Take Care of SOws
For Spring Litter

Take good care of your sows
and gifts during the pregnancy
period if you want large, thrifty
filters of pigs next spring, says
Malcolm H. Kerr, University of
Maryland Extension animal hus,
bandman.
He gives this reminder now be.
cause the pigs that will be far
rowed in February and up to the
middle of March are already
developing.
The swine specialist offers
these suggestions: give the preg-
nant sow plenty of exercise;
don't let her get too fat; test the
herd to be sure bangs or some
other contagious disease is not
killing pigs in early pregnancy.
Provide ample room for hous-
ing pregnant sows. If they de.
velop a fever due to influenza or
erysipelas, many of the little
pigs in the uterus may die; pro-
vide protein and minerals plus
the corn. Good legume hay or
alfalfa meal is important these
winter months; separate the
gifts from the sows if they are
inclined to fight. Avoid abor,
ton due to slipping or injury;
give plenty of water every day
regardless of how cold the water

sions and discipline himself be-
fore he can help the child de-
velop a desirable character.
Parents should be honest and
sincere with their children at all
times. Mrs. Moehn points out
that comradeship between
parents and the child can help
teach desirable characteristics.
Children need to be listened to -
their little ideas not ignored nor
made fun Of.
Other children in the home
contribute to teaching on e
another social characteristics.
Children reared alone don't pro-
fit from brothers and sisters in
this respect. However, as soon
as they start to school only chill
dren begin to accept what is
right and wrong through their
association with playmates.
At school, teachers also play a
big part in helping to build the
character of youngsters. Today
there is guidance in the develop
ment of the whole child as well
as teaching him the three RS.
Mrs. Moehn adds that one
can't refer to building of char

tension Service.
Since they are often undis-
turbed during a good part of the
winter months, these insects can
do a lot of damage to your rugs
and carpets particularly if
they aren't watched.
The adult clothes moths prefer
darkness and do not fit about
lights, but you may see them
flying in darkened corners or at
the edge of a circle of light.
They fly to hide themselves if
suddenly disturbed.

Efficiency Held Key
To Egg Profits

Egg producers must emphasize
efficiency in order to show a
profit in 1855, says University of
Maryland Extension poultryman
Wade H. Rice.
He lists the principal factors
affecting efficiency as: produc-
ton per bird, body size of layers,
the rate of diease and mortality
and the feed cost per dozen eggs
produced.
After an extensive study of
efficiency records of farm flocks,
Rice has developed goals for
efficient egg production" for the
market egg producer, the heavy
breed egg producer and the
broiler chick Matching producers.
He says the goal for light
breed hens (average body weight.
four pounds should be an aver
age of 225 market eggs a year,
with nUtmore than 48 pounds of
feed required per dozen eggs.
The goal for dual purpose
breeds average body weight,
six pounds is an average of 200
market egges a year on maxi
mum intake of So pounds of
feed per dozen eggs produced.
Hens of meat bred strains for
producing broiler Matching eggs
average body weight, seven
pounds have a goal of an aver
age of $50 eggs per year, with
not more than rs pounds of
feed required for each dozen
eggs.
The goal of mortality is the
same for all three types of lay
ers: not over Is percent.
These goals may sound high"
Rice agrees. But if the man.
ager takes advantage of the
quality of laying stock, feed and
disease control methods that are
available today he should make
it. This is assuming, of course.
that he gives the birds reason
ably good housing and manage
ment"

Character Not a
Matter of Birth

"a person isn't born with
character" says Mrs. Jeanne
Moehn, family life specialist for
the University of Maryland Ex-
tension Service. Nor is he born
with the ability to make deci-
sions for himself, nor to disci-
pline himself by what he feels is
right or wrong"
Good character is learned first
from the parents, says the spe.
cialist. AS the child grows older,
the school, church and peer
groups have strong influence.
Character isn't necessarily set
trait. 1t may change because of
life's experiences.
At birth the infant begins to
learn to be a human being, and
he will copy the examples set up
for him by his parents. Nature
has made the parents the older
guide for the child. And the
parents must learn to make deci.

On the Farm:
On the Term:
Insects Bite off $4,000 Ton
Chen of States ClOUer, Alfalfa

At least $4,000 tons of clover
and alfalfa, worth close to $1h
million, were chewed up by in
sects on Maryland farms in 1854.
This estimate is one of the
highlights of summary of in
sect conditions in Maryland dur
ing 1854. The summary is writ
ten by the University of Mary
land Extension entomologist T..
L. Bissell and Wallace c. Hard
inf, Jr., Extension instructor of
entomology. 1t is based on field
surveys which were made during
the year.
Surveys showed the alfalfa
weevil is still building up and
spreading in the State. All but
two counties, Allegany and Gar
rett, were infested this year.
Other serious pests of hay
crops were pea aphid, splittlebug,
potato leafhopper, grasshoppers
and the lesser corn clover leaf
WeeVil.
Some of the other highlights
of the summary are:
A survey in January and Feb
ruary showed that 46 percent of
the dairy cattle and 68 percent
of the beef cattle in Maryland
were infested with cattle grubs.
In Western Maryland the cod
ding moth did more damage to
apples this year than anytime
since 1915.
An unusual outbreak of box
elder bugs added to the usual
troubles that homemakers have
with termities, ants, reaches and
clover mites.
Damage caused by the corn ear
warm was more serious than
usual. This insect damaged
early and late sweet corn and
also did heavy damage to late
lima and snap beans, mainly on
the Eastern Shore.
Bissell and Harding explain
that insect problems of the past
year are being studied for more
information that will help in
making plans for new and more
effective control recommends
tions next year.
