Poultry And Eggs
For Better Living
A Hinall (lock of chickens properly 1
fed and cared for will produce eggs '
enough for a medium sixod faintly and 1
enough to sell to pay for all the feed
and thus help the farm family materially
to live at home, says County
Agent W. C. McCarley.
"In supplying eggs during the late
summer and full, the comfort of the
hens and pullets that are starting to
lay must he considered," the agent
states, In making suggestions on getting
maximum results from the farm
docks. "Cool houses, shade, fresh
water and freedom from lice and
mites will contribute more to the '
hens' comfort than anything else..
"If lice get on the birds, they should
bo dusted with sodium fluoride. This
can be done by putting a pinch of
duorlde back of the head-on the back,
under each wing, and in the tluft
feathers. About two treatments, ten
days apprt, will get rid of lice. Miles
can be controlled, by painting the"'
roosting quarters with old motor oil
or a mixture of kerosone and motor
oil. If the house Is badly Infested It
may take several eleunlngs and oiltugs."
Urging that laying hens and pullets
bo given all the food they will eat.
the agent advises that a cheap feed
can be prepared by mixing one-third,
by weight, of yellow corn meal, onethird
wheat shorts, ground wheat, or
ground oats, and one-third fish meal,
this mixture to be kept before the
birds at all times. Another feed containing
corn or a mixture of corn,
wheat and oats, should be kept always
befpre the birds.
PICK COTTON PROMPTLY
AND PREVENT LOSSES
As the cotton picking season opens,
here's a good rule for cotton growers
to follow on the advice of County
Agent W. C. McCarley:
Never?put off?until ^tourorrow plcklng
the cotton you can pick today.
"Every day lost (after a field Is
ready to be picked) Increases the
chance of running Into a rainy spell?
or Into Interruptions?of * days or
weeks that may prove costly," says
the agent.
"Cotton specialists of Clemson college
and the U. S. Department of Agriculture
now have definite proof that
long delays In picking knock down
the grade of the cotton. In fact, from
Investigations throughout the cotton
country, they say that, on the average,
a delay of four weeks in picking
causes a loss of about one full grade
In lint quality. Four weeks' exposure
In the field cuts the quality of the
(jpotton a full grade!
"Put In dollars and cents, that delay
of four weeks in picking cuts the
value of the cotton anywhere from
fifty cents to two dollars a bale, depending
upon the grade and staple
length of the cotton."
On top of the damage to the lint
Itself, the county agent points to extra
losses due to the extra trash that
the cotton has In it when picked after
standing too long in the field.
"Furthermore," he says, "delayed
harvesting damages the quality of the
oil produced from the seed?and also
reduces the germination of seed kept
to plant, as shown in tests at the J
Mississippi experiment station.
"So, remember, by letting a field go
a mouth after It Is ready to be picked,
you may knock off anywhere from
fifty cents to two dollars from the
value of each bale."
Misfortune's Champ
Unlontown, Pa.?Back home from
the hospital, 34-year-old Earl Wolfe of
nearby Smlthfield wonders what will
happen to him next.
In recent years, he has survived
gangrene, peritonitis and a streptococus
Infection?and six major operations.^
Including one for upside kidneys
and another for amputation of
his left arm.

last week, differ sharply in their
views on the current European crisis.

France and Great Britain." Gen. Homer

there will be war soon."
