FOUR GET FINES
Four men. charged with conspiracy
to defraud the government
of cotton marketing quota
penalties due on the marketing of
excess cotton, pleaded guilty and
were fined in United States District
Court at Brownsville. Texas,
pn June 7, according to word reteived
by J. E. Dodson, secretary
of the Brunswick County AAA
Committee.
The defendants were Lloyd F.
Elliott and Bryan W. Long, partners
in the Electric Gin Company
of San Benito, Texas; William
C. Nycum, also of San
Benito, a bookkeeper for the gin
company; and W. R. Wardlow, a
cotton producer.
Elliott and Long each received
a fine of $10,000, of which $1,000
is to be paid in 70 days, with the
remaining $9,000 of the fine to
be suspended for 3 years, conditioned
upon good behavior and
payment of the $1,000 as specified.
Mycum was fined $1,000, payment
of which was suspended for
three years conditioned upon good
behavior. Wardlow was fined
$2,000, payment of which was
suspended for 3 years conditioned |
upon good behavior.
The criminal action resulted j
from misuse of cotton marketing
cards, the falsification of ginners' j
and buyers' reports, and failure
to submit reports, as required by
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-1
ministration in administering the
cotton marketing quota program.!
The government reserved the
right to enter civil suit to recover
cotton marketing penalties
due.
POULTRY SUGGESTIONS
During the summer months
farmers should lend every effort
possible to providing comfort for
the laying flock.
Check for Mites: The laying
houses should be checked for
mites, and immediately upon detection
steps should be taken to
eradicate them. (Use old burnt
cylinder oil and kerosene on the
roosts.)
Check for Lice: Also check the
birds for lice and eradicate these
by using sodium flouride as a
dust or dip or by painting the
roosts with nicotine sulphate or
some commercial preparation.
Cull: While handling the birds,
or at night it would be well to
cull out all large, overly fat and
medium producing birds. They
cannot stand the extreme heat
and in most cases they are marginal
producers and should be sold.
Remember 85c saved is 85c made.
Increase Ventilation: Some farmers
are finding it a good practice
to open a space 12" to 18"
wide on the back of the laying
house up just under the plate
for ventilation. Windows on the
east and west sides may be opened
for cross ventilation.
Provide plenty of water: Provide
4 or 5 gallons of water each
day for each 100 birds and a sufficient
number of fountains so
that there is no crowding around
the drinking founts. Remember
two-thirds of each egg is water
anH Vion a ron'f nwwlii/iA i*
?v?w vm.i b JJiUUUVC CggS U [
the drinking fountains are dry.
Then too, you get 13c for water
when selling eggs at 20c 'per
dozen. Therefore, provide plenty
of fresh, clean water at all times.
Feed Moist Mash: Give the old
hens a moist mash at noon each
day as it will help to keep them
in production. Take three pounds
of dry mash and njoisten with
milk or water and feed to each

Too" birds. As soon as all the J
| mash is eaten, turn the mash t
j troughs over. Don't encourage j
(flies to congregate in the laying j
house. e
Increase Value of Poultry
Manure: It is a good practice to (
sprinkle acid phosphate or Land f
Plaster (gypsum) over the drop- '
pings and in the droppin pits to (
prevent flies from breeding. It ,
also adds to the fertilizer value
of the manure. Acid phosphate
may be added at the rate of 25
lbs. per week for each 100 birds, i
One hundred birds void about 80 1
lb. of air dry droppings per <
week or over 2 tons per year.
Two tons of the acid phosphate i
and poultry manure will equal 1 i
ton of a 3-10-1 fertilizer. Store 1
j poultry manure in a dry place,
j Above all. don't use lime in the
(dropping pit or on the dropping
boards, as it will liberate the
! ammonia in the poultry manure
I and render It almost valueless.
