SUREST MEANS To
CONTROL DISEASE
Poultry Growers Should Be On
the Offensive Regarding
Bird Ailments.

Poultry raisers who wait until
disease appears in the flock and
then prepare to make a defensive
attack are likely 10 be successful
only in rare cases. BY far the best
plan, say poultry specialists OF the
u. 5. department of agriculture. is
to care for the flock in such a way
that disease VIII not appear. The
aim in controlling the diseases of
poultry is they add, to learn how
10 prevent them rather than how
10 cure them. To enlighten pOul
try owners as to the characteristics
of the more important diseases in
order that they may intelligently
use the most improved methods of
combating them, Farmers Bulletin
957, Important Poultry Diseases,
has recently been published by the
department. The causes. symptoms
and treatment of poultry ailments.
from aspergillosis (brooder pneu-
monia) to worms, are given in this
publication.
AS all poultry is susceptible to
many diseases. some of which are
highly infectious and resist all eff
forts of treatment. the bulletin sug-
gests that when birds become sick
il is often the best plan TO kill them.
The greater the number Of birds
kept upon any farm or plot of
ground, and the more they are
crowded together, the more i'm
portant are the measures for ex-
Guiding, eradicating and preventing
the development of the causes of
disease.
When disease appears among
poultry the fowls should be re
moved from the poultry yard and
a good coating of freshly slaked lime
be applied to the entire surface of
the ground, according to the bulle-
tin. After a few days it should be
plowed and then cultivated three or
four times at intervals of a week
and finally sowed with oats. rye or
other grain. 1t is best TO leave the
ground unoccupied by fowls until
the winter has passed. After the
fowls have been returned the pre-
misses must be frequently cleaned
and occasionally disinfected.
The drinking fountains and feed
troughs must be washed every week
with boiling water or other disin-
fectant and if any lice or mites
are found on the birds or in the
house. the roosts and adjoining parts
of the walls should be painted with
mixture of kerosene. one quart,
and crude carbolic acid or crude
cresol, one teacupful The house
may be whitewashed with freshly
lime or sprayed with kerosene emul-
sion. In case Of an actual outbreak
OF a virulent disease it is well to
add to each gallon of the whitewash
six ounces of crude carbolic acid.
Good disinfectants destroy the germs
of contagious diseases, the external
parasites such as lice and mites and
in some cases the eggs Of parasitic
worms. and should be used frequent
" in and about the poultry house.

which can be devised
The manufacturer has only a linn
tied opportunity to anticipate abnor-
NAL demand and he can lay in all
the stock which the government will
allow him. but local stocks rest al
most entirely with the foresight of
the dealer.
boarding of feeds or any other
commodity is discouraged by the
government. but the food admins
tration viii make rulings elastic
enough so that the local dealer
may be able to protect the interest
Of his customers.
In the past the local dealer has
been compelled to take much of his
farmer trade on long time" which
has strained his credit to the ut
most. Now is an excellent time 10
90 on a cash basis. In spite OF any
restrictions which the food admin
istration may put upon feeds. II the
at all times there will he little or no
danger OF a feed shortage such as
occurred last year.
Farmers should pay dealer cash
within IS hours OF the notice of its
arrival and should promptly take
the feed from the dealer within less
than a week This will allow the
dealer TO renew his stock 10 the
maximum at all times.
Farm bureaus and local CONNER
cial club should study this question
In order TO insure an adequate sup
ply When this ARA ngement is
made the local dealer can arrange
for continuous shipments from his
manufacturer.

CROP ESTIMATES
MADE FOR STATE
Oats, Corn, Wheat and Barley
Are Interesting Features of

The oats crop, with a total pro-
duction OF 7s.500.Ooo bushels is the
outstanding feature Of the October
crop report for Indiana issued by
George c. Bryant. field agent Of the
bureau OF crop estimates. United
States department Of agriculture
This is the largest crop ever pro-
duced iu the state and the quality
is exceptionally good. AT present
prices II represents value Of about
$50. 100000 to the farmers of the
state The report follows:
Reports received the hrst OF the
month indicate that the frost on

corn crop than was anticipated at
the time The drought during July
and August also contributed 20 the

spring wheat In the state the yield
averaged slightly better than win

better seed and more care in prepar-

However. many experts do not ad-

There was a better average yield

The fruit crops are almost a fail

orchards that received the best Of
care have any fruit.
The clover seed promise did not
materialize as expected. GrasshOp-
pers did much damage and unfavor-
able weather conditions after cutting
ruined much OF the crop.
All truck crops did fairly well and
were nearly all harvested before
frosts did any damage.

