Protect Livestock
From Attacks Of Lice
Clemson, Jan. 11.—No farmer can
afford to feed lice as well as farm
animals, says W. C. Nettles, ex
tension entomologist, advising that
cows, hogs, horses, and hens be
protected against these parasites.
Weather conditions are now fav
orable for outbreaks of lice on
farm animals including beef and
dairy cows, horses and mules, hogs,
and poultry, and a close inspection
should be given and appropriate
treatments applied, he suggests.
Cold weather causes the animals to
crowd together, and this crowding
produces favorable conditions for
rapid increase of lice. With feed
high and on many farms scarce,
parasite losses should be kept low.
Suggesting that special care be
given to the selection of a suitable
material for delousing during cold
weather, the entomologist names
these remedies:
Sodium- flouride dust may be used
on ppultry even during cold weath
er.
Finely ground pyrethrum or der-
ris powders diluted with flour may
be dusted on horses and cattle to
reduce infestations.
Burnt oil is very effective in the
control of hog lice, but should not
be applied on cold days.
Creosote dips are used to kill lice
on cattle and horses, and sodium
flouride dips on chickens, but if ap
plied during cold weather colds or
pneumonia may result.
A Three Days’ Cough
Is Your Danger Signal
No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold
or bronchial irritation, you can get re
lief now with Creomulsion. Serious
trouble may be brewing and you can
not afford to take a chance with any
thing less than Creomulsion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
to aid nature to soothe and heal the
inflamed membranes as the germ-laden
phlegm is loosened and expelled.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, your druggist is
authorized to guarantee Creomulsion
and to refund your money if you are not
satisfied with results from the very first
bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.)

Livestock Auction
Sale At Greenwood
January 29th
' A
An unusual opportunity will b
offered farmers of the Greenwood
territory to purchase a purebre'
sire in the largest auction sale o
its kind ever attempted by ttr
Clemson College Extension Servic
in this state on Friday, January
29th, beginning at 10:30 a. m. a f
the Greenwood County Fair
grounds.
Approximately eighty well sc -
lected sires; 10 Jersey, 10 Guernsey.
2 Angus, 8 Hereford bulls, 35 boars
and gilts representing Poland
China, Berkshire, JDuroc Jersey
breeds, 15 cockerels of the Rhode
Island Red, Barred Rock and White
Leghorn breeds and five standard
bred Turkey gobblers will be offer
ed to the highest bidder.
This list of production bred sires
has been selected by the Extension
Service from the herds and flocks
of the best breeders of the state.
The inherited ability to transmit
high production or quick and eco
nomical fattening qualities plus de
sirable type were the factors guid
ing the selection of these animals.
Greenwood, located in the heart
of the western grass belt of S. C.,
was selected for this sale because
of its central location to a wide
territory unusually well adapted to
a variety of livestock production
reoresented by animals in this sale.
Two Creameries, a cheese factory,
markets for fat animals and a large
industrial population offer excep
tional market facilities for the
product of a wide range of livestock
production. It only remains for
“quality and quantity” production
to enable these market facilities to
offer increasingly better market
facilities for the product of live
stock farming, according to men
who are recognised leaders in this
field.
The sale will be held under a
large tent thus assuring comfort
able surroundings for the sale if
the weather is unfavorable. A num
ber of agricultural workers, repre
senting railroads, breed association
and the Clemson College Extension
Service will be in Greenwood and
surrounding territory during all of
the week of January 25th contacting
farmers with respect to the sale.
The Clemson College motion pic
ture truck will be used over Green
wood County all week to show mov
ing pictures pertaining to livestock
improvement. The truck has been
in surrounding counties the past
week.
A number of the animals are
expected to be delivered to the fair
grounds on Thursday.

