FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: On I use DDT as
a spray over my poultry to rid
the flock of body lice?
ANSWER: R. E. Greaves, poul
try pathologist at State College,
suggests that you use the general
methods of dusting, dipping, or
reating the roost' poles with nico
Une sulphate until more is found
out about the use oi DDT. He
says that the nicotine sulphate
preparations- enjoy their wide
popularity because of their high
efficiency and the ease with which
the flock can be treated. Nicotine
sulphate is not only good for de
lousing poultry but is also effi
cient against the tropical fowl
mites.
QUESTION: Will a few sheep be
profitable on the average farm?
ANSWER: P. E. Swindell of
Linger Longer Farm at Fairfield
an d County Agent J. P. Woodard
at Hyde County can answer this
question. Swindell keeps from 15
to 20 sheep on his 80-acre farm
and his receipts from lambs and
wool during the past three years
are $631. "They run in the fields
in winter after the crops are har
vested and go to a grazing crop
in early spring," Swindell say s.
"They are good lawn mowers and
I find them profitable. I can shoot
straight when the dogs bother
them."
QUESTION: How can I make a
home-made egg candler?
ANSWER: Take a wooden or
cardboard box and bore a one
inch hole in the end of the box
about the center. Suspend a' 50 to
75 watt light bulb in the box and
provide a reflector, say a white
piece of paper, opposite the hole
bored in the box. It is a good idea
to make a small opening in the
top of tht box at the back side so
that you can see how to move
about the room. Candling should
be done in a dark room where no
iidht other than the light from the
candler is present.

Draw on your imagination for a
?nomcnt and consider with me an
altogether improbable circum
?tance. Suppose a well-groomed
gentleman with an easy flow of lan
guage should mount an improvised
platform in the public square of an
agricultural county-seat town *next :
Saturday afternoon, play a phono
graph record through a loud speak
er to get an audience, and then
6hould say:
"Ladies and Gentlemen ? there is
just so much water in the entire
| universe; so much and no more. Any
time you drink more of it than you
i need to quench your thirst, you are
greedy because some unfortunate
person somewhere on earth -wants
j water. He is thirsty. His throat is
| dry and his lips are parching. And
; it is all for want of the water which
' you so wantonly swallow."
It Is Not True
j Such a speaker would soon lose
I his audience. People would walk j
away and leave him. Some of them j
might think about having his head
examined because they know his
ideas are out of joint. There is no
connection whatever between one
man's abundance of water and some
far-away stranger's thirst. The need
of the sufferer, . even if he were a
yictim of cruelty, is apart from the
owner of a good well. 1
But the -speaker might hold his 1
audience if he said something like
this: "Ladies and Gentlemen ? there
is just so much wealth in the world;
so much and no more. Anybody
with more than he needs for food,
clothes and shelter is greedy be
cause there are many people in
China and India who never had a
square meal in their lives. They are
poor because a few people get very
rich."
Another Fallacy
This speech is no nearer true than
the one about the water. Both have
some facts in them but they are not
related facts* I am not trying to say
that wealth is free and cheap like
water, but I am saying this: My
neighbor s fine home and big car
have cost me nothing. He has more
than I have because he (or his fa
ther maybe) has more wealth-creat
ing ability than I have.
There it such a thing as oppression
of the poor. There is such a thing
as exploiting labor. It is a crime
which Jesus decried openly. It Is
also a short-sighted vice because it
leads toward poverty and not toward
wealth. "Good money in circula
tion ' is a manifestation of prosper
ity and it occurs only in lands where
workers are well paid and thus per
mitted to maintain good homes and
live in comfort.
America's Blessing
Workers are paid weU in Amer
ica, twice as well as in England and
six times as well as in Russia, and
America is a rich country. Fami
lies live on $1 a month per person
in China ? China is a poor country.
Is China poor because America is
rich? No! Without the United
States as a customer, and supplier,
the Orient would be poorer still,
j The difference is that we have lib
erty, and they have oppression.
We Americans receive countless
benefits from God's hand that peo
ple Jn other countries never heard
about. Is God partial to America?
Certainly not! Our benefits come
through a channel that the rulers of
other countries have blindly and
selfishly closed by exploiting labor
Our God-fearing ancestors opened It
for us long ago. The channel it
personal freedom, protected by rep
resentative, constitutional govern*
ment.

Remember the old saying about the manP^
who "couldn't see the forest for the trees'?
Lots of people are like that All they see is
trees. OthersJook at the forest and see it
filled with books, magazines, newspapers.
They see the raw materials of many great
industries which depend on pulpwood,
such as rayon and plastics. They see car
tons and boxes, and many other
products manufactured from pulpwood.
They see jobs and wealth. Security for
the workers and prosperity for the entire
community. And if this forest wealth is
properly harvested, it will increase in
value in the years to come.
Let* s take another look at our woods.
Let's look at the trees and see the oppor
tunities that lie within*
Cut This Ad Out
If you know tome man getting out of
the service, or out of war work and
looking for a future that offers a good
income and a good life, cut this ad out
and send it to him. ,>,
Maybe his big opportunity lies right
here.
