Cheap Crops Gone Forever"

H. J. Waters, president, in his talk
on The Essentials Of Rural Progress"
before the farmers at the Johnson
county roundup censured the farm
ers for not tilling their land more
thoroughly and intimated that they
were loafing on their job of feeding
the people of the country. He said,
however, that the high cost of living
was not a new proposition to the hu
man race, but was as old as the race
itself He prophesied that the cost of
food products as they were twenty
years ago had gone never to return.
It was his opinion that intensive farm
ing was not the cure for the high cost
of food products. He favored the in
teIligent use of labor saving machin-
cry instead He made a plea that the
government furnish safe and ade-
quate means of supplying money to
the agriculturist at a cheap rate of
interest

SEEMED LIKE A REFLECTION
Under the Circumstances Doctor
Needed Strong Sense of HUmor to
Avert = Rrainstorm.

A certain doctor, who is, on his own
frank admission, the ugliest man in
four Counties has a keen sense of
humor which enables him to enjoy
many real and unconscious reflections
upon his facial deficiencies.
Once, after he had arrived too late
to succor a poor woman who had been
killed in a factory, the local newspa-
per published an ambiguous account
of the case, which the doctor, with
grim appreciation, preserved.
Having first described how the wom-
an had come by her injuries, the para
graph went on to say:
Strong hopes were entertained of
saving her life until Doctor P ar
rived; but these hopes unfortunately
proved ill-founded, for the moment
the doctor showed his face within the
door the poor woman fell back with a
gasp and expired"

SPOT THE LAYERS IN THE FARM FLOCK
AND THEN ELIMINATE THE LOAFERS

Producing Hens Says the State Agri-
cultural College Expert

f Poultry Husbandry, K. S. A. CT
those who have given the matter con-
siderable attention to select by type.
There has been no general agreement
as to what the egg type is. How.
then, is the farmer to select the
layers and eliminate the Ioafers.
In the first place, it goes almost
without saying, that in order to stand
up under the strain of heavy produc-
ton a hen must have a good constitu-
ton. A dozen eggs should weigh
pound and a half. In some states
the weight is set by law. A hen that
lays twelve dozen eggs has to eat
enough food, grind. digest and assim-
iiate it to make three times her own
weight in eggs. While a good many
points may be taken as indicating
good constitutions, the hens comb is
her health certificate. 1t should be
well developed and fiery red. No
enc ever saw a hen that was helping
to fill the egg basket that wore pale
and shrunken comb The beak should
be short and well curved, the eyes
bright and prominent Anything ap-
preaching a crow head" should be
looked upon with suspicion. The big
layer generally has a long body that
Is deep in front and deeper yet be
hind. This is natural, for the eggs
are manufactured in the back part OF
the body and the hen that has several
eggs growing at once needs the room.
At the same time your healthy, vigor-
Gus layer is going to have her toe
nails worn off nearly down to the
quick, because when she isn't on the
nest she is hustling for something out
of which to make more eggs. Right
in this same connection you can put
it down that the two or three hens
that are still scratching around after
the sun has gone down and all the
others hens are on the roost, are the
ones that will give the largest records
if you but go to the trouble of trap
nesting. They are in constant need
of raw material to make the finished
product, eggs.
1t is equally true that the hens that
sit around all day or go to roost early
are the ones that are keeping your
states average production so low
When a hen lays an egg she repro
duces herself. a hen will reproduce
herself most when she is happy and
contented. When she is happy and
contented she will sing There's more
truth than poetry in saying that the
singing hen is the laying hen
It's just common every day hen
sense. The reason at the bottom of
the average egg production of the
limited States bpinU for hollow 1O0
eggs is not that she has so few good
layers. She has lots of them The
trouble is that she has a lot of crow
headed, dull eyed, shrunken. pale
cOmbed, short, shallow bodied, long
cIawed individuals sitting around do
ing nothing that should have been
turned over to the local produce
dealer long ago.

Public Health Day.

The State.
After two years OF solicitation by
the department OF health OF the state
federation OF the state board of
health has set November Is as the
public health day In South Carolina.
This means that an urgent wish or
organized club women has finally
been brought to pass. Now how shall
the first public health day be OBJ
served in your community? How
will you make it mean better health
for your town?
DR.. CAN'T thinks an excellent plan
is that club presidents arrange for an
local school superintendent for an
observance by the children, having
them either listen to some lecture on
a pertinent top.c by some local physi-
ian or having them writc compost
situation, in case the Supcrinten-
dents are not willing, then have a
meeting of children and parents in
the school house at night, and some
physician secured for lecture. Ply
sicians all over the state are glad to
give their service free for such work.
And the opening OF school houses at
night as community social centers is
one OF the things urged by the gen.
eral federation.
Anyway observe public health
day in the way that seems best suit
ed to local needs. But just be sure
that it is observed. This would be
splendid time for club women to
carry out at their meetings the very
practical program prepared by DR..
Grant, and lately published in these
columns. DR. CAN'T has done more
than her share In the securing OF
this day and preparations OF pro-
gram. Now, to be very slangy, "its
up to YOU" individual club women.
What will you do with this oppor-
tunity?
