Keeping Healthy Hogs
Is Major War Effort
Scontinusd from rrss rage,

tContinued from FIRST Page1
pigs in lots that have been in
use for several years, special pre-
cautions must be taken to combat
internal parasites. These parasites,
especially the round worm, must
be controlled by effective medica-
tion. Pigs reared on old ground
should be wormed at weaving time
and again when they have reach
ed weight of so to so pounds. If
this precaution is not taken,
round worms may cause stunted
growth, i'll health, and unthrifti-
ness.
If unthrifty. wormy pigs are inn
munized against hog cholera, loss
es may occur, not so much through
faulty immunization as the condi-
tion of the pig when vaccinated. A
short period of lowered resistance
follows serum-virus treatment. and
the pig should be healthy and thrift
ty at the time of vaccination to
get through this period.
Poor feeding tends to lower re-
sistance of pigs to infectious dis
eases and parasites. A growing pig
requires liberal quantities of pro-
tein, minerals, and certain vita
Minis. Home grown grains supple
mented with tankage, meat scraps
Or fish meal will supply the pro-
teins and minerals, and forage
crops and sunshine will provide the
vitamins.

CUT AIR RAID TESTS
TO TWO A MONTH
FOR THE SUMNER
CONTINUED from FIRST PsEel

lContinued from First Pege)
1t was recalled that the three
test system was ordered by the
council not long after the Eastern
Defense Command had promulgated
new regulations and a new series
of alarms which required .consid-
cradle public education.
Public Familiar With Signals
The public and the members of
the defense corps have now shown,
Mr.. Gassaway said. that they are
familiar with the new signals. He
added that the stepping-up of the
Civilian Defense program in Della
ware in the past two to three
months had achieved the purpose
set by the council in aiding the
public to understand the cooper
alton it must supply in the civilian
protection program outlined by the
OCD in Washington.
Another reason for the reduction
in the number of tests is that the
important Victor. Garden season is
in full swing and the council feels
that the gardeners, working after
dinner, should be given as much
evening time as they require to
get in the crops.

HOME FRONT NEEDS

In seeking employment which
will aid the country's war pro-
gram, women should not overlook
those jobs which are not directly
concerned with the war.
For now we find that essential
civilian services have been so se-
verely crippled by labor shortages
that they will be forced to close
their doors or substantially curb
their schedules unless additional
help is made available.
Appeals are being made for wo-
men who will roll up their sleeves
and pitch into full-time work
drive laundry trucks, read gas and
electric meters, and deliver milk
as well as rivet and weld in war
plants.
We cannot run a war efficiently
II the essential cogs in homefront
machinery are clogged up. Women
in communities where there is no
great need for war factory labor
are ideally situated to take over
non-war work. Those in war boom
centers are needed as much If not
more, to preserve a smoothly run
ming civilian life for busy war
workers.

TREASURY BARNACLEs

Listening to promoters of social
lied electric power. one would as
sumo that electricity on the farm
was unheard Of preceding the birth
of the Rural Electrification Admin
istration in 1888.
Grover C. Neff, president Of the
Wisconsin Power & Light Company
and chairman, from its inception,
OF the Committee on Rural Electric
Service established in 1921 by pri-
vate electric companies az years
preceding the REA). dispels this
idea. He says that two and half
million American farms have cleo
trio service; about one million are
served by REA and a million and
half by private electric compan-
les.
In Mr.. Neff's opinion, four mill
lion farms each using 500 kilowatts
month, instead of the present av-
erage OF 100 for REA and $50 for
private company farm customers.
are necessary for full benefit from
rural electrification. He says: "The
main objective of REA seems to be
to extend electric service anywhere
and everywhere, without regard
to whether or not the area served
can support the service.
'In many states REA cooperat-
ives have been relieved of local
and state taxes. paying only a
token tax Of three per cent on
gross revenues, while electric COM
panies serving farms in the same
states pay rs to 80 per cent Of their
revenues in taxes.
Farm electrification calls for
radical changes in farming meth
DDS and machines, processing of
many farm products on the farm,
and joint studies by electrical and
agricultural engineers, manufactur-
ers of agricultural and electrical
machinery. and electric operating
companies. Farm electrification
could not be developed efficiently
until electric operating companies
had made electric service available
to every city. village and hamlet in
the country"
Private electric companies are
to 'electrify" the farms
in spite of the publicly-subsidized
and often useless duplicating COM
petition of the REA. AS war taxes
increase. the burden of these gov
ernment business barnacles, which
tap the public treasury and enjoy
tax exemptions, will become heav-
ier on every taxpayer.
