Polly and Peter did so. too. Thus they e-llm-ln-at-ed fear Of skipping things that were to do. All knew that work that's weU begun By rareful planning is balf done. This marks the beginning ot a | new month, a new year, and a new decade. Farming depends largely on what the Individual makes of it, so now is a good time to turn over a new leaf and start improving your agricultural program, say State College specia lists. And here are suggestions which they offer for the month of January. First, Dr. ft. ? F. Poole, plant pathologist, urges that farmers prepare their tobacco seed beds on new sites, locating them where good soil drainage, good ventila tion, and sunshine are available during the entire day. Such pre cautions will create conditions less favorable to blue mold than shaded, damp areas. Then W. H. Rankin, agronomist says judicious use of fertilizers, proper handling of the soil, and the use of good seed are factors which every grower should bear in mind when planning his 1940 farming operations. Keeping the cost of production as low as pos sible may mean the difference betiween success and failure. John Arey. extension dairyman, says let's begin the New Year right by resolving that the care and feed which we give our dairy cattle during 1940 will not be jresponsible for any loss that might |occur In conducting our dairy busi ness. Uncomfortable cowb. fed on I rations deficient bot<h in quality and in quantity, cannot produce I efficiently. And speaking of beginning the year right, Enos Blair, extension agronomist, adds that January is the best time to plan crop rota tions and general farm manage ment systems, and to take an in ventory so as to keep accurate records on farming operations. For the orchardlst, H. R. Nis wonger offers these suggestions: If the ground Is not frozen, fruit trees may be planted during Jan uary; spraying and pruning fruiti trees, shrubs, and grape vines may be done on favorable days; and field mice may be destroyed through the use of a poisoned bait. Roy Dearstyne. head of the State College poultry department points out that every precaution should be taken to start only quality chicks. Cheap chicks, he says, are usually the most expen sive In the long run. Don't over crowd the chicks. Allow each two birds one square fopt of floor space in the brooder house. Watch temperatures carefully, since more chicks are killed by over heating than chilling. Finally, H. W. Taylor, extension swine specialist, says the entire breeding herd of hogs should have access to green feed during the winter months. If grazing crops are not available, feed a green leafy legume hay In a rack. Alfal fa, soybean, or lespedeza hay Is good. If you sell hogs commercial ly. avoid soft pork. I _ ^ ; COTTON COUNCIL RKVIKW8 UKHl'LTS OF 19.19 PROOKAM Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 9. ? Look ing forward to a program of greafc ly Increased activity on all major fronts in the battle for increased cotton consumption during 1940, officials of the National C6tton Council today reviewed a lengthy list of concrete accomplishments of Its 1939 campaign. Attributing a major portion of the credit for greatly Increased favorable publicity for cotton pro ducts to the 2,800 newspapers of the Cotton Belt, the Council Bald that during 1939 Belt editors had devoted almost $1,000,000 worth of space to cotton and Its pro ducts. Other favorable publicity came as a result of cot>ton pro grams staged by nearly 2,000 civic clubs throughout the Belt, test campaigns involving the use of "Pick Cotton" postage meter plates and the distribution of 500 outdoor posters featuring the 1940 program theme. Special projects to stimulate the use of cotton products Included the co-sponsorshlp and promotion of the most successful National Cotton Week In the history of the event, the staging of the Cotton Belt's first annual Cotton Christ mas, a campaign In which more than 760 newspapers promoted the household re-use of coMon bags, completion of arrangements with a large Southern coffee firm to distribute more than 3,000,000 cotton towels as premiums during 1940, Belt-wide promotion of a new cottonseed hull bran sweep ing compound perfected by the Cotton Research Foundation, and successful negotiations with a large flour mill to use cottonseed shortening exclusively In Its na tionally distributed biscuit mix ture. CombaMIng discriminatory taxes on cottonseed^food products, the Council reported the successful defense of these products against 29 state legislative attempts to levy new or increased taxes and license fees. In bhe field of scientific re search to discover new uses for cotton, the Council adopted the Cotton Research Foundation as Its research ? agency, pledging Its financial support to the organisa tion In carrying out projects al ready under way and new pro jects to be evolved Jointly by the two organisations. During 1939 the Council also Initiated the first exhaustive survey of cotton roads. Continuing its efforts to ex pand foreign trade, the Council wai successful In securing more favorable war risk insurance terms and assisted materially in the organization of the new Cot ton Export Corporation. Results of studies on net weight selling of cotton are now being submitted to tihe industry, with a final re port to be made at the Council's annual convention in February. NO LAUGHING MATTER I Wash White got a Job in a saw mill. The boss put him in charge of a buzz saw, showed him how the saw worked, warned him of Its dangers, and then went away. Wash was fascinated by the shining whirling saw. Buti was It, truly, as sharp and terrible as the boss had said? To test it he touched It gently with his finger. Bzz! and the finger was no more. As Wash was ruefully tying up his hand In his bandana the boss came back. "Hullo there, Washington. What's the matiter?" "Buzz saw done cut off my fin ger, Bah." "How the dickens did that hap pen?" "Ah dunno, sah." said Wash. "Ah just touched de darn con traption like an" ? Fo' de lan' sake, der goes anudder one!" The increasing use of home grown feeds and the wider use of production records as a guide to breeding are tending to lower the cost of milk production in the United 8tates.
