Farm Questions
Preventing Spread Of Mosaic;
Poultry Disease; Reamoving
Lambs From Ewe
Flock
QUESTION: How can I prevent
the spread of mosaic in my
jtobaoco fields?
ANSWER: Care should be
taken in topping, worming, and
suckering the tobacco plants. Be
sure that the healthy plants are
fcandling will spread the disease.
It will also aid in preventing
the spread of all diseased plants
are removed before each cultivation.
After the diseased plants
are removed, the hands and all
clothing should be carefully cleaned
before additional work is
done in the field.
QUESTION: What should be
done with the remaining birds in
a poultry flock after an outbreak
of coccidiosis ?
ANSWER: This depends upon
the severity of the disease, but
If the flock had a high rate of
mortality all the remaining birds
should be marketed as soon as
they reach broiler size. It is probable
that all the birds had the
disease in some degree and therefore
will develop into adult carriers.
The living birds would be
uneconomical from a production
standpoint and would also be a
menace to the health of all young
birds reared on the place.
QUESTION: When should
l lambs be removed from the ewe
flock ?
ANSWER: All lambs, whether
they are to be sold or not, should
be taken from their dams by
July first. They should then be
placed on the best pasture available.
If the pasture is not good,
grain may be supplied for about
two to three weeks to get them
started off. As a usual thing,
however, either soybeans or Sudan
grass will be available and
will furnish nutritious and succulent
grazing throughout the
summer. The ewes should be
put on short pasture for a week

Meeting Ghandi *
i
Raleigh Student Is Well
Acquainted With Mahatma
Ghandi, India's "Little
Old Man"
By Wm. H. RICHARDSON g
RALEIGH?There is in Raleigh h
a young student wno has met E
India's "little old man," whose ii
name is known around the world, t
and whose father, a missionary 0
in India, is well acquainted with r
Mahatma Ghandi, who works in t
sympathetic cooperation with d
all who are trying to bring about c
' better conditions among the squirming
masses of that hot, steam- a
ing much-divided land. a
L. A. Alley, student at the
University of Virginia, who was e
born in Maryland and whose e
father, the Rev. H. L. Alley, is d
a Virginian, held a conference s
with Dr. Caul V. Reynolds and q
others at the State Board of
Health. He is studying sanitary
engineering and hopes to be able y
to return to India and give the a
under-privileged rural people there h
the benefit of the knowledge he
is gaining here in America. ?
"I don't recall the highest tern- r
perature I have experienced in
India," he said, "but I do recall
that during one 24-hour o
period the minumum was 102,
and this occurred about 5 o'clock f
in the morning. However, it does j j:
turn a little cooler during the J
rainy season," he continued, |
"and at thhe place where I at- c
tended school, in the mountain
region, it is impossible to hold
sessions in winter, due to the t
extreme cold weather, so school ii
j goes on during the summer, instead.
The place Is a summer
resort. <
"Well-to-do citizens, of India, v
are able to leave the hot low
country and go to such places t
as this", he said, "but they are
comparatively few."
Mr. Alley is very much interest- c
ed in public health, he told Dr.
Reynolds and others with whom t
i he conferred. "I have seen men[c

"What are your impressions of
Jahatma Ghandi?" he was askd.
"He is a good, sincere man,"
fas the reply. "While he does l

Christians accept Him, yet he
hinks that, Jesus was one of ,

'Ghandi." the student continud.
"is sympathetic with the
rork of Christian missionaries,!'
lecause of the fact that they are
ngaged in trying to help the r
leople of India, especially the
ower classes. Ghandi and my dad
re great friends, and dad con- ,
ults him often about his work,
lways receiving a sympathetic
learing. This little old man, of
ndia, sees and talks freely with
I! who seek his advice, except
n his days of silence. Then, he I
ees no one and carries on no

Mr. Alley may spend the
ummer in North Carolina. Durng
his spare time at the Univerity
of Virginia, where he is
forking his way through school,
e coaches students who get belind
in math and other subjects.
There are many divisions among
he people of India, he said, esiecial)y
in matters of religion,
'he Hindu faith, he added, is the
irevailing faith. Adherents to
his believe, that men and women
etum and live in other bodies?
a animals, if they are bad, in
Igher forms of human exisence,
if they are good.
"Britain makes it a practice
lot to interfere with the cusoms
of people she rules, if
hese are not notoriously injurious,"
he said, "but when such
iractices are vicious, thev are1
tanned, as, for example, the for-1
ner custom of wives to throw
hemselves on their husbands'
turning funeral pyres."
Mo Danger Of War

today there was no danger
f a war involving England,
France, Germany and Italy in
he near future but that "if war
oes come the United State most
ertainly would be involved."
He said both Germany and It!y
were short of raw materials
ml could not persue a long war.
"Moreover, the whole of westrn
Europe, especially the southrn
part, is suffering from
Irought and short crops," he
aid. "Italy has by no means conuered
Ethiopia."

"No, sir," the youngster replied.

YOU would naturally expect
the Superfex Oil Burning
Refrigerator to be as good as it
is when you know it is made by
the Perfection Stove Company,
the world's best-known manufacturer
of oil burning household
equipment. That, and the fact that
thousands already have been giving
the finest service for as many
as ten years, in American rural
homes and in tropical countries,
is assurance of the satisfaction
you will have with one of these
fine refrigerators.
No matter how isolated your
home may be, tere is one convenience
you CAN have, and it's
more than that ?it will save
money for you, because fewer
trips to market Will be required,
and if you market butter and
other dairy products, dressed poultry,
eggs, etc., it will increase
your profits. And there will be no
more of that tiresome trudging
to cellars, wells, or other makeshifts.
And when you add to that
the delights of a greater variety
of wholesome, appetizing foods
