H-D COLUMN By ETHEL L. COUNTS Carlessness Wastes Eggs Needed for Defense Food. Carelessness in handling eggs for market lost 5 per cent of the United States egg production in 1939. This loss represented 175 million dozen eggs with a cash value of nearly 30.5 million dollars. Careful handling means more eggs for food supplies of this country and other democracies, and additional income for poultry pro ducers. The steps in producing quality eggs on the farm are simple and can be followed without additional expense. The steps include: (1) Providing the flock with the proper quality food for good eggs. (2) Keeping a deep, clean litter on the poultry house floor. (3) Providing plenty of clean nests, at least one to every five hens. (4) Pro ducing infertile eggs for the market. This will require removing the male birds from the flock as soon as the hatohing season is over. (5) Gathering eggs frequently, to reduce the num ber of dirty eggs. (6) Cooling eggs as soon as they are gathered, to as near 50 degrees as possible, to prevent spoilage. Never place warm eggs in the case. Keep Mash Before Hens. Many poultrymen make' the mis take of discontinuing feeding mash to hens in the spring and summer months. This is the wrong things to do as eggs contain a high percent of protein and the hen must make the egg from the feed given her. Hence, if the hen is given only corn, which contains very little protein, then one should' not expect a great many eggs. The way to cut the cost of feed is by disposing of hens that stop laying early in the spring and summer and feeding the ones that continue to lay. A hen will make money during the summer if she continues to lay. On the other hand, she cannot produce eggs unless a well balanced ration is given her. Many farmers find it impossible or impracticable to move the brooder house to new ground before starting the chicks. Where this is the cas«, an alternative is to keep the chicks in the brooder house and on .a wire plat form as long as they require heat. When the pullet chicks no longer re quire heat they should be moved to range shelters and allowed to grow out on clean ground. This is one of the best assurances of having heal thy pullets to put in the laying house in the fall. Frequently farmers will do a good job of brooding but will allow the pul lets to use the same range that was used the previous year with appar ently good results. The pullets will seem to be healthy during the grow ing period and the farmer thinks his fock has escaped coccidiosis and worms. Too often, however, pullets grown on such ground begin to show signs of chronic coccidiosis and worms when they begin to come into production. In many cases the pullets will be gin to go lame, lose control of one or both wings, and develop gray .eyes, eventually going blind. All of these symptoms are characteristic of range paralysis. It is not definitely known whether range paralysis Can be pre vented by sanitation, but it is the only practical way that farmers have of guarding against this dreaded di sease. If one has never had trouble from coccidiosis, worms, or paralysis it is no assurance that he will not. Once thte premises get heaWlV infested with disease germs and parasites there is great danger of tracking these troubles to new ground. A combination of coccidiosis, worm infestation, and parlysis or a serious outbreak of either is about equal to a loss of one year’s income, plus a lot of worrying and hard work. In most cases it will be much less burd ensome to spend time and money pro viding range shelters on clean gt«und than to suffer an outbreak of one or more of these troubles. Plans for constructing a range shelter are giv en in Extension Circular 116. No Moving Parks! No machanical defects When your jice is put in your ice refrigerator, you can forget it!

Phone 155 Immediate Delivery Farmers Oil Mill Belgian Tells of Nazi Rule (By Leola Garety in News & Courier) “Before their country collapsed last summer, gray-haired French World war veterans filled the streets of Par is, going to war a second time, un certain, mis-led, and confused,” de clared Prince DeChimay, member of the Belgian nobility, on a recent visit here. Prince DeChimey explained how he had visited in the United States, before the present war began. Hav ing just reached military age at the outbreak of war, he returned to v :is native land to do his part in its defense against the insurgent Nazis. Before he reached the stage of front line action, Belgium fell to the Germans. He immediately set out for France, where he enlisted in labor battalions. When France, in her turn, surrendered to Hitler, the prince was engaged in this work. “Frenchmen, nowhere, knew what they were fighting for,” DeChimay said. “To them patriotism meant Fascism, socialism, meant Moscow, and democracy had been gone for a long time. They were forbidden to telephone out-of-town or telegraph out of what we here would call “counties”. Spring was as romantic as ever in Paris, however, and people liked the “pihony” war, he said. One morning the prince was astonished to hear the Belgian national an them broadcast in the middle of a radio program Inquiring, he learn ed it meant invasion of his coun • | try. Before leaving for home to re port for army duty, he assisted in aiding refugees who were arriving in Paris by the trainifuls, their cars' riddles by bullets. Many passengers were dead when they were removed by railroad officials. Trying in vain to reach Belgium, Prince DeChimay was put to work in a French bomb factory after a brief stay in a concentration camp. There, with other workmen, he was paid two dollars a month with -room and board. When clothes wore out, it was impossible to buy others. Un able to subsist on this salary, many laborers quit the factory. “As a result of Kh.g Leopold’s sur render in the early summer, I suffer ed unjust criticism and * 1 humiliation in France, as did all Belgians,” Prince DeOhimay related. “It was not until much later that we’learned the Rey- naud’s condemnation of our King was unfair, since the Belgian commander- in-dhief took the only remaining course open to him, in capitulating; “I