AJxmi . - . * Proper Sanitation Prevents Coccidiosis 1 Olvmson College, Jan. 7. Coccidlod?y - whioh protynbly caused the lOss >f more chick? in d&33i than all the >ther diseases combined and which > rob ably is still showing up in many lock* in the chronic form causing Juliets to go blind, get lam#, and in nany cases die soon after coming in? ,o egg production, can be prevente<l jetter than it can be cured, advises ?, H. Gooding, extension poultryman. "It is much easier to prevent than iO cure it and much more profitable, >oth as to loss of bird? by death and is to stunted birds which result from i disease outbreak," Mr. Gooding itates. "Then the heavy mortality vhich comes when the pullets start aylng is probably the greatest loss >ecause they have consumed a large juantity of feed by this time. "The organism causing this trouble 8 a protozon that attack? the ijttesinal tract. It develops to the infec;ious stage in damp litter or soil, ind chicks may get it by picking up nfected litter or soil. The organism ;an live in the ground for several ^eara and for this reason chicks should never be brooded on the same ground two years in succession." If one complies with the following rules in brooding set by Mr, Gooding tie should not have any trouble with roccidiosis and other diseases and in-1 testinal worms. In short, it will save the lives of many chicks and of fall pullets as well. * Move the brooder house to ground which chickens were not allowed to range on last before putting the [ hicks m it. Scrub the house thoroughly using one can of lye to 15 gallon? of watoi before moving in the chicks. Clean the house at least once m week and supply clean dry litter. Use clean vessels for water and never fe&d on the ground. Prevent puddles of water from collecting on the runs or yards by draining or filling with earth. THE HOME TOWN PAPER The merchant's relations to his home town paper are supposed to be those of-^advertiser. "That is a narrow view. The home town paper i? an institution-. The merchant can no more escape its influence than anybody else in the community, whether he advertises in it or not. -Yet, as a consistent advertiser his relations with the local newspaper become definitely constructive. < He lbe^nmes a part of this institution without which no community can express itself. Whatever its merits or demerits, the home town paper is an MCpj^nion of the coramunity? ^ erally, it is the "Voice of the People'* in a sense that cannot hold true for any other medium. " This, institution- keeps friends Hi toubh with friends. To the best of its ability- it answers Who, What, When, Where, How and Why? It brings the individual out of himself. It speaks the local language. It interprets community life. Week by week, or day by day, it tells the story of the town and $ounty. ^; Most - of us are so accustomed to the home town paper that we take it as a matter of course. If we think anything about it at all, we think of its deficiencies. These At* pr<esent largely because it is run by fallible human beings. The wonder About the home town paper is that it contains so few mistakes, not so VMtiji ? To the merchant, especially, the home town paper is an opportunity, His business, too, is a loeaK institution. Unless i| finds sort* ?hd w expression hi the home town papATi both the paper and the business have to an important extent fatted to Amotion., Each is affected somewhat by every successive failure in this respect. U . i 4 It does not cost a great deal oi money to advertise in the local paper. Most advertisers are over-judicioua rather than extravagant. It is the continual message that counts most. Sporadic advertisements - now - and then are of doubtful value. Perhaps they* are better than no advertising at all. Every advertisement placed by a business house should blend intc every other advertisement it places The merchant should think in t?rm? of a campaign rather than in termi of the single insertion. ?? " " Vast progress has been made 11 advertising within recent years. Out standing examples of it are to b* found in the national field. Locally however, advertising has much roow for development. Aside from one oi two of the big store#, the average merchant in the average small towi gives too little study to the power o advert jJing. Bat conditions are changing. Uoti and mora merchants are* coming t< realize that they are losing monej and prestige when they are not to tx found in the advertising columns 01 the bomb town paper. This is one o theTH*nhi?r sign* in the fiASS of ** tail merchandising. ?'Hbndersonvilh (N. C.)

STRANGE NEWSPAPER CHARGES . j ??m? i When Men Are Disclosed as Rotten, They Claim to Be Martyrs The Editor and Publisher, trade magazine for newspaperdom, finds that blaming newspapers is a Ntmiliar Hodge among .those who would pose before the public in the role of martyr.
