H-D COLUMN By MISS ETHEL L. COUNTS Treat for Lice and Mites At this time of year many poultry raisers are culling, blood testing, and housing their pullets. Unless the birds have been treated for lice and the roosting quarters for mites, with in six months, they are almost cer tain to be infested with these harm ful parasites. Lice stay on the birds at all times and to destroy them the bird" should be treated with sodium fluorine dust or by applying a nicotine sulphate base compound to the perches one hour before the birds go to roost, making sure that all the birds get on the perches that another application is made within 10 days to destroy the lice from the eggs that have hatched during this period. Also, nicotine sulphate compounds have been found to give excellent results by individual treatment when one application is made from a small oil can, placing a drop in the fine feathers on the fluff, a drop in the feathers under each wing, and a drop in the feathers on the back of the neck.

Half-Price Agents, Salesmen Wanted Everywhere Fink Fireworks Co Box 114, Dayton, O. ^Thorough cleaning of the h-use and spraying with a cresol spray or some other effective method is neces sary to get the mites since the mites stay in the house in the daytime, hid ing in concealed places, and infect the birds mostly at night. Garden work for October Japanese foliage turnip is an excel lent vegetable and all gardeners are urged to try it this fall. It is some times listed as Shogoin. Do not for get to plant Tendergreen or mustard spinach. Both of these vegetables will stand lots of hot, dry weather and are very vigorous growers when the season is at all favorable. Ex periences of some gardeners indicate that they are also very resistant to plant lice. Gather the mature lima beans every week and store them away for win ter use. Continue cultivation in the gar den to promote continuous tender growth, which is so desirable. Are you growing your own cabbage plants for early spring setting? Seed should be sown by the end of Septem ber or early October in open furrow. Do not use a fertilizer having an ex cess of nitrogen, which will develop very tender plants. Work out the strawberry patch if this has not already been done. Cul tivate thoroughly and fertilize im mediately with a 5-7-5 fertilizer. Sweet potatoes should be dug before first frost. The prevalent idea that the vines should be frosted before the potatoes are dug is unsound. Make plans to select your see dat dig ging time. Lettuce sown in cold frames will give a late fall crop. In S. C. when you say “greens” you mean turnip tops. Spinach is an especially good addition to the diet of children. Ma ture green tomatoes properly stored just before the frost kills the leaves wil furnish slicing tomatoes rar into the winter. Cultivate and fertilize the vines onw and keep them healthy until frost. Nitrate of soda may be desirable. AN AMEICAN SPEAKS I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American; and I intend to perform the duties incumbent upon me in that character to the end of my career. I mean to do this with absolute disregard of personal consequences. What are the personal consequences? What is the individual man, with all the good or evil tha't may betide him, in compari son with the good or evil which may befall a great country, and in the midst of great transactions which concern the country’s fate? Let the consequences be what they will, I am careless. No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer, or if he fall, in the defense of the liberties and the Constitution of his country. —Daniel Webster. NYA LOWER AGE LIMIT FOR YOUTH TRAINING Miss Jean Copeland, a student at Shorter College, Rome, Ga., spent the weekend with her mother, Mrs. O. O. Copeland on Main Street. Miss Pauline Summer of Winthrop College spent the weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Summer. The grand lodge offered to pay for transporting the children from Europe as well as the costs of car ing for and educating them. The National Youth Administration has dropped its age limits from 18 years of age to 17, on account of the importance of the National Defense Program and the part the NYA plays in training youth. Boys and girls will now be given work experience and training if they have passed 1 their 17th birthday. All unemployed boys and girls in New berry county who are now 17 and not enrolled in schools should visit the NYA office located on Boyce street. It is necessary that they are accom panied by one parent. HE PAID FOR SPACE, AND TRIED TO USE IT, TOO Cleveland, O.—The story is told here of a drunken man who put a nickel in a parking meter, then lay down in the curb space beside it and went to sleep. He was arrested and, when arrained in court next day, pro tested. “I paid tor that parking space,” he said. An unsympathetic judge gave an opinion that the park ing regulation governed automobiles, not humans, and fined him.
