BOOZER to leave two frames out of the new hive with new foundation in lit so that the young bees can d tied out of the box. After the new hives are ready, one good method of transferring is to smoke the old hive or hollow log, tap on it a little bit and give the bees time to fill their honey sacks. Then move the old hive 10. to 15 feet, and put the new one in its place : with the front door as near a^ possible where the old one was. Leave the two frames without foundation comb out of the hive; then turn the old hive upside down and put a cardboard box ov er it. With two sticks tap on the old hive and smoke at the bottom. The bees will crawl out of the old hive into the box. Then you can easily pour them into the new hive. Tear the sides off the old hive Cut out the comb and the largest pieces with working bee cells and young bees, and fit and tie into the frames left out of the hive. x The total value of new methods' Ceiling price on chickens, fryers of better farming depends on the and broilers, is 39 cents per pound, number who follow them faithful- according to the local War Price ly- and Ration Board. * 4 From a report I have, I wish t* warn you that the “Boll Weevil” will be with us this year in a great er number than of last year. Very little poisoning was done last year, and as a result of very favorable weather conditions, a good crop was harvested. Don’t let this fool you into not poisoning. You caa remember when brother “Boll Weevil” just about got all our cot ton. Arrange for your molasses and arsenate at once. Mr. Joe Christian has some of the best oats in the county. Fer tilizing at time of planting is the secret. All of our small grains need rain but are still a very promising crop. If you haven’t signed up for the 5 acre cotton contest do so at once as we have a 1st prize of $50.0» and second prize of $25.00 to be given to the highest producers here in the county. This is new —county prizes. Study the letter rpailed you and see how much money your farm can earn. Then make arrange ments to earn all this money. Don’t let these dollars go back t® Washington. The 100 acres of kudzu recently planted in this county are making splendid progress.

Legion-backed nines the nation over, said to out-number the 25w- 000 in the 1944 competition, ane poised to start play within weeks. Expectations are that at least 4ft states and the District of Colum bia will be represented in the race for the national toga won last year by a team of the Robert E. Bent- ey Post No. 50 of Cincinnati. At no time in the 17-year run of Legion baseball have Ford deal ers and other sponsors pledged such material aid to the teams. “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” Tennyson. The poet has pointed out one of the great truths which we some times forget. Our lives lack tha’ sense of perspective and that driv ing power which we need to mak us dynamic forces for good in our community and the world simply because we have lost our convic tion about the efficacy of prayer. Instead of inviting God into our ives to guide and use us, we at tempt to make our own decisions As a result, our lives count for sc little when they really ought tc count for something worthwhile.