Another such Thanksgiving as the
day we shall observe this week has
not been known to the sons of men
since the Son of God rose, from the
dead. All the powers Of darkness and
unbelief have broken themselves, as
some one has said, on "the naked soul
of civilization" and we seem at the
dawning Of the most glorious period
in the worlds history. The Thanks
giving offerings at the various
churches for the orphan homes of the
State should be the greatest ever
given. All these institutions need
funds and there is no better way of
expressing our profound thanks for
deliverance from the awful fate that
menaces civilization.

FAIRS AND .CARNIVALS.

The Sandhill fair. held annually at
Pinehurst, is the most striking illus
tration we happen to know of the fact
that it is all mistake to suppose
that it is impossible to draw crowds
to fair without having in connec-
ton with it as a drawing card a
carnival of some kind br some freak
shows.
The editor of The Robesonian is in
debted to Mr.. A. T. Mclean OF Lum-
berton for the pleasure and profit of
a visit to the Sandhill fair Thursday
of last week. It was revelation to
him. We have had thesid for some
time that it is entirely practicable to
build up fair into a great annual in
stitution merely as an exhibit Of agri-
cultural products and livestock, with
inspiring and uplifting entertainments
by schools Of the county, rigidly ex-
cluding all carnivals with their cheap,
demoralizing shows, but we had never
seen the idea carried out until that
visit to the Sandhill fair. :.
That is a great institution unique
among fairs in that there is abso-
lutely nothing in connection with it
Tat could .aise a question in the mind
of the most straight-laced, unless, in
deed, the races might be considered
by some as better left off; but il
there was any gambling in connec:
tion with the races we failed to see
any evidence Of it. You are charged
an admission fee and that is the enc
Of your expense, unless you spend the
day there and buy lunch inside ,ths
grounds. There is absolutely nothing
inside the fair grounds to spend mon
ey for except for something Ito ca:
and drink. There are no merry-go
rounds, no Ferris wheels, no camou
flaged gambling schemes-no nothing
that leaves bad taste in your moutl
when you go to a fair where carni
val crowd meets you at every tur1
: with. its snowy promises that ar
!, broken the moment you part with you
. coin.
The Southern Berkshire congress. j
held in connection with the Sandhil
fair. Here one sees as fine Berk
-shires as can be seen anywhere i
America. Some Of the prize-winner
there Thursday were from Illinoi.
Ohio, and other Western states. w
understand that there was an exhib
tor there from California. Their
were hogs there from all over, as fin
as one would care to see.
The races were as fine as one woul
see anywhere.
A shooting exhibition by Ann:
Oakley was caution. She is the ou
shootingest woman at all. What 81
can't do with shooting piece of ar
kind, judging by what she did at tt
fair, is not worth doing. Not sing

The last general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
passed down to the annual conferences
the question of granting to women
all the rights that laymen have in the
church. It will become the law of the
church if three-fourths of the annual
conferences vote in the affirmative.
Last week the Western, North Caro-
lima conference voted to give the! !wom-
en- these rights, while the South Geor-
gia conference voted in the negative.
We do not know how many confer
ences have voted so far in the af-
firmative. This important question
will come, up at the session of the
North Carolina conference which con-
venes in Goldsboro December II, and
| our guess is that the brethren will
vote in favor Of admitting the WON
en- to full laiety rights. The Robe.
sonian does not believe the majority
of the women Of the church want
these rights; but it looks like the few
who do are going to force them upo1
those who do not.

SECRETARY BAKER SHOULD
SEND CAMPAIGN SPEECH
TO THE PRESIDENT

Washington. Jan. 9.--If Secretary
OF War Baker has any sense of hum
or he must get no end OF amuse-
ment out of reflection over some of
his campaign speeches of 1916. For
instance, when he went up into
Maine to tell the voters there of their
duty to re-elect the man who had
kept them out of war, he said: This
is the time when, having pressed
forward nobly on a high and diff
cult course, the finish should be left
to those who have demonstrated
their ability by their work already
done" In view of Bakers recent
frank admission of responsibility for
much of the delay in equipping the
army, it is impossible to imagine how
he would expect that the finish of
the war will be left to him as one
who had demonstrated his ability
by work already done" 1t was Gar
rson who demonstrated ability in
the Department of War, and Garri-
son was canned. Roosevelt, Wood,
Gardner and Fiske demonstrated
their ability, and they are in obs
curity so far as it is in the power
of the administration to obscure
them. Wont Mr.. Baker please send
the President copy of his stump
speech in the Maine campaign?
