Emergency Crop Loan Information CLEAN BROODER HOUSE • FOR HEALTHY CHICKS CROSSED OCEAN 145 TIMES I, -Copenhagen. — Dr. Phillip G. Peabody, American lawyer, died ^ suddenly in a hotel here at the ^ age of seventy-seven years. He bad crossed the Atlantic 145 times. MAKE 200-INCH TELESCOPE MIRROR Corning, N. Y.—After months of study, glass makers are about ready to pour twenty tons of mol ten glass into a mold to make a 200-inch telescope mirror, which expected to reveal objects one billion light years distant. As tronomers, with a grant of $6,000,- 000, have been working on the problem for several years. Some months ago, a mirror 120- inches in diameter, the biggest one ever made, was poured and took five months to cool. It weighed five tons and has no flaw. The new mirror will be shipped to Pasadena where months will be necessary to grind and shape it before it <vill be located on some mountain top in Southern Cali fornia. 7 KILLED, 10 INJURED The greatest chick losses occur during the brooding period which maVtis it necessaryto clean the oughi^ placed in it. “To go about having a sanit brooder house the poultrym; should first scrape all the old manure and dirt from the lower side walls and floor of the house and clean the water containers, mash hoppers and other equipment used in the house,” declares H. C. Gauger, associate professor in the poultry department at State Col lege. “After this throilgh me chanical cleansing has been done, the lower side walls, floor, water containers, feeding equipment, brooder stove and canopy should be scrubbed with a lye solution made by dissolving one pound of lye in 10 gallons of hot water. A ■stiff bristle broom may be used to apply the solution. This lye mix ture will not only further cleanse the house but it also has germ- killing power. ■ Where the poultry- man has a fire gun, he may use this instead of the lye solution.” After the brooder house has been thoroughly cleaned, it must be cleaned again at intervals during the brooding period. If the hous3 has a dirt floor, remove the top few inches and replace it with clean dry soil, sand or gravel. Mr. Gauger also advises the use of wire frames on which to place the feeders and water containers. The house needs to be free from drafts and if it is movable, it is well to take it to a new location after cleansing. Do not crowd the chicks in the house. Gauger says. About six square inches of floor space per chick is necessary for good healt’n. Regulations for nr'aking emer gency crop loans fror- the $40,000,- 000. fund recently nKjde available by Congress indicatt that a far mer may obtain such a loan if he cannot qualify for ere lit elsewhere, if he has a justifie 1 need for credit and if he is co>jt)srating with the production ’ conf ol program of the Agricultural -Adjustment Administration, acc' i ding to a. .statement made tod: y by S. M. Garwood, Production Credit Com missioner of the I'arm Credit Ad ministration. The maximum amount which will be made available to any one far mer this year is $250\nd the mini mum is $25 accordi. g to regula tions. The interest i-ate will be 5 1-2 per cent per annum.

JAPS BUY SCRAP IRON Buenos Aires. — Seven persons were killed and ten injured in an automobile race over dirt roads, when the winner made a vain at tempt to avoid hitting an inebri ated spectator. ITie drunk walked on to the road at the finish to cheer the approaching car which, in attempting to dodge him, ran into a crowd of spectators, killing three other men, a woman and a child. New York.—Exporters see little basis for reports that purchases in this country indicate warlike preparations. Practically no ex plosives have been contracted for and the only suspicion attaches to Japanese orders for scrap iron. Last year Italy and Japan broke all records for scrap iron by buy ing 800,000 tons in this country, most of which moved to Japan. Munitions men, however, see evi dences of war preparations on a fairly large scale in heavy nitrate shipments from Chile to Japan and the opening of an industrial ex plosives plant in Japan where the market is considered over sup plied. Federal Reserve holdings of gold certificates up $130,000,000. ions will be ^ade known 1 within a short time. Before any farmer may secure a loan, however, he must first ob tain a statement from the County Production Council where one exists, that he does not intend to increase his acreage or production in opposition to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration pro gram. Where a county production council has not been set up, the applicant will have to give satis factory evidence that he is co operating with the production con trol program of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration before his application for a loan will be considered. Applications for loans from $25 to $150 may be made directly to the emergency crop loan offices provided the applicants do not have sufficient security to obtain loans elsewhere. A farmer applying for a loan of $150 or more must first make ap plication for a loan to the Produc tion Credit Association serving his county. Rejection of his applica tion by the Production Credit Association will be considered suf ficient evidence that other credit is not available and the farmer may then make application to the emergency crop loan office. The emergency crop loans are entirely separate from, and are not to be confused with production credit association loans. The Emer gency Crop Loan Fund is an emer gency relief measure for this year only, to make available funds to those who cannot qualify for credit through the regular channels of a production credit association. In announcing the regulations Mr. Garwood said he could not emphasize too strongly that the emergency crop loans are to pro vide a means of temporary relief for this year only, and that this year’s loans probably ^rill be the last of their kind. Farmers who have a. source of income other than farming are not eligible for emergency crop loans. The fund will be used to make loans not exceeding the cash cost of growing crops duriijg the year 1934, for summer foljowing, and for winter wheat to be planted in 1934 and harvested in 1935. An amount from the fund, not to ex ceed $1,000,000 may be used to make loans to pure lase feed for (Please turn to rjage three) 1.

