THURSDAY, APRIL 19th, 1945 THE NEWS-JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. PAGE THREE State College Answers Timely Farm Questions QUESTION: What is wrong with my chickens? ANSWER: This question is an swered several times daily by H. C. Gauger, :n charge of the Poultry Di sease Laboratory at State College. A small box of chicks is opened and the firs', chick examined has his neck so stretched out that he resembles a giraffe. The chick is gassed in a small chamber and Cauger begins his work with a surgeon's knife. The chick of Mrs. K. A. Redfern of Wadesboro, RFD, hf.s a cockle our in his craw. The bur came from lespedeza hay used a.- ;-. litter. R. D. Beck of Wake Forset, Ke.ite 2, had the same trouble with h: chicks where he used sand as litter. From February 21 to March 23. Gs..;er made 141 autopsies in answer. i.; the question, "What's wrong w.th my chicken?", and in 63 case.- :he answer was "Pullorum." Poultryr. en can not 'be too careful in the selection of disease-free chicks. QUESTION: How can I get rid of nut-i:ass? ANSWER: Since chemical con trols have not been found practicable, there is nothing left but frequent plowing during the growing season and grow::ig a winter hay or legume crop during the cold season, says Prof. B. W. Wells of the Botany De partment at State College. "For the Get acquainted with your pattern. ities advise plowing or discing every three weeks and, in cases of bad in festation, this will have to be carried through two seasons," he explains. "The deep plowing or discing brings the tubers to the surface where they are killed by drying out and also cuts them free from the leafy parts of the plant, resulting in their starv ation." QUESTION: Do English" sparrows transmit certain poultry parasites and diseases ANSWER: Yes, says Prof. Roy Dearstyne of the Poultry Department at State College. "They are quite a nuisance and dangerous in the poultry yard, but how are we going to get rid of them," he asks. "Some have suggested poisoning but this is not practical. Reminds me of the pre war joke about Fords. There's no use passing one on the road because there's always two in back of it." QUESTION: Would you advise the use of linseed oil treated covers for sweet potato plant beds? ANSWER: The only certified plant grower in North Carolina using 'his on a large scale is L. M. James of the Carolina Plant Farms at Bethel He uses raw linseed oil to paint on the cloth, says A. D. Stuart, associate Agronomist with the Agricultural Experiment Station at State Col'ege. The cloth use is about the weight of poor quality sheeting, which is much thicker than cheesecloth or tobneco canvas as used in this section fo- to bacco plant beds. The potatoes are bedded usually about March 15 or 2'i, and are usually ready by Apri: 30 James does lose some early beds be cause of freezing. The soil used t: cover the potatoes is the same fls is present at the beds, a Norfolk sandy luam, Stuart says. QUESTION: What accounts for the variety of flavors one finds in mo lasses? ANSWER: Dr. W. J. Peterson, head of the nutrition section of the Ani mal Industry Department at State College, points out that molasses is a by-product of the sugar, less mo lasses and more cane-sugar is ob tained. The molasses has a loer sugar content than formerly and the non-sugar content has increased. Be cause of the presence of gums, min erals, and nitrogenous matter, no two lots are apt to be indentical as to flavor. Molasses also contains vari-i able amounts of lime, sulphur di oxide and possibly other material? used in the manufacture of sucrose. As might be expected, these things contribute to the variability in n.o lasses flavor, he says. QUESTION: How can 1 prevent, onion flavor -in the milk from my five cows? ANSWER: J. A. Arey, Extension dairyman at State College, recom mends taking the cows off of pas ur infested with the wild onion plan', at least six hours before milking time then put them in a lot or barn and feed them dry roughage. 0 The Nazis don't like the V-for-Vic- tory 3-cent stamp used on letters to war prisoners in Germany, Post Of fice authorities warn. o A state-wide dairy cattle show for negroes will be held on September 21 and a committee is now seeking a suitable place for the show.

