VT AT l> Well, prohibition, as it has been long known, is a matter of past liistory. The ^amly doctor still faces the problem of "hard liquor”. With beverage alcoholics the fam ily physician has absolutely nothing to do. Nobody knows the terrible (effects of inebriety better than your aoctonrie is me nrm ais ciple ojrtefflperanie 5rTa!r"ihings— if he is not, then he i$ a true phy sician, as he should be. His mot to should be, as it has ever been mine: A well man NEVER NEEDS IT—a sick man SELDOM. We are now back to the status of plain living. Whether we make swine of ourselves or not, now de pends upon us, and not upon the law of the land. The raising of our children is now where it has ever been—in the hands of parents. This very weekT sat in a circuit court room, and1 heard a young fel low of seventeen testify on the ■witness stand, that he had been drunk every time he could get the stuff to make him so—for the past four or five years! Prohibition didn’t work in his case. It hasn t! worked in very, many cask-s. I heard this boy’s family doctor tes tify that he treated the young man for delirium tremens. The boy, an over-developed youngster, was a widow’s son; he had all along lacked parental con trol of the stricter sort. He would not go straight wthout it; the law seemed helpless in this case to do any real good'. It seems to me that parents should "tighten up their belts” and set in to doing their own policing, and results will be infinitely bet ter; in fact I know they will pro duce better results in temperance and sobriety. ■ ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS j 1.

W. Shay, swine! extension specialist at Srate College. A previous AAA ruling specified that if the 1932-33 hog litter av erage was less than three, the con tracting producer was not required to reduce hog production it 1934, and in any event was not eligible to receive any hog reduction pay ments. Under the new ruling, Shay says all producers will be entitled to reduction payments of 5 5 per head on a number of hogs equal to 7? percent of their past average of market hog production, provided their litter average and pr duction of hogs for market is reduced not less than 25 percent. In cases where the litter average is less than £our, this means that the contract ing producer will have to reduce by «ne litter in order to comply with I ! ~ Hawaii’s Governor Washington. . . .

Many modern poultry farms have rules of cleanliness as strict as those In a hospital. Visitors are not al lowed to enter man>' of the build ngs, lest they bring in some source jf infection on their shoes or cloth ng; and attendants cannot enter antil they have changed into clean ind sanitary garments. The average poultry raiser can lot, of course, follow such drastic ules; but he can maintain a very ugh order of cleanliness for his locks—in fact he must, if he wants :o grow healthy birds and realize :he highest profits from his busi ness. Here are some of the essentials af cleanliness in a poultry farm. Clean Houses: Sweep, clean scrub, and disinfect often. Use anly movable fixtures which can be :aken out for thorough cleaning. Clean Equipment: Rinse water lishes daily, scald once a week. K.eep other utensils clean at all :imes. ' Clean Ground: Never put chick ms on ground used the year before. ECeep surface soil well drained and arevent accumulations of filth. Clean Chicks: Use strong, heal thy chicks from blood tested stock. Clean Surroundings: Keep lum ber, manure, and straw piles away from the poultry plant. Fill up low places where stagnant water may collect. Burn dead bird:.. Observance of these cleanliness measures mean greater egg produc tion, eggs of better quality, lowered mortality, and greater profits. the contract, even though this will constitute more than a 25 percent reduction from the litter average. The change in ruing was made in consideration of an unexpected interest in the corn-hog program aim ng small hog farmeis. These, farmers now will have an oppor tunity to share in the proceeds of the processing tax being collected on the slaughtering of all hogs for market regardless of by whom sold. Tiny—women are a riddle, aren’t they? Judge—That’s right. They keep us constantly guessing, and still we hate to give them up. Vocational Essay % Prizes Announced To stimulate more interest in a study of the values of the rarer plant food elements in crop pro duction, the Division of Vocational Agriculture of the State Depart ment of Instruction announces an essay contest among students studying vocatonal agriculture in the high schools of the State. TLe contest is a cooperative project be tween the Divison and the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educational Bu reau. Field crops, like humajis, seem to thrive best on a variety of food and when some minor element of their food supply is absent, the de ■fp-rt- >ic rvffpn cppn in flip rpcnlfin cr growth of the yield. , Farmers ordinarily think of apply ing only three elements of plant food in their commercial fertilizers. Yet it hasi been accepted for a long time that available compounds of ten elements are necessary for the normal growth and maturing of agricultural crops. It is known also that a larger number than ten elements occur in small amounts in fertile soils and may be recovered in the ash of normal plants that have grown on such soils1. Recent research work has led in vestigators to believe that many of the so-called plant diseases are di rectly attributable to nutritional deficiencies. This is further em phasized by the fact that many of these troubles occur only in plants ___l_ i_ cultivation for a considerable length ^ of time. Much experimental work has been done in the past few years that has led to the conclusion that the so-called rare elements such as iron, magnesia, copper, manganese, zinc, iodine, boren, silicon and so dium, are of great importance in the production of normal yields of farm crops. Notable among these is the control of sand drown of tobacco by the addition of mag nesia in the fertilizers applied to tobacco. Because of the growing interest in this phase of plant proeluction, arrangements were made for this essay contest among the Agricul tural High School students of the State on the importance of the rare elements in natural fertilizer ma terials on crop production. The j contest is open to any High School student enrolled in any of the Ag ricultural classes. There will be five prizes in each of the four Vo- < cational Agricultural Districts of the State as follows: First prize — $15; second prize—$12.50; third j prize—$10; fourth prize—$7.50 and fifth prize—$5.00. In addi- | tion to these there will be a State prize of $25.00 and a regional prize of $50.00 for the winner among the Agricultural students in i the South. These prizes wll be j contributed by the Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau. Mr. Roy H. Thomas, State Su pervisor of Vocational Agriculture, anticipates a very active interest in this contest among the more than 7500 students enrolled in the Ag ricultural Departments in the High Schools of the State because of the timeliness of the subject, and the live interest of the students in cuj\ rent factors affecting crop produc- ^ tion.
