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.

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.”

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,
