Ohman spent years studying the
great document. His research dis
closed many interesting bits of
history attached to the historic
Declaration.
His studies revealed that the
first facsimile of the Declaration
f Independence was made in
1823. President James Monroe di
rected Secretary of State John
Quincy Adams to have a true fac
simile of the original engraved on
a copper plate for posterity. The
finest engraver of the time, W. I.
Stone, was appointed to do the
work. However, Stone ran into
difficulty by using a wet transfer,
and finding to his dismay that
he signatures of practically all of
the signers and some of the script
had peeled off the parchment on
to the copper plate. That is why,
ever since 1823, the original docu
ment has been permanently dam
aged.
When the engraving was com
pleted, Stone printed 200 copies on
genuine parchment, distributed to
branches of the government and
to descendants of the Signers.
Ohman, in tracing these parch
ments, discovered an original in
an antique shop in the East. He
also found, during his research,
that the copy in the Library of
Congress, thought to be the only
one of the 200 original parch
ment prints remaining in exist
ence, was actually only an imita
tion done on paper.
It is Mr. Ohman’s intention, it
was stated, now that his litho
graphing has been completed, t
present the actual parchment
copy in his possession to the Li
brary of Congress.

Miss Irene Teagarden, Ameri
can missionary-principal of the
Girls’ School at Sidon, Syria, has
under preparation a textbook in
home economics in which Chris
tian, Mohammedan and Druse
women teachers are cooperating.
The volume will be in Arabic. It
is being discovered that Moham
medan men—who often object to
the education of their wives or
daughters—are favorable to the
teaching of home-making at the
Girls’ School; it is believed that
the good dishes prepared from
the recipes of Miss Teagarden and
her associates have “tickled” both
their appetites and their minds.

If the return of women to the
home after the war would assure
the removal of all our problems,
Judge Anna M. Kross, of the
Magistrates Court of New York,
would favor it. But she expresses
concern for the lack of willing
ness to assume responsibility, the
“let - George - do - it” philosophy
rampant among youth today, as a
reflection on the lack of training
offered by present-day homes.
“We have lost our capacity for
righteous indignation,” she said.
“We have failed in peacetime to
educate for citizenship . . The
delinquency problem is the resi
due of all our mistakes. Every
man, woman and child in the
courts is a barometer—an indica
tion that something is wrong
semewhere.” Stating that the
church must recognize the tempo
of modern life, the competition
cfft?.d by “honky-tonks, bars
and movies,” Judge Kross stressed
the need for churches to plan
constructively, to take the initia
tive in integrating home, church
and sthool from which stem all
social resources of the communi
ty.

Animal Husbandry
1. Plant Biloxi soy beans for
hog grazing. 2. Castrate pigs at
three to six weeks of age and use
pine tar to control screw worm.
3. Give suckling sows all they will
eat of well balanced ration. 4.
Shear sheep after the last cold
spell and dip entire flock im
mediately after shearing. 5. Cas
trate beef calves at four to ten
weeks of age, using the “Burdizzo’
pincers and thus prevent screw
worm • infestation. 6. Watch for
screw worm cases. Use pine tar on
the navels of new-born animals.
Dairying

The Superintendent of Native
Education, in the British govern
ment of Southern Rhodesia, Afri
ca, lias appealed to Bishop John
M. Springer and Superintendent
Henry I. James of the Methodist
Church in the Colony, to increase
the opportunity for the education
of African girls after the war—
including social service workers,
nurses and more teachers. “We
must have more native young
women trained for work among
women and children,” he says.
“We cannot raise the standards
of the people unless we can reach
their women and train them.’
Bishop Springer is hoping to se
cure a number of missionary fam
ilies and single women from Am
erica for this service.

(By Benj. W. Crouch)
100 acres of kudzu have already
been planted in the county this
year on 21 farms. Mr. Hemming-
er is harvesting his own crowns
from a small area of kudzu on
his farm. Mr. William Parker
was able to get enough crowns for
2 acres and has planted them
without any assistance. This is
a good start.
In order to establish a good
cover of kudzu it is necessary to
fertilize and cultivate this crop.
Most farmers have been under
the impression that kudzu would
take field without any help. This
is a false hope, as some of the
planters of the county have found
out. We must consider this plant
a crop and it should be treated
as such. But results have been
obtained by establishing a good
growth of kudzu on the bed the
first year and then let it fill in
between the rows the second year.
Let it be your goal to get the
rows covered this year.
