Noted In Receipts
With a 17.5 per cent Increase In
jH>stal revenues fur Juuuary 1940 ami
26 9 pur cunt Increuso in express shipments
during the same period, Camden
progress Is definitely picking up
tempo.
According to Postmaster C. P. l)uHose,

any previous January record in the
history of Camden. In 1940 the January
receipts totaled $2,821.70 as
against $2,403.00 in 1938. The average
for previous January periods
since 1934 was around $2,300. Prior

Early Spring Hints
On care of Livestock
Well laid plans for breeding and
'ceding are keynotes to success with
ivesetock in early spring, says County
\gent W. C. McCartcy, making these
tuggestions:
Animal Husbandry?Make use of
he small grains (barley, oats, and
ye) for hog grazing.
Grazing fenced cover crops with
beef cattle. Allow sheep one-half
pound of grain per day and all the
good roughago they will eat. Improve
permanent pastures by applying phosphrous
and lime. Sow lespedeza onpermanent
pasture in late March and
early April. Keep the breeding cows
maintaining their weight. If sows
have lice, treat them with motor oil
two or three weeks before farrowing
Dock and castrate lambs when they
are 7 to 14 days old.
Dairying-?Breed as many cows as
possible during February for calving
In November and early December
Plan abundance of home-grown feed
for next winter's feeding.
Provide for each mature cow: Siiage.
at least three t<>ns. or h-gutnel
hay, two tons, or a combination of silage
and hay: corn, eiaht busht*l-?:|
velvet beans. 420 pounds: oats. 1 "> I
bushels; cottonseed meal, four sacks; I
permanent pasture, two acres; soillnel
crops, one-fourth acre Continue to r"-j
pair fences, clean up the lots and
grounds, and whitewash oul-buildin^s I
and fences. Watch calves and yearlings
for lice, which at this season do
great damage.
Poultry?Put brooding equipment in
working order. Purchase chicks ea/Iy.
as records show that early-hatched
chicks aro the most profitable. Provide
clean range for chicks and pullets
Hold hatching eggs not over 14 days
before setting.
The I'nlted Mine Workers declare
that labor "wants no war or any part
of It." and are commending President
Roosevelt for "safeguarding our relations
against involvement."
Japan has "re-clamped" her blockade
on the British and French concessions
at Tientsin, following British
seizure of 21 German prisoners from
a Japanes liner two weeks ago.
DNB, official nasi news agency, reports
that German planes, on a second
day of raiding British coastal and
North sea waters, destroyed ' seven
j "armed enemy merchantmen," and
damaged an eighth "heavily" and .two
I others lightly.

/^v NE of these davs the itch is doing
W to hit 3'om to get out and get in on
the fun a Buick can be in the springtime.
You're going to feel an irrepressible
yen to touch off that husky, swect-sing^
, iug Dynallash power plant and swing
out in gentle coil-spring comfot*t to take
i in the fresh spring landscape.
, Maybe, like others we know of, you've
even got the model picked out, and are u
just "waiting a few weeks" to do something
definite about it.
But may we emphasize, in purely
friendly interest, that a lot of other
people probably have the same idea. 1
And that when they, start buying in
I droves?as they do every year about
the ides of March?even Buick's big
factory has trouble keeping up with .
them.
V
E2I
Of course, we're doing a!! Wc etui io ue ;
ready for everyone. ? H V j
But you can get only so many cars in
a warehouse. E|f ?j
And a full warehouse can empty aw- v
fully fast. '
And what with everybody wanting k?
Buicks this season, we can't say how
long we can promise the delivery we
can give now.
So why not play the early bird this I J
% year? Why not get the jump on your
neighbor and be driving your Buick j. j
while he's still talking about getting j
s his? J
You've nothing to
lose, a lot of fun to A
gain ? and you'll find n
the address of your M
