McCORMICK M£SSEJNi;^H. !VlH.Vl»H'i«» »v mm«TH CAlROi l<\ «■ T^nuary 25, McCormick School News “Don’t grieve about the Past or worry about the Future. The Present is the only thing that is real, so make use of it.” If the : resent time is used wisely, the Future takes care of itself. This < an be applied to those students who have used their time efficient ly. They do not worry about the ■end of a term because their work -J; done. Let each student plan to begin today to do his work regu larly, then test time will not Jbe dreaded. Responsibilities must^ot be shifted to someone else, 5?e have an individual task in this world. Are you using the Present lime foolishly? Chapel Mrs. Bertha Harris talked to our chapel group la£t week. She spoke vbout the choice of “Friends.” We enjoyed having her and hope that £he will come again soon. Mrs. George Dorn was another welcome visitor in our chapel last week.

Student Opinions: I think we should be more care ful of how we change classes and the way we leave school. School seems like we are more important and grown up when we are good. Danel New. I like our entertainment pro gram on the stage, but I believe that some modern screen, enter tainment would be appreciated. Robert Dillashaw. This year Mr. Weldon has made it possible for our school to have some form of entertainment once a month. Last month we had a movie, “So Red The Rose.” This month we’re having a stage show. These programs prove very educa tional to the students and we all enjoy it very much. Willie Mae Floyd. We have hed three activity pro grams this year and are planning to have the fourth this week. We all look forward to these programs because it is a break in our school work. Billie Freeland. Boiling lye water is pne pf the best cleansing agents. ^Be careful, though, in using it, and keep chil dren away from it.. Move brooder house to clean ground if possible. Check your brooder to see that it is in good 'condition and oper ating satisfactorily. Do this long enough ahead and install any new operating parts that may be need ed. Have your feed for the chicks on hand. Keep Jt in rat-proOf cans or bins. You will need about 7 or 8 lbs. of feed for each chick up to 12 weeks of age. If you have your ovSm corn and wheat you may mix your starting ration by this for mula—Start the chicks on it, and keep full feed hoppers before them all the time. 50 lbs. yellow corn meal, 25 lbs. wheat shorts, ' • 15 lbs. cotton seed meal, 1 lb. salt. When feeding this ration let the chickens out into the sunshine ev ery day. Give ^ them plenty of green feed. Keep fresh water be fore them. If you have skim milk give it to them. Start with good chicks, have brooding equipment ready and feed on hand before you get your chicks. While you are brooding the chicks keep house or coop, hoppers and fountains, very clean. If they are on the ground, it ■■should be clean ground with a good grazing crop, such as rape or rye, growing on it. .Matilda Bell, Co. Home Dem. Agent. -X- Brooding Chicks It is time now to prepare for brooding some early chicks. Placo your order for chicks early. The quality of chick you get is more important than the price of the chick. You can’t expect to get good strong chicks from blood- tested stock for a very low price. The “cheap” chick of poor livabil ity is the most expensive one in the end. • Have brooder house or coop and brooding equipment ready well be fore the date on which you get your chicks. Scrape, scrub, and thoroughly clean houses, coops, feed hoppers and water contain ers that have been used before.
