PLAGUES OF BRITAIN I By Bateman FAMOUS ENGLISH CARTOONIST ^ I I HORN RIMS Changing Food Habits Aids Dairy Farming The change in diet of the American people during the pas; 20 years to where more fruit, vegetables and dairy products are consumed is causing a shift in production to meet these new demands and is especially having .an effect on the dairy industry. A. C. Kimrey, dairy extension spe cialist at State College, has been dig ging into these facts recently and re ports a phenomenal shift to milk, but ter and cheese during the last two de cades. At the same time there has been a decline in the demand for meats. This increasing desire for dairy pro dues, however, is having its effect in the keeping of more and better dairy cattle and is further resulting in the, — supply of meat—to come as a by-pro duct of the dairy, industry. In other words, the veal calves and unprofitable milk cows are sold by dairymen for beef purposes and when these cows especially are properly fat tened, they furnish a nutritious and palatable meat at a comparatively low price. This is because the meat is com ing as a by-product of the dairy in dustry and not as the Ihain purpose of the industry. Government Seed Loans To Be Placed Carefully Though the maximum loan which will be made to any farmer out of the reconstruction loan fund set up by Congress amounts to $400, it is more likely that this amount will average around $75. Only 50 million dollars has been appropriated for this fund and further money will be dependent upon the sale of bonds issued for the purpose. The fund this year is not for farmers alone in drought areas but for all the farmers in the United States, except in two states, who cannot get credit locally. "This means,” says Dean I. O. Schaub of State College, "that the county committees must scrutinize all applications very carefully and that further inspection of the applications will be made in Washington before any loan is approved. Then, too, no loan will be allowed for any increase in cash crops. Some increases will be al lowed in truck crops grown for home use. The farmer growing over 10 acres of cotton and three acres of to bacco last year must agree to reduce his acreage by 35 percent for both crops this year and no man who did not grow the two crops last year will be given a loan to produce such crops this year.” Cops Fight Mouse In Comrade’s Pants Hammond, Ind.—"Help!” yelled Policeman Roy McCutcheon. Residents near the Poor Relief Com missary, where the officer was on duty, couldn’t turn down a cry like that, so they too shouted for aid. The reserves came. They laid Mc Cutcheon on his back and sat on him. Then they turned him over and sat on the other side. Having done this, they pulled out a dead mouse, which during its hap pier moments had chosen to run up the inside of McCutcheon’s trouser leg. Flags Ot Cotton \ Fly On Capitol In Mississippi Jackson, Miss.—Cotton flags are now flying from the Mississippi cap itol building here. Walker Woods, secretary of state, ordered the flags recently when the regular State flag and the United States banners became worn. "It’s a new use for cotton,” he said. "Maybe the Government will order its next set for the Army and Navy out of the same material.” Spray For Scale Before New Growth Before new growth begins in the orchards of North Carolina, growers should determine the amount of scale on their trees and give the orchards a thorough spraying. "Scale insects increase at a rapid rate and will spread over the orchards in large areas before any increases are noticed if the owner is not observant,” says C. H .Brannon, extension ento mologist at State College. "Oils are now being used widely in scale con trol. This kind of spray is very effec tive and should be used without fail where scale damage is severe or where the oyster shell scale or scurfy scale is known to occur. Lime-sulphur has been the standard scale spray for years and if thoroughly applied at proper strength, ordinary infestations may be controlled.” Good results from spraying usually depend upon three important factors, says Mr. Brannon. The propert mate rial must be obtained; it must be prop erly mixed, and it must be carefully and thoroughly applied. A great deal depends upon using a suitable spray machine. Good results will not be ob tained with broken, worn-out ma chines. How To Keep Out Of The Big Money Here are just a few little tricks that will help any man or woman along the road to failure.
