inference was that the government
was not anti-North American or pro-
nazi-fascist, and should be let alone.
AS q matter Of fact, aside from
Argentine's own aims there seems
to be evidence that the German
Nazis and perhaps some Of the Ger

wealth to Argentina.

At this season of the year, we

mas. We will be searching the
woods this week for berries. Some
will find what they want: others
will be disappointed. My sugges-
ton for today is to grow plants
With berries in your own yard.
Enjoy their beauty throughout
the season and from year to year.
There are many trees and
shrubs that produce berries at
this season of the year. The mol
lies would probably head the list.
The American holly is well known,
but many other such hollies as
coupon. deciduous holly, Chinese
holly. English holly. and other are
not so well known. The ilollies are
hardy and should be grown more
extensively.

that they are underfeeding hay
and overlooking grain to their
dairy cows.
A check revealed that cows were

grain regardless OF their produc-
ton The Extension Service repre-
sentatives suggested that each dal-
rynan spend few dollars for
pair of scales ard weigh both the
milk and the feed for each cow.
In explaining the recommends

pounds and giving 20 pounds OF
4 per cent milk per day as an
example. 'All grain fed above
three and two-thirds pounds per
day to this COW is Lloley tiA o"ii

They explained that a COW OF
this type should be eating not less
than Is pounds of good hay or 80
pounds of poor quality hay. IF she
is not eating this amount, she
can be made to do so by sprinkIlng
mixture of one gallon of mo-
lasses to three gallons OF water
over the hay they said.
In pointing out that each COW
should be fed individually, &C

animals would have uniformed
hoofs which needed trimming and
shaping so that the mule could
secure the greatest leverage for
the heavy pulls which he was call
ed upon to make.
Some of the animals had
groWths and tumors which needed
to be removed. Others needed to
have ailing teeth extracted and
there were many other ailments
which should be corrected if the
work of the farm were to proceed
at its best pace and the animal
return a profit to his owner. Then,
too, interesting facts were avail
able about how to feed and man.
age the work animals.
How to have these animals treat
ed at a cost which the farmers
of the state could afford to pay
was the next big question. An
sWering it, the livestock men and
farm agents developed the idea
of the local horse and mule clinic.
Owners of livestock were en-
couraged to bring their mules and
horses to central point in the
neighborhood where the animals
were examined free of charge by
competent veterinarian and
treatment administered if needed
Nominal charges were agreed
upon for medication to remove
the internal parasites, while the
more serious treatments were
charged for at rate arranged in
advance by the farm agent, the
livestock owner, and the veteri-
marian.
Thousands of animals were
brought to these small clinics.
Most of them needed treatment
and farmers said the nominal cost
OF the treatment amounted, in
fact, to an investment of one dol
lar bringing in dividend of $40.
Nelghborhood leaders aided in the
movement and usually not more
than two clinics were held on any
one day. 1t was found that the
owners would bring their animals
for distance Of about two miles
so the neighborhood leaders ar.
ranged the clinics on this basis
They were held on the grounds
Of the local school, the cotton gin
filling station, or some other cen
trail place of congregation for the
little community. In one county
alone, the owners brought in 1,O0(
animals for treatment last win
ter. A farmer reported that he
paid SIS for mule that had bae
lump on ner jaw. He brought thu
mule to a local clinic where thu
veterinarian removed an ailinl
tooth, after which the animal wa!
worth over 5000 at prevailing
prices.
Other owners reported that tneil
mules could do twice as muct

work following the treatments Civ
en-. 1t was found that round
worms, pin worms, and small
round worms were more prevalent
in the eastern part of the state
than any other internal parasite
while the, bot fly caused more
trouble in the Piedmont and
western sections. Lice and mango
were common ailments. Float
ing the teeth of the older animals
brought much improvement in the
general health while hundreds of
owners sought and obtained in
formation about feed rations for
workstock. Every horse and mule
brought to one of these clinics
was examined free of charge and
valuable bulletins and circulars
were given to those VINO desired
information to take nome.
Mr.. Case says that the clinics
have been SO successful during
the past three winters that ne is
now working on plans to have
another series this winter. Many
Of the county agents also are 60
ing ahead with their plans and
if the history of past clinics is
repeated, six or seven hundred
head OF stock will be treated in
January and February. Farm
agents report that while growers
are turning to machinery and
improved labor saving imple-
ments as fast as they may be OBJ
tanned, the mule still has a place
on the average farm. Not as
many mules are being bought
from outside of the state as for
nerly; however, tine mules on
hand are valuable property and
need to receive careful and intel
ligent attention. Labor is scarce
and where the mule is needed,
nothing will take his place. 1t
pays therefore to have a vigorus,
healthy animal that can do days
work and will use the feed sup
piled to best advantage. These
clinics are shedding new light on
these important matters and
while each one is small, the sum
total of them all is having far
reaching effect over the state.
