C., un ? der act of March 3rd, t j NOT SO LARGE BUT An appropriation .of more than $400,000,000 has been approved by the House of Representatives for the I War Department, which will manage the American army of 165,000 regu lars during the next fiscal year. Recent figures compiled by the War Department show that the United I States ranks tenth in size or regu- j lar forces, behind Poland, Rumania, I Spain, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Great Britain and Russia. Including trained reserves this nation drops to I nineteenth place in potential fighting power. This country has, besides its regu-1 lar army, an estimated 309,000 men in the National guard and other train ed reserves. Compared to Russia's I regular army of 1,500,000 and- train-1 ed reserves of 19,490,000 we are not in the select military circle even though our army costs us a lot of I money. JUST A MINOR CAUSE OF DEATH Statistics reliably inform us that passengers on steam railroads are I reasonably safe but that fifteen times I every day, at grade crossings, which I accidents occur one-third of the time I result in death and average three persons injured. In a month, it "seems, some 1701 Americans give up their existence j because they either forget about I trains and engines, or else can't see them. More than 500 are injured I because they occupy the rails when j rolling stock has the right of way. Trespassers, not included in the above figures, shuffle off their moral I coils at the rate of five a day while sleeping , walking or loafing between the iron ribbons which the engines J use. Americans, it seems, are hardy race. I We pay little or no" attention to | speeding automobiles which kill an average of a hundred persons every 24 hours and can hardly be expectedl to gape with astonishment as a minor cause of death that snuffs out! ;only ten or twelve lives every time! the sun rises. I POPPY DAY IS MAY 29th Saturday, May 29th, was designat ed as Poppy Day in Farmville by a proclamation issued today by Mayor John B. Lewis. In the proclamation, J Mayor Jofcn B. Lewis called upon all citizens to observe the day by wear ing memorial poppies in honor of the World War dead. Volunteer workers from the Ameri can Legion Auxiliary will distribute I poppies throughout the city Satur- J day, May 29th, and receive contribu tions for the welfare of the living victims of the war, the disabled veterans, the widows and fatherless I children. Cooperative Selling Pleases Hog Growers With twelve markets already estab lished and two more under considera tion, cooperative hog marketing in eastern North Carolina is proving al boon to swine growers, declares H. W. Taylor, swine specialist for the State College Extension Service. Working with county agents, the! growers haul their hogs to a central! loading point on prescribed days for I shipment to Northern markets in car load lots. Prices this spring have been good, J Taylor says, mid farmers generally have been pleased with the coopera-1 tive plan. This is the first year that I hogs have been shipped on a large! scale cooperatively. Markets are now operating in New | Bern, Tarboro, Plymouth, Greenville, Washington, Shawboro, Warsaw, Four Oaks, Burgaw, Elizabethtown, Lomberton, and Rowland. Taylor says that markets in Scot-! land Made and Kinston are now under consideration. If sufficient interest! is taken, shipping points will be established in these two places. Other points will also be considered. Leading the way in the largest shipments is the New Bern Coopera tive Livestock Market, serving farm ers of Cwwv Carteret, Jores, One Iow, and Paeehco counties.

ANSWER: Rotenone dust will, in all probability, give the best control. The dust should contain about 76 per cent of the ratenone and the first ap plication should be made just as soon as you see the first small white but terfly in the cabbage field. Dust as often as worms are found and be sure and get the dust down into the cen ter of the plants. This dust will also control bean beetles and should be applied when the first cluster of eggs are found on the under side of the bean leaves. For bean beetles the dust should be applied under the leaves and not on top. QUESTION: Is there any cure for Bumblefeet in chickens? ANSWER: Where the truoble is not too severe it is possible to cure It by making an incision in the injured foot and carefully removing the in fected material. The area should then be sterilized with iodine and bandaged and the bird kept closely confined while the wound is healing. However, unless the bird is of ex ceptional value no cure should be attempted as these attemps in the majority of cases are unsuccessful QUESTION: When is the best time to treat sheep for stomach worms? ANSWER: Drenching for stomach worms should begin about June 1. As a usual thing one or two treatments are sufficient for mature animals, but in cases of severe infestation both the lambs and ewes should be drenched every two or four weeks until frost. Keep the animals to be treated of? feed for 24 hours before and off feed and water for five hours after drench ing. The copper sulphate solution is most generally used for stomach worms, but the nicotine sulphate has also proven valuable, especially where tape worms are present. The nico tine sulphate solution is made by mixing together one-half ounce of 40 percent nicotine sulphate (Black Leaf 40) and one quart of water. Mature sheep should receive two or three ounces of this solution at each treatment and lambs from one to two ounces.