was in Vichy on August 10 when Petain called both houses of representatives together to kill what was left of the French Republic. Eighty members voted against the act. They are all in concentration camps.” On a secret visit to occupied France later in August, the prince found the food much better in Bordeaux than in unoccupied area. This, he believes, was due to the fact that a year’s advance supply was on hand there. Ration cards were given citizens, though at first they were not strictly enforced. “Ham sold for $10 per pound; gasoline for $2.50 a gallon,” he stat ed. “It was looting time. Money flow ed freely. Gold, long saved in socks, came out.” The official French ration earn, ac cording to De Chimay, is as follows: Ten ounces of bread a day (though two pounds a day); one pound of sug ar a month; eight ounces macaroni a month; one and a half ounces cheese a month; thirteen ounces fats per month; four ounces soap a month; and one pint of milk a day for' chil dren under four years of age. People began buying food to store up against harder times in the fu ture. Consequently, much of it spoiled while needy folk were unable to purchase enough to fight hunger. Buying slowed in September. Foreign currencies, jewediy, and gold, each in their turn, caught the public fancy as investments. Many diamonds sold for $3,000 a carat,'the Belgian prince re vealed. “How did the French react to their defeat at Hitler’s hands?” was ask ed of Prince De Chimay. “Fbr the first few months they were stunned,” he said. “Then they gradually turned back to their old ally, England. Vive de Gaulle posters covered the walls, and men and women alike wore the cross of Lorraine, symbolizing the Free French Forces.” Receiving a scholarship to FVir- man university at Greenville, where he is now a student, de Chimay left France in order to sail from Spain for the United States. “When I reached Barcelona, which had been the second gayest city after Paris in all Europe, the destruction of the civil yar was still visible. Peo ple were even worse off there than in France. They don’t even get tobacco. Although I was invited to have sup per in one of the best restaurants in town, where we had everything we could wish for, the bill was $10 per person. “But I was to see something worse in Madrid. The display windows of food stores were packed with supplies while little beggars stood in front waiting for some one to throw a pen ny. Nobody but rich people could af ford the food. “In the subway I saw a young couple throwing themselves under a train. A guide who was with me told me it was the usual thing that it happened every week The week be fore, a family with two children had done the same thing. You could see children lying on the sidewalks, filthy full of lice, almost naked, shivering from the bitter cold. Some of these children would fall asleep, and after two or three days a phalangista would come along and kick them in the ribs nothing would happen. They were dead. “To be back in America, to become free once more, to be among civilized beings, to be in the country I tove, seemed to me in those first days a dream,” he concluded. Prince De Chimay is studying at Furman, where he is preparing him self to qualify as a teacher. He plans to take out American citizenship pa pers immediately ^nd “beocme a real Southerner.” STOP!

YOUR HARTFORD AGENT 1111 Boyce Street—Public Square SAYS EARLY TOMATOES ARE ENORMOUSLY PROFITABLE Below is a letter written to the News and Courier by a Northern man, which sets out the possibility of large profits from early tomatoes. The raising of tomato plants in this section would perhaps be just as pro fitable as tens of thousands are ship ped in every year, and there is no question but that they can be raised successfully with but little expense, and even with crude preparation as suggested in this letter.—Ed. “Here are three facts about ripe to matoes. Will not a few South Car olina farmers take advantage of the stories ? Half ripe tomatoes, of not too fine quality, are selling right here in Westchester county, N. Y., for thirty cents a pound. That is about ten cents for the average tomato. While doubtless tomatoes are not quite ripe in South Carolina in your gardens, I see no reason why a ripen ing of tomatoes could not be speeded up so as to take advantage of the enormeus profits to be made on early crops. If this could be done, or if even your regular garden crop Could be set out earlier in the spring, and thus capture the early high-priced market up North, it would represent a great gain for truck farmers in South Carolina. Or I could sugest an even better proposition for a South Carolina farmer. Build yourself a glass-covered green-house. Set out your young plants in March, or even in February, in said house, and gar ner your crop by June 1, or the middle of June. The profits you could make would amply repay the outlay for building the green-house. The early bird not only catches the worm, but in this case the early crop gets the money. Many farmers should be able to build their own green-houses and save a lot of expense. These need be only rude affairs, the main item Being to see that the plants are cov ered over from frosts. Even manure is sometimes used to generate heat inside - these houses. Here are two illustrations: A farmer named- Ott, living eleven miles from Camden, N. J., set out 25,000 tomato plants in a long, low, narrow glass covered frame. He kept the heat going by putting some manure at one end. Later I think he burned a small v oil stove in the same. One year he took fill,000 profits off this farm in tomatoes. He got some years $1.25 a basket for them. That is for a peach-bas ket size. I knew Ott, was on his farm. That is a fact. In Mississippi it was found farm ers could make more money out of raising tomatoes than raising cot ton. Will not some farmers down there look into the prospects fbr making some good money out of tomato rais ing, striving for an early market? Ott died rich. His table over flowed. I never ate such meals as those of Ott. Ott died, but his fam ily carry on, E. L. T. Pleasantville, N. Y. KENDALL MILLS LUTHERAN Rev. J. B.
