Hints Are Given
On Building Ponds

Probably more farmers in the Brown
Loan area of Holmes county have gone
out of the livestock business due to
an insufficient amount of clean drink
ing water for their cattle than for any
other reason. Alabama Experiment Sta
tion data has shown that even though
COW gets plenty of grass to eat, she
will lose in weight and milk production
if plenty of clean drinking water is not
available. Many diseases are caused and
spread from cows drinking water from
contaminated ponds. Such ponds are
usually muddy and often unfit for
drinking purposes.
Since we have only a small number of
springs and running streams in Holmes
county, farmers will have to rely on
ponds as a means of furnishing water
for their cattle. The points to be con-
sidered in selecting a pond site are:
Soil type, drainage area, size of pond,
with sufficient depth. Sandy soil sites
should be avoided heavy clay is most
desirable. The drainage area should be
we'll vegetated in order to keep the pond
from sitting in. Where ponds are too
shallow cows wade out into the pond and
keep it muddy and contaminated with
diseases that they might have. A deep
pond with minimum amount Of shallow
water will eliminate this condition.
A pond may be used successfully for
fish production in connection with cat
tie water supply. From 100 to 200
pounds Of fish per acre per year may
be produced on well stocked ponds that
are not fertilized; 300-400 pounds may
be produced where s00-1000 pounds Of
complete fertilizer is used. Beginning
in April or May eight or ten weekly
applications Of 100 pounds Of 6-8-4
mixture supplemented by ten pounds Of
Nitrate of Soda per acre should be ap-
nlied

Make Better Health
Your Gift This Year
BY DR.. Donald Cooper, Canton

by Ut. DOnaiQ OOOpeTs SdutuH
Too often in the joyous excitement
Of giving to others we fail to remember
ourselves. At the close Of a trying
year we are frequently fearful Of the
months ahead because our nerves are
frayed and our vitality is low. There
is invariably some organic or systemic
cause behind debility and nervousness;
and we owe it to ourselves to consult
a reputable doctor and rebuild our
energies in strict accordance with his
program.
The chiropractor is the only doctor
who can supply you with the structural
basis for health. He provides you with
freedom for structural displacements,
and therefore an unrestricted nervous
system. You have not given your body
all the help that can be rendered until
you have received a spinal examination
by one who is expert in this field-the
chiropractor, and permitted him to make
all the necessary corrections.
The holiday season is especially con-
venient for teachers because their long
vacation allows them time to remain for
remedial treatment, If necessary, fol-
lowing the diagnosis. Sales people
usually experience dull season hight
after the Christmas festivities. No
time could suit them better than mid
winter.

Strict Social Controls
BY the Associated Press,


GEARHART, Oreg., June 18-The
president of the American Bankers
Association warned yesterday that
the United States should not relax
social controls" if it wants to escape
the fate of Europe's democracies.
Robert M. Hanes of Winston
Salem. NJ c., in an address at the
opening of the 65th annual conven-
tlon of the Oregon State Bankers
Association, said these controls were
relaxed in the European democracies
and "as result, they were unable
to stand the assault of the total
itarian states, which had been build
ing during all that time"
Hanes did not explain social con-
trolls" but asserted that preceding
the destruction of the democratic
attitude" in some European nations
Revolutionary doctrines" were al
lowed free rein, politicians dis
carded integrity of Office" and pri-
vate property rights were disre-
garded.
The banker urged support of the
defense program enunciated by
President Roosevelt "by every Amer
ican citizen.
This program will be worth what
ever it costs-and the cost will be
infinitely less than what is being
paid now by the democracies in
Europe"

Merchandise Exports Show
Little Change in May
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Commerce Department esti-
mated yesterday that May mer-
chandise exports from the United
States to other countries totaled
$317 7,00O, 900, about the same as in
April, despite the spread of war
fronts.
Although exports to Denmark.
Norway, Russia, Belgium and the
Netherlands dropped sharply, these
export losses were made up by in
creased sales to Italy, Canada,
Latin America and Asia.
Although the United Kingdom
and France have been the two
largest purchasers of American
goods, their purchases also dropped
from $98,0OOOO0 to s86, 100000 in
May.
Many shifts in commodities also
were noted. Compared with April,
shipments of cotton, wheat, fruits
and machinery declined, while ex-
ports of tobacco, coal and airplanes
increased.
The estimate was based on pre-
liminary figures of exports only.

figures Tor May will not be ready

Britain S Food Supply
Faces Severing by
Planes and Subs
u. S. and Conodu Can
Supply Much, but Only
If SEQ Lones Are Open
BY OLIVER MCKEE,

Great Britain faces the threat of
having her overseas food supply cut
of by NaN submarine and air war
fare il the war continues.
For many essential foodstuffs, in
cluding grain, sugar, starches, milk,
fats, oils and dried fruits, Britain
is largely dependent on imports
from beyond the seas. According
to reports reaching Government
officials here, Britain, in recent
months, has built up large food re-
serves, particularly canned goods.
With such foodstuffs as are obtain
able In the United Kingdom and
Ireland, these supplies, it is believed,
will be sufficient to feed the As, ,00o, 900
people in the British Isles for many
months.
Provided the sea lanes remain
open, the United States, Canada and
other countries overseas will be able
to provide Britain with large GUAM
titles Of foodstufls. With the axis
powers dominating the continent,
Britain can obtain comparatively
little food from Europe. Already
most of the European sources of
supply, such as Holland, Denmark
and Belgium, have been largely cut
off. and the entrance of Italy into
the war will make it difficult for
Britain to get foodstuffs from the
Mediterranean area.
Milk and Egg Supply Cut.
The Nazi conquest OF Denmark,
Belgium and the Netherlands sew
cred Britain from sources which
normally supplied two-thirds of her
canned milk imports. one-third of
her starch imports, more than three
fourths Of her imports of eggs in
the shell and nearly one-half of her
imports of butter and cured pork.
These countries helped supply mil
lions of English breakfast tabhs
with such staples as bacon, eggs.
butter and milk.
BY the same token, their conquest
gave the Nazis freer access to large
supplies of needed foodstuffs.
According to Commerce Depart
ment figures. the Netherlands, be-
fore the war, accounted for about
60 to IS per cent of total world
export trade in canned milk. In
recent years, the British have i'm
ported 40 per cent of their canned
milk supplies. In 1887 and 1898,
Britain obtained two-thirds of her
imports of canned milk from the
Netherlands.
In 1887 and 1898, Britain imported
nearly 80 per cent of her starch re-
quirements. The Netherlands and
Belgium combined supplied one
third of these imports. Britain i'm
ports about 80 per cent of her butter
requirements. Two-fifths of Brit