God has a purpose for the lives of men and of nations. Happy are those who seek His guidance so that their lives may be directed in right and useful channels. God's threefold purpose for Israel, which we noted in our lesson of last week, could only be worked out in a nation which was separated unto Him, following holiness in its life and service. Moses, one of the ;reatest and most able figures of all history, was God's appointed leader. Hi.3 success is explained by his willingness to fol low God's leading. He sought: I. God's Counsel (18:19). Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, having observed how he was bur dened constantly by the affairs of the people, came to oiler him ad vice. He started in the right place, by urging Moses to continue to seek God, yes, to spend even more time in the Lord's presence, asking His wisdom and guidance. No man can lead a people in the right way if he does not have his own life in constant touch with the throne of God. Much of the failure of our day centers right there. We talk much to other men about our national and international problems. There are multiplied meetings and conferences. They do have value, but very little, unless there is a seeking of God's will. A day of national repentance and prayer would do more for us than many weeks of discussion and de bate. We need to seek God's coun sel. Note that the coming of Moses to God concerned the daily affairs of his people. That reminds us that not only the life of our nation, but that of our own homes and our personal beings all need God's counsel. To aid Moses in administering the affairs of the nation, Jethro recom mended the appointment of men who were to serve as: II. God's Counselors (18:30-24). There has been not a little criti cism of Moses for accepting this ad vice. It is pointed out that when God puts heavy burdens on us, the way out is not to shift the load on someone else, but to seek God's spe cial grace to bear it and to do it acceptably. There is value in such an interpre tation; but when one considers the devout and careful approach of Jeth ro to the matter (vv. 9-12) and his evident desire to glorify God in it all, there is ground for believing that he was giving Moses good advice. The great unorganized host of pos sibly two million people were going through a very difficult experience. The result was dissension and strife, often over trivial things, which need ed to be settled. For all this to come to Moses seemed undesirable; there fore other men were chosen to be counselors to the people, inter preting for them the law and the will of God. While each of us should carry every God-given responsibility with gladness, that does not mean that we are to assume that only we are able to do things. There is no more tragic figure than the pastor or church oflicer who tries U do every thing. Why not put othi rs to work? How can our young people and new ' converts over find a place of service ' if older Christians hold on to every job in the church? Lot us train ! them; then trust th.'in with real re- I sponsibility. Counsel, encourage, ' pray, direct if need be, but do not try to do it all yourself! 1 Now we come to the solemn and 1 crucial moment wlu-n God was ready to establish His people and they were ready to accept : III. God's Covenant (19:3-8). In the sacred and nwe-inspirina , meeting place before Mount Sinai, where the Lord was to give them His law (Exod. 20), they made a sol emn covenant with God. In preparation for it He reminded them of what He had done for them in the past. God is the unchanging One. If He was tender and gracious toward them in the past, they could enter the future confident of His blessing. And so may we! Note verses 5 and 8, for they give us God's great purpose for Israel. All they had to do was to obey His voice by keeping His covenant. This they, in solemn assembly, agreed to do (v. 8). How different their his tory and that of the world would have been had they kept their prom ise. We lament their failure, but what about us who are so highly favored that we have Christ in our midst? Are we obedient? Following the making of the cove nant (which God will one day fulfill in spite of their failure), we have the giving of the Ten Command ments, and the establishment of Is rael's center of worship in the tab ernacle. It was the dwelling place of God among His people. How precious! ' News Behin By Paul Mallon Released by Western Newspaper Umua. TARIFF CUT OPPOSED AS BUSINESS HANDCUFFS WASHINGTON. Mr. Roosevelt's request for power to cut the tariff another 50 per cent (making 75 per cent in all from the 1934 rates) fell on hard congressional soil. Some not alone the Republicans say it represents practically free trade and nowhere near the actual difference between the cost of pro duction at home and abroad which is what a good tariff rate should be. I know at least two highly placed Democratic senators who are dis pleased. Labor is beginning to grumble also. AFL's Matthew Woll came out against it in a statement which is supposed to be a fore runner of labor opposition. There certainly will be a fight and the outcome is by no sound means foretellable yet. The President called for it as one of "the kit of tools" he needs to handle postwar trade, but the Re publicans are calling it a monkey wrench. Without doubt it contrasts strangely with some of the other' tools he asked for, particularly the proposed balloonish world bank, which is to lend money for the de velopment of industry abroad. AIDED COMPETITORS Under our own foreign loan and rehabilitation program we gave money, for one example, to finance tha building of a steel plant in Bra zil. For another, during the AAA days when we restricted cotton pro duction, the cotton growing industry in Brazil and other countries grew rapidly. '' This competition is such that at a recent congressional hear ing there was testimony that cot ton can be produced in Brazil, Mexico and other South Amer ican countries cheaper than in the United States. For others, we have put money into Mexico to finance mineral industries which can compete with us, in deed, the New Deal favors in dustrialization of the world. . Now the New Deal argument, used by Mr. Roose.'elt, is the familiar one heard often from his new com merce secretary V.Vl i v. that as we are a creditor r and all the world owes us (indeed, far more than it can ever repay) the tariff theory must be abandoned, at least "5 per cent abandoned. INCREASE FOREIGN DEBT But the tt-.-'s in the kit he has asked for would make us even more of a creditor nation. In short his whole policy is a spend-Iend pro gram for foreign trade, the giving of money to the bank to enable them to build more competing industries and the giving of money to the sta bilization fund to support a fictitious value for prospective foreign buying nations, and cutting the tariff gen erally so everything can get into this country. We cannot avoid wind ing up, out of such a proposition, with every nation owing us even more than it does now. Would anyone then think the era sure of the final 25 per cent of the tariff would help our creditor posi tion? Or would we not then realize our creditor danger had merely been doubled? Certainly the more we spend and lend the more they owe us and the money comes from our people. There are so many problems to foreign trade that tl'.e vastness of tiie suoject is beo::d l.;iman grasp, at least beyond mine. Ejt, in any cuse, tiie new v.,i:d e ate coming into will involve wi: illy dill'erent. problems than those of oldtime tar ill walls. Think, for instance, of Chinese la bor costs and the Russians' govern ment production system which can value anything at any price. Both of these were not involved seriously before, but they r:'ay beeonie more important than tra.L' with Britain and Canada (the two nations the President mentioned1. It seemed to me Mr. Roosevelt rather answered himself with one basic observation in his message to congress. He. said: "We cannot hope to maintain exports at levels necessary to furnish the additional markets we need for agriculture and in dustry, income far the farmer and jobs for labor, unless we are willing to take paymeuts in imports." Well, why not? This rather di rectly suggests that what we should be doing is taking imports for ex ports. That seems to imply an en tirely different ideal. WAR END DRAWS NEAR When General Eisenhower said the Nazi armies had been whipped, he did not mean exterminated. Two days after his statement, they were still putting up a blockade of suc cessful resistance ia three sectors particularly, including even in the old Remagen bridgehead area. Their army as a whole was hope lessly whipped, but military judges here who have not been wrong often in this war considered it four or five weeks away from unit destruction.
