Now that the holiday seasons
are "not far off, he said growers
should classify their birds into three
groups: breeders, market turkeys,
and culls.
Although the very best birds
should be saved for breeders, there
will be many good .birds available
for Marketing, and growers should
make every effort to get their mar
ket birds in good condition, Par-
rish pointed: out.
Turkey finest is considered some
what of at luxury, he added, and
therefore quality birds will com

remains to be thrashed out in the
future. It is thought that all the
rough lumber now being used for
the temporary building can be uti
lized in a permanent structure. It
will be remembered that the school
was delayed in opening on account
of a disturbance about the faculty.
However, it is said that the fire
was not at all of an incendiary ori
gin. The boy who builds fires in the
stoves was in another room build
ing another fire when the first fire
he had built caused the building to
become ignited and beyond control
when discovered. The old building
was a seven-room structure heated
by a stove in each room. In addi
tion to the total loss of the building,
all the desks, seats, blackboards,
and a pCano were destroyed. The
fire occurred early in the morning
before the school was due to open,
hence none of the teachers were
present An insurance policy of
$5,000 was in force. The faculty of
this school this session is composed
of the following: Mr. W. W. Angel,
Principal, Miss Marjorie Blanken

Feed Quail And '
Check Erosion at
Same Time
Every farmer knows a bobwhits
quail when he sees- one, but few
are thoroughly familiar with its
food and breeding habits, its en
emies and the diseases that thin
out its numbers.
George B. Becker, biologist of
the Soil Conservation Service, says
that 86 percent of the food of the
quail consists of waste' grain and
plant food.
In providing quail and other de
sirable forms of wildlife with food
and cover by the planting of shrubs
legumes and grasses in gullied
areas, galled spots and odd corners,
the farmer in cooperation with the
Soil Conservation Service and State
College ' Extension Service not on!y
helps to replenish the supply of
wildlife but controls erosion on his
farm.
Cowpeas, soybeans, waste grains
left after harvest, sorghums, mil
let, wild plum, mulberry, dewberry,
ragweed, lespedeza, beggarweed,
blueberries, huckleberries, dogwood,
wild cherry and weeds are among
the food producing plants attractive
to the bobwhite quail.
Fourteen percent of the food of
the bobwhite quail consists of ani
mal life, including grasshoppers,
weevils, locust, chinchbugs, cater-,
pillars, squash bugs, cucujnber
beetles and wire worms, said Becker.
The bobwhite mates usually in

May and lays from 6 to 20 eggs,
which are hatched in 23 to 24
days. Soon after hatching the young
are able to take care of themselves
in their new environment,! .and- if
everything goes well with' the first
brood the female usually does not
lay another set of eggs.
Among the agencies tending to
decrease the bobwhite, Becker
pointed out, are its predatory en
emies, disease, and weather condi
tions. Some of the prominent enemie
of the quail are stray eats and dogj,
Cooper's hawk, sharp-shinned hawk,
skunk, o'possum, cotton rata, snakes,
ticks, redbugs, and red ants.
Quail are veny susceptible to
poultry diseases and cannot be
propagated successfully near chick
ens. Quail diseases, coccidiosis, and
blackheads are among the diseases
of the bobwhite.
While farmers have no control
over the weather, Becker stated,
they can provide the quail with
food andiover, which will at the
same time heln to control soil ero
sion, and build up the fertility of
the soil as well as add beauty of the
farm. ,

RED RIVERS
When I was a boy, my parents
lived for awhile in Tennessee,
where my father had a pastorate.
I had been born and had lived
on the banks of the beautiful blue
St. Johns river. It was a glorious
river two miles wide opposite my
home- That river was to me a thing
of never ending delight. At times
its wavelets sparkled like jewels
in the sunlight or the moonlight.
At other times its billows white
caipiped, rolled and plunged mag
nificently in the storm. Sometimes
it was so still it looked like a great
mirror. Big ships and little boats
moved across its broad, gently
flowing surf ace- -row-boats, sail
boats, launches, steamboats, ocean
liners, great ships with all sails
spread like huge white birds.
So when I laid eyes on the muddy,
red Tennessee river, I thought, it
was the ugliest thing I had ever
seen. s
Today I know, tend so do yon,"
that a muddy river means more than;
ugliness;' it means disaster; it
means that valuable topsail is wash-'

Best Pork Comes
From Well
Conditioned Hogs
Getting hogs in good condition
for slaughtering is one of the
main points in successful butcher
ing, said H. W. Taylor, extension
swine specialist at State College.
The best pork, hs said, comes
I from hogs that are neither too
old, too fat or too thin.
Butcjtier hogs should be well
finished. A well finished hog
weighing from 200 to 250 pounds
produces the most satisfactory pork
for curing on the farm.
SrriPoth, evenly fleshed 4iimals
produce B better meat, and will
cut up with less waste than coarse,
rough, wrinkled, and flabby ones.
They also have a more tender,
finer textured product with the
right proportion of fat and lean.
Hogs that are gaining in weight
are usually the healthiest and will
make the best meat. Hi.-wever, the
loss of a few pounds in shipping be
fore butchering will not lower the
qu'ality of the meat.
The muscles of a thin hog are
tough. They lack the flavor and
juciness found in a well marbled
piece of meat.
Extreme fat, heavy hogs cannot
be converted into the best quality
cured pork.
Although hogs may be slaughter
ed at any age, meat from young pigs
is watery and soft and does not have
the flavor and keeping qualities of
meat from animals a little older-
