CHECK THE THIEVES
THAT TRY TO STEAL
POULTRY PROFITS
Lice and Worms Greatly Reduce
Chances of Laying Flock
Producing ON Pro-
itable Basis.

Seldom does 1t occur to the poultry
raiser that lice and worms are chicken
thieves. And they should be treated
as such, maintains Grafton Lothrop,
head of the sanitation department,
Purina Mills.
eff pullets or hens are infested with
lice and worms when housed for the
winter, the chances Of their returning
a profit are hurt tremendously, he
claims. Infested birds cannot give the
poultryman maximum production DUR
ing the months of October, November,
and December when prices are at their
peak, no matter how good their feed
u.s."
Compared with the value Of the extra
eggs the hens will produce, the cost Of
cleaning up an infested flock is very
small, Lothrop asserts. Only one or
two more eggs per hen during the fall
will pay for the entire cost of strict
sanitation program.

SPRAY RESIDUES REPEL
ANNUAL BEETLE PEST

The annual campaign to keep Jap
anese beetles off valuable fruit and
ornamental trees, shrubbery and
garden plants is under way. Present
indications are that there will lik-
ely be large numbers of the beetles
in this section, as their numbers
seem to increase daily.
DR.. L. A. Stearns, entomologist
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, advises that fruit
trees and other valuable plants on
which the beetles feed can be pro-
tected by maintaining coating of
spray residue on all parts of the
plants that are attacked by this an
nual pest. He says it's important to
make sure the plants are covered
with spray residue before the beetles
start feeding in large numbers. A
second application of the spray is
made from seven to ten days after
the first spraying. And still another
dose of the spray material is put on
the plants at the height of the
beetle season.
Spray materials now recommend
ed for keeping beetles off of plants
are repellents. Protection is obtain
ed by turning the shiny, green
beetles away from plants rather
than by actually poisoning them.
One of the cheapest spray mater
ials is made by dissolving 20 pounds
of hydrated lime and three pounds
of aluminium sulphate in 100 gallons
of water. The residue left by this
mixture must be washed from fruit
before it is marketed.
Another beetle-repelling spray is
made by mixing six pounds of lead
arsenate, six pounds of hydrated
lime and four pounds of wheat
-four with 100 gallons of water.
This mixture is recommended for
grapes, shade trees and shrubs. The
regular cover spray for late apples
can usually be depended upon to
keep beetles away from apple trees.

INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY AND
FREEn0M

AS a group, the stake of farmers
in this world conflict is as great or
greater than that of any other group.
propose to talk about this stake in
the light of our own interests--our
own selfish interests, without regard
to the interests of any other country
or countries.
/ am a farmer and / think my
outlook on things in general is the
outlook Of the average farmer. If
there is any outstanding character
istic of the average farmer, would
say it is this: love of individual
liberty and individual freedom That
explains why good many of us
are farmers. But what does Hitler
ism in Europe have to do with the
freedom, liberty and safety of the
average American farmer? 1t has a
lot to do with it. Long ago, Abra-
ham Lincoln said that this Nation
could not exist half slave and half
free. 1t is equally true that the
world cannot exist half democratic
and half Nazi. Claude R. Wickard.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
EVERY DAY

President Bernard Culver OF the
America Fire Insurance and In
demnity Group, in an address to the
top executives assembled at a din
ner in the Union Club, New York,
pointed out that although it has
been the custom of the insurance
industry to stress fire prevention
during the week of October 9th each
year, in this time of national emer-
gency, it is imperative that fire pre-
vention be stressed every day and
every minute of the day.
"This is vitality necessary from a
patriotic viewpoint and the need for
conserving our national resources
said Mr.. Culver. 'sIt is also of great
Importance to every manufacturer,
merchant and property owner, that
they take the utmost care and be con
stantly on the alert to prevent fire
in their plants, stores and their
homes because even though their in
surance might give them dollars
with which to buy, they still may be
unable to replace that which is de-
stroyed. The inability of business
not engaged in the production OF
essential war materials to get re-
placements of machinery or stock,
could well result in the destruction
of that business. Even though in
surance might cover their present
property, a destructive fire could
still ruin them. The home owner will
find that he will not be able to re-
place many things destroyed and as
well, find it difficult and more ex-
pensive to rebuild"
II urge you," said Mr.. Culver,
''as insurance men charged with the
responsibility of guarding the public
against financial loss from fire and
other catastrophes, to consider 1T
your duty to impress this point upon
every property owner, so that their
increased vigilance will not only
cut down our annual fire waste and
conserve our resources for important
defense production but also con-
ceivably save them from serious f.
nancial loss"

