PAGE EIGHT THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1937 Attempts Being Made To Get Fees for Security Aid RALEIGH, July 14. Information has been received by the public assistance division of the state board of charities and public wel fare that in soine counties of the state certain unscrupulous persons are attempting to collect fees from aspirants for benefits under the social security program. Mrs. W. T. Bust, commissioner of the state welfare department, has issued a statement in which she says that all applicants or pros pective applicants should be warn ed against the payment of any fees in an effort to secure favorable consideration. '"It has come to our attention," Mrs. Bost said, "that in several counties efforts have ibecn made by , persons not connected with our state or county organizations to collect a fee from applications for old age assistance under "the- social security program. "This is a reprehensible practice, and. our department wishes it to become widely known that no fee HORN'S SHOE SHOP SAYS WE ARE STILL MENDING SHOES When your soles ravel And your heels tear We'll help you .travel In a bran' new pair.

"Organizations have been formed in all counties ,of the state for the purpose of receiving applications and making investigations to de termine eligibility for assistance. Workers in these organizations are regularly employed by and receive compensation from either the state or county governments, or both. . "Those eligible for and desiring relief under the social security program should visit their county welfare department, where trained workers will grant them interviews and investigate their conditions with a view to determining whether or not they are eligible for aid. Abso lutely no financial outlay of any kind by the applicant is necessary to the transaction. "We cannot permit such a gross misinterpretation of the excellent law which was ' designed to help the needy and underpriviliged not to obtain money from them." Neglected Chickens Produce Fewer Eggs . Low egg production in hot weath er often causes poultrymen to neg lect their flocks, with the result that production continues low in the fall when it should be increas ing. Good management in . hot weath er not only keeps birds in better condition for heavy production lat er, but it also keeps up production through the summer, said Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry de partment at State college. Shade to protect birds from the sain during the hottest part of the day is essential to thrifty. birds, he said. A portable range shelter pro vides shade where birds can feed and rest. Since range crops usually -become dry and unpalatable in summer, the birds need an ample ration in their feed, hoppers. Plenty of fresh water should be available at all times. Plenty of grain should be fed during the developing season. A good mash should be fed also as it contains vital food elements that are not provided in a grain diet alone. Where crippled and subnormal birds are found in the flock, they should be culled out at once. Such birds never pay a profit and their low vitality 6ften makes them the starting point for an outbreak of contagious disease. Lice and mite infestations occur frequently in summer and result in heavy losses unless checked at once. Fowl pox can be prevented by vaccinating the birds at an early age. The disease usually breaks out in the fall when the birds are in full lay and making a profit for their owner. Leghorns are espe cially susceptible to pox. Domestic Servants Must Have Health Reports Following will be found the law in relation to health certificates for domestic servants passed by the 1937 session of the general as sembly: "Section 1.

State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. When should lespedeza be cut for hay ? A. The crop should be cut when the plants attain a height of 15 inches, or when it is in full bloom, whichever occurs first. To wait later will injure the quality of the hay and also occasion the loss of the lower leaves. If cut early, les pedeza will make enough second growth to reseed the land well, but it is seldom possible to get a good hay crop and a seed crop the same year. The usual dates for cutting the Korean variety is about August 1 with the other varieties maturing 15 days later. Q. Is. barley a satisfactory feed for poultry? A. While not as palatable as corn or wheat, barley is an excellent poultry feed. However, if used as a substitute for yellow corn in the scratch or if barley meal is to re place yellow corn meal in the mash, a supplement must be made to sup ply . the deficiency in vitamin A which is brought about by this usage. The use of 5 per cent alfalfa leaf meal in the mash would com pensate for this shortage of the vitamin A. Q. How can I control anthracnose in my dewberry field ? A. The cutting off at or just be low the ground level of all growth just as soon as the picking season has closed has proven effective in not only controlling anthracnose but several other diseases that at tack the parts of the dewberry plants that are above the ground. The old canes should "be removed from the. field and destroyed as the anthracnose fungus will live on the dead canes and pass to the new canes : which grow up soon after the cutting. If new plantings are to be made the old stubs should be carefully pruned off be fore the new stock is set. John E. Beale Enlists In U. S. Marines John E. 15eale, son of Mr., and Mrs. James H.
