B i Biiisaaassjj A Larger Hay Crop Forecast For State Columbia, Sept. 14.?The United States Crop report released ip August indicates that the 1936 hay crop in South Carolina will be slightly larger than the 1935 crops, states George E. Prince, chief of Division of Markets, Clemson College Extension Service. A production of 223,000 tons is forecasted, considerably larger than the five-year average of 1928-1932, which was estimated at 179,000 tons. With drought conditions prevailing in some of our counties, there will no doubt be a movement of hay within the state. South Carolina growers have found it very difficult to sell their hay in the past because of the indifferent or very poor quality produced. Much hay is imported into South Carolina annually. Mr. Prince urges the South Carolina growers to cut their" hay at the correct time and to cure it properly if they plan to market any of this season's crop. He states that from recent observations a considerable quantity of hay in the state is now. becoming too old and should have been cut earlier. Quoting from E. O. Pollock, hay specialist for the United States Agricultural Extension Service, the three following factors are very important: "Green color, purity, (freedom from weeds or grass), and leaflness." Loafiness is most Important because of the amount of protein carried in the leaves. Color is also important as it is an indication of good curing, palar tibility, freedom from damage, and a relatively high vitamin content. Those in doubt as to stage at which they should be cut are advised to consult county agricultural agents. Mrs. Charles Whitman, wife of the former Governor Whitman of New York, has resigned her membership in the Women's National Republican club and will campaign for the reelection of President Roosevelt. Advises Poultrymen on Fowl Paralysis Clemson, Sept. 14.?Paralysis of fowls called lescosls has become quite widespread In recent years throughout most of the poultry raising sections of the United States, Bays Dr. O. W. Anderson, associate animal pathologist of the South Carolina Experiment Station, advising poultry raisers that there is no treatment for the disease and that it must be handled as any other contagious disease. "Leucosis usually affects birds from three to fifteen months of age," Dr. Anderson explains. "The affected bird usually shows a* weakness in one or both legs or one or both wings. The legs are usually extended backward, or one forward and the other backward. Other conditions which are now thought to be the result of the same causative agent, probably a virus, are grey eyes, multiple tumors of the abdominal organs, anemia, and leukemia or large liver. "Tapeworm infestation, nutritional deficiency, as wfell as Infectious diseases, such as cholera and tuberculosis, sometimes produce paralysis symptoms. These, however, can be differentiated from fowl paralysis by a laboratory examination^ ' "When leucosis attacks a flock, paralyzed birds should be killed and burned promptly and strict sanitary measures should be practiced." Until more is learned concerning fowl paralysis, additions to flocks should be made, if possible, only from flocks free from this disease, the pathologist suggests. The 4,000,000 French war veterans have pledged support to the government on its neutrality policy in Spain, throwing their weight against the General Confederation of Labor with 5,000,000 adherents, demanding that the government go to the aid of the Spanish government In its war against the rebels. In the meantime strikes continue to spread to all lines of industry in France. | A Good Walter Well Paid ' Twelve years ago Mrs. Elmjpa Cleve- I land, a widow in Minneapolis, began I getting her meals in a certain res- fl taurant where she liked the service I of a waiter named Louis Sideris.
