A,—Whore this condition ap

the exhausted condition of the
egg producing organs is the
cause. In the spring there is a
tendency for eggs to become
watery due to the increase in
water and green feed consumed.

“A Little Neater, a Little
Better."
"Washington.—The navy has
detailed shore retrenchments
through which it hopes to save
approximately $18,000,000 of
the $55,000,000 reduction in its
e.stimate.s ordered for the next
fiscal year. ^
Secretary Swanson in outlining
the “principles” to be followed
with regard to the land navy sta
tions said in effect that slashes
and economies would be made
wherever possible.
By way of concrete instances,
the accompanying order said H
naval radio stations would be
closed: the naval training station
at Newport, R. I., would he re
duced to a bare maintenance
status; the headquarters of the
eighth naval district at New Or
leans would be moved to (’harles-
ton. S. ('.. and those of the ninth
naval district would be transfer
red from Great Lakes, 111., to
Chicago. These were only a few
of the changes affecting virtually
every shore base in the country.
The order said the status of
navy yards at Portsmouth, Bos
ton, Philadelphia and Charleston
would depend on whether funds
are made available for new con
struction wliich, under present
plans, will be included in the
i ptiblio works program being
drafted.
Instead of the $325,000,000
which the navy expected from ap
propriations and a residiiee left
over from last year the depart
ment informed that its budget
for the fiscal year beginning July
1 must not exceed $270,000,000.
T :ie additional economies are
exi>ected from limitations on fleet
operation and other retrench
ments at sea, reduction in civilian
personnel, furloughs and the pos
sible retirement of officers.

75,000 Canadians
Go Back To Farms
The ”back-to-the-farm” move
ment launched in Canada a lit
tle more than two years ago by
the department of colonization,
in cooperation with the two
leading Canadian railways, has
resulted in more than 76.000
persons returning to the occupa
tion from which they had been
lured to city luxuries in the
boom days of 1928-29.
This number, according to
Robert J. C. Stead of the depart
ment of colonization and immi
gration of the Dominion, is made
up of 10,733 families which aver
age five each, representing 53,-
000 souls, plus the 23,253 men
who have gone back to the farm
as laborers. These figures do not
include the placements made by
the provincial and city govern
ments.
“Back in 1930, the unemploy
ed in Canada were estimated at
200,000,” says Mr. Stead. “So
This year spring car care has
two important aspects—the usu
al steps for increas’d efficiency,
and elimination of the unsafe
factors that caused an increased
number of accidents last year,
according to A. A. Cashioii, Fire
stone dealer. He gives here sue-1
gestions from his experience witii
thousands of motorists. He takes
up the matter of safe tires first,
advising that tire prices are
bound to go up and now is the
time to save money.
“It will come as news to many
motorists that an old or worn tire
is less safe now than at the
height of winter; from now on
tires will run hotter, and heat is
their greatest enemy," he said.
“Blow-outs will be more com
mon.”
The axiom that any car is only
as safe us its tires is one that
motorists should keep in mind,
Mr. Cashion asserts. Unlike
brakes and headlights, there are
no legal specifleations as to
what is a safe tire. There is, how
ever, a common-sense definition
—a tire with the non-skid tread
worn oft or a tire worn down to
the fabric is unsafe.
“Such tires should he replaced
for safety of yourself and other
motorists if for no other reason,”
he said. “Put actually it will cost
you less money to replace worn
tires than wait until they are
punctured or go flat. The last
1000 miles in the average tire is
worth only 39 cents, based on to
day's prices and mileages. New
Firestone tires have extra values
at no extra cost, and they will im
prove the appearance and hand
ling of your car, give added safe
ty, and cost you less in the long
run.
“The brake lining on thou
sands of cars is now worn to a
wafer-like thinness. It is past
the normal expectancy. The
brake drums are being damaged.
It will amaze you to find how
much safer your car ‘feels' wirt
new lining, such as that recent
ly announced by Firestone—
that is impervious to moisture, i.s
a new revelation in ‘soft pedal'
control and sets new standards of
long wear.
“The batter has been under a
strain in cold weather, and by
spring is probably in a weaker
condition. Its charging rate
should be checked and the gene
rator adjusted for summer driv
ing. .^t the Firestone battery
factorie.s—which are consdered
the most efficient in the world—
ob.servation of ibalteries in test
cars prove that battery testing
extends the life and service of
the batteries.
“The worn windshield wiper
should be replaced. Lights should
be inspected. Radiator hose and
fan belt should be inspected and
the radiator flushed and foreign
matter removed with a depend
able compound, such as Firestone
radiator cleaner.
“If your spark plugs are worn
—thus wasting a gallon of gas in
every ten—it will pay you to
give them attention. In replac
ing plugs that have gone 10,000
miles, and putting in new .Fire
stone spark plugs you will see a
vast improvement in performance
of your car.”
Q.—Should sweet potatoes
planted on rich land?
A.—'No. Rich land causes ex
cessive vine growth and produces
“rooty” potatoes. It also causes
cracking of the potatoes. In land
of this kind is used, the fertilizer
application should not exceed 160
pounds of muriate of potash and
400 pounds of superphosphate an
acre. Fertilizer carrying any
nitrogen content should not he
used. Sweet potatoes yield best
on sands or sandy loam soils.

Q,—What causes milk to get

A.—This is caused usually by
a germ which gets In the milk

cleaned milk vessels. To remedy
this, it is necessary to eliminate
the cause. The cow’s body and
udder should be carefully cleaned
'before milking. The vessels
should be thoroughly sterilized

in a place as free from dust as

possible. The hands should also

Maxwell Notes Upward
/Turn In State Revenue
Raleigh, May 1. — Revenue
Commissioner A. J. Maxwell, one
of the hardest men in the world
for a nightmare to kick, saw up
ward turns today when he gave
out revenue figures.
April, 1933, was better than
April, 1932. It was the first bet
ter month in a long time. The
improvement’in state highway
revenues came while the general
assembly still sits but does not
sit still. Whether that will en
courage the body that Nick
Posey, the clever 10-year-old
page, calls the “saloons,” Nick’s
word for solons, nobody knows.
The general assembly bad about
abandoned the highways as the
hope chest.
The upward turn was the big
thing. It seems to help those
prophets who have been guessing
at this business a long time with
out a naming of names. Mr.
Maxwell named them today. He
said:
Revenue collections for the
month of April give a reasonable
hope of a definite turn in reve
nue trends, in line with a defi
nite turn in 'business conditions.
There was some increase in
both general fund and highway
revenue, as compared with April,
1932, hut the trend seems par
ticularly noticeable in highway
revenue. There was an increase
of $53,918.27 in motor vehicle
license sales -and of $50,097.88
in gasoline revenue compared
with a year ago. The statement
figures show increase In gasoline
collections of $623,479.94, but
$573,382.06 represents addition
al collections by reason of short
ening of time of payment under
the new law effective April 1st,
leaving a net increa.se, compar
able with April, 1932, of $50,
097.88, or a total in highway
revenue over last April of $104,-
016.15.
couraged, as in previous years,
it was decided to launch an ef
fort to encourage Canadians
themselves to go hack to the
farm.
“The whole movement is cal
culated to cultivate and restore
the spirit of self-reliance and
self-help. Not a dollar of public
money or private philanthropy
has been advanced either as a
gift or loan. There has ibeen no
paternalism, no sapping of per
sonal initiative. The government
and the railways simply provide
an escape from difficulties in the
only effective way—by helping
'pejple -to help themselves.”
Union county fanners have

farmers of the county are re
