Milk Essential
For Chick

With the approach of spring,
Licking county poultrymen will
be figuring economy measures,
but C. M. Ferguson, specialist
in poultry husbandry, Ohio
State university, says the calcu-
lations should not be carried to
the point where economies in
the feed bill jeopardize the
health of chicks.
Mr.. Ferguson says that milk
is essential in the starting and
growing rations for chicks and
that it's reduction below recon-
mended amounts is almost GER
tain to result in trouble unless
some adequate substitute is pro-
vided. Milk is one of the best
sources of vitamin G, which pro-
notes growth, and it is doubtful
if the reduction of milk below
five per cent of the starting ra-
tion ever is advisable.
Even with five per cent of
milk in the ration, some source
of vitamin G must be provided
as a substitute for the portion
of milk omitted. High grade de-
hydrated alfalfa meal which has
a rich green color and contains
at least 10 per cent protein is
the first substitute, as low grade

Give Lambs Good
Start Says Bear

With the present prospects for
profits from sheep better than
for most other classes of Ohio
livestock, L. K. Bear, extension
specialist in animal husbandry,
Ohio State University, advises
Licking county farmers to make
sure lambs get a good start and
keep growing.
Good milking ewes are the
best insurance of a profitable
lamb crop, he said. A grain mix
ture for ewes getting legume hay
can be made up from three parts
corn, three parts oats, and one
part of oilmeal cake or of whole
or split soybeans. Ewes not get
ting legume hay should have two
parts each of corn and oats to
one part of either oilmeal cake
or soybeans.
Lambs should get both hay
and grain in creep feeders as
soon as they will eat them, and
that is earlier than most farmers
think possible. Leafy hay,
coarsely cracked corn, and bran
tempt very young lambs. Whole
grains should be used when the
lambs eat freely in the creep.
Mr.. Bear recommends five parts
oats, three parts corn, one part
bran, and one part of a protein
supplement.
Thrifty lambs go on pasture
much better equipped to resist
inroads of internal parasites and
will reach market age before
parasites cause much damage.
However, treatments for para
site control in the flock should
not be neglected, the specialist
warned.
Paralysis of ewes at lambing
time appears to be susceptible
to treatment with ordinary mo-
lasses. Half drinking glass of
molasses, four ounces, brings
relief to ewes already affected,
and two ounces of molasses fed
daily to the other ewes may pre-
vent further trouble.
Along with other ways of
helping insure profits from sheep
this year, Mr.. Bear advises care
in shearing and in handling the
fleeces. Buyers are more parti-
cular about dirt, chaff, and burrs
in wool when prices are up, and
they never like fleeces tied with
twine which leaves trouble-mak-
ing fibers in the wool. Paper
twine should be used to tie
fleeces.

pounds of milk removed. A gal
Ion of skim milk can replace
nine-tenths of a pound of dried
milk, and skim milk furnished
as a drink for the chicks can re-
place all the dried milk in the
starting ration.
Any feeding program should
provide chicks with fish oil un-
til they are on range in the sum
shine, Mr.. Ferguson advises.
Green, succulent pastures and
sunshine are without equals as
growth and health promoters
and as money savers. The chick
range should provide green feed
from spring until fall. Dric d

Soil Fertility
Preservation
Urged By Bureau
Ohio State Authorities
Cite Unwise Cultivation
In Wood County

A warning to Licking county
farmers to avoid unwise cultiva-
ton of their lands if maximum
productivity is to be maintained
was issued this week by the rur-
al economics department special
lists of Ohio State university.
The gradual deterioration of
lands in Wood county was cited
to bolster their argument.
Wood county inherited depos-
it's of soil fertility laid down in
a lake which finally shrank
away and exposed that level,
rich farming section but those
centuries of preparation were
not enough to protect the soil
indefinitely from damage done
by unwise cultivation.
Farm account books in the ru-
raj economics department prove
that the few decades of farming
since those lands were cleared
have taken out too large share
of the productivity which accum-
ulated over a period of centur-
les. Cash grain farming in that
area no longer is as profitable
as methods of management
which turn the major share of
the crops into livestock products.
Records show that one group
of Wood county farms returned
a labor income of $14.02 per ro-
tated acre while another group
the same year returned $6.79 per
rotated acre. From the first
group of farms, 36.5 per cent of
the corn and SGT per cent of
the oats were sold, but 80.8 per
cent of the corn and 80 per cent
of the oats were sold from the
second group.
The group of farms which had
the higher labor income carried
1876 animal units of livestock per
100 rotated acres. The less pro-
fitable farms had 1916 animal
units per 100 rotated acres. The
first group of farms obtained
68.8 per cent of the farm re-
ceipts from livestock or live
stock products and the second
group obtained 14.8 per cent of
the receipts from those sources.
Farms with the higher labor
income had 31.5 per cent of the
rotated crop area in hay or pas
ture crops, as compared with
81 per cent of the rotated land
in hay or pasture crop, the sec
ond group of farms. Livestock
received two tons of hay per
animal unit per year on the first
farms and 1.3 tons on the other
group.
Owners of the first group of
farms were applying to the soil
1.9 tons of manure per rotated
acre per year but only IL tons
of manure per acre went back on
the other farms. Soil produc-
tivity was being maintained or
improved on 66.7 per cent of the
first group of farms and was be-
ing depleted on 100 per cent of
farms in the second group.
Agronomists at Ohio State
university say that the original
productivity of we'll drained
Wood county soils compared
favorably with that of any soils
in the world. The evidence fur
nished by recent records from
those farms proves that even the
best soil loses productivity rap
idly under a cropping system
that does not rotate grain crops
with legumes and grass.

alfalfa meal will not furnish
much vitamin G, Mr.. Ferguson
said.
According 70 the Ohio State
specialist, the protein lost from
the ration by the reduction of
its milk content should be pro-
vided by a protein carrier which
is low in minerals. Soybean
meal with al per cent protein
can be used. Mineralized soy
bean meal or meat scrap are not
satisfactory substitutes for milk
in the starting ration.
Dried whey can be substituted
for dried milk at the rate of two
pounds of whey for each three

Murder of a Word

It was such an attractive word, Fifth .Columnist." America liked it so we'll that it took the little word to it's bosom and hugged it to death. All in a few weeks, too When it burst on the American consciousness, Fifth Columnist" was used in it's original sense: that of the Franco general who referred to the four rebel columns converging on Madrid and added that they expected great help from the fifth column" within the city, con- sisting of Franco sympathizers who by spying, sabotage, and active fighting would aid the attackers.
 So we started spraying the new word around with accuracy inversely propor- tional to enthusiasm. Jehovah's Wit nesses, Lindbergh, Socialists without scrap of international connection, per fectly patriotic manufacturers and equally patriotic employees on strike against them, Trotskyites, even the Pres ident himself, have all had the term flung at them by the thoughtless. So today the perfectly good, precise word Fifth Columnist" has come to mean little more than simply "a guy don't like"
