We understand there is big blackboard around
somewhere where '"Today's Liberals" are listed A
fellow can go there from time to time and tell just
exactly where he stands.
Well, Jimmy Lands, about whom we were wor-
red, was listed as Liberal the last day he worked
here before going off to Harvard as dean Of the
law school. This is tantamount to his being the
proud possessor of gold card making him Lib
eral for life, just like the gold card that Hugo
got from the Ku Klux Khan.

But there were several weeks on the board when
Jimmy was listed as Royalist-or worse, Lib
eral who had gone over to the enemy. It was sew
eral months ago. AS head of the SEC he voted
with a corporation in the matter of permission
to float stock ISSUE in very controversial case.
The commission split three to two on it.
Immediately the word went out from the Liberal
classifers that Jimmy had gone back on his
crowd. Liberal magazines had articles about his
offense It looked as if he were to be made to walk
the plank
But in couple of weeks he grabbed the oppor-
tunity to become Liberal again. He issued state

It is time to think about home
vegetable gardens, says Lee A..
Somers, extension specialist in veg

In listing the secrets Of success in
the production Of vegetables in the
home garden, Somers asserts that
it pays to locate the garden in a.
spot that is fertile, well drained
and free from shading. It is also
important that the size of the plot
be sufficient to permit ample plant
ings Of a full assortment Of
vegetables without crowding. i
Orders for seeds, fertilizers, fun
gicides and insecticides may well:
be placed in advance of the planting
season. It is recommended that seed
selection be limited to the best va
rieties and to most vigorous seeds
and plants Of these varieties. AS
soon, as the garden is planned, the
seed order can be placed with a,
reliable seed house. ]
Much garden seed is planted far.

Control of Lice
on Cattle Urged
Long Haired Stock Suffers
From Insects; Breed in
Cold Weather.

BY =. :. Perry. Extension Dairyman. New
Jersey College g Asriculture.
Lice breed most rapidly in cold
weather on .long-haired livestock
and frequent examination Of dairy
cattle and prompt treatment Of In
Tested animals are necessary to pre-
vent the pests from retarding
growth OF young stock and reduc-
ing the milk flow in the producing
herd.
Although the presence Of lice on
long-haired live stock is nearly uni
versal, their prevalence depends =
great deal upon the state Of nutri
ton Of the an. al and the extent
to which the owne1 will tolerate the
parasites.
The two main groups Of lice at
fecting cattle are the sucking lice
and the biting lice. OF the two
forms, the sucking lice r the
more injurious. The three common
species are the short-nosed, suck
ing blue louise, the long-nosed, suck
ing blue louise, and the biting red
louise. Sucking lice are large in
size and have pointed heads and
blue bodies, while the biting louise
is smaller with q yellowish-white
body and q broad, round. reddish
head.
A louise passes its whole life on
the animal. It lays eggs on the
hair near the skin, where they hatch
in about two weeks, and then two
weeks later the young females be-
gin laying eggs. The locations pre-
ferred by sucking lice are the head,
the sides Of the neck, the back
and the inner surface Of the thighs.
The biting lice are usually on the
withers and the base Of the tail
but they may be discovered On 9TH
er body parts. Among the common
symptoms r rubbing, licking,
restlessness and loss Of hair.
A thorough spraying or wash with
four to five per cent creolin solu-,
tion or any Of the coal tar prepara-s
tons is effective in controlling lice.
Nicotine sulphate also destroys lice
when diluted with water so that the
solution contains not less than five
one-hundredths Of one per cent Of
nicotine. Raw linseed oil can also
De used to great advantage and can
be applied in cold weather. One
pint, when put on with a stiff bursh,
will treat four or five cows. Since
it is difficult to destroy the eggs,
there should be at least two appli-
cations at Today intervals to make
SURF that all newly Matched lice will
be killed. The animals should be
inspected for a time after the sec
ond application to determine wheth-
er q third one is necessary. Vigor-
Gus daily grooming with a stiff
brush is an important step against
fnfestation. A. >