T'he boys’ team of the Spring Hope High School added two more victories during the past week as Nashville and Bailey were he vic tims. At the same time the Spring Hope girls’ team was not quite as successful as they split in their two games. Bailey Games. Bailey met Spring Hope on the former’s court last Tuesday night with the home team going down' in defeat in both games. The i Spring Hope girls took the first | game 28-6 as they scored at will j while holding Bailey scoreless dur-! ing the last half. In this game Misses Keener, Alford, and Hayes were in the limelight for Spring Hope. 'The boys’ game presented the appearance of a walkaway. At no time was there ever a doubt as to the outcome of the game and Spring Hope won easily 20-1, Bailey scoring a foul toss just forty-five seconds before the game ended. Spring Hope-Nashville Divide In a game filled with thrills the Spring Hope girls lost a 14-12 de cision to” .Coach Davis’ Nashville team last Thursday on the local floor. From the outset the gam^ was hard fought with Spring Hope holding an early lead but they lost their lead during the stretch anH.^^ere never able to close the gap. Nashville^^^^Kiord and 1 ews did likaBJ^for Spring Hop? The SpriJ^ Hope boys won over Nashville 28-14 Thursday night. This game I was one of the best games played here this season and in Downey,'Nashville forward, was seen perhaps one of the two best men to appear on the court here this season. This boy was found to be elusive, fast, and an accurate shot when open. Spring Hope played at a disad vantage with both Weaver, elong ated center, and Murray, midget guard on the sick list, but Coach Johnson filled the gaps with Stott and Baines and each of these boys gave an account of themselves be fore the game ended. Perhaps no prettier pass Tv'ork has been seen here this season than during this game. Although the Spring Hope attack is slow and at times the spectators get over anxious, it is and has proven a surer means of obtaining a sui- cessful end than the faster and more eratic attack.

Finch of Stan hope, has recently made a record. His ride in a closed box to Beau fort County required three hours but his homeward trek of 111 miles four days and nights. Freed, he left hunters and dogs and returned a stiff, footsore, and dingy animal that was not satis fied until he had seen each mem ber of the household. COST $250 TO RESCUE DOG Catawba County cotton grow ers expect to get between $80,000 and $85,000 this year from their rental and parity payments. Philadelphia. — Hearing howls I and seeing a dog on a cake of ice I some disance off shore, a passerby • notified police and a fire boat, with a crew of fourteen and three policemen, set out to find the ani mal. An hour afterwards they found the dog, chilled and terri fied on a small ice float, and Patrolman Corliss jumped to the ice. He slipped into the river but managed to get the dog and was dragged back to the boat. Offi cials estimated that it cost $250 in time and fuel to rescue the dog. —0 One hundred and fifty mountain boys and girls have joined the 4-H clubs being organized in Clay County this winter by the farm agent. Some of our most revered au thors were guilty of “stealing" ideas for plots. T'he March issue of The Golden Book clearly reveals this fact as follows: “All my best thoughts weiv stolen by the ancients.”—R. ~W. Emerson. “The original of Poe’.< ‘Raven’ was ‘The Fu-niao, or Bird of Fate,’ written by the Chinese foet Kia. Yi, an exiled minister of state, in the second century B. C.” “ ‘The Merchant of Venice’ is taken from oriental tales called ‘The Bond’ .ind ‘The Casket’.” “ 'Robinson Crusoe’ is based on the adventures of Alexander Sel kirk who was found on the island of Juan Fernandez by the pirate.' Woodes Rogers and Edward Cooke. Richard Steele published in thft ‘Englishman’ an interview with them in 1773.” “Parson Weems attributed tu. Geo. Washington the cherry tree story which he had found in the works of an English minister who told the ancedote about a boy named John who cut down an apple tree.” “ ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is modeled after ‘Marioto and Giannoza,’ writ, ten by Massuccio Salemitano in 1515. The story is much the same, except that in the Italian story the lady committed suicide by hold ing her breath.” BUY BOTTLED WATER Vladivostok, Siberia. — Lack of snowfall has forced people to give up baths and limit their use of water to the barest essentials. The water shortage in this area usually occurs in .the spring, lasting ona month, during which people have to buy expensive bottled water. The present shortage is causing much concern. . o /—: The largest acreage yet seeded to lespedeza is being planted in Lincoln County this season for both soil improvement and hay. I
