THANKSGIV ING DAY 1913

Ever since the 1921 harvest-thanksgiving of the PILGRIM
Fatners at plymouth, Thanksgiving Day in the United States
mas been a significant festival of thanksgiving for the mercies.
OF the closing year. Each year since 1863, the President has
proclaimed a Thursday in the latter part of November as
Thanksgiving Day.

by no means secure, the United Nations and our own nation
are leading humanity in the paths of peace and Justice. Here
IN the Virgin Islands we have again ben spared from disas-

matter OF thanksgiving that we have just commemorated the
Centennial OF the abolition of human slavery in the Virgin
Islands.

The rains have come in our North

unusual force, and all about is the
evidence Of washing fields and
stunted corn In the bottoms.
Certainly the experiences OF many
farmers this summer should be q
convincing argument for better land

The quilted and washed out corn
fields also give support to the argu-
ment against corn and for grass
as an ensilage crop.
am not sure about the economics
involved in producing corn, whether
1t is going to prove too costly for
this section or not. But many
farmers in this area are gradually
going more and more to grass, and it
seems likely that much less corn
will be produced here in the future.
Certainly, on steep or rolling
ground corn may prove expensive,
both in labor and fertilizer costs
and in soil damage, particularly
where they are no grass strips to
catch and hold the washing soil.

Dairymen Receive
Top Prices for Month

American dairymen this month
received new record prices for fluid
milk, according to the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics. Increased
prices were widespread in Central
and Northern New England, New
York State and Pennsylvania.
On the Washington market dairy
men still received $6.13 per hundred
pounds of milk adjusted to 3.5 per
cent butterfat. This compared with
$7.31 in Jacksonville, Fla, $7.15 in
Miami, $4.15 in Fort Dodge, Iowa;
$6.08 to $632 in New York City, and
$4.75 in Lexington, KY.
Prices received in the Wisconsin
dairy center ranged from S471 at
Beloit to $3.50 at Madison.
The monthly milk production on
American dairy farms reached its
seasonal peak last month at level
4 per cent below year earlier.
Per capita daily milk production
during June averaged 2.80 pounds
the lowest rate in 10 years of record
except for the 1884 drought year.

Rural Work Deaths

BY the Assoeioted Pres,

The Agriculture Department says
4,300 people were killed in farm
work accidents last year. In recog-

man has proclaimed this week, July

ment Of Agriculture found 50 many

lication No. 608 USDA) describing
farm accidents and how to avoid
them.
This pamphlet says more people
are killed in farm work accidents
than any other industry. OF course
more people are engaged in farming
than other occupations. But even
when figured on the individuals S
gamble against death, the farmer
stands close to the top of the list.
Major Causes of Death.
The great increase in farm ma
chinery and more modern plumbing
have added to the toll. Occasionally
people standing in water have
touching electrical outlets, causing
electrocution.
Livestock - mean bulls, runaway
horses and the like-also are a
major cause of deaths and acci-
dents. Other deaths are caused by
falling into wells, cisterns and pits
and from roofs and ladders. Light
ming takes its toll. Many farm peo-
pie drown. Other mishaps come
from accidentally drinking or eat
ing bug poisons; gunshot wounds
and fires.
John H. Wetzel, chairman of the
national farm safety wook commit
tee, wanted closeup view of tarm
accidents in the hope something
could be done about elimina ting
them wholesale. He asked farm peo-
pie to write about their mishaps.
Here are two of the letters:
Two True Experiences.

This Week in the Garden

A recent bulletin from the Plant
Disease & Survey warns that the
late blight Of potatoes has reached
this area and that gardeners should
begin to spray or dust tomato vines
to avoid losses. The late blight
attacked our tomato vines with
widespread destruction in 1916. Po-
tato growers also will want to take
notice and protect their crops.
A 1880 bordeaux mixture may
be used. The 4-4-50 mixture con-
tains too much lime for tomatoes.
The newer metallic (fixed copper
sprays are good as are the thiocarb-
amates (Zerlate, etc.. They may
be used either as a dust or as a
spray. Applications at weekly in
tervals until hot, dry weather puts
a stop to this disease is considered
necessary to give adequate protec-
ton.
Now is the time to SOW seeds of
pansies, delphinium and other per-
ennials and biennials for full trans
planting. Scatter the seeds in q
well prepared soil mixture, or better
still, use spaghnum moss or ver-
miculite. Freshly harvested seed
will germinate readily and be ready
for transplanting within three or
four weeks. The tiny seedlings are
best transplanted into a fiat until
large enough to be shifted to the
garden about mid-September.
DR.. Darrow of the Bureau of Plant
Industry advises moving the straw
berry beds as soon as harvest Is
over. Following the moving, weeds
and grass may be easily removed
and the plants thinned so that each
will have ample food and moisture
to make good growth. The number
Of leaves per plant in September is

