C Five ' months per year is enough, in which to push lay ing hens into extra laying by extend ing the feeding hours through the use of lights. The North Carolina Kxneriment Station has just com pleted its second three-year test with laying hens and finds that the period between November first and April first is the oeriod to use lights. For the remainder of the year, the birds should be allowed to teed during the normal davlieht. "Beginning with the pullet year, we iave subjected hens to 36 consecu tive months of 14 feeding hours per day, securing the extra hours by us ing electric lights," says Dr. B. F Kaupp, head of the poultry depart ment at State College. "This past year marked the completion of the second such test. Our, results show conclusively that a hen must have a rest period between each year of ex posure to the extra hours. This M needed that she might replenish he depicted stores of vitamins, minerals and vitality. It is not wise to sub ject a hen to the extra feeding hours for more than five months of the year and the time between November 1 and April 1 is recommended." Dr. Kaupp and his associates have found that a sudden reduction of th' feeding hours will be accompanied by premature molting and that irreg tilar lighting will always give .poo results in securing -extra eggs.

SCHOOL NEWS Furnished by Lanier Literary Society Editorial The' School Grounds "Rciutifv the school erounds" has been our slogan ever since last year. Some of the grades have been carry ing out part of it by planting trees whirli itnnroves the aonearance of the grounds wonderfully. The elev enth grade started the ball rolling last fall by setting young maples along the walk. Last Friday afternoop Mrs. Franks accompanied some of her ninth grade boys out or town.. with the result that we now have several young evergreens around our grounds. These trees will add greatly to the appearance or our scnooi. Mnt vorv lone aero, a stranecr asked where . the school house was. When it was pointed out to him he replied, "I saw that building over there, but thought it was a chair fac tory or something of the sort." We hope that visitors, next summer, may recognise our school building and grounds as such, and not as a tactory Couldn't some of the other grades follow the example of the sister classes? Prof. Bramlett will gladly suggest p 1 a n s for improvements needed. children come from homes ihore are no attractive grounds and others have attractive homes. If our school grounds are uncafed tor and bare, the first group of children have no environment which is pleas ing, while the second group are cheat ed out of what they deserve. . They have something at home wnicn is mnm noreeahle than at school and mnU miirli nrpfor stavine at home If we. "beautify the school grounds, the. first group of pupils will be en couraged to follow ,tne example u home. M; L. F. '26. School News TVmrcHav cvrnintr.

Cost of North Carolina's m-'U l U I f Child Labor L.aW The- North Carolina Health Bulle tin has for it's motto: ."Health The State's Greatest Asset," and on the cover page is always the picture of a sturdy child, ine very enitwui- inent nf health. To insure this as- eetlipfllth to the state we must be: gin with the infant, or to make assur ance doubly sure, we must begin with the mother and father of the rhiM. rememherinir that the children pf today are the future mothers -and fathers of the state. Tn he horn well with no handicao of disease is half the battle toward the desired end of developing men and women of such physical, mental and moral strength that they are capable of rendering efficient, service to their state. , Medical science has come to rec ognize the fact that the adolescent child cannot be tied down to toil, especially indoors as is the case of mills and factories,' for long hours without a sacrifice of physical, men tal and moral powers. Ch H nature demands iresn air sunshine and play in order to develop as Hod inten derl he should. Christ said "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more ahnnlantlv " There is no abundance OI lite to .a .... child shut in from the fresh air and sunshine eight to ten hours a day, no time for study or play, it a nignt srhn nl is available, what can be ac complished by a child weary in body and mind? A weak body and undeveloped mind means weak morals also. If the state could forego the service of citizens onvsicailv ana mentally strong which would mean the expense of hospitals, insane asy lums and numberless expensive insti tutions for the care of the feeble she surely cannot afford jails and nenetentaries to house and feed mur dcrers and thieves, and the expense Of bringing them to justice, to say nothing of the havoc wrought in the countrv bv such criminals. Is it not much cheaoer to build schools, olay grounds and churches, where children mav he nrooerlv trained and develop ed and see that they" have time and nnnnrtunitv for such development that they may become useful men anl women iand i honor to their state than for a few paltry' dollars' allow them to be placed where such devel opment is impossible and then be compelled to build anl maintain jails and poor houses, and also have the honor of the state trailed in the dust hv criminals?. . Answer that Question and you wil no . rlnnhr vote and work ' for the child labor amendment proposed by the League ot Women Voters. In the following statistics there is ahnndant evidence that moral sttfrn ina is lacking in the citienship of our country, taken as a whole,! and no doubt the lack of proper environment for our children- 5o rfc-?jrwi!bJA.if.ir these paling hgures : uur nomiciae rat is lusher than anv other Chris tian nation in the wosld.
