important in any profitable hog pro-
duction program and both contribute
to the general health Of hogs, he said
Lice and mango cause considerable loss
of flesh unless these parasites are ex-
terminated and kept under control. Used
crankcase oil from autos and tractors
is effective in controlling lice if applied
frequently. Rubbing post kept in good
condition are useful and hogs will oil
themselves on them.
Lice are found mostly about the neck
and jowl. Mango affects the lower parts
of the body especially the flanks and be-
tween the legs. Mango is caused by a
mite which can be treated effectively by
dipping in lime-sulphur solution twice
within a To-day period. The treatment
may have to be repeated unless all old
bedding is removed and sleeping quar-
tiers are cleaned thoroughly. 1t is usually
best to buy a prepared lime-sulphur
solution and dilute according to direct
ions. If dipping is not practicable, the
hogs may be sprayed if care is taken
to reach all affected parts.
Good pastures serve the double
function of reducing the cost of feed
ing pigs and controlling parasites. Pas
ture lots facilitate rotation Of hogs to
fresh unaffected ground, whereas dry
lots confine animals in less sanitary

Posture Improvement Program

Over 5000 acres of pastures have been improved IN
Holmes county during the past five months by progress
sive, far-seeing farmers who vision a day when farm
prices won't be as high as today and are getting ready
for it. Improvement costs about So per acre.
The A will pay Holmes farmers about 85 percent
of the So cost of improving their pasture lands. lmproV-
ment of these lands involving clearing, cleaning, seeding,
clipping and terracing can be done by labor on the farm
and using the farmers own equipment.
The total net cost of the above operations to the
farmer in cash outlay runs about $500 per acre. The
seed he will have to purchase the first year will cost HIM
about So per acre but that is offset by AAA payments
about IS percent. After the first year he can save his
own seed.
The small net cost of about So per acre to own i'm
proved pastures is nothing compared to the difference
improved lands make in grade of cattle and feeding
costs. Unimproved lands in Holmes county will take five
to seven acres to feed one grown cow five or SIX months
a year. Improved pastures will Craze one grown cow to
every two acres for a period of eight months besides
furnishing light grazing in the winter months. There is
no limit to the number of acres that can be improved.
There are $3.50 acres in pasture in this county, and
1902 idle acres. Lands can be used profltably Tor pas
ture that are unsuitable for row crops. Due to the short
age of labor on the farm lands can be taken care of more
~profitbaly by improving pastures and growing livestock
than anything else.
The average and smaller than-average farmer in
the county could easily net from $500 to $500 per year on
cattle by improving only 20 acres of pasture and putting
in ten head. This tidy sum could be earned with little
cash outlay and labor. 200 farmers in the hill sections
are already doing this and profiting thereby.
We urge farmers who are not profltlng by the pas
ture-improvement program to look into its possibilities
without further delay.
The man who is going to be on top when the war
is over is the one with improved pasture lands.

l00-plane Japanese force that raided
Port Moresby last week, have checked
the enemy's developing air offensive.
The latest Japanese aerial assault,
launched with upwords of 100 planes
against Milne Bay at the Eastern tip
of New Guinea, cost the enemy another
80 planes. According to 1t. Gen. Sir
Thomas Blamey, the Japanese are
gambling for mastery of the skies in
this area. According to Secretary OF
the Navy Knox, these raids indicate a
step-up of Jap air activity but not
necessarily a large-scale drive. Secre
