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. I
To date, according to M. A. Mor
gan, Craven farm agent, growers!

Timely Farm Questions
Answered at State
College
QUESTION: What is the best
control for cabbage worms?
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.
