Doctor Makes Incision
In Cuban's Hand, And
Out Jumps Small Frog
Havana.?This is -the story of a
frog. In fact, It ought to end frog
stories.
The frog who spent some 40 years
entombed In a stone wall was really
"small fry" conjpared to the yellow
frog of Clenfuegos, "and thereby
hangs this tale?which, literally
translated from a Havana news
paper, Is as follows:
"A case which left astounded the
surgeons and others in whose pres
ence It took place occurred yester
day in the Municipal hospital of
Clenfugoes when upon opening an
abscess In the right hand of the
Spanish farmer. Manuel Acosta
Santalla, of the town of Abreus;
hardly had the first Incision been
made when from the interior of the
abscess there jumped a young yellow
frog which had been living within
the inflammation, which had given
atrocious pain to the unfortunate
farmer who, on realizing what oc
curred, could not control his nerves
and fainted.
"The case was observed by va
rious persons and many others have
gone to the hospital to convince
themselves. The doctors explained
the case by saying that possibly
Acosta Santalla, who had an injury;
In the same place as the abscess,
had washed it when the injury oc
curred, in some creek or puddle
containing frog eggs, one of the eggs
remainln within the wound and
hatching under the heat of the in
flammation and producing the pain
suffered by the patient. One thing
which makes the case stand out is
the fact that before the operation
the hand was free of bandages,
making impossible any hypothesis
that the batrachian might have
been hiding in a fold of a bandgae.
YET TIME TO
PLANT NEEDED
FEED CROPS
Since the drought in the middle
west has gTeatly reduced the a
mount of hay and feed crops, the
Agricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration has authorized the growth
of such crops on all land with
drawn from the production of basic
crops under reduction, contracts.
There is yet time to plant soy
beans, sorghum, corn Sudan grass,,
germ an millet, and a, few other
similar crops, it was pointed out by
Dean I. O. Schaub at State Col
lege.
The amount of fertilization need
ed will vary with the type and con
dition of the soil and the kind of
crop planted, but he advised grow
ers to fertilize sufficiently to pro
duce good crops. County ag'nts can
advise individual "farmers what fer
tilization is necessary.
With uie curtailment of the feed
crops out west, he said any North
Carolina grower who buys his feed
will have to pay exorbitantly high
IVices Under the circumstances,
all farmers should produce enough
feed for their own livestock.
Land rented to the secretary of
agriculture may be used for the
production of such feed and forage
crops for home use. and the far
mers may grow such crops for sale
on the non-rented acres.
The corn-hog. contracts however,
do not permit tho harvesting of as
many feed crops as do the other
secretary. Among seed which may
not be harvested under this contract
are: soybeans, field peas, cow peas J
peanuts, and sorghums.
These crops may be grown, how
ever, if the farmers plan to plow,
them under for soil improvement
purposes. Feed crops which may be
harvested from corn-hog rented
acres are: timothy, red top, orchard
grass, blue grass, meadow fescue,
grome grass, crested wheat grass,
clover, alfalfa, sweet clover, lespe
deza. and similar pasture and mea
dow crops.
FORD V-8 REDUCES
PRICES $10 TO $20
Detroit, Mich.. June 19.?Reduc
tions of $10 to $1S in list prices of
1934 Ford V-8 commercial cars and
trucks were announced last week by
the Ford Motor Com party effective
Friday. June 15. 4
Ford prices had remained un
changed since, the introduction of
the 1934 Ford V-8 last December,
the Ford Motor Company not hav-.
ing participated in the recent gen
eral automotive price increase. The
/eductions announced are. therefore,
a decrease in the original prices.
The prices reduction on the. stan
dard and de luxe Tudor Sedans,
most popular lndivdiual models in
point of sales, ts $15. Prices of other
standard and de luxe body types
were reduced $10, except prices of
the roadster, Phaeton ajjd cabriolet
de luxe types, which remain un
changed. Both standard and de luxe
passenger Cars have the. same V-8
- engine and 112 inch wheelbase
chassis. Body types for both are
Identical except for the de luxe
equipment.
The soldiers of Gen Philip H.
Sheridan's army knew him by the
name of "Little Phil."
There are more than 8,000,000
farm homes in the United States.
To Make Check Of
Contratcd Acreage
Cotton and tobacco growers who
1 a re under reduction contracts
are being cautioned by Charles A.
Sheffield of State College to make
careful measurements of their plan
ted acres.
| He is also urging them to desig
nate which acres have been set a
slde from cotton or tobacco produc
tion so that the committeemen who
win make a check of the acreage
can do so as rapidly as possible.
I It will be to the farmers' advan
tage, he said, to have their produc
eion as nearly in line as possible.
Growers who have planted more
than their contracts allow will be
required to reduce their acreage or
cancel their contracts and refund
any rental payments they have re
ceived.
