Selected Poem
THE LITTLE TOWN OF DEwYRosE

Agnes Kendrick Gray in the New York Times
found upon the map a town,
The little town of DewyroSe go.
have not seen 1t in the gold
OF autumn, nor in winter SHOWS.
have not journeyed there in spring
When dogwood spreads her bridal veil;
Nor watched, among magnolia trees,
The summer moonlight burn-and pale
I have not visited the town
That bears name so delicate;
do not know its streets and lanes,
Its wealth or poverty Of state.
What smiling settler Of the South,
His spirit touched with poetry,
Rejecting rough or sober names.
Chose this enchanting imagery
I cannot tell; but this is true:
1t lifts and stirs the heart that knows
That on this torn and troubled earth
There is town named Dewyrosel

PRODUCTION COSTS
ARE DAIRY BUGABOO
Proper Choice of Feeds
Results in Saving.
BY r. II. RUFFNER

Low production costs are essential
for profitable dairying, as for any
other business, and the ability to
choose and use feeds properly helps
materially to reduce costs, accord
ing to the animal husbandry and
dairying department OF North Caro-
Ina State college.
Live stock farmers should take a
tip from the automobile industry,
which has lowered production costs
by at least Is per cent in the past
20 years, thereby making cars avail
able to millions of Americans.
Dairymen can reduce the cost of
their products and make them avail
able to more people by studying the
advantages and limitations of feeds
and their relative values.
A wide variety of satisfactory
feeds are available for dairymen to
choose the combinations which are
most efficient and economical in bal
anced rations.
Among the low-protein, or carbo-
hydrate feeds are corn meal,
ground threshed grain sorghums,
ground or rolled barley, hominy
feed, ground wheat, or ground rough
rice. About one-fifth to one-fourth
more of the following bulkier feeds
should be used when they are sub
stituted in the ration: Ground ear
corn with shuck, ground gram. sor-
ghum heads, and corn and cob meal.
Excellent feeds that give best re-
suits when they make up one-fourth
to one-third of the total ration are
ground oats, wheat bran, rice bran,
and alfalfa meal or other good quail
ity legume hays that have been fine
ly ground. These may be used in
terchang eably in dairy mixtures.

Watch Sleeping Sickness
Among Horses, Is Advice


The division of animal pathology
and hygiene at the University of
Illinois college of agriculture, Ur-
bana, offers this advice for pro-
tecting horses and mules from Sleep
ing sickness:
In infected areas, keep the ami
mails in screened stables.
Use burlap or muslin fly covers
on animals at work and spray them
with an insect repellant.
Keep stables clean.
Vaccinate animals early, so they
will develop strong immunity.
Staff members of the division said
only about one of every four animals
in an exposed area develops the dis
ease and about eight of every ten
infected horses can be saved with
prompt treatment.
The disease is seasonal, appear
ing in July or August and continuing
until the first killing frost It is be-
lieved to be carried by mosquitoes,
although biting flies also are sus-
pected of transmitting it.

Often we hear the expression
that the town needs a general
face-lifting and cleaning, but aft
Ell a visit to the cemetery in East
Clintwood on Memorial Day, we
offer the suggestion that the citi-
zens Of the town join together
and beautify this sacred and final
resting place of the citizens of the
town.
1t is true that many Of the
graves were cleaned and decorat-
ed, but the cemetery as whole
looked rather ragged. Sawbriars
and sassafras bushes prevailed in
many burial plots and the ceme-
terry had not been raked for a
year We offer the suggestion that
the citizens of the town of Clint
wood, each make a monthly or an
nual donation for the purpose of
employing some workman to care
for the cemetery. It is true that
our tax levy in the corporation is
sufficiently high, but a levy Of G
few cents additional could provide
such a fund.

Some go varieties of celery are
cultivated in the United States.
With other things equal, the larg-
er cows within a breed produce
more milk and make more profit
than smaller ones, according to ami
NAL husbandry specialists.
Commercial Gamers decided there
may be some merit in production
control since they went into The

Is, 657, 600 cases of the 1887 sweet
corn crop. They will try an exper-
irnent this season to control the
amount of sweet corn to be canned.
A crop rotation of alfalfa, corn
and wheat leaves the soil in the
same condition as it was at the
beginning of the four years. There
will be no gain or loss in soil produc-
tivity through the production of
these crops.
The dairyman who realizes that
his pastures are just as much of a
crop as anything else on the farm
and require fertilizer and care to
maintain high level of productivity
will find his grazing land to be both
time-and- money-saver during the
grazing season.

axes and Recovery

1t may be assumed that the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, in submitting to the House
Ways and Means Committee certain
recommendations for revision of the
existing Federal tax structure, have
expressed the prevailing viewpoint
OF the majority of organized business
men. That being the case, their
opinions merit the serious attention
of the committee members if the diff
ficult task of tax revision is being
undertaken with any serious inten-
tion of removing deterrents to busi-
ness improvement and industrial
expansion.
In brief, the two groups stressed the
necessity to repeal Immediately the

removed to make what we build satisfy

moral training Is more important than

accompany and regulate the habits of
the aspiring youth. How far our educa-

question
One OF the leading journalists Of

This judgment is widely shared. Re-
ligion has relevance when rightly inter-
preted and 1t has practical value where
the large concerns of life are involved.
That 1t begins in the home is conspicu-
ously true. It's elemental imperatives,'
its clearly defined rules for the regula-

tenance of right human relations, these
must lie behind the trained mind, giving
it poise and direction. The well-earned
diploma brings deserved satisfaction and

than witness to mental fitness, it is in

leader of old was, "Who art thou?"
What sayest thou of thyself?" 1t sug-
gests the sentrys challenge. 1t is this
searching inquiry that the world con-
sistently makes, and it must be an

aptitude, readiness to serve, these are
essential, but with them those things
that witness to strong moral worth are
indispensable.
