructive lines. Of course I realise that it is hard to keep from worrying a great deal ut, times, nev-1 erthelcss it is quite necessary to make the stronger part of our intelect and reason predominate ov$r sentimental farvdes, hobbying the thoughts of what used to be and what we would like to have, etc. The task ahead of us now demands the best that is in real men and the sooner we face the real facts and conditions and buckle down to some definite constructive work the better off we will be. The condition we will Wind ourselves in five years ffom now will depend to a large extent on what we do and how we think now. 'Small scale dairy business in connection with our general farm activities probably offer one of the best methods of obtaining some cash money which is so necessary under our present status of living. While the money to be derived from the sale of milk from a few cows is rather small in amount yet it is more or less certain and constant. The price of dairy products is not now as low as other farm products in proportion. For instance, the 19091914 price average for farm products shows that .the volume of dairy products it took then to bring $1 will bring you the biggest proportion of the dollar of any farm commodity units on the basis of present farm markets. While dairy products have dropped in price and value along with other farm products it should be remembered that many of the things that farmers buy are down in price also. This is not true to any appreciable extent, however, in the case of farm machinery, fencing and other metal goods. , A good dairy cow fed on homegrown feed'and having the access to a* good pasture will return to the farmer approximately $1 per week j from the sale of sour cream on an average. This means from BO to 5-2 dollars per year cash income from eftoh cow. In'Addition wo should not overlook the import a nee of thp skim milk which is left on the farm for the production of pigs, chicken* and calves. Where sufficient skim milk is available it is not necessary to purchase meat scraps, fish meal, or j other commercial proteins for the | production of pigs, chickens,1 etc.1 Also the manure for fertilizer is left on the farm which builds up .the production of the soil for more' economic production of crop*, automatically re-1 ducing the necessity for spending cash money for commercial fertilizer which has been one of the big millstones about the necks of. our farmers for many years past. Furthermore, the natural increase of a properly managed herd will build up an estate which would probably not be built up under any other system of farming com mod to this section. The purchasing power of a unit of cream in exchange for things the farmer usually buys (outside of hardware, etc.) is about as high as when cream was selling- at 30c per pound butterfat. - It is the belief of the county agent that wo are now nearing the bottom of the price decline and under these conditions there would be contain advantages in starting now in a small way in tho dairy business. For instance, a good registered bull calf from high producing stock may bo purchased now nt from 10 to 25 dollars, whereas 2 years ago the same class animal would have cost approximately $100. Likewise, good female foundation' stoeto, either young cows or heifer calves, may be gotten to advantage. It should be remembered -at all times that one of the essential factors in successful dairying or any kind of livestock production is adequate feed and the cheapest feed for cows is pasturage, the next cheapest being legume hay. Therefore, farmers contemplating developing a dairy business should start as early as possible to develop a good permanent pasture, advises Henry D. Green, the county agent. Suicide Bullet Ktlls iMbther. Gering, Neb. May 27.?In committing suicide in tihe basement of his home late today 16-year-old Benton Johnson also killed his mother, Mrs. Anna M. Johnson, 52. ??

' T) " ' i1 Change Pastures; Benefit Livestock Clomson Colloge, May 28, Arguments in favor of changing pastures frequently include first of all the control of internal parasites, which are I the bane of southern livestock producers; and secondly the fact that it gives the livestock "a clean pla-ttor" and gives the pasture a chunco to rest and recuperate, says Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of animal husbandry here. Against ithe belief that changing pastures requires more pasture area Prof. Starkey states that the same acreage will carry more livestock if the livestock can be shifted from one pasture to another. It is generally believed that cattle should be loft on one pasture two to three weeks--certa!".'.,, not more than three weeks. As to how long ono Should koop livestock off the pasture before turning, them on again, the longer tho time the better, generally speaking, because this gives' parasites a chance to complet? theif life history and, not finding a host, perish before the livestock is again turned on. .> * * A good syatom, Mr. Starkey suggests, is to have at least three pastures. The chief hindrance to having several pastures is the cost of fencing and sometimes the water supply is an important factor. i The larger the acreage in pasture the loss necessary it is to havo three or more pasturse, but even in largo acreages, parasites can be controlled much more effectively by rotation v than by the use of drenches which, though more or less successful, havo a tendency to upseit the digestive system and thus retard growth' and gains. In other words, Prof. Starkey thinks that Sduth Carolina farmers would save thousands of dollars annually through an ample pasture system for air livestock. A straightforward man told Judge Watkfns in federal court at Anderson this week that he robbed a mail box in order to bo sent to jail to get something to eat. iHe-wrote his name in the dirt under the box and left a piece of paper with his name written on it nearby. He was sentenced to three months .in the Spartanburg county jail.
