Damaged Cotton Should
Not Be Harveited
In the firxt place, growers should
not attempt to harvest cotton thatj
has been beaten out on the ground,
sprouted, and begun to root The im
portant thing, however, is to take
cotton to the gin as dry as possible.
Also, if possible, the cotton should
have the cleaning effect of four
beater rolls to remove sand and soil
stain. Seed from storm-damaged cot
ton should be kept separate from the
better grades.
Hickory And Omk Best
Woodt For Smoking Beef
Hickory and oak, although prac
tically all of the non-resinous woods
are satisfactory, particularly the
hardwoods, for smoking beef. Dried
beef should be smoked 70 to 100
hours at a temperature of 125 to 150
degrees Fahrenheit. After smoking,
the dried beef may be wrapped in
heavy paper and then slipped into .
a heavily starched flour sack and |
hung up in a well-ventilated room. '

This is an aerial riew of E. Tnnambago Island in the Solomons, after V. S. planes had given it a terrific
bomb blasting. Note the wrecked pier in the foreground and damaged fronts of the buildings. This attack
was launched during the drive to oust the Japs from the Solomons. The Nipponese are making a desperate

All all that brings up what old
Jim Sprukcs run into tuthcr day.
Old Jim has growed into ther herd
of shaggy-brows, and has bin a-thin
kin bout ther time when he'll be
called on to stop hcppin feed ther
world at little pay, and lay his-self
down in ther dust with rich and
pore alike. So old Jim looked 'im up
a lawyer and saus?Jedge, I'm a

even ef I am still tryin to pull up
ther slope rny-sef, and I cal-ca-late
to leave my little holdins ther way
I'd like fer 'em to go, and I'm con
fi-dent you air ther one I wants to
write my little will. How much is
it a-goin to cost me?
And ther Jedge says?I dont know
how much property yous got, nor
how long it will take me to write it,
Jim. And old Jim says?Jedge, you
hav writ plasters on evy little patch
I own, and ort to know 'em by now,
but Iv paid up clean, and wants you
; to hep me leave 'em clean, what'll
>ou charge? And ther Jedge says?
Well, that bein ther case, I recon it
will take jest about fifteen minits
I'll do it for fifty dollars. Old Jim
I says?Dast ef that aint prutty steep
Judge, but bein I wont never hav to
hav a-nuther one writ, and beirt I
knows you'll writ it right, and that
my corn craps on-usual good, and to
baccky is bustin ther belly outn all
ther years it didnt pay fertilize bills,
I recon I better spare ther fifty, and
ther trades made.
But ef ther Jedge had said?Yas,
it will take me jest fifteen minits, |
and I'll do it for fifty days work?
old Jim would natally |wv flung a

and sich a cussin as old Jim would

V eterinariaii Issues
Timely Animal Aids
Ten don't for farmers, to help
them avoid fall livestock losses, have
been issued by Dr. C. D. Grinnells,
veterinarian of the Agricultural Ex
periment Station of N. C. State Col
lege.
The suggestions, based on a study
of principal causes of fall losses
j among farm animals, include:
Don't allow fall pigs to be farrow- |
I ed in old hog lots infested with
j worms and disease germs.
Don't keep stock in cold drafty
I buildings. Such an environment is
favorable to the development of
"flu" and pneumonia.
Don't bring new feeder animals
onto the farm without a proper cer
tificate of veterinary inspection; al
ways isolate new stock from other
animals for three weeks to prevent
spread of possible disease.
Don't overcrowd poultry houses;
it endangers flock health.
Don't take chances with hog chol
era; have a veterinarian check the
herd and vaccinate fall pigs as soon
as they are weaned.
Don't turn horses and cattle into
cornstalk fields without keeping
watch on them; cornstalk disease is
lways a danger; greater care should
e observed in this wartime year.
Don't let insanitary livestock
uarters endanger profits; all stock
arns should be cleaned and disin
actea before cola weatner.
Don't risk ruining the dairy herd
-trough mastitis. If any cows show
tflamed udders or abnormal milk,
ave them examined.
Don't forget that livestock needs
lenty of vitamins during damp, dark
all and winter weather. Vitamin A
rul D are all important. In livestock
