of tbs nuisance. Take the old worn
out grease from the crankcase OF your
car. thin it down with kerosene and
spray it on the roosts as that is the
place mites spend most Of their time.
If this is done twice a year you Will
not be troubled with mites.
All broody hens which are not to be
set should be broken up immediate
", otherwise they will cut down your
percentage OF eggs production. They
should be taken off the nest the very
first night they are found and shut
up in well-ventilated broody coop
which should have. slat bottom SO
that the air will circulate up through
it.
Eggs are low in price but grain
and tankage are also low in price.
Continue to give your chickens Weii
balanced feed. If you stop feeding
dry mash you will notice drop IN
egg production.

NJ Won Know Your County Agent.

10 lOu huOW AVuA SVu-.Ss
with apologies to r. G. NewcomDer)
Do YOU seek your County Agent
when you're troubled, sick and blue,
Do you know that he is anxious
lust to lend hand to you?
DO you cheer your County Agent,
Ever shake him by the hand;
Show you're thankful for his efforts?
Let him know you understand?
Do you use your County Agent,
Do you give the man a show,
Does your farm present no problem
That perplex your neighbors so?
Do you know your County Agent,
And all the things that he can do,
Have you seen the demonstrations
OF the crops your County grew?
Do you tell your County Agent
When you make trial test,
or a crop that proves successful
So that he may tell the rest?
Do you see your County Agent,
When in doubt on what to plant?
Do you guess that he might help you
Or convinced he surely can't?
Do you feel your County Agent
Cannot do thing for you?
Why not write him, call or see him,
Just to learn what he can do?

Fertilizer Test Fields

Nine test fields have been put out
this past week in different parts OF
the county using the. different kinds OF
fertilizer, all having one or more OF
the three elements, ammonia, phos-
phate or potash in different percent
ages. On one field, which is a very
good average Of Delaware County soil,
six different kinds of fertilizer have
been put on, an acre of each. This
will be husked and weighed separate
" so exact yield may be determined
this fall. This field will be seen on
the Farm Tour June Gath.
We are fast coming to realize that
our soil in through this County IS
lacking in lime and PHOSPHORUS which
can only be supplied by applying
crushed lime rock or phophorous rock,
and when those elements are supplied
crops make quicker. more vigorous
start, heavier growth, bigger
weld and earlier maturity. Insects,
disease, root rot, ETC., are not SO COM
mon.

Housing


During the snow storm few weeks
ago many flocks had some chlckens
frosted, others killed and egg pro-
duction was cut down. II your poul-
try housing conditions are faulty try
to improve before next winter. Those
who haven't our plans for building
can obtain them by writing IN. These
will also help those who wish to re-
model their henhouses-
Any hen showing any signs Wnat-
ever Of sickness or weakness should
be taken from the flock at once. It
seldom pays to doctor sick hens. Ihey
seldom recover and the few that 90
may harbor disease. The safest policy
is to kill sick birds and burn them.
It may prevent heavy losses later.
There is no place on the average farm
for a chicken hospital, Here Is one
thing we have noticed: Those VINO
take pride in doctoring birds usually
have plenty Of birds to doctor.

The Value Of Club Work

n reveals the advantages OF farm
life to the boys and girls. It teaches
values Of farm commodities 70 the
members-for instance the fact that
= well bred calf finishes better than
: grade. 1t develops business ef-
ficiency, thought in keeping records,
business training and self reliance In
the members. 1t develop "stick-to-
ttiyeness' in the individual and fits
him for leadership and enables him
to express himself.
Club work in the community DEM
onstrates to the parents and the COM
munity the benefits OF better farm
and home practices, creates COM
munity pride (many people like to
sneak Of the honors their neighbor's
children have won), builds up bust
ness relationship between children and
parents, and makes possible bust
ness enterprise. 1t develops democ-
racy among the children and adds
dignity to the farm.
AS a social value it keeps children
in touch with one another and creates
friendly rivalry. 1t keeps the member
thinking about his project and Its re-
snIts and the farm children have a
real vacation whenever they can ex-
hibit at the Fair or attend short
course.

The Winslow mail., 1921-10-21

Winslow delegation attended
meeting of the Board of Supervisors
called at HOlb2ook last Monday. A
similar delegation had met with the
board some three weeks previously
and asked further consideration on
the location Of the road between
Winslow and the Indian reservation
as outlined in The Mail of last week.
Mondays meeting was devoted to
two different matters. The import
ant one of why the board failed to
keep their promise to the delegation
from Winslow and give further con-
sideration of the road was disposed
of by the board standing pat" and
refusing to give the people of Wins
low any further consideration in the
matter. The matter which was GUS
sed and discussed by the board and
the other speakers was the open ac
cusation that the enditor of the Mail
was wolf in Sleeps clothing, that
he was a fool that dared to rush
in where angels feared to tread:
that he was pulling the wool over
the eyes of the people of Winslow
The Winslow mail., 1921-10-21

and was leading them around in the
dark when he had only been in the
country seven or eight months. Of
course the statement as to our men
tai capacity may or may not be so
but we are reliably informed that
we are tenderfoot of some thirty
J ears residence in this Southwest
and we really feel hurt about the
misstatement as to the time of our
residence in this land of sage brush
and horned toads. However, if we
persevere, we may in time acquire
a residence somewhere out here in
this wild and woody west, but we
are still bothered to know the reason
why the board of supervisors want
to build road up into the hills
where it don't connect with anything
except it's own back track. 1t seems
like another case of fools treading
where a wise man wouldn't go.
Anyway, the Winslow people are
preparing to take legal action in
the matter to remedy the very un-
satisfactory stand taken by the ma
jority of the board of supervisors

A BAD PROPOSITION

A movement has been started to
raise the interest rate paid by Postal
Savings Banks from 2 to per cent.
The Postal Savings Bank Depart
ment of the Post Office was origi-
nally started primarily to furnish an
absolutely safe place for deposits of
money held by foreigners and peo-
pie of small means who either did
not understand or feared for the
safety of their funds in private banks
1t was not intended that the Postal
Savings Bank should compete with
or injure the American banking sys-
tenn. 1t has served it's purpose and
has drawn fl ON hiding millions of
dollars which would otherwise have
been kept in stockings, tin cans, etc.
The proposal to increase interest
rates to 3 per cent would, however,
disrupt our whole banking system.
and especially the smaller country
banks.
The Postal Savings Bank should
not compete in this manner as there
is no way in which private industry
can meet such government compe-
tition, except at increased cost of
operation which must eventually be
borne by the public. If private banks
have to pay more interest on savings
accounts, they will have to charge
more on the money they loan
The Postal Savings Bank in no
way takes the place of the private
bank from the standpoint of bust
ness accommodations but by raising
its interest rates on savings it can
force the private bank to meet these
rates at the expense of the public

Electric power is the most con-

Nations which lack power devel-
opment in some form fail to pro

applies to smaller divisions of any
country.
Power development. community de-

ment go hand in hand.