After the committeemen have made
their check, government surveyors
will make a recheck of a few farms
chosen at random to determine the
accuracy with which the first check
was made. Corrections wUl be made
when necessary.
The check will also be made to
determine whether the growers
have retired from production land
which is of good, gjjrage fertility
and whether they have planted on
the rested acres any crops which
are prohibited under the contracts.
Farmers who are not complying
with their contracts in every way
will be given a chance to do so.
If they do not bring their farms
into- ..compliance, their-- contracts
will be forfeited.
Due to drought conditions in the
middle west, the contracts have
been modified so that a grower can
plant forage and feed crops on all
the rented acres. He may also grow
for sale such crops on nonrented
acres, says Sheffield.
WEDDING
WRITE UP
Most newspaper men shrink from
the task of writing tip a wedding and
prefer to pass that responsible duty
to the female society editor. Yet
there are exceptions. Qccassionally
an editor is found who can paint a 1
word picture of nuptial events that
anv lady reporter might envy.
We discovered one like that who
appears to be hiding his great tal
ents in an "flBScure Kansas town,
while he ought to be holding down
a big city job. Here is a sample of
his literary ability, which proves our
point:
"It was a wonderful wedding. Tha
girl was as sweet as any girl who
e\er lived; but modern. As she walk
ed up the aisle on her father's arm.
her lips lightly tilted at the corner
with a happy smile, she was a pic
ture of modest beauty. Her filmy
wedding gown and gassomer veil
floated around her fair blond head
like a holo. She was as nearly an
angel as girls get to be in this
world. At the altar, as she pass
ed from her father, the man she al
ways loved, to the other man whom'
she would devote the rest of her life, |
her dainty slipper' touched a potted
lily resting on the floor and turned
it over. Smiling again, she turned
to the dear old pastor waiting at
the chancel and said: That was a
hell of a place to put a lily."? I

MILEAGE HINTS
By J. F. Winchester, S.A.E.
Supervisor of Motor Vehicle
Equipment, Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey
MAJ?. motorists are content to
drive indefinitely with the in
convenience and discomfort caused
by a wobbly steering gear. They
seldom bother to remove the surplus
play in the steering gear and they
often seem indined to consider hard
or difficult steering as just part of
the game. This shouldn't be.
Most steering gear difficulties
arise from improper lubrication or
the lack of any lubrication. Slip
shod greasing of the ear, the use of
inferior lubricants or of lubricants
unsuited to steering gears, wheels
out of line, underipflated tires,
wobbly wheels and too tight an
adjustment ef the steering gears"
are causes of difficult steering.
After a winter of rough driving
over rutted roads and through snow
and ice many motorists will find
that their steering gears need to be
taken up; This adjustment is not dif
ficult and should be made imifce
diately to insure comfortaldsudiiv
of any difficulties with this part of
the car later in the jear. At the
same time this is done have the en
tire steering apparatus checked and
lubricated and keep It lubricated
properly if you would prevent wear
and provide easy steering.

Timely Farm
Questioned Answer'd
At State . College
Question: Should bieeding cock
erels be selected now lor us next
fall?
Answer: Tiie first point to con
sider is whether there is a need for
new blood in the flock. Unless a
definite system of breeding has been
established it is best to introduce
new blood from a known satisfac
tory source every three years. If new
blood is not necessary then go ahead
and select the large boned, early
maturing and early feathering cock
erels from your home flock. Be sure
that only birds of high vitality are
selected. Select about twice as
many cockerels as needed as this will
allow for late cullifg.>
Question: How can I cure the
scours that is prevalent in my herd
at calves?
Answer: Yhen the first symptoms
appear the individual calf should be
Isolated and the milk feed reduced
at least one-half. Legume hay should,
be replaced by gr.sss hay until the
trouble disappears. Give the calf a
lose of one to three tablespoons
lull of castor oil, depending upon I
the age of the calf, mixed in a pint
if fresh milk. Following this a tea-1
spoonful of a mixture composed of
Jne part salol and two parts each of
sub-nitrate of bismuth and bicar
bonate of soda should be given and
repeated at stf hour intervals until
:he diarrhea is checked. This trou
ole is caused by improper feeding
such as 'over-feeding, using dirty:
pails or boxes, irregular feeding Or
feeding milk too rich in fat. These
should be checked and corrected be
fore putting the calf back on the
j regular diet.
Question: How much feed will it
take to "harden" out 75 pound pigs
for the early fall market?
Answer: This depends upon the
condition of the animal at start of
feeding period. The accepted for
mula requires 35 poundi of fish meal
' or tankage, 160 pounds of corn meal,
22 pounds of wheat shorts and 220
pounds of corn for a twelve weeks
feeding period. Rations for differ
ent weight animals and for short or
long feeding periods are contained
in Extension Cricular 143 which may
be secured from the Agricultural
Editor at State College upon re
quest.