Extension Of electricity to rural
communities Is giving farmers their
highest living standard In history.
Electricity is providing . greater
margin of profit.
And farmers can buy more feed
grinders, pressure water systems,
cream separators, milk coolers,
storage freezing units. milking ma

ment dear to their hearts.
Buttressed by high prices and by
some Federally guaranteed crop
prices, current statistics disclose the
men who feed America and q large
portion of the outside world have
scored these gains since 1910:
Savings have quadrupled and the
national farm mortgage debt has
dropped 20 per cent.
The farmers gross income In 1947
was $50 9.OO0, ,000, 900.
Az Of January l, total savings Of
farmers was more than $22 ,000, ,000,-
900, held in cash and securities. To-
bdl AaIA doSCto CACSCNCO So0sVVV,-

Here's how electricity saves money
for farmers-it does as much work
for 18 cents as q hired man does In
one hour for 46 cents.
At least 10000 of Americans
6 ,000, 900 farms are now electrified.
New users are being added at the
rate of about 100000 a year.
Electrifcation is heaviest in the
New England, Pacific and Middle
Atlantic States, the Edison Elec-
txical Institute says. In these re-
gions more than 30 per cent Of the
farms are equipped with electrical
power.
The South Central States, which
include Alabama, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Mississippi, lists the low

The bottleneck in higher farm
living standards continues to be
plumbing. Though farms with
private baths and flush toilets have
doubled since 1910, four out of every
five are still without both.

in spraying for Japanese beetles

Eggs Against
Metal Frames

An accident with Q carpenters
square helped Prof. James M. Gwin
Of the University of Maryland poul-
try department perfect a new egg
washing machine that Is expected
to solve the washing problems Of
the small and medium poultry
producers.
Prof. Gwin's washer is q small,
compact machine a little bigger
than a table model radio.
When Prof. Gwin first started
work on his washer he used the
conventional principles of such ma
chines-that of having brushes or
rags for the actual washing.
One day while his experimental
machine was running he attempted
to make measurement with a car
penter's square and noticed that an
egg which scraped against the
square was cleaned.
This gave him an idea that dirt
could be scraped OF the eggs quicker
than with brushes. so he set about
evolving a scraper mechanism for
his washer. The Gwin washer
works like this: ,.
The washing is done by a motor
driven canvas belt that passes
through a pan of electrically-heat-
ed water before going under the
eggs. The eggs are moistened by
the water which Is kept warmer
than the eggs so as to produce an
outward pressure" and help re.
move the dirt. AS the wet belt
passes under the eggs 1t causes
them to turn and twist in indi-
vidual compartments made of metal
bars. These bars scrape of the
dirt.
Prof. Gwin explained that the
washing action is so gentle that
cracked eggs may be cleaned sue
cessfully. He said the eggs turn
on their short axis, thus causing
minimum Of internal disturbance.
The water is heated by an elec-
trical unit that turns on when the
machine is plugged into an electric
outlet Prof. Gwin began work on
his machine while serving as
lieutenant colonel in Europe as
deputy director of agriculture. He
joined the staff Of the University's
poultry department in 1887 and
had been with Armour & Co. and
the Connecticut Department Of Ag-
riculture.

followed blind man with q
Seeing-Eye dog. I watched carelessly
kind people pat the dog whenever
the opportunity arose.
One should remember that such q
dog Is the eyes of the blind man
first, and a dog second. Never speak
to such a dog. Never touch or pet
him. And never try to feed him
or in any way divert his mind from
his work.
Here's what I think about dis
temper inoculations: BY all means
give them to your dog. In over 90
per cent of the cases it will protect
the animal from the ravages of q
disease that is often fatal. The
usual method Is to give the dog
three inoculations at Today inter-
walls. However, these should never
be given to dog under five months
of age. But, you may ask, what can
one do to protect a puppy until he
is old enough to have these three
shots?
After a pup is 8 weeks Of age he
can be given what is called tempo
rary inoculations." These will give
the dog immunization from distem-
per for period Of four to six weeks
Then another Temporary shot
should be given. This process is
kept up until the dog is old enough
to stand the regular inoculations.
I have received a number Of let
ters from clients, who are worried
about their pets eating grass. It's
true that sometimes it may be a
sign of some minor trouble, but in
the majority of instances the dog
does it purely out of instinct as a
conditioner.
Eating grass does one or two
things: It either causes a dog to
vomit, or the grass is digested into
the intestinal tracts and helps to
remove excess waste and infections.
Grass is beneficial to your dog,
so don't try to keep him from eat
ing 1t If he so desires.
I have been asked to repeat the
formula for dog dip Here it is:
Dissolve three pounds of sulphur
and one pound of green soap in a
gallon of boiling water. After the
mixture has been thoroughly dis
solved, add two quarts of kerosene.
Then place 1t in a wooden barrel
and add 30 gallons of water.
This dip may be used frequently
to kill such external parasites as
fees, lice or ticks. I have also
found it beneficial in curing some
Of the common canine skin ailments
prevalent in hot weather. If kept
covered, this mixture may be used
time and time again, although at
times you may have to add a quart
or so of water to take care OF a
slight evaporation.