MEN. MONEY AND MACHINES

Now that the nation is dedicated
to About" Defense, every man,
every machine and every dollar
must be made available for the de-
fence of democracy. All three are
essential. To take men or machines
from the jobs slows up the defense
program.
The same is true of dollars. Every
dollar wasted away on non-essen-
tial non-defense boondoggling is a
dollar spent in anti-defense.
The taxpayers of the nation do
not begrudge paying the tremendous
tax bills that are now being placed
on them, but their common sense
does revolt at the thought OF
their earnings being wasted in non
defense spending at a time when
every dollar may be needed to in
sure our liberty.
Although Mr.. Morgenthau recent
ly suggested a billion dollars OF
non-defense federal spending might
be postponed during the war emer-
gency, little has been accomplished
in this respect after several weeks
of congressional consideration.
There has been lot of oratory
in Washington on the subject, but
so far there is little or no indication
that anything will be done about it
unless the people back home make
their will known to their Repre-
sentatives and Senators in Congress.
Can you permit extravaganza to
changer the success of the defense
program without expressing your
opinion against it? Your Senators
and your Congressman will be inter-
ested in your views, and as an in
terested citizen we urge you and
the members of your Association to
write or wire them today and tell
them that federal non-defense
spending must be reduced at least
during the war emergency.

FERTILIZER SEEN SCARCE

Farmers face a scarcity of phos-
plate fertilizer because war condi-
tions have taken vessels from the
coastal trade, Charles J. Brand Of
Washington, D. c., executive Sec
rotary and treasurer of the Nation
al Fertilizer Association, told dele
gates to the Del-Mar-Va Fertilizer
Association convention at Rehoboth,
Delaware.
"This country's most important
fertilizer" the speaker stated, lis

Der of vessels used for shipments
have been taken from the coastal
trade it is difficult to get enough of

WHEN YOU GO ON YOUR
VACATION

II you are planning for weekend
trips or out-ofdoors vacation-hik-
ing, camping, fishing, motoring,
here is some precautionary advice
for you from DR.. r. H. Riley, Dir
rector of the State Department Of
Health.
Don't battle or swim in streams
polluted by sewage. Don't swim i'm
mediately after eating, in any stream
or pool, at any time.
Boil your drinking water il the
supply comes from an unknown or
unprotected source. No matter how
clear or sparkling stream may be,
don't take the safety or purity of
the stream for granted.
Choose your camping place care
fully If you are looking for good
place for a picnic or an overnight
stay, go on until you come to one
posted bearing the State Seal show
ing that the place has been inspected
and eets the necessary sanitary re-
quirements.
Be sure to wash very thor
oughly with plenty of water and
soap before eating and before hand
ling or preparing food for yourself
of for others.
Wash vegetables and fruits thor
oughly before using.
Keep foods covered, as cool as
possible, and protected from flies.
Avoid rich foods and other foods
| that spoil easily.
Look out for ticks. Fortunately,
| they are not all infected but some
are sources of Rocky Mountain spot
| ted fever, tick-bite-fever, and it is
safer to regard them all as danger
ous If you find any on you, remove
them very carefully to avoid crush
| ing them. The infectious material
can be readily absorbed into the
system through scratch or break
in the skin. Swab the place from
which the insect was withdrawn
with iodine and wash your hands
thoroughly afterwards. If you are
camping or fishing in tick infest-
ed region, search the body at least
twice a day for the insects.
Don't exercise until you are over
heated. If you perspire freely and
feel droopy from the heat, drop a
pinch of salt in a glass of cool water,
and drink it slowly. It's good pro-
I lection against heat exhaustion.

