MM KWIfT TNIGAIIOM Nazi Prisoners Still Believe In German Victory .Conner Spoat Writer lUssa BrHiah Praaa For PartiaUty. Prisoners arrlvina in Bnflsnd from the FrenOh Invasion front are still confident that the Axis forces will win the war, savs Cort>. 8. T. Barkfelt, former Wisconsin sport writer and at one time working #s assistant to the present sport editor of The Chronicle, lahen the latter was han dling sports for a large -Wisconsin dailjr. • Barkfelt is now with a militair PO> lice nnit in England and in a letter to his former editnr sajrs that the war is verj real to those llring in Eng- IsDd. The crashing sounds of tmttle are familiar to ronng and old, he writes. ^ «*Incldentallf,'* he says in his letter, the prisoners being captured in V^ance are still sure that Germany will win the war but they lack the ynviction that the prisoners now in ‘American prison camps In the United States have. These new prisoners have seen the blitxkrieg backfire in their faces and hare felt the fnli fury of nnstopable Allied might. They are TisibUly shaken and lack the cocki ness that Rommel’s African Korps have. "T^ island fortress of Britain, where we are now based, is an eye- opener as to what all-out war really means. Men, women and children think, talk and work at the grim bosi- ness of war. During the daylight which lasts until very late in the evening the streets of English cities are practically deserted. Those not working at war plants or at some essential Job are busy tending the millions of home gardens, repairing Che shabby clothea left after, four years of strict ratioBlng or at home resting up for additional labors. ’’Women are in it on the same basis as the men. Women are subject Co draft if they are between the ages of It and 4S if unencumbered with chfldren.

Coker 100 Wilt Resistant is the variety adopted for the County. Olnners are being asked to take samples from the cotton as it is gin ned and these samples will be sent to Columbia for gra^g. A card will be sent to the farmers in four or five days showing the grade and staple and also the loea value. Warehouses can then accept the grade and staple as shown on the card if the farmer desires to store his cotton and borrow through the Government loan. Farm ers are asked to request the ginners to take samples from the cotton and send to Columbia in order that they may know more abput the value. W. C.

( ^ .4:The war.news in the British press is about eqiully divided between the activities of the British armies and the Russians. The exploits of the U. 8. forces are discounted and the war with Japan is seldom mentioned.

For the past eleven years, he has served as County Agent in Richland County. Summer Care of Hens During the hot summer months the comfort of the hens is Important U they are to stay on the Job. Properly ventilated houses, shade, fresh water, a well balanced ration and freedom from lice and mites will contribute to the hens’ comfort and hence, to sa- curing good egg production, according to Miss Margaret Fewell, county home demonstration agent. See that the hen house is well ven tilated and cool, but not drafty. Hot houses cause outbreak of summer colds or roup. Clean the bouses and spray them with motor oil and kero sene for mites. Supply shade imd a good green range for graxlhg. Cow peas or soy beans make a good sum mer range. One hundred hens need 4 to 5 gal' Ions of water daily. Water is cheap and Important to bens. Flock owners who secure an egg prodhetiop of 80 per cent or more during the sununer make more profit during the year than those who get low production In the summer.