ers for diverting land from soil-
depleting crops and for carrying
out other practices which conserve
and improve the soil. The program,
of course, is contingent upon an
appropriation of $500,000,000 by
Congress”, Mr. Cobb states.
“A soil-conserving base will be
established in 1937 which makes
it necessary for producers, in or
der to receive maximum payments,
to plant as many acres to soil-rcon-
serving crops as they normally
plant, plus the acreage which they
divert from soil-depleting bases.
“Land-use classification has been
changed so that the entire acre
age of soil-depleting row crops in-
terplanted with summer legumes
counts as soil-depleting and from
one-third to one-half counts a3
soil-conserving. Also, the entire
acreage from which a soil-deplet
ing crop is harvested and followed
by legumes or perennial grasses
counts both soil-depleting and soil-
conserving
“The maximum amount of base
cotton acreage that may be divert
ed by an individual farmer is again
35 per cent, and the rate of pay
ment is again five cents a pound
on the normal yield of cotton on
the base acreage that is diverted,
except that farmeis with a base
cotton acreage of two acres or less
may divert all or any part of the
base and farmers with a base of
not more than 5.7 acres may divero
as much as two acres. The division
of cotton payments between land
lord and tenant or share cropper
is the same as last year.”
The program as applied to tobac
co in 1937 reduces the maximum
diversion for which payments will
be made from 30 to 25 per cent of
the base acreage.

Save Farm Meat
Despite Weather
Columbia, Jan. 23.—Saving meat
under the present weather condi
tions of high temperature and hu
midity is a perplexing problem now
confronting farmers and remind
ing many of conditions of a few
winters ago when warm weather
caused excessive losses of meat in
cure.
“When the thermometers hover
from 50 to 70 degrees it is no time
to think about killing hogs unless
artificial refrigeration is available,
because failure to get meat cooled
thoroughly immediately after
slaughter and during the first part
of the curing period is the chief
cause of spoilage even though this
may not show up until later”, says
J. R. Hawkins, extension animal
husbandman. “Holding hogs which
have reached heavy weights until
the weather turns cold enough for
safe butchering is also very unsat
isfactory, first because many hogs
are already heavier than desired
and, secondly, because continued
feeding will make serious inroads
into the feed supply which may be
needed for other purposes.”
If cold storage space is available
in a local ice plant Mr. Hawkins
suggests that the hogs may be
slaughtered, the carcass center-
split down the middle of the back
bone, and taken to be chilled im
mediately after slaughter. The tem
perature of the meat while in cure
should best be kept at 38 degrees
Fahrenheit.
“If no cold storage plant is avail
able a home-made meat-curing box
refrigerated with ice is entirely
feasible and has given good results
when carefully constructed”, the
specialist advises. “Blue prints and
specifications for constructing such
a box can be secured through coun
ty farm agents. Another alternative
is to can with a pressure cooker
a.s much as possible of the fresh
meat, including the loins, spare
i. s, sausage, and even the hams
r^d shoulders. Extension Bulletin

} tension Bulletin 94, Canning
I 2at on the Farm, available from
the Publications Department,
C .emson, S. C., will be of assistance
I.* helping save the meat supply
as well as furnishing recipes for
a variety of products.”

The flocks on record were divid- pounds. This supply was approx-
ed into four classes based on the
percentage of egg production dur

laid during the fall months made

flue-cured tobacco the present
stocks do not appear to be too
great.
The domestic consumption or
flue-cured tobacco' will probably
show seme increase, this marketing
a labor income of only 95 cents year over that of last year, but
per hen.
“These figures from the office of
P. H. Gooding, extension poultry-
man, indicate that a high egg
production during the fall months
is indicative of a high labor in
come”, the county agent states. “It
is known that early hatched pul
lets are the heaviest producers of
fall eggs. Therefore, the hatching
exports will probably decline; so
the total disappearance during the
current year will not be greatly
different from that of last year.
If such is the case, disappearance
will be approximately the same as
the 1936 production; hence, the
stocks on hand July 1, 1937 will be
essentially the same as those at
the beginning of the current mar-
date on the average will have more feting year. Therefore, the principal
influence on the fall egg produc- f ac tor affecting the outlook for
tion than any other factor.
“Other factors, such as housing,
breeding, feeding, and manage
ment, enter in, but the hatching
date is probably the most influen- j
tial. Another thing in favor of ear- j
ly hatched pullets is that they us- J
ually grow off faster and the cock-,
erels can be disposed of as broilers 1
at a higher price, which boosts the
1937 will be the 1937 production.
