Agriculture is the target for j numerous thrusts ou account of : the wholesale dismissal of long time employees in the depart ment. It is hoped be is making \ no mistake. He should remem I ber that while he will make some ? new friends by new appoint ments, that those being turned oat without real good reason have many friends who will re member and resent. The liquor question will fur nish much material for vocal pyrotechnics at this session of the Legislature. Some of it will be bitter. Several bills have already been introduced, some of which contemplate a state-wide referendum. Nearly everyone you talk with has a plan. Some are partly leasable, while others are wholly unac ceptable. It was thought a constitutional amendment would solve the question. It was tried and the amendment was abrogated. After trying out nearly every suggestion the matter is about as much at sea as ever. Odds V Ends In the Midwest, where dur ing the past ten days the mer cury took a drop as much as 20 degrees below, it has moderated up lo 20 above and they call it "comparitively mild" ? then, to be sure, by comparison only, but 10 to 20 above in these re gions is regarded as real win ter. Another forecast has been released that carries the chill ing news that it is to be much colder. California now estimates the loss to the fruit crop, oranges, lemons and the like, at 12 mil lions. A week ago it was esti mated at 2 millions. So rarely has a cold wave slipped down the sunny slopes of California, that they almost consider them selves immnne. A suit for slander has been filed by Ernest Simpson against an English society matron, the wife of Lieut Col. A. H. C.

Soft, snowy tods, so cheerless, cold and white, Gleam in the moon's pale, silver light ? Their.raeting place, when day is done. They are so cold, dear Lord ? these little ones! They weep and shiver on the frozen way, And know not, in their terror, whence the chill That Btrikes so deep, and makes their poor souls ill, This Christmas day! They are so cold ? these children of Thy heart! They are so cold, they make no prayer nor plea. The cold, despairing way, the snowy bed, Have froze the fibre of their spirits dead, Till they no longer feel desire for Thee. Inclement heart and reason, frigid intellect, Without the temporizing ray Of faith and inspiration ? these have chilled The hearts of those Thy Spirit should have filled This Christmas day! Like children, they have strayed from home! Enticed by Learning's philosophic plea; Ambition to be worldly-wise has led To rugged, icy paths and snowy bed. Far, far from light and love and Thee. 0, may the Sun of Righteousness divine Follow them, Lord, upon the cold, white way, And melt the icy crust that chill and bind; Warm Thou their souls anew, until they find - Thy Christ, this day. (The above very expressive poem was received too late for our Christmas issue. It was written by a former Graham girl, Miss Luella Pugh, now the wife of the Treasurer of the State of Florida. ? Edr.) Old Age Security The Percentage of Persons Over 65 Grows Steadily? Some Figures. With great numbers of American workers saving insufficient funds to provide lor their retirement, measures such as are contained in the Social Security Act are essen - tial, William R Williamson, Actuar ial Consultant for the Social Secur ity Board, in an address before the Virginia Bankers Association, re cently said; "The problem of old age dependency is becoming stead ily more important because of the growing number of persons who are 65 years of age or older, and be cause the need of those who are older and who are economically de pendent is recognized as more a cute under prevalent urban condi tions than in earlier years in a pre dominantly agricultural society " He said Bureau of Census figures revealed that, in 1860, persons 6 5 years or older constituted only 3 7 percent of the total population of the country By 1910 the percen - tage was 5 4, By 1980 It is esti mated the percentage of persons 65 years of age o r older will h ave reached 11.3, Citing as a basic assumption in the past the idea that "each citi zen has a Job or sufficient income opportunity to provide for all his day-by-day needs and, in addition, to provide income during unem ployment and to protect his own old age," Mr Williamson said that the facta do not bear out his abil ity to do ao He quoted figures from a study by the Brookings Institution in dicating "an average monthly in come to the wage earner in 1929 of about $100 This means, he as serted, "that a large proportion come below this figure " Timely Farm Questions Answered at State College Question? What ctg I do with the broody hens in my poultry nock? Answer? Where only an occasion al bird in the flock is broody this can be remedied by using this bird on the home table, but if there i? a large number of broody birds then the best thing to do is to dis pose of the entire flock. These birdsshould not be used for breed ing purposes as broodiness is an inherited trait and It will be best to start a new flock with baby chicks from a breeder whose flock show high production which is nec essarily linked with little broodi ness. Question? How can 1 keep my dairy cows from eating dirt and chewing wood on the stalls? Answer? This habit is a sure sign that the ration is deficient in min eral matter and It should be i m - mediately checked and feeds hi^h in mineral constituent* added. It wfli also do no harm to allow the ani? mala free access to a simple min eral mixture composed of one part salt and lour parts steamed bone meal. Extension Circular No. 193 on Feeding and Care of the Dairy Cow gives various formulas for feed ing mixtures and copies may be ob tained free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at State college Question? How much tobacco bed spacer should I seed to produce plants for six acres? Answer? A plant bed containing 100 square yards will normally pro duce sufficient plants for setting two acres which would mean tha,t you should seed 300 square yards of bed. However, It is best .to have several small beds widely separat ed on the farm rather than one large bed as the chances for some of the beds escaping blue mold may be greatly increased. One level fteaspoonful of seed, if properly cleaned, will cover 100 square yards of bed space and to insure an ade quate supply of plants an excess of bed space should be seeded.
