By MABEL DAVIS
The Librarian
Welcome Home
The return of Dr. Gibbs and MrsSeligman,
two of our very good library
friends who have been out of
town since the beginning of summer?the
former visiting his son in
Charlotte, the latter spending a
pleasant summer with relatives in
Pittsburg and New York?has made
glad the hearts of their friends.
Both are frequent visitors to the
library and our staff extends a
hearty welcome.
In and About the Library
"The Oppermanns," by Lion Feuchtwanger,
gift of Mrs- Seligman, is
the latest addition to our shelvesIt
is a German story written with
sympathy for the Jews, though I am
not sure the author, whose real
name is not given, is a Jew. We
have one other book?Josephus?by
the same author and I think I can
recommend "The Oppermanns"
without having read it. Other
friends have remembered us with
flowers during the week. The wild
dogwood from Miss Lula Allen's
garden has attracted the attention
of all who have been in the libraryI
need not say that we appreciate
these gifts.
For Juniors
Many of you have discovered that
"series" books are taboo in public
libraries. Perhaps you have wondered
why we have not bought the
"Betty Drew" books, and some others
you would like to read. One
reason is that we haven't a lot of
money and we are sure that you
will be able to borrow as many as
will be good for you, for books of
that type are cheap- You must
have noted, too, that they have no
place on the accredited reading list
for your grade- Unless you belong
to the time-killer class you have
guessed the reason. Books that
merely entertain you for the mo
ment are like funny dreams. They
leave you with nothing to remember.
The "Twin'1 books by Mrs- Lucy
Fitch Perkins do not really belong
to the series class though there are
many of them, for no two of them
are about the same children. Mrs.
Perkins wrote them because she
wanted to help the American children
to feel more kindly toward the
children of foreigners, who are often
misunderstood in our city
schools.
The author of the "Twin" books
is an artist. Did you ever notice
how many authors are skilled artists?
She taught art in a fashionable
art school before her marriageShe
had also been employed by
publishers to draw the illustrations
for their books while she lived in
Boston. So when her children were
both in school and she found time
to take up her old work again, she
was kept busy illustrating stories for
other people. The publisher for
whom she worked asked her why
she did not write her own stories.
one aeciaea to try and "The Dutch
Twins" was what she wrote- It was
a great success, so she continued to
write. She spent much time in
studying the problems of some of
the European nations. She read of
the hardships that came to the
tenant farmers of Scotland because
the wealthy landowners decided to
turn their large farms into hunting
preserves, leaving the tenants with
no land to cultivate. The Scotch
Twins tells us something about that.
The Pioneer Twins give us some
idea of the courage of the children
of the American pioneers- All of
Mrs. Perkins books really leave the
reader a deeper understanding of
the problems of other people and
are therefore good reading for the
grades for which they were written.
How different they are from the
"Tom Swift" books in which the
same boys and their adventures are
carried through about thirty books.
Most all books fall into one of two
classes; those that merely entertain
and those that leave the reader
with a deeper understanding of
people- "Pleasure" books are good
in their way, but they do not supply
the nourishment required for growing
minds. A good book should do
inai, i tninK.

Farm Questions
And Answers
Question: How can peanuts be
staked to prevent spoilage? '
Answer: The stack should be built i
so that the nuts are not exposed to I
the weather and finished in such a 1
way that water will not run down ]
the center. Canvas hay caps are 1
recommended for use on top of the
stack. Nail two cross arms on the 1
center pole 12 inches from the top :
to keep the vines off the ground- <
Loose soil in the stack will also <
cause damage to the pods and nuts ]
and for this reason the ground <
should be fairly dry when the pea- ]
nuts are dug.

Question: May skim milk or but- i
termilk be substituted for the dried '
milk recommended in the poultry
laying mash?

duced on the farm this substitution :

feed cost for the average farm
flock. When only the dried milk is
removed from the mash, one gallon
of skim milk or buttermilk
should be fed daily to 100 hensWhen
skim milk or buttermilk is
fed at the rate of three gallons a
day for the 100 birds, it may be
substituted for all of the dried milk
products, one-half of the fish meal,
and one-half of the meat meal recommended
Question: How can I control cattle
lice on my calves?
Answer: The following remedies
have proven effective in controlling
this insect. A four percent solution
of creolin applied with a spray
pump or brush; cotton seed oil and
kerosene, equal parts, and ground
babadilla seed and flowers of sulphur,
equal parts, applied in powder
form. A dip or liquid remedy
should be applied in an even layer
over the entire body of the animal, j
Oils, however, should not be used
on very warm or very cold daysWhen
powder is used the hair
should be clipped from the affect- j
ed parts of the body and the powder
applied only on the clipped j
places- A second treatment should
be given within fifteen days to kill j
lice which hatch after the first'
treatment.

Workers are attacked and slain

the farmers carry on and

CHEMURGY
Motoring around West Florida a *
ittle while ago, I encountered doz- g
:ns of farm motor trucks loaded
vith pine cordwood. The farmers;1
vere hauling logs to the paper mill;c
it Panama City, where 600 tons of ?
>aper a day are made from pine
food- It is a new and permanent r
iource of income for owners of pine 1
nd, if they are careful not to cut *
he trees faster than new ones grow,
rhe "slash" pine of the South
frows big enough for pulpwood in
;even years, so the owner who cuts s
)nly one-seventh of his wood every 8
rear has a continuous source of in- c
:ome. The demand for pulpwood
s growing fast. Four more big ^
>aper mills are being built in Flor- <da,
a dozen more elsewhere in the a
South. c
The discovery that Southern pine v
nakes good paper came out of a f
:hemical laboratory. It is the most 1
mportant item, so far, in the new 1
novement which is called "chemjrgy."
That means the use of t
jroducts of the soil for industrial 0
jurposes. a
Farming in the future will not be ^

Chinese for "heart." The leaves
ire a glossy dark green and remain
