Remind-, i ing busy farmers that spring care of livestock is important, extension specialists suggest these pointers: Animal Husbandry. By...all means plant some soybeans for hog grazing. Put sows and pigs on territory where hogs have not been for several months. Give sows with suckling pigs all they will eat of a well balanced ration. Castrate pigs at six weeks of age and wean them at eight weeks. Dispose of all non-producing sows. | Give lambs grain in a creep, say five parts of com to one of cottonseed meal, and have them fat to market as soon as they average 70 pounds. Temper horses and mules which have been idle to the spring work, and feed oats if available instead of corn, thus causing fewer cases of colic. Dairying. Continue liberal grain ration, to cows in milk especially. Plant plenty of corn for ensilage and grain for feed for next winter. Save land for ample soybean or peavine hay. Keep cows off pasture in early April to give pasture good start. Remove all manure and other fly-breeding rubbish from barn lots and premises. Keep salt boxes in pasture filled. Poultry. Brood young chicks on clean ranges and avoid carrying diseases and parasites from old stock to chicks. Feed chicks liberally a well balanced ration in clean hoppers. Select best cockerels for next year's breeders. Keep old hens laying by providing a laying mash; get more eggs when prices are low. General News Notes A very considerable amount of gold has been drained out of Germany during the past several months, the losses during the last week of March totaling over $4,000,000. The drainage of gold is having considerable effect on the nation's fiscal affairs. Bogle Potter, 2-4, was killed at Maryville, Tenn., when he was struck by a horse as he was riding on the running board of an automobile. The horse was ridden by a co-ed of St. Mary's college.

The proposal to spend $20,000,000 overhauling the battleships C alifornia [ ar.d Tcnnes.-ee to modernize them, has be n postponed, the chief of naval ope-a:ion> declaring that it is not desirable to have these two important units laid up at this time. The national headquarters of the Wo mans Christian Temperance Union at Evanston, 111., has announced the launching of a nationwide plan to i boycott merchants who sell liquor in j connection with other merchandise. ! The slogan will bo "Buy dry and say , why." During the past year Alabama's j sales of near-beer stamps has totaled j exactly 18 cents, six of the stamps be- : ing purchased by a collector of j stamps.

I Rent Average Land In Reducing Cotton Clemson College, April 7.?The purpose of the 40 per cent reduction in cotton acreage is a similar reduction in the production of cotton in HKi4, says It. W. Hamilton, assistant td Director W. W. Long, reminding farmers that land of good average fertility and not eroded, waste, or gullied land, is to be taken out of cotton cultivation this year under the terms of the contracts signed by southern growers. "Growers are not entitled, under the contract, to select old, wornout land and designate it as the rented area specified in the contract," saya Cully A. Cobb, chief of the cotton section of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. "There should be no skipping about in the field, renting one poor spot here and another 'galled' spot there. The rented acres must be tillable land fairly representative of the average'cotton land on the farm. In other words, the adjustment administration agrees to pay growers benefit rentals for land that would average what the other cotton acres will produce." These acres of average land may be put into food and feeds crops for home use. Food and feed crops are one of the great needs of southern agriculture at this time, and for this reason a special concession was obtained in preparing the cotton contract so that this need might in part be filled. County and community committee; men will give special attention to the land rented and the use to which this j land is put, when they inspect the farm later for compliance with the : terms of the contract. Secret service men lost week arrested seven men at Binghampton, N. on a charge of counterfeiting'. The gang was planning to flood the country with $2,000,000 in counterfeit $5 bills. Democratic leaders in congress understand that President Roosevelt will ask for an additional $1,800,000,000 funds for the PVVA when he gets gack from his fishing vacation. v/ !.