THE DOCTOR is A SOLDIER

Early in June, more than 1900
American doctors went to Cleve-
land, Ohio. They went there to at
tend the annual meeting of the
American Medical Association
which is the largest meeting of its
kind in the world. And this year the
gathering was of more than ordinary
interest, for its dominant note was
the role of medicine in the national
preparedness program.
1t is apparel that the public health
is a very vital factor in defense.
And that concerns more than the
health of our new and fast-expand-
ing army, important as that is. 1t
.oncerns the health of the millions
of men who work in our factories,
and who operate the machines which
produce the implements of war 1t
concerns the health of farmers, W no
raise our food. 1t concerns the
health of the civilian population,
which must play it's part in one way
or another to speed the defense
drive to successful contamination.
The doctors of America are the
custodians of the public health.
Upon them rests the gigantic re-
sponsibility of curbing and fighting
those diseases which take mems
lives, which reduce mems produc-
tive capacities, which waste and de-
stroy great human resources.
The doctor is soldier-a soldier
fighting an everlasting war against
disease and plague and death. Today
medicine is mobilized to make that
fight even more effective.

CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS

Governor O'Conor has issued
statement in which he points out the
many advantages offered by the
Civilian Conservation Corps to this
years high school graduates and
other unemployed youths, especially
in the matter of preliminary train
ing necessary for employment in de-
tense industries
In few places besides the CCC, the
Governor states, can a boy obtain
better preparation for part in vast
industrial activity that forms the
backbone of the defense program.
In the CCC he learns to do by doing.
On the work projects he receives
the supervision of experienced and
capable foremen. He builds. roads,
trails, bridges, and telephone lines.
He works as a carpenters or as
stone-mason's helper, or in camp
motor repair shop. If he shows APP
titude, he may handle trucks, trac-
tors, and other motor-driven equip
ment. There is place for him at
the blacksmith's forge, or as rod
man or chairman i'm survey crew.
In the woods he learns how to
handle axe and saw, and how to log
timber. More than this, boys who
wish intensive training in defense
occupations are given the privilege
of attendance lat special off-hour vo-
cational classes.
A CCC enrollee is well housed,
well fed, and well clothed, and re-
ceives free medical and dental care.
He enrolls i'm the Corps for a period
Of six months, and may enroll for
three subsequent six-month periods,
or Ia total of two years. Should he at
any time secure an outside job, he
is free to leave the Corps then and
there. In no case, moreover, is the
attempt ever made to hold a boy in
the CCC against his will.
Aside from the money given him
for his personal use and the sum, if
any, sent each month to dependents;
part of every CCC enrollee's pay is
placed to his credit with the quar-
termaster, and the sum total of such
deposits turned over to him upon
his discharge from the Corps. Thus,
no boy leaves the CCC without a
nest egg to help carry him along
until he obtains regular employ
ment In the Corps itself, moreover,
are opportunities for advancement
and extra pay.
An impression seems to obtain in
some quarters that boy can not en-
roll in the CCC unless his family is
on relief. This is in no sense true.
The sole qualifications for enroll
ment are that a boy shall be be-
tween the ages of seventeen and
twenty-three, unmarried, and I'M
employed. In the CCC boys from
well-to-do homes work side by side
with boys less well situated. No dis
tinction is made between them.
Every boy has an equal chance with
every other.
The current enrolment period ex-
| tends from July to July 20. Be-
fore actual enrolment is made by
Army authorities, candidates are
| first certified by the State Depart
ment of Public Welfare, which has
| offices at the various county seats.
If there is "a CCC camp in the vi
oinity, however, all a boy has to do
is to apply to the camp commander,
who will forward the necessary pap
ers to headquarters for action New
boys are made to feel that they are
welcome in the CCC, while every
thing is done to make it easy for
them to fit into camp life.

The second method for controlling
lice suggested by Lothrop is to paint
the roost poles with an efficient roost
paint. This method is commonly used
by large flock owners. It is easy and
quick, as well as inexpensive. He
warns, however, against using a roost
paint that blisters the feet, stains the
feathers, or that will suffocate the birds.
'@rhe efficiency OF roost paint for
killing lice depends upon the volitiza-
ton of the product, permitting fumes
to permeate through the feathers and
reach the lice in sufficient volume to
kill them," he explains.

The Government business of ma

Now it is time to get in step, and
