QUESTION: How can I elimi
nate mastitis in my dairy herd?
ANSWER: Mastitis can be con
trolled with practicall sanitation
measures. Tests conducted at the
North Carolina Agricultural Ex-
' periment Station on two herds
showed that where sanitary prac
tices were followed, infection was
held down to less than 4 per cent
of the quarters tested. Recom
mended sanitary practices in
clude: (1) clean, dry stalls with
plenty of good litter; (2) the ap
plication of good disinfectants
such as lye solution or superphos
phate to rear half of stall beds;
(3) good udder hygien—^udders
and teats wiped clean at each
milkink; (4) early treatment of
teat injuries; and (5) partial se
gregation of active cases to one
end of the milking line.
shown that doses up to 80 grams
of copper were not' poisonous to
neifers or adult cows. An animal
consuming as much as 10 pounds
daily of peanut plants with the
highest levels of copper shown,
would have an average intake of
only .23 grams of copper.

JUESTION: I’ve heard a lot a-
bout mulching of small fruits.
Does it pay to mulch red rasp
berries?
Answer: Mulching of red rasp
berries produces a larger plant,
bu: C. F. Williams of State Col
lege finds that yields are not in
creased because of increaded di-
e. sc. Williams has tried grain
s'.rav.', legume hay, pine straw,
-.•av.cU.ist and strawy manure on
i:d;i raspberries, but ineach case
disease was so severe ' that' the
canes died back bet'ore the plant
could yield heavily. Mulching
lowered soil temperatures and
improved soil moisture conljitions,
but these gains were off-set by
loss of canes from disease.

QUESTION-: I have been dust
ing my peanuts with cooperrsulfur
dusts to control leafspot disease.
Will the copper residue on the
leaves be harmful to. livestock
when I feed the hay?
ANSWER: No. Tests at State
College have shown that even the
heaviest rates of copper dusting
’.?i: no harmful residues on pea-
.rut hay. Copper lesidue varies
widely with methods of applica
tion, climatic conditions, and
time and number of treatments.
Even so there seems to be no like-
lihoid that the copper content
would be poisonous to livestock.

American farmers have estab
lished an enviable performance
in mechanizing their farm, except
where they have let accidents
mar the records, H. E. Vernon,
county agent for the State Coll
ege Extension Service said today.
America leads the world in
mechanized agriculture. Three
million farm tractors now play a
vital role in the production and
harvesting of the nation’s crops,
Mr. Vernon said. But at the same
time. National Safety Council re
ports indicate that tractors may
be involved in nearly 75 per cent
of all accidents with farm mach
inery. All these accidents are
needless.
The main safety rule for operat
ing tractors in the field is just
good common sense. You can’t

Careless parents who permit chil

Here are a few more important
rules:
1. Be careful coupling iijiple-
ments Jo tractors, always stay in
the clear.
2. Alvpid wearing loose, floppy
clothing while operating tractors.
3. Observe standard traffic sig
nals when operating on public
highways.
4 Use light for night operation,
don’t operate in the dark.
5. See that everyone is in the

A drive to reduce the number of
overweight, big-ended and roll
ing bales of cotton this fad has
been launched by the National
Cotton Council, according to Dr.
I. O. Schaub, director of the State
College Extension Service. ,
In a letter to Director Schaub,
Claude L. Welch, director of the
Council’s production and mar
keting division, said that reducing
the number of overweight bales
will make the rolling and big-
ended problems less severe.
“An estimated one out of every
ten bales weighs more than 600
pounds,” Welch • said “Over
weight bales are sometimes dock
ed as much as $6 each and may
even be rejected.”
Welch listed several other dis
advantages of overweight bales.
They cause damage to gin mach
inery, he said, and this means
' higher ginning charges in the long
! run. They cost more to load, han
dle, transport and store, and -ulti
mately the farmer must stand
this added cost. They put extra
strain on warehouse and gin
presses. Rolling bales are ex
tremely expensive to press.
“The entire cotton industry is
geared to a 500-pound bale,
Welch added. “Wide variations
from this weight increase costs
all along the line.”
Director Schaub pointed out
that farmers can help reduce the
number of overweight bales by
paying more attention to the a-
mount of seed cotton they bring
in per bale. Ginners can help by
carefully controlling the amount
of seed cotton going into a bale,
when ginning from multiple-
bale loads and from storage.

VACATION! They’ve picked time and place,
and they’ve planned and saved for months.
That’s the American way—the way of free
choice—so familiar we take It for granted.
A man picks his Job, leaves It freely for a
better one. He chooses the town he’ll work
in, the house where he’ll live. He saves or
spends as he wishes, with only his Income
and his wife to dictate to him.
That’s what happens when a free people
turn over their responsibilities to their gov
ernment They also turn over their, freedom
of choice. Socialism is. the result How does
Socialism happen? Not overnight It is woven
slowly, a thread at a time, into the bonds of
slavery. Little by little , the government as
sumes powers other than governing—until It
finally assumes all power.
It’s not that way everywhere. In some
countries, the govenunent puts a man in a
city, a house, a job, with no choice In the
matter. He can’t quit, leave town or move
around the corner without permission. If he
gets a vacation, he is told where and when
to go. The government runs everything, the
people nothing.
In this coLmtry the government has already
entered the electric light and power business
—and is aiming at medicine, steel," railroads
and other industries. Advocates of the plan
refuse to call it socialism, but that Is how
socialism got its starfin other, countries. Call
it anything you please—it is a threat to ^
freedom!
